Chapter 388: Look at your virtue, it doesn't look like you can win
Wu Jie has such great ambitions, in addition to the fact that he should be able to enhance his ability, it is also related to the tasks of the system.
In the past two years, the sense of existence of the system has decreased a lot, which is related to his appetite, and now the reward of one or two hundred thousand points has long been ignored by him, even if the task of thirty or fifty thousand points is rewarded, it can only be regarded as trivial.
But the World Cup is different, even if it is a staged task, the rewards often reach six figures.
If the Chinese team can win the championship and he can get the Golden Boot again, the rewards for the entire World Cup period will hopefully break through seven figures.
Now he has received a new task, which is actually the task of permanently keeping the "Hercules Cup".
This is an ultra-long-term mission that will most likely not be completed until he retires.
But as long as he can complete it, the reward he gets is enough to give him a golden start in the next life.
On the French side, coach Henri Michel did not ban his players from the media before the game, which is rarely done by any coach in this era.
This made a lot of evil information released by Wu Jie before the game, almost all of which reached the ears of the "Blue Coats", especially Platini.
French football was at its peak in the 80s, having won the European Championship just two years ago.
Although the original Azzurri failed to win the World Cup, they won a World Cup championship, a World Cup third place, and a European Championship in the 80s.
The results of this tournament are no worse than those of West Germany and Italy in Europe, after all, the World Cup winner needs some luck in addition to strength.
But France in this plane has already lost one World Cup runner-up, and if it is eliminated by the Chinese team today, another third place will disappear.
The pressure on coach Michel is not too great, because his master, the "godfather in blue" Hidalgo, overturned the Chinese team in the last World Cup.
If Hidalgo hadn't led the team to win the European Championship before retiring, his name as a godfather would have become air.
Michelle is not under much pressure, just because even Hidalgo suffered a miserable defeat on the Chinese team, so he, the apprentice who just took over, overturned on the Chinese team, and is naturally easy to be forgiven by domestic public opinion.
But the problem is that although he is not under much pressure, he is facing more trouble than he was four years ago.
He was still working as a technical coach under Hidalgo at the time, and he knew all too well how the peak French team lost to China, which had just debuted.
The current blue team has not changed much in terms of personnel, and the overall strength will never be stronger than four years ago, but the Chinese team is obviously much stronger than four years ago.
In addition, what bothered Michel was that he had to find a way to deal with the Chinese team in just two days, and he thought it was impossible after thinking about it.
Even the more I researched, the more I found that there were too many unfamiliar things about this Chinese team.
"I think it's okay to play our own football, the Brazilians and the British just want to limit the Chinese too much, spend too much energy on that alien, and end up not even playing their own football well." There are also the Spaniards and Germans, who also want to limit Diego too much, and we don't need to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
As a member of the coaching staff, there is nothing wrong with Houllier's remarks in itself, but the Brazilians did not want to limit the Chinese team to hit the streets, they were too self-centered to lose.
The British were really scared to death by the Chinese team, and the two teams died in opposite directions.
This Houllier is not well-known now, but he will carry a lot of weight on the list of managers of the "Blue Coats" in the future.
At this time, coach Michel was naturally swept away three years later after leading the rebuilt Azzurri to fall in the qualifiers for the '90 World Cup.
This Houllier successfully ascended to the position, and then led Papan, Cantona, Ginola and many other superstars, leading a team known as the strongest France, and was actually beaten in the 94 World Cup qualifiers, creating a famous "defeat of the century".
This history can prove that the level of Michel and Houllier is very limited, and if the head coach and assistant coach are of this kind of quality, how can the French team defeat China under normal circumstances?
It is estimated that it is also because of the same smell, Michelle deeply understands Houllier's words, they really don't need to study the tactics of the Chinese team too much, and playing their best side is the right way.
This may sound like a no-brainer, but is it really?
Of course not!
When two teams are fighting, how can you play your best if you are not even familiar with the opponent and completely ignore each other?
Unless the neglected side is far inferior to you, that's fine.
But the strength of the Chinese team is obvious to all, except for West Germany, which is still holding on to the ball in the group stage, although the media of other countries do not want the Chinese team to continue, but admit that the strength of the Chinese team is very strong, which is another matter.
"The French are not weak, but they are not stronger than Brazil, and it can even be said that in most positions, they are a little worse than Brazil."
Wu Jie's words at the last pre-war meeting sounded rampant, but if you think about what he said in front of the media, you won't think that his words are arrogant.
"Platini left it to me and you just played like against Brazil. The boss is right, the French team is indeed slightly inferior to the Brazilians. ”
Chen Haonan is also of the same opinion, which is the conclusion he came to after playing against the French team in the dream space.
"Their two strikers are of average level, I think we can adjust the formation a little bit, and the overall increase is slightly 5 meters, which shouldn't be looking down on them."
Lin Yaodong's words were even more exaggerated, and he didn't take Stopira and the young Papan in his eyes at all.
The three big brothers unanimously looked down at the French, and the morale of the Chinese players naturally rose.
But don't think that doing so will make everyone make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, the ruler in Wu Jie's heart not only measured the French clearly, but even the state of his own people was not bad.
The current Chinese team has passed the period of secretly accumulating strength, on the contrary, the energy accumulated under the successive victories needs to be released, otherwise it will suffocate itself.
But the mental bonus alone is not enough, after defeating England, Wu Jie and the three played ten simulated matches with this French team in the dream space.
The result was not particularly satisfying, as the result of the ten games was 5 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws, and each game was played hard, whether won or lost.
However, the opponents in the dream space are all in a normal competitive state and psychological state.
The French team in reality does not know enough about them, and there are likely to be problems in the tactical arrangement, especially Platini, the core, who is so angry with Wu Jie that he loses sleep, and the blue team in reality must be much worse than the one simulated in the dream space.
At this time, the three of them pulled their teammates to explain the habits, strengths, and defects of the French players one by one, and the Chinese team immediately had another attribute of knowing themselves and knowing their opponents.
Wu Jie didn't believe that the real French team could still achieve results in the dream space under such circumstances.
Unless...... The referee really ...... Don't push your face!
This is the only X factor that Wu Jie is worried about, the referee in the dream space will never misjudge, even if the referee is adjusted to realistic mode, at most he will be deceived by his profound acting skills a few times, but he will never take the initiative to blow the black whistle.
The referee in reality is different, and the final four of the South Korean team can become the darkest page in football history.
If they also encounter such a dark environment, then it is impossible to say whether these advantages are enough.
Wu Jie knew that he had the advantage, but he still did everything he could, because he was worried about the worst situation, so he had to seize all the winning factors except the referee.
#######
On July 1, the second game of the semifinals of this World Cup is about to start, and many media have reported in advance that this semi-final match is the lowest "gold content" in history.
There is no need to elaborate on the specific content, in short, the words are full of sourness for the Chinese team to advance!
The French media were even more eager to describe the Chinese team as worthless, but the embarrassing thing was that most of these French reporters in Mexico looked worried in the afternoon.
The reason for this can be guessed by many neutral media, because compared to the Chinese players who are in good spirits when they set off, many French players have a pair of dark circles under their eyes and tired faces.
The performance in the afternoon warm-up was similar, the whole French team was in a lazy state, as if they were unwilling to move more, and there were not even many scenes of chatting, and the warm-up ended in only half an hour.
On the other hand, when the Chinese team warmed up, not only the mental outlook of the players was completely different, but also the warm-up content was more, and they could even be seen practicing corner kicks and free kick tactics openly, and finally ended the one-hour warm-up with a simulated penalty shootout.
This difference is naturally seen by the media, and whether there is a conspiracy for the Chinese team to be so high-profile has also become the focus of speculation by reporters.
After the warm-up in the afternoon, the players of the two teams returned to their respective hotels for a short rest, and after an early dinner in the evening, they finally boarded the bus to the "Aztec Stadium".
The problems on the French team's side can still be seen, Platini faced an interview before getting into the car, although the two dark circles under his eyes were better than in the afternoon, it seems that he went back to the hotel to take a nap.
But in terms of overall mental outlook, the French are still a lot worse than the Chinese team.
Platini tried hard to get his spirits up, but the malaise was palpable.
If you don't stand on a certain position, I believe that as long as you see the mental state of the players of these two teams, you will feel that the French look unlucky, and they don't look like they can win
This state was the same at the pre-match press conference, where the French players were a little depressed in the face of the interview, and they were reluctant to answer more, everything was very perfunctory.
The Chinese team can be described as "high-spirited", when everyone answers questions, not only their facial expressions are extremely rich, but their voices are also subdued, and this mental outlook is completely different.
"I put on brand new golden boots and a brand new sword, and happily went to the Nahum Gate Banquet!"
At the pre-match press conference, Wu Jie said something that the Western media could not understand in the face of the interview.
But what this means is understood by Chinese journalists on the scene, and even by many Asian journalists.
"It's destined to be a tough semi-final, after all, we don't have a home stadium and the French team is also a European giant, but when I see the aliens as your teammates, I don't know why I feel calm."
Ren Zhihui gave a rare excellent answer before the game, but this remark was more of the collective voice of the Chinese players, and even when asked the players of other teams, they would agree with this point of view, after all, who doesn't want to be teammates with aliens.
"Wu Sang, in a few hours, will you be the victor and come here again?"
This is the end of the pre-match press conference, a question from a Japanese female reporter with buckteeth, and the words are full of a strong flavor of rice rings.
"Don't just promise girls what you can't do," Wu Jie smiled, "but I'm already sure of being the winner."
This answer is somewhat improper, Wu Jie can see the Japanese female reporter's excited face slightly red, if only the teeth could look better.
The French media naturally thinks it's even worse, this bastard's state is so good that he starts to tease female reporters, but the Blue Coats seem to be collectively infected with the virus, which is really bad!
#######
At seven o'clock in the evening, fans of both sides began to enter early, and the two teams were about to warm up.
In the locker rooms of both sides, the "blue clothes" and "red clothes" are using their own methods to make the final mobilization.
"It's time to show the real technique!"
"With my hands, I will make your dreams come true!"
"Fight for a better tomorrow!"
I don't know what the situation is on the French team's side, but the way the Chinese team plays is very special, I saw the three bigwigs push the door out with a simple opening remark, and behind them is naturally the Red Coats who are holding their heads high and striding forward!
But this is indeed a bit too cupgy, and the appearances in "Football Player" are not so invisible.
After the CCTV crew filmed this scene, they also felt that if they took these back to play, the scene would be uncontrollable.
Of course, Wu Jie knows that this coin is a bit too advanced, but sometimes due to the currency nature, he has to pretend!
Besides, after the installation, the effect is also obvious.
Now, even if you don't need a card to improve your status, the state of the big guy is a climax.
This can be seen from the meeting between the two teams in the players' tunnel before the game, the Chinese players absolutely suppressed the French team who always wanted to raise their hands in terms of momentum.
When Mexico's official film team filmed the dynamics of the two teams before the game, they could also find that the Chinese team was significantly stronger.
In addition, the players of both teams were very cold today and had no intention of having a friendly exchange with each other before the game.
The Chinese players did a little better, they didn't even look to the side.
This also caused the players on both sides to not communicate before the game, and they didn't even say hello until they came out.
