Chapter 319: It's a contradiction
The match between Arsenal and Liverpool naturally attracted the attention of the whole world.
Fans in Europe except the United Kingdom have the idea of watching two jokes at a time after Wu Jie comes to League One.
If Wu Jie fails in League One, then they will be able to laugh at two targets at once.
Asian fans are also full of longing for the unknown, Wu Jie is now the representative of all yellow people, and his glory can be brought into himself by all yellow-skinned people.
The British hope that Wu Jie can succeed in League One, but there are also many contradictory emotions here, and the factors that form them are also complex.
One of the keys to the fact that the British, who have always been arrogant, have expressed a certain degree of welcome to Wu Jie is that Wu Jie has the ability to single-handedly increase the attention of the British League One in the world.
These attention levels are directly related to money, and considering that no one will not go with money, even the British media did not do much about Wu Jie.
But the paradox of the British is that they only want to use Wu Jie's global influence to promote, but they don't want him to kill all sides in League One.
But this is a paradox, if Wu Jie can't kill all sides in League One, then how can he attract the attention of fans all over the world, especially to open up the Asian market?
This kind of contradiction is also the norm in the West in the future, they don't believe in win-win in their bones, but the reality makes them passively accept, so they can always see a series of ridiculous farces and incompetent rage!
Isabella was not very happy before the game, but it had nothing to do with Wu Jie, but after she learned about today's game, even the back row standing tickets were fired several times higher by scalpers, and then when she thought of the shabby Highbury Stadium, it was as if she saw hundreds of thousands of pounds flying away in vain every game.
In the summer, she instructed the team to remove all the seats in the North Stand and change them to standing tickets, which would increase the attendance at Highbury to 45,000.
But of course, there are safety risks in doing so, but don't expect capitalists to make less money because of a little hidden danger before they die.
Isabella even felt that this expansion was not enough, and she thought that she would remove all the seats in the South Stand during the winter break, and then increase the ticket price of the East and West Grandstand by 30%, and then increase it by 20%.
Not only can attendance soar to 50,000 in one fell swoop, but it will also earn at least £350,000 more per game, which is not a small amount in a season.
Wu Jie naturally supports Isabella's decision, anyway, even if there is a stampede in the future, it will be an Englishman, but the money earned is his son's!
Now the cow girl has not won the bid for the time being, but it is a matter of time before the two of them make more milk powder money for their future son, is this too much?
"Ding, new message ......"
"The dying target has been found, at a distance of 8,203 kilometers, and the system is scanning...... If you meet the set requirements, will you confirm the resurrection? ”
"Ding, new message ......"
"The dying target has been found, at a distance of 8,203 kilometers, and the system is scanning...... If you meet the set requirements, will you confirm the resurrection? ”
At seven o'clock in the evening, half an hour before the pre-game press conference.
Wu Jie was working with the team's press director, the club's spokesperson, and his own agent team to confirm what questions had been scheduled and which media outlets to watch out for, when a familiar system prompt sounded.
But to his surprise this time, the chime rang twice in a row.
Wu Jie clicked on the confirmation first, and then hurriedly found an excuse to go to the bathroom, ready to see what kind of new partner was in the field this time, why did it ring twice in a row?
"Henan, Zhengzhou?"
Wu Jie found a private room to close the door, and the first thing he saw after clicking on the prompt was the location, and his new partner was from the Henan provincial capital this time.
Looking at the location of the incident again, he knew why it rang twice in a row.
These two unlucky guys, one is called Zhao Haidong and the other is Gong Xiaoya, they are actually sports students.
But their sports performance is not very good, and they are very good at fighting, and they are typical delinquent teenagers.
The state began to crack down hard last year, but just after a number of people were killed, it was not long before there were signs of recurrence of law and order in various places.
Wu Jie can't do anything about this kind of thing, and it's not something he can worry about.
He learned from the information given by the system that the two were in the same sports school, but the school's reputation was not good.
A year ago, this school was arrested a lot, but it has only begun to resurge in the past year.
Zhao Haidong and Gong Xiaoya are not the initiators of this brawl, they were retaliated against for bullying a few days ago, one was stabbed in the vital point, and the other was stabbed in the neck.
But when the police arrived, of course, their injuries were not so serious, one of them was stabbed twice in the body, but the wounds were not deep; One turned into a cut in the neck, but did not hurt the artery.
As for the wounders, when they knew that the attack was serious, they didn't even dare to check the injuries and ran away, after all, they killed a lot of people last year, and they also knew that if they were killed, they would definitely shoot if they were caught.
The group of pig friends and dog friends of the two were beaten and scattered as soon as they came up, and no one came back to see if they were dead?
After Wu Jie saw that the resurrection of these two people would not cause others to be confused, he checked their details.
This Zhao Haidong was born in 1968, and he actually practiced football at the beginning, and changed to basketball two years ago.
But his talent in these two events is not very good, but his physical fitness is good, and his explosiveness and speed are excellent, which makes him still a star player in the city's junior competitions, so they are always fighting, and the school still hasn't expelled them.
There is no need to think about this, Wu Jie immediately decided to let him change to track and field.
But then again, this should be the job of the coaches of the sports school, who are the ones who should be responsible for discovering the talents of students.
Zhao Haidong still has two and a half stars in football, but after changing to basketball, his physical talent has dropped to two stars, and when Wu Jie changed his major to track and field, his physical talent has suddenly risen to three and a half stars, which is enough to be the king in Asia.
So it can be seen that the level of this sports school is really not very good, and no one has asked him to change to a more suitable project.
This can also be seen that the grassroots coaches in domestic sports are not only not of good standards, but also lack sufficient sense of responsibility.
This kind of guidance on the direction of students, does not need any Bole vision at all, nor does it need much professional ability, as long as you spend more thought, pay more attention to the student's strengths, take these things to heart, do your own work, and basically dig out the areas that students are best at.
Therefore, this problem is very serious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mistake for people's children.
Wu Jie didn't dare to imagine how many geniuses there were in the country, and it was because of this lazy government and inaction that he was buried.
Most of those sports stars in the United States have the experience of changing projects.
This is because they are still young, and it is difficult to find out exactly what they are best suited for, and at this time, it is up to the coaches in the school to observe them for a long time and then dig them out.
Otherwise, if Jordan went to practice track and field and long jump, he wouldn't even be able to qualify for the Olympics.
Wu Jie shook his head when he thought of this, this kind of thing is not easy to solve, because the aspects involved are too wide, and it will take at least one or even two generations of efforts to solve it.
What he can do is to build the superstructure with all his might, carry out top-down reforms through this generation of tools and excavated geniuses, and then wait for the economy to improve, and wait for a new generation of more qualified Chinese people to grow.
But if the upper beams are not correct at that time, the middle level is the original group of people who are messing around, and the new generation will still be suppressed and even assimilated.
So he has to seize the time to occupy a high position, use the idol effect to accelerate the growth of the new generation, and the most important thing is to make those bastards unable to rise to the middle level.
Wu Jie sighed and looked at another delinquent teenager.
This little bastard named Gong Xiaoya is one year younger than Zhao Haidong in age, and he practices triple jump and high jump.
This person has a three-star talent in the "triple jump" and a two-and-a-half-star talent in the "high jump".
"It just so happens that practicing the long jump does not affect the practice of track and field, especially the 110-meter hurdles."
Wu Jie immediately changed the main event for Gong Xiaoya, in fact, it is the norm for sprinters to participate in the "long jump", and there are indeed examples of winning the Olympic "110-meter hurdles" and "long jump" championships at the same time.
But after thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Haidong was more suitable for the "long jump" as the second event, and Gong Xiaoya could focus on the 110-meter hurdles while taking the "triple jump" as a secondary event.
This is not scientific enough, if the "long jump" is very suitable for sprinting events, including the 110-meter hurdles, the "triple jump" is somewhat in conflict with the requirements required for sprinting.
In the history of world sports, there have been several times when an athlete has won gold medals in both sprint and long jump, but there have never been examples of athletes winning gold medals in both sprint and triple jump.
But on the other hand, isn't history made by people?
If there wasn't the first person to win gold in both the sprint and the long jump, would this have been thought impossible to happen?
Wu Jie has memories of the next forty years, and he knows that reality is often more exaggerated than movies.
Therefore, winning the gold medal in the "110-meter hurdles" and "triple jump" at the same time is not YY at all.
If you don't believe me, tell people now that the speed limit of human beings can break through 100 meters in 9.5 seconds in 50 years, and it is guaranteed that there will be a "dreaming" response.
In fact, when it comes to the 100-meter record, Wu Jie thinks there is a very interesting thing, that is, the first two Olympic Games, where there was a boycott, the results of the sprint event have declined as a whole compared with the 70s.
This can be seen from the history of the development of the 100-meter record, the first human breakthrough in the 100-meter event to less than 10 seconds occurred in 1968.
In the 70s, there were several times when the runner ran under 10 seconds, but since 1980, there have been two consecutive Olympic Games with a time of running under 10 seconds, which is completely contrary to the historical trajectory.
But the most interesting thing is that at the Seoul Olympics, the results of athletes from all over the world suddenly took a big leap, and it seemed that if they couldn't run within 10 seconds, they were not qualified to be called world famous athletes.
But the problem is that most of the players who broke through to less than 10 seconds, they are all over 25 years old, and they have participated in the competition in previous years during their peak, so their physical condition must be better, why can't they break through to less than 10 seconds?
This is really unscientific, everyone knows that the peak period of sprinting is very short, usually 21-25 years old is the golden age of sprinters, and it is generally at this age to create personal bests.
Of course, some well-maintained players can maintain their peak form for a year or two after the age of 25, but don't expect to break their own record again after the age of 25, which is simply unscientific.
However, in the next Olympics, there will be a lot of such unscientific things -
A large number of athletes who did not achieve much in their peak, but they all set personal bests at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, and even broke the world record, and suddenly let the 100-meter results that had been stagnant for 20 years come to an instant ***, and the details of this can only be judged by people themselves.
Wu Jie felt this, and directly gave two five-star physical talents to these two people.
He can't give it if he doesn't give it, otherwise if these two people are 19 and 20 years old to fight against a bunch of supernatural players who violate the laws of nature, there will definitely be no hope of winning gold at all.
But even if they have the body of a five-star monster, can they defeat a group of players at the age of 19 and 20, Wu Jie still feels that Zhao Haidong's hope is not very big, it would be good for him to hit a medal, but Gong Xiaoya's 110-meter hurdles pay more attention to technology, and he has the possibility of completing the rebellion with skill.
However, he is not so demanding on Zhao Haidong's 100 meters and 200 meters, as long as the next Olympics can make Chinese break 10 seconds in the 100-meter event and 20 seconds in the 200-meter event, he will not force the championship at the Seoul Olympics.
These two sports students who will soon change their minds and use all their talents on the right path naturally make Wu Jie's mood very good.
So at the pre-match press conference, he was more tolerant of the British media, and he didn't mean to go-for-tat, and all the traps and difficulties were solved by him one by one with Tai Chi techniques.
This is not necessarily the attitude that the British media wants to see, but they hope that Wu Jie will say more aggressive answers, so that they can have something to hype.
However, when Wu Jie was in a good mood, he obviously didn't have such a high offensive type.
In fact, Wu Jie decided not to get into a dispute with the media when he decided to come to the UK, he came here mainly to prevent Germany from staining his Olympic points with his honor.
Tonight is his debut, but the first goal is also to brush the data, although the honour is also one of his goals in League One, but the priority is not as important as the data.
Now he is only interested in the World Cup in football, and secondly, it is not the Europa League, but more focused on the national team, as well as the development of the domestic league.
The plan he arranged for himself was to spend three or four years in the League One to brush up a personal data of the past and the present, and win some titles by the way.
But what I really care about is the World Cup in two years' time, as well as the development of the domestic league.
If all goes well, he will leave League One, play in Italy or Spain for three or four years, and then return to China during his prime, use the last few years to push the Chinese Super League hard, and completely become the godfather of Chinese football!
However, before the start of the game, Wu Jie still made his debut in front of these new teammates who had not yet practiced together, and gave a Hollywood-style speech that mentioned "freedom" at least three times.
It's certainly not his style, it's the speech that the team behind the scenes has written for him a long time ago!
But Wu Jie's speech style, which never reads drafts, is extraordinarily convincing, and even the Western media also think that Wu Jie's public speeches appear sincere every time, with a particularly attractive magic.
Arsenal's players have long admired and admired him, and this speech has become even more supportive, even if it is a premise that he doesn't know how to cooperate with Wu Jie.
This game is actually very painful, head coach George Graham, including the coaching staff, believes that Wu Jie is not suitable to play immediately, and at least let him train with the team for half a month.
Now it is a big question whether he can remember all the names of his teammates and what positions his teammates played.
But the team will not let Wu Jie watch the excitement on the sidelines, and Arsenal fans will not be willing to wait half a month to see Wu Jie play, so the advice of the coaching staff was directly ignored.
Of course, if Wu Jie really doesn't perform well and the team loses, then the coaching staff must be fully responsible, and George Graham, the head coach, will also take the blame, in short, it must have nothing to do with Wu Jie.
This made George Graham a little sleepless before the game, and he knew very well that the fighting power of this team after the big change was far from being realized on paper, and in fact it may be down from last season, because everyone is still in the run-in period.
Liverpool is the current hegemon of League One, and even if Arsenal plays at home, they don't have much chance under normal circumstances, so it's good to fight for a draw.
So the tactics he developed were defensive counterattacks, and defense was indeed his housekeeping skill.
Wu Jie naturally has no objection to Graham's arrangement, Arsenal's strategy today should be based on defense, and then see if he can use his personal ability to sneak attack successfully, which is the only key to victory.
Liverpool's side is also very interesting, they originally wanted to say two cruel words before the game, hit Wu Jie's debut, and get his mentality.
But when a group of people talk to their mouths, they find it embarrassing to say anything.
In the past four seasons, Wu Jie has played a total of 9 games with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, with a record of winning all 9 games, and he has scored 20 goals alone.
If they say cruel things to such a person who has not only never been defeated, but also can press themselves to the ground and rub them every time, they will only make themselves a laughing stock no matter how they think!
Therefore, it is very rare for both teams not to say anything cruel before the game, and these will be left after winning the game.
By 7:30 p.m., it had completely darkened in London, and Highbury Stadium had already flooded with nearly 50,000 spectators.
This number far exceeds the original capacity of 39,000 people at Highbury Field, so as long as the camera is given to the audience, it will take a dense picture that can easily make people with dense phobia nauseous.
But in the VIP box, which is spacious enough for multiplayer sports, these fans who seem to be in an anthill are like pounds in Isabella's eyes, and it would be nice if she could have a stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people.
After the players of both teams played, this nationally broadcast highlight battle undoubtedly created a mythical rating in the UK.
At least three million British Isles families were tuning in to watch the game at this moment, and the number of spectators was conservatively estimated at more than 10 million, taking into account the British tradition of watching football in pubs.
If zoomed in to all of Europe, then the ratings of this game even have a bit of the flavor of the Champions League final, tens of millions of fans want to see Wu Jie's debut in the UK, including a large number of German viewers also want to see Wu Jie's performance, although most Germans are very conflicted, they want Wu Jie to perform better than in the Bundesliga, in order to prove that the Bundesliga is better than the English League, but there are also many people who don't want to see Wu Jie so proud, especially Bayern fans.
