Chapter 366: The Soviet Union That Shouldn't Be Despised
On June 13, in addition to the opening ceremony, there will be an opening match belonging to the hosts.
From this opening match, Chinese fans discovered the benefits of hosting the World Cup for the first time, first of all, they will not be placed in the group of death.
At this time, Mexico was not a first-tier team in terms of international rankings or international competition results in recent years, and even if it was placed in the second gear, it was very reluctant.
But because the organizers can be classified directly into Pot 1, this is equivalent to allowing Mexico to instantly avoid the five teams with the best results in international competitions in recent years.
If the World Cup is expanded to 32 teams in the future, the hosts will be able to avoid the top seven teams in the world in the group stage.
As a fan group that has never seen their own team leave the group of death, Chinese fans are indeed envious after seeing Mexico's Group C list at this moment.
Paraguay, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia in this group are basically the weakest teams in their respective grades, and counting the inevitable home advantage, the Mexicans will naturally have little problem qualifying in this group.
Wu Jie disagrees with this opinion, he knows that even if China hosts the World Cup, it will still be placed in the group of death, and nothing will change.
The reason is simple, who made you have no say in FIFA, including the AFC.
Even if you are the host, but people just don't give you face, and deliberately mess with you in your home, what can you do?
As long as China dares to do some routine maneuvers in the draw like previous hosts, it will immediately be exposed as a scandal.
Then, the public opinion of the whole world will come and condemn you, and the fans all over the world will insult you in unison!
This kind of double standard is not possible, but it will definitely appear, and it will be staged at any time.
But this is not to blame Chinese football itself, you can only blame you for being yellow-skinned, or a yellow-skinned person who wants to climb up and become a champion.
The essence of this place is no different from China's discrimination in all fields, you blame yourself for being useless, blame you for not wanting to be a slave, blame your population for being too large, blame your country for being too old, blame your history for being too old, blame you for being the boss for many years......
But the most blaprising thing is that you actually want to make a comeback?
In this world ruled by the West and whites, who are you who people don't rectify?
If they don't have mushrooms planted all over their homes, and they don't become endangered like Native Americans, they are already the best result after a large number of fierce people descended from the sky, and generations of people have come and gone, dedicating their lives.
Wu Jie watched the opening game with his teammates, but his thoughts obviously drifted a little far, but every time he was on this kind of stage, he always couldn't help but think of this, because he never regarded football as football.
This would even bring him up with the idea of whether to get a brainwashing card for Gallardo, and then give Gallardo a set of Fierce Men crash course to help him become the first herbal Fierce to get rid of the CIA.
Of course, Wu Jie knows that this Mexican godfather has only a few years left at the moment.
In fact, the real drug king is not these so-called godfathers, and it is not these locals who really control the South American pharmaceutical industry, but the CIA, the world's largest drug king, as well as the upper level of the US government and big capital.
These people will not let these godfathers grow up for too long, because that will put these people in danger of being out of their control, and controlling risk has always been what capital does best.
Wu Jie is very clear about the operation of the bald eagle, there are many godfathers like Gallardo in South American countries, they are like pawns in the melee of the warlords of the flower family, when the CIA uses them, it is natural that these people will do bad things and ugly things, and the CIA will help them get through various checkpoints and make all aspects of the circulation of goods smooth.
In addition to making money for the manipulators behind them, these godfathers can also keep these countries under the ravages of herbs for a long time.
Well, of course, the more turbulent your neighbors are, otherwise look at how uncomfortable the Soviet Union is.
Many people will think that small herbs, can there be such a big harm?
Hehe, as long as you think about the poisoning of opium in China back then, you will know that there is really nothing new under the sun.
But the life trajectories of these godfathers are similar, and basically no one has been able to shine for more than ten years.
They are often arrested suddenly, without warning, and unexpectedly at the most prosperous moments.
Even if someone wants to retire voluntarily, they will still be caught and convicted by the powerful CIA, or through organizations such as Interpol, and then confiscate most of the wealth they have accumulated over their lifetime.
But I just don't know why people who are so easy to catch can be in the limelight for so long?
Why hadn't they been arrested sooner?
In fact, these people don't know that they are just pawns!
So after being a godfather for many years, when the wealth and power are getting bigger and bigger, of course, at this time, I will try to get rid of the control.
This is human nature, and no one will be willing to be someone else's puppet, just like the bald eagle will not be naïve enough to think that the footpot chicken does not hate itself.
So as long as you have the idea of getting out of control and start to put it into action, it means that your glory has come to an end.
The CIA has indeed achieved the real bigwig method of "giving you everything and taking it away at any time".
Gallardo didn't have much to live for, and he should know what the end would be, so he sent his youngest son and daughter to him to play football.
This is to prevent the family from being liquidated by the enemy after losing power, after all, this kind of thing Gallardo himself has not done less.
Wu Jie hopes that Gallardo can stage a dog jumping over the wall in front of the CIA, trapped and fighting, and it is best to have some desperate madness for the CIA to taste, then he will definitely let those two children live comfortably in China.
At this time, Mexico on TV finally defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0, which was basically in a state of being pressed throughout the game, and it seems that Asian teams are still too hungry except for China.
China's match will be played tomorrow, which is also the first match of Group A, and will be played against the ultra-popular Chinese team and the unusually low-profile Soviet team.
This duel can be regarded as the focus of this match day, the strength of the Soviet Union still makes the world look sideways, even if the European and American media frantically smear and ridicule the hammer sickle gang leader, but the fear of the hammer and sickle has become more and more penetrating into the hearts of capitalists from all walks of life, including ordinary people.
At this moment, their fear of the hairy bear has increased instead of decreasing, because they are worried that the hairy bear will directly solve the internal problems that cannot be solved by transferring them to the outside world, and it is they who will suffer at that time.
Needless to say, China, as the de facto second leader of the former Hammer and Sickle Gang, even if they don't want to admit it, they also know that this is a ruthless character who fought in blood and fire.
The joint operation more than 30 years ago is still the experience that the entire capital camp is most reluctant to recall, so that there are very few film and television works about that war until now.
It's not that Americans don't want to shoot, but after all, as one of the two most powerful powers in the active service, they can't do the shameless act of inventing/tampering with history like a stick.
Now these two former comrades are facing each other, and one of them has become his own pawn? Of course, such a scene cannot be missed!
At this time, the camera turned to the hotel chartered by the Chinese team, and it can be seen that the players are not too nervous, although everyone is looking forward to the upcoming first game.
This is the performance of mature teams, most of these Chinese players have seen enough big scenes, the World Cup is a stage for them to be more eager to play, but they are no longer the shivering chicks when they appear, which is also the necessary temperament of a strong team.
The Soviet players are not far behind in this regard, this team is rarely reported by European and American media, but their main composition is also mostly in their prime, and the experience of the tournament is no worse than that of the Chinese team.
The mid and late eighties of the original plane coincided with the peak of this group of Soviet players, who almost won the European Championship two years later, and even this World Cup was eliminated because of injustice.
The Soviets can be said to have been hacked out by the black whistle, after all, two single knives that were not offside were blown out in a game, and the Chinese team was also about to kneel.
So this is a real power-down conversation, and even American TV stations have chosen to broadcast the battle between the favorites.
Of course, American football fans are angry and dissatisfied, and they still can't accept that the Soviets and Chinese can play the World Cup, but their noble free men can only watch the excitement from the side, is it more difficult to play football than to land people on the moon?
This one...... It seems like...... It's really ......
#######
On June 14, at 10 a.m. local time in Mexico and 11 p.m. Beijing time.
The time difference in this match was very friendly to China, the Soviet Union and Mexico, but the venue was not so satisfactory, it was a match played at the "Jalisco Stadium" in Guadalajara.
"This stadium is really not as good as the ones we have built!"
Lin Yaodong observed the stadium, which can only accommodate less than 50,000 people, and naturally compared several new stadiums under construction in China, and came to the conclusion that if even Mexico can host the World Cup, then they will have no problem.
Wu Jie has no opinion on this, and now domestic urban construction is still in its infancy, even in developing countries, it is backward.
But he's so confident that in less than a decade, they'll be able to build at least better than Mexico.
As for the golf course, thanks to several of their apprentices, the earliest golf course jointly built with Kuwait has been basically completed, and the other four golf courses under construction are also progressing very quickly, and there will be at least one more modern golf course that can accommodate more than 70,000 people every year in China in the future.
If you include the original stadiums, they could have 10 stadiums with a capacity of more than 60,000 people in 1990, half of which were newly built, which is certainly enough to host the World Cup.
In fact, they have already qualified for the 1988 Asian Cup, including the 1990 Asian Games.
And the sports department means that they want to bid for the 1994 World Cup with all their might.
This is not unreliable, because their opponent is the sand sculpture United States that can't even qualify for the World Cup, so even the Football Association is full of confidence in this, and even dares to mention it openly showing a look of contempt, and then saying in a mocking tone: American football! Hehe!
Of course, their competitors are not only the United States, but the Soviets also hope to host the 1994 World Cup.
Wu Jie felt that if the Soviet Union still existed, China would have the best chance of succeeding, and this was the core of China's current strategy, that is, to survive and develop in the cracks.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV are not as flustered as Wu Jie's mind, including neutral fans from various countries, and everyone is most interested in the starting lineup of the Chinese team in addition to the game itself.
They also want to know what kind of style the Chinese team will play?
All in one?
A variant of chain defense?
The triangular attack of the Dutch stealing divisions?
…………
At this time, the Soviets had reason to be jealous, because although this battle was in high demand, most of the focus was on the Chinese team.
Their dignified hammer and sickle gang leader will always be ignored?
But this can't be helped, who makes the Chinese team have three top five stars in the world, and one of them is still the world's first person without suspense.
It's the star set-up that makes this game so much attention, but the Soviets also praise the desire to fight, and they are very eager to beat the Chinese team, so that they can not only show the evil spirit of a traitor, but also prove their ability to the world.
The Chinese team also has the mentality of "big brother", especially whether the rabbits in the two northern provinces hate the foot pot chicken more, or the big brother who took away their access to the sea, I am afraid that more people will choose the latter.
Before the game, the northern players in the team also took the initiative to play, and the coaching staff also tended to send more northern players to start against the Soviet Union, not only because they had a stronger desire to fight, but also slightly better than their southern players in terms of physical fitness.
But the embarrassing thing is that now the northern players do not only have bodies but no skills, and southern players do not only have skills but no bodies.
This kind of boundary is no longer clear in the domestic football world, so after the starters came out, everyone found that it was still a pot of stew in the southeast and northwest.
The Chinese team started -
Frontcourt: Liu Haiguang (84)
Midfielders: Ren Zhihui (86), Wu Jie (99), Zhen Aiguo (84), Chen Haonan (98), Gu Guangming (85).
Backcourt: Jiang Wei (82), Jia Xiuquan (84), Cui Yonghua (83), Li Junwei (85).
Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong (98).
The Chinese team's starting set is actually familiar to many fans outside China.
But on the other hand, the starting line-up of the Soviets was extremely unfamiliar to everyone, including European fans, who could only name a few of them, and most of them were not impressed.
The Soviet team started -
Front: Belanov (93), Zavalov (89)
Midfielders: Litovchenko (86), Protasov (88), Alennikov (87), Mikhailchenko (90).
Backfield: Surak Velidze (85), Bezsonov (91), Kuznetsov (89), Vishnevsky (87).
Goalkeeper: Dasayev (91).
The reason why the Chinese team attaches importance to the Soviet Union is that the other side has a bad reputation, but in fact it is not far behind West Germany, and even the substitutes have several lineups of more than 85 players.
The spinach groups of various countries will list them as one of the favorites to win the championship, which is definitely a reflection of professionalism.
Although the Chinese team has three gods that are difficult to look at, the overall strength is not dominant, and it is even possible that he and Chen Haonan will blow up the opposing players in the middle, but the rest of their own positions have also been broken by the Soviets, and finally it depends on Lin Yaodong's classic old game.
