Chapter 339: Of course it wasn't intentional

'You didn't score today, you didn't score today, and your record of consecutive hat-tricks was interrupted, which doesn't seem to match what you said before the game: 'No one can stop you from scoring.'

This was the first question Wu Jie was asked after the game, and he was stupid directly.

But it wasn't surprising that it was the BBC who asked the question.

'Yes, it means that Everton's defence was successful, they did have the ability to keep me out of the scoring and I apologise for my pre-game arrogance.'

Wu Jie smiled very politely, and then answered the question that I don't know whether to treat him as cerebral palsy or the people of England as cerebral palsy.

"This game brings Arsenal and Everton back to the same running line, but even if the two sides are tied until the end of the season, Arsenal will win the title because of goal difference, do you think Everton still have a chance to overtake?"

This is a question from a reporter from The Sun, but it is not known who he wants to put pressure on.

"Optimistic people see opportunities in every crisis, and pessimistic people see crises in every opportunity, this is Churchill's famous saying, and I think I can answer your question."

Wu Jie still answered the question of cerebral palsy with a polite smile.

"Now Arsenal have won the Carabao Cup and overtaken Everton to top of the table. In addition, you have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. At this moment, are you willing to make your true ambitions public? ”

When the Times reporter asked questions, the words he used were clearly not so benign.

"I don't like the word 'ambition', but it's really a neutral word, because it's often called ambition before the dream comes true, but after the ambition comes true, it's called the dream, and that's what you're talking about."

Wu Jie did not show too modesty, because this small treble may be a unique new history for Arsenal, but it is a small achievement for him.

This will make him not even look up to the Champions League title so much, the only thing he desires is the World Cup title, and the rest is small and medium.

Speaking of the World Cup, the Chinese team is ready for their first group stage match of the Asian qualifiers – their first game is away to Syria, who suffered a crushing defeat in the Bekaa Valley three years ago.

There is naturally no suspense about the outcome of this game, because Syria is unable to even play on home due to a series of problems such as war, and can only play its home stadium in Hong Kong.

The most concerned about the outcome of the game is not the outcome of the game, but the new lineup of the Chinese team, especially the first time to enter the national first team, Yang Shuhua, a center forward from Xinjiang, and Zheng Guohong, a central defender from Shaanxi.

These two have attracted a lot of attention because their age is easy to make people think.

It is rare for the Chinese team to recruit such players who are only seventeen or eighteen years old, but it also means that once selected by the national team at this age, there is a chance that he is a real talent.

This can refer to the debut time of Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, Lin Yaodong, and Ren Zhihui, who were basically selected into the national team at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

If people like Gu Guangming and Jia Xiuquan were selected for the national team in their twenties, then even some talents are far from being geniuses, which has also been proven from their later growth.

Therefore, whether or not you can enter China's national first team before the age of 19 seems to be an important indicator of genius or not, which is equivalent to China's own judgment of talent.

Naturally, European teams will not be unable to summarize such an obvious pattern, so even Manchester United, which has just been fooled, has sent scouts to investigate again, or a whole investigation team.

But unfortunately, in this game against Syria, Yang Shuhua and Zheng Guohong did not get the opportunity to play.

Head coach Nian Weisi still attaches great importance to the first game of the group stage, and the training of newcomers will have to wait for later.

Syria did play very bloody in the face of the Chinese team, but this is not the level of more than 10,000 registered players in the country, and the Chinese B team won the first victory in the group stage with a 5:0 neat victory.

When Asian countries see such a Chinese team, which can be said to be quite unfamiliar, their strength still has not declined, and they can only sigh that China's talent pool in football is too perverted.

Not to mention that they feel scared, Wu Jie himself can't imagine that when China really mobilizes the whole country in a certain aspect and walks on the right path, the potential that can burst out will be so terrifying!

This will be the idol effect of Chinese football in him and the tool man, including the stimulation of comic books such as "Football Player", especially in order to reduce juvenile crime and promote sports policy, at this time the number of registered professional football players in China has easily exceeded the million level unconsciously, as for those children and adults who play football in schools and open spaces, it is even more.

Under this atmosphere of national sports, a large number of fourteen or fifteen-year-old waves have begun to emerge explosively, including outstanding young players around the age of 20 who are several times more than the original plane of the same period, which is completely the rhythm of running towards the future of table tennis!

Therefore, the current Chinese football is really picking out a provincial team that can meet Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Japan and South Korea and other countries.

If star players are selected from various provincial teams to form a team, then China at this time is enough to pick out four or five national teams that have enough advantages in Asia.

But it is precisely because of the overabundance of talent that when you think about the growth of those who are now fourteen or fifteen years old in a few years, only one national team is obviously not suitable for a populous country like China.

In view of this, the current Chinese football team has begun to implement the AB national team system proposed by Wu Zhengsong, and this time the national B team has changed half of the lineup when it won the Asian Cup.

In addition, the second team, the third team, and echelons at all levels will implement this AB plan.

This new system is also simple, unlike the original Yao Ming's AB national team to improve competition, the AB national team at this time is mainly to solve the surplus of talent, and secondly, to motivate each other and improve competitiveness.

In the future, the national teams of Chinese football, including basketball, volleyball and other sports, will be divided into A team and B team, and the Asian competition will be rotated, and then the system of the capable and the weak will be eliminated and exchanged.

This system can be said to be very cruel, but it does help to improve the competitiveness between players and thus tap the potential of the team.

But this kind of team is not set forever, like the players who did not perform well in the Asian Cup last time were swept away by the A team, and those who played well entered the B team this time.

To put it bluntly, this time the B team is composed of some outstanding players who participated in the Asian Cup last time, plus the top students selected by the second team, the third team, and the youth team.

In the next stage of the top 10 competition, half of the outstanding players will also be selected from the B team this time, and the A team will be formed with the players in Europe, so as to screen the best players in each period.

Wu Jie is most satisfied with this system is that it is almost impossible to have pensions and related households, because no matter how much you contribute at your peak, as long as the level is no longer the top three national players in the same position, then you have to retreat bravely and give up the position to young people, of course, it may be someone older than you.

Even if you are 40 years old, as long as the state in the past six months is better than that of players in the same position, then you can also become a member of the national brand in this position.

It sounds ruthless, but anything that is competitive will eventually fall into a situation from which you will never recover, because your opponents will not tell you about it.

China's second group stage match was against the Frogs, a game in which China played at home.

The rabbit has been preparing for a long time, and plans to greet this frog who is still delusional about counterattacking.

The players even shouted a 14-0 slogan, which meant that every player on the pitch, including the substitutes and goalkeepers, scored one by one.

However, three days before the start of the competition, the Frog team suddenly issued a statement announcing that they would refuse to travel to the mainland for fear of persecution for intellectual disabilities.

This statement made the rabbits so angry that they wanted to pull out all the grass around them, but this situation was expected.

According to the rules, this kind of practice of refusing to play temporarily without giving an opinion on the competition venue in advance was naturally judged to be lost.

Naturally, the Chinese media collectively ridiculed the cowardice of the crooks, and if it is really a matter of venue, then wouldn't it be enough to apply for a neutral venue like Syria?

Since they did not have diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in the last tournament, they also played in a neutral country.

You don't want to come over and play, so why don't you say it in advance?

It's not that I'm worried about losing face by blood!

But this pattern is too small, right?

But in the frog's view, as long as the rabbit is not given a chance to mutilate, and the rabbit is not given a goal difference, this is the biggest victory.

At the end of April, the Chinese team went to Indonesia to play the third game, and the result was a 7:0 that made the Indonesian team almost disbanded on the spot.

Such an overwhelming game is arguably not of any reference value, and the disparity in strength between the two sides makes it impossible to see any meaningful information from it.

But Yang Shuhua's national team debut still attracted the attention of dozens of teams in Europe.

This little guy from Xinjiang is not a Uyghur, his parents are both military and Han Chinese.

This naturally makes people with a heart very unhappy, but when it comes to the Uyghurs, the basketball side has poached two small talents with four-star talents from Xinjiang, but it will take five or six years to see them appear in the national team.

Wu Jie is interested in this because the little girl of the Uyghur nationality is a beauty at first glance.

If you add Wang Xiaoqian, Xia Lin, and his sister, the appearance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the future may be flying!

This time, European scouts are most interested in Yang Shuhua, who plays the center forward position, and the talent he showed in his debut is indeed very attractive, even if the Indonesian team can't try his true quality at all, but judging from the hat-trick that he completed very freely on the bench in the second half, the talent he showed still made European scouts full of hope. Just go and listen to the book

The three games this month are naturally not much pressure on the Chinese team.

Wu Jie had some trouble here, but their opponent was in more trouble.

After winning the head-to-head meeting with Everton, Arsenal's tense form was also a little relaxed, and they were forced to draw by Norwich, who were desperately relegated at home.

But the reason for their relaxation was that Everton were beaten 3-1 at home by Luton Town a few hours earlier.

Obviously, the aftermath of Everton's heavy defeat to Arsenal was much more than just a game loss, and they did leak air.

Arsenal were forced to draw after receiving the good news because they were too relaxed.

But even so, they are still one point ahead of Everton.

League One standings at this time: Arsenal (58 points), Everton (57 points), Liverpool (51 points), Tottenham (47 points), Manchester United (45 points), Chelsea (42 points).

That situation means Arsenal won't have any opponents other than Everton, and after this draw, Everton fans actually see a little more hope as Arsenal face Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur in succession.

But in the game played on the afternoon of April 13, Arsenal relied on two goals from Wu Jie to win a crucial 3-2 victory at home.

This time it was a later game at Everton, and Arsenal's win was downright bad news for them and a huge pressure, with the leaky Toffees picking up just one draw against Chelsea that night.

Arsenal now hold a two-point advantage, and the title is equivalent to having been put into their mouths.

On April 17, Arsenal faced Tottenham Hotspur in the game, and there was no light and relaxed mentality, this time the Gunners fought three times, under the leadership of Wu Jie, they gnawed the most hard bone 2:1.

Everton were almost desperate at this point, and after Arsenal beat Nottingham and Tottenham, they faced Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the next five games.

However, Arsenal had their share of problems, as they met Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals and again on the third day of the league campaign.

On 20 April, Arsenal played away at Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup semi-finals on the 23rd, and their final league game of the month was on the 27th against Sheffield Wednesday.

This schedule is not much better than last month, and with such a cheating schedule in a row, Wu Jie knows why it is rare for a team to win both the league championship and the FA Cup during the League One period.

At this time, there are a total of 22 teams in League One, and there are 42 league games in a season alone, so it is almost impossible to win the Champions League, the league title, and the FA Cup at the same time.

But Wu Jie made all the difference, once again leading the rotation against Queens Park Rangers, helping Arsenal to a 2-1 win away from home, and scored both of Arsenal's goals.

At this time, his goal tally in the league has reached 41 goals, and if you look at the number of goals alone, it is not a laugh in the world during the League One period, and there are still many 40+ goals in a single season in League One in ancient times.

But while scoring 41 goals, he was able to provide 22 assists, which is unique in the entire history of League One.

The British looked at Wu Jie's 40+20 data, and then thought that Arsenal could really win the final League One treble, and they resisted in their hearts, and they could only include him in the top three great gods in the history of League One at that time.

At this time, the British were forced to pin their hopes of stopping Wu Jie on Nottingham, and even for the first time in the semi-finals, there was an obvious penalty against Arsenal, and obviously there were people in the FA who did not want Wu Jie to take all their domestic titles in the first season of League One.

However, under the difficulties of the referee, Wu Jie still used a world wave nearly 40 meters away to help Arsenal take the lead in the 28th minute of the first half.

At this time, the referee from Ireland couldn't even take care of the performance, so he could only enforce the law with one eye without any scruples.

Finally, at the end of the first half, he sent Terry Butcher off with a red card for a foul that was up to one yellow card.

Wu Jie also struggled to get a chance within 40 metres of goal today after scoring a goal as the Nottingham Forest players started to defend him with spikes.

In the second half, Wu Jie even rarely shoveled a 5-mile-long wound on his thigh.

It was the worst injury he had ever suffered in his career, and it took him minutes to get to the sidelines before Nottingham Forest seized the opportunity to play 9 on 11 and equalise the score.

But this also completely angered Wu Jie, but if he wants to retaliate against the referee, he must first lock up the victory, and think of a way not to be banned.

With so many concerns, there are not many ways he can use it, but to blast the football into the goal like a cannonball, or someone?

Wu Jie's shooting power is terrifying in this era, if he wants to, he can frequently kick shots with a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour, or even close to 200 kilometers per hour, and it is not impossible to kick a shot with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour if he is lucky.

But just as he disdains headers, long-range shots are too untechnical for him, and it's the continuous dribble and violent outside overtaking that is more eye-catching.

Today, for the first time, he used long-range shooting as his main means of scoring a goal.

In the second half, Wu Jie frequently bombarded the goal 30 meters in front of the goal, or even 40 meters away, which was very different from his usual style, and people had to worry about whether the goal would be broken by his heavy artillery.

Thankfully, the goal was fine in the end, but two Nottingham players were lifted down.

This made fans watching the game have to think in a "deliberate" direction, especially the second victim after Nottingham used up three substitutions in the second half, which directly led to the two sides returning to the same running line in terms of numbers - Nottingham Forest also had to respond with 10 men.

But at least they held on and managed to hold Arsenal to a draw within 90 minutes, and according to the rules of the FA Cup semi-finals and finals, if the team is tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be required, and if there is no difference in extra time, it will be a penalty shoot-out.

Nottingham Forest can only choose to defend in extra time, of course they know that this is not a good idea, but as long as you look at the players on both sides can hardly run, the thigh has been cut with a deep wound, and Wu Jie, who is bandaged with white gauze and soaked red with blood at this moment, can still run at a speed of 100 meters sprint, which really can't help but make people suspect that he is really an alien, this is too beastly, right?

Wu Jie's physical advantage allowed him to completely dominate the game in overtime, which is why he has always had high demands on the physical fitness of the national team, because the real tough battle is the last 20 minutes, and even how much strength can be played in overtime.

They don't need a talent who can only play half a good game now, who makes too many talents now.

Such a player, if his physical fitness is still as smooth as the original plane, then let alone entering the national team in the future, it is enough to choke whether he can be the core of the provincial team.

At the moment, the players on both sides have no strength, but Wu Jie still has the strength to make any technical moves, including long-distance running, including non-stop stops, including long-range shots that make Nottingham Forest players start to actively dodge.

In the 109th minute, in the second half of overtime, Wu Jie used a shooting feint in the midfield, not only deceived the two defenders in front of him, but also used a big foot to make the defenders who were about to cramp not even have time to get out of the spikes, so he broke into the 40-meter threat zone in front of the goal with the ball.

Wu Jie could choose to continue to break through at this time, but he chose to kick the football to an almost deformed burst and shot directly from a distance of 35 meters.

England's older international, Peter Hilton, reacted very quickly this time, as if he was 18 years old again.

But the speed of the ball was even more alarming than he expected, and he saw a lightning-like irregular flight trajectory shooting in the direction of his save, which made it impossible for Hilton to predict the shooting route, and could only rely on instinctive reaction to save.

However, the speed of the ball was obviously faster than he imagined, even if he judged the right direction, and even the trajectory of the flight that changed the line in the air was blinded, but the speed of the ball still made all of Hilton's efforts come to naught, and the ball flew into the goal at the speed of light before he could touch it......

"Who can stop him?"

It was a question from many English media on the second day, but it was more like a question about a team that lost to Arsenal, such as Nottingham Forest, who failed to prevent Arsenal from reaching the FA Cup final yesterday under the protection of the referee.

"Intentional or accidental?"

This is the report of most of the English media on the second day, Wu Jie kicked two Nottingham players with a violent long-range shot in the regular season, which already makes people feel that he is suspected of deliberately hurting people.

But it was not this that made many people want to take the opportunity to make a difficulty, but it was he who killed Nottingham Forest with a lightning-like long-range shot in the second half of extra time, and actually kicked the referee who was blocking the route with a shot at the end of the game and fractured three ribs.

Once, twice, it can be explained by accidents, but if two players are injured in a game and the referee is injured, if it is explained by coincidence, it seems too coincidental, right?

At least most Britons now believe that Wu Jie's last kick was deliberately kicked in order to avenge the referee's injustice to him in the game.

"If someone doesn't want me to win the championship, then ban me from racing, there's no need to use indiscriminate means!"

This was Wu Jie's preemptive strike in front of the camera the night before, as for who the subject of the interrogation was, no one who had watched the game needed to say much.

As for the next question of whether he deliberately kicked the referee, Wu Jie explained seriously: "The referee is counted as an on-field facility in a football game, which is no different from the goalpost, so it is normal for a long shot or pass to be kicked to the referee inadvertently. ”

"But the average shooting referee can avoid it, maybe because my shot is too powerful, so I regret Mr. Blanche's misfortune." ”

"But I'm not going to apologize because it was just an accident. If I had to say that I deliberately kicked the referee, it would be perfectly fair to say that every shot I made was deliberately hurting. No one in this world is 100% in control of their shooting path, and I can't make my shot go through all obstacles and into the goal every time. ”

What Wu Jie didn't say at this time was that if he used a bad luck card for the referee, he might be able to hit the target with a shot close to 200 kilometers per hour.

He can't use malicious cards on players in the game, but that doesn't mean he can't use them on the referee, and occasionally letting the referee know how powerful it is also a defensive measure to prevent being ridden on the head and.
