Wu Jie's so-called no shame means that there is no shame in crying after being eliminated.

After so many World Cups, I don't know how many superstars have shed tears on the pitch here, and it can even be said that most of the stars have had this sad experience.

But as the top team ranked 10th in the world, how can France not be ashamed of the last round of the World Cup?

"Wu, you personally sent the French away today, do you have anything to say to them about this?"

Isabella started to get things done again, completely forgetting that England also had a chance of elimination.

"Their performance today deserves a victory, but the strong don't necessarily win, and the one who wins must be the strong."

Wu Jie's answer gave the French face at the same time, he also praised himself fiercely.

The French media didn't react much, they thought that Wu Jie would continue to sprinkle salt after the victory, which would be considered to save face.

"The Chinese team successfully entered the second round of the group stage in the first World Cup for the first time, has this exceeded the goal set by your country before the competition? What are your goals for the next phase, can you tell us a little bit about them? ”

This is a question from a Japanese journalist, a country that has thoroughly worshiped China in the field of football, and even South Korea cannot afford to continue to challenge.

"The first question, I don't know if you noticed our slogan, that is our goal - life is endless, and the charge is not stopped! Advance! Advance! Advance! ”

"The second question, no matter what stage it is, we all have one belief: persistence will win, victory still needs to work, and efforts are still continuing."

Wu Jie's nesting doll made the Japanese reporter bow hard, which really sounds like blood boiling!

"Wu Jie, you have scored five goals and are currently far ahead of the scorer list, have you set yourself goals in this regard?"

This is a question from a Chinese reporter, and now China is looking forward to a World Cup golden boot.

"Of course, we need victory, and we need such honor!"

Wu Jie naturally will not deal with this issue in a low-key manner, the "Golden Boot" is one of his two major goals in this World Cup, because it represents a huge reward!

"Wu, do you know that the Chinese team's world ranking has advanced by two places today?"

The reporter of the German "Kicker" magazine looked at Wu Jie with mixed feelings, such a leader is really what every country dreams of, and this year's German team lacks such a real leader.

The Chinese team, under the leadership of Wu Jie, unexpectedly advanced.

West Germany's form is very bad, and it is only with a final win over Austria that they can qualify, but who can say that they will win the World Cup?

Austria is not a soft persimmon, they are ranked first in Group B, the record is two consecutive wins, and the qualifying situation is much better than the German team.

Wu Jie had an irrepressible smile on his face when he heard this, FIFA rankings are an honor for every national team, just like the ladder points decades later.

He happens to be a slave, so he has always paid special attention to this ranking.

"Of course we know, we were lucky enough to finish in the top 40 tonight, but that's far from the end!"

Wu Jie received a system prompt after the game, and the Chinese team's international ranking rose to 39th after this game.

For him, this ranking is not only a symbol of honor, but also closely related to income.

The system will give a very high and consistent reward for this ranking, as long as he can enter the top 32 in the international ranking, he can earn 100 Olympic Coins every day; The top 16 have 200 points per day.

For the top 10 places, the rewards for each position are calculated separately, the tenth place is 500 points per day, and for each subsequent place, the rewards are increased by 100 points for each additional place.

That is to say, if you rank first, you will be able to earn 1,400 Olympic coins a day, which is a huge income of 500,000 points in a year.

So as long as it can help the Chinese team to enter the top 10, it can form a virtuous circle, and there is no longer a need to subsidize football from other sports.

But this task is not easy to achieve, and for now, they beat England and France in the top 10 in succession, and forced Czechoslovakia to draw in the top 20, and finally entered the top 40.

There are many reasons for this, the main one being that there are too many absentees.

The current FIFA recounts the points every eight years, and the last time it was recounted was in 1977, and the Chinese team only rejoined FIFA in 1979, and it was not until he was born that he began to gain a large number of points, so it has only risen to 39th place now.

At this time, many people may ask, what are FIFA's points rules?

It's hard to say, because FIFA has been changing the rules, and the rules of this era are not far from decades later.

The biggest difference is the recounting, which in the 21st century would be recounted every four years, and now it will be recounted every eight years.

The current formula for calculating points for each match is: match win (2 draws, 1 loss, 0), ×match coefficient (2 continental qualifiers, 3 continental championships, 5 World Cup), × opponent coefficient (200 minus the opponent's ranking, then divided by 100), × regional coefficient (1 in South America and Europe, 0.9 in Africa and North and Central America, and 0.85 in Asia and Oceania), all of which are multiplied to get points for each game.

In this era, because the "goals scored" and "goals conceded" are not counted, and the score for winning a game is only 2 points, everyone is more inclined to play conservative tactics in tournaments.

The Chinese team played against France in this game, and the number of points obtained can be calculated using this formula - 2×5×1.9×1, and the final score is 19 points.

The French team was tragic, according to the calculation formula: 0×5×1.59×0.85, and the final score can only be 0 no matter how you calculate it.

But even if the French team wins the game, they will actually only get 13.5 points, because the Chinese team has a low ranking and regional coefficient.

In the group stage of this World Cup, the Chinese team won two and drew one, two opponents were the top ten in the world, and one was the top 20, and the three games skyrocketed by nearly 50 points, directly rising from 48th to 39th, and there were several teams in front of them whose points were not much higher than them.

This means that as long as the Chinese team wins or draws one or two more games in the future, it is likely to use this World Cup to impact the top 32 rankings.

At this time, many people are going to ask again, what is the so-called 8-year recalculation?

This is also simple, this recalculation is not to re-clear, but to re-separate the points of the first eight years to calculate, the formula is: the points of the first two years are counted as 25%, the points of three to four years are counted as 50%, the points of five to six years are counted as 75%, and the points of the last two years are counted as 100%.

As a simple example, if the points of the Chinese team in these four stages are all 100 points, then the initial points after recalculation are: (100×25%) + (100×50%) + (100×75%) + (100×100%) = 250 points.

Now the Chinese team has won successive victories and still failed to enter the top 32, which is due to this inheritance of points.

The Chinese football team withdrew from the Fédération de Football Association in 1958 and only rejoined in 1979, which means that they not only started two years later than others in the latest ranking cycle, but also did not have any inheritance points, and it is not easy to enter the top 40 now.

Another benefit of this ranking is that when there are multiple top-ranked teams on a continent, the number of places in each World Cup will increase accordingly.

If the Chinese team can enter the top ten, then the number of places in each World Cup in the Asian region is likely to be half more.

After the Chinese team returned to the hotel, they naturally held a grand celebration banquet and invited many supporters, such as the Huo family, the Rong family, and the Guo family (sugar king) in Hong Kong, the Ma family in Macau, and the Chen family in Singapore.

These families have long sent their descendants to follow them, and they are among the thousands of supporters in each game.

Of course, if you only look at whether you donate money, then many families, such as the Li family in Hong Kong and the He family in Macau, have also donated a lot of money to China's three major balls in the past year.

But is donating money patriotic?

Wu Jie didn't care about this, why did you go when we didn't play yet?

What is patriotism?

When you are in dire need of help, he uses the cost of risks far outweigh the benefits to help you, this is a patriotic businessman.

I'm getting better, you come to donate money to help again, no matter how big the number is at that time, I will also treat you as profitable, this is a business at most, how can I get your affection?

The next day, the Chinese players collectively watched the match between England and Czechoslovakia in front of the TV.

But in reality, this match has nothing to do with them, because the second stage of the group stage has to be redrawn, and the teams in the same group will not meet again.

That means that no matter who qualifies from these two teams, neither side will meet again before the semi-finals.

In addition, there is no difference between the first place in the group and the second place in the group.

The second stage of the group stage is divided into four groups of three teams each.

The rules of this draw are that the first four of the six first-round groups will be drawn first, then the second-place finishers of the six first-round groups will be drawn for four, and finally the remaining four teams will be randomly placed in the four groups.

Then it is obvious that no matter how you divide it, there will be two groups that will become the death group.

"Believe it or not, whether we are the first in the group or the second in the group, we will definitely be assigned to the death group in the end."

After Lin Yaodong was scored by Czechoslovakia in the first ten minutes of England's game, he said something that many players couldn't understand.

Wu Jie smiled, of course he knew that there was no need to doubt this.

If the Chinese team is not divided into the group of death, it means that their strength is vulnerable, otherwise they will definitely take the most thorny route.

The English players on TV will have panicked, and Czechoslovakia, after taking the lead, actually came up with the Chinese team's shrinking tactics to deal with them.

Wu Jie watched the first half and knew that England was going to GG, because Czechoslovakia's defense was not worse than them in tacit understanding, but in terms of defensive ability and experience, they were much higher than the Chinese players.

In the second half, the English, under the onslaught, were accidentally scored by Czechoslovakia through a counterattack.

This is good, Czechoslovakia, which leads by two goals, once again learns from the Chinese team to defend on all fronts.

In the end, England could only chase the score to 1:2 before the final game, which meant that they were eliminated in the first round of the group stage on the heels of their French friends!!

But it wasn't the Czechoslovak team that would be happiest, the French team had already knelt down in celebration in the hotel lobby, and even had the urge to buy the English a ticket home.

Platini also breathed a sigh of relief, this is a cushion, the Englishman is really a good teammate!
