Chapter 170: Departure

Wu Jie spent three days at home in Beijing before finally leaving for Yunnan.

He didn't have to go to Haigeng, and the team would come to Beijing in half a month, and then he would join the team and go to Spain to participate in the World Cup.

But Wu Jie still chose to go to Haigeng in advance to join the national team.

Along the way, he began to think about upgrading for real tool people.

Now that the World Cup is about to start, of course, it is a priority to upgrade the tools in the field of football.

Lin Yaodong hasn't even cashed out his four-star talent now, so naturally he doesn't need to upgrade his four-and-a-half-star talent immediately, because there will be no change if he is upgraded.

Chen Haonan is different, he is 17 years old, and you need to know that most of the football superstars of each era have already made some fame at the age of 17.

His four-star athletic talent has also cashed in for the most part, and upgrading to four-and-a-half-star at this point would have a very noticeable improvement.

Of course, he won't upgrade the tool man of the three balls to a five-star talent, at least not in his time, otherwise he will be in a big way.

If you want to upgrade the tool man to a five-star talent, it is unless it is athletics, swimming, and combat sports.

In addition, he does not plan to continue to add tool players in the field of football, and the next step is to find a way to cultivate more real talents.

Chen Haonan's upgrade to a four-star and a half-level talent costs 60,000 Olympic coins, which is certainly not a problem for him.

After Wu Jie came to the Haigeng training base, he was first sought after by Kuwaiti players as an idol.

At this time, his influence in Asia has basically reached the level of Bruce Lee back then, and even more sensational, after all, football matches are played most of the year, and his phenomenal performance has always appeared in front of people.

This Champions League final has increased his fame a lot again, and even Chen Haonan has officially upgraded to Asia's No. 3 sports star through his performance of defeat, his popularity and influence are only slightly inferior to Ruda, who debuted a year earlier, and is likely to overtake after the World Cup.

Wu Jie finally met his little fan brother in Hong Kong, Lin Yaodong, who was about to worship Chen Haonan in the past two days.

This makes Wu Jie a little funny, if these two people worship the handle, then I'm afraid that the goods in Tazhai will be sold to Tsim Sha Tsui?

In his setting, Lin Yaodong is a *** like Tyson and Breitner, madly worshipping Grandpa Mao.

This guy did exactly that, at the moment he had Wu Jie's head tattooed on his left arm, and Tyson's tattoo on his right arm.

This kind of thing is why he dares to do this, after all, he grew up in Hong Kong, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Soon after Wu Jie and the two tool men met, the men's basketball team next door also began to train, except for Shen Lang who was still practicing hard in Zhejiang, the family was able to get together.

In the following half a month, these four heavenly pride sons quickly sympathized with each other.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this is normal, after all, like gathers like things.

At this time, people who can be like-minded with Wu Jie, how can they be said to be without a few geniuses.

But the four of them not only talked about things in the field of sports, Wu Jie also held his guitar and taught these people about music.

Of course, not everyone is interested, and Lin Yaodong said that he only likes "electronic science".

He had a bunch of "computer science" and "electronic science" magazines and books under the bed in his dormitory, and even applied to install a computer room in Haigeng, but was naturally rejected by the colons.

However, Lin Yaodong quickly came up with a solution from the local tyrants, and he won a total of 10 Commodore VIC 20 top-of-the-line computers with disk drives from the Prince Leader of Kuwait through the "goalkeeping game".

Originally, he wanted to build a computer room in Haigeng, but at this time, even Tsinghua University and Peking University were in urgent need of computers, how could he leave these gambling funds in Haigeng.

In the end, the colons confiscated nine units, leaving only one for Lin Yaodong to use for himself, which was a privilege that Wu Jie reluctantly gave after interceding.

Luda and Chen Haonan are interested in music, and they are willing to learn how to compose music and lyrics from Wu Jie.

However, Luda is interested in traditional Chinese musical instruments, he likes the guqin, guzheng, pipa, erhu, suona and other instruments, and he also doesn't like modern lyrics.

Chan is more interested in Western instruments, but he prefers Cantonese in lyrics because he doesn't speak Mandarin well.

So half a month before the departure of the Chinese team, in addition to the daily light training, everyone can always see the four geniuses together.

If Lin Yaodong wasn't there, he would have been found in the dormitory where he and Chen Haonan lived, and he would definitely be tinkering with a bunch of numbers and symbols in front of the computer that no one could even read.

#########

On June 21, the Chinese team came to Beijing, first participated in a special program recorded by CCTV, and then went to Beidaihe to meet with the bigwigs.

Two days later, the Chinese team finally stepped on the plane to Spain.

On the day of departure, their bus started from the hotel, there were traffic police and police cars along the way, and there was a steady stream of fans on the road who spontaneously came to see them off, many of them were members of schools and collective organizations, standing on both sides of the street to see off the Chinese team, from the bus it looked like two long snakes that could not be seen.

Wu Jie was flattered by such a scene, and the bus of the Kuwait team was also shocked by this grand scene of ten miles of send-off!

They have been training with the Chinese team, and the two teams will leave for Spain together.

They had never experienced such a spectacular spectacle.

There are almost no empty areas on the streets on both sides of the road, so isn't that at least hundreds of thousands of people coming to see them off?

Kuwaiti players are naturally very envious of this kind of love, but when they think of the Chinese team's record in the past two years, it seems that they can understand why they are so loved by the people.

On the last leg of the road at Beijing Capital Airport, Wu Jie even saw Qisheng and a few friends on the side of the road to see them off.

"Xiao Wu, you must score!"

"It doesn't matter if you win or not, kick out our backbone."

"Long live the Chinese team!"

"Long live China!"

“……”

Wu Jie heard the shouts of a group of future bigwigs, and he didn't know what to say at this moment, so he could only stretch out half of his body from the car window and squeeze out two tears to wave to them.

After the two buses entered the airport, only a few official media and CCTV were left who came to interview.

Wu Jie was naturally the focus of the interview, when faced with the question "What is the goal set by the Chinese team for this World Cup?" His answer was very succinct: "Our goal is simple, to show the world Chinese technology, show Asian style, and become the pride of the world." ”

Of course, this is an official cliché, but it sounds a little better.

China's Group D is undoubtedly the Group of Death, with England having a good record of late, France having one of the best midfielders in the world and Czechoslovakia winning Euro 1976.

Only Czechoslovakia is weaker here, and most of the members of their '76 golden generation are now over 30 years old, and they are in a period of inactivity, with too old and too young in the squad.

It is not that the Chinese team has no chance to beat Czechoslovakia, but it is indeed a little difficult to beat England and France.

The Football Association has set a goal: to beat Czechoslovakia with all its might, and then draw with England and France.

This is also a more pragmatic goal, it is too early to say that the group qualification is too early, and it is easy to get the egg if the goal is set too high.

In terms of domestic public opinion, including fans, there are no too harsh expectations, basically scoring a goal and winning a victory, which is a satisfactory answer.

If you can make it out of the group, of course, it will be the best.

But this goal will not be forced, after all, this is China's first time playing in the World Cup.

Eighteen hours later, the international flight, which carried all the hopes of Asian football, landed in Paris, France.

Personnel from the Chinese Embassy in Paris were already waiting at the airport, as well as many European journalists who had heard the news.

This Chinese team is now a team that has attracted much attention, especially after the end of the Champions League, many European media believe that the Chinese team has at least the strength of the third pot.

Especially with the individual ability of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, they may have a chance to beat the team in Pot 2.

France happens to be in the same group as the Chinese team, and at this moment, countless French media want to see how the spirit of the Chinese team is?

However, this look, the name of the "Chinese male model team" spread.

Without it, this time the Chinese team traveled, and Wu Jie sponsored each person with a new Chinese standing collar and an embroidered Tang costume.

Wu Jie has now found relevant talents to manage his clothing brand in Hong Kong, and this Chinese stand-up collar and this embroidered Tang costume are used as stepping stones to open the market for Uniqlo in the future.

However, he found a lot of information from the system database, and finally selected these two models from a large number of styles forty years later.

The design of these two Chinese clothes was made in 1982, which was actually enough to set off a new trend around the world.

The European media wanted to photograph the backward and poor side of the Chinese players, and this moment was naturally completely unsuccessful.

These two Chinese garments, the Chinese stand-up collar is worn on formal occasions and the embroidered Tang costume is worn on informal occasions, which can cover most of the social sphere.

In this World Cup, Wu Jie plans to use this stage to promote China's traditional fashion and his brand to the world.

Of course, he knew that this kind of Chinese clothing borrowed some elements from Western styles, including modern Japanese clothing.

But the strongest thing about Chinese culture is tolerance.

Even if these clothes borrow other elements, they can still make you feel the strong Chinese style at a glance, and the elements of Western and Japanese styles are not easy to detect, so ask you if you are panicking?

Three hours later, the flight from Paris to Bilbao also took off, and they were able to land in Spain in an hour.

The first round of Group D is played in the provinces of Valladolid and Vizcay, home of La Liga teams Bilbao and Valladolid.

Both of these stadiums are small stadiums that can only accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people, at least for a stage like the World Cup, which is definitely not a big stadium.

But this World Cup has 6 groups, 24 teams, and Spain currently has three stadiums above four stars, of course, it can't be divided.

If China want to play in stadiums like the Bernabeu and Camp Nou, they will have to qualify for the first round of the group!
