On December 21, the group stage of the Asian Region World Preliminary Championship officially started!

In the first game of the Chinese team against the Hong Kong team, the strength of the two sides was not much different a year ago, but now the gap has been widened.

At the pre-match press conference, Wu Jie could clearly feel the hostility of the Hong Kong media.

This is not surprising, at the beginning of the Asian Cup, reporters from Hong Kong have always been yin and yang, asking questions with thorns, or setting traps for him to step on.

He didn't give these people face at that time, and after these Hong Kong reporters went back, it was not surprising that they scribbled in a way that was almost rumor-mongering, and there was no professional ethics at all, which won the true biography of the British media.

It's the same today, when a Hong Kong reporter asked a question, he deliberately asked in a disgusting tone: "When will Chinese football establish a real league?" ”

Wu Jie replied: "We have our own league, although it is not perfect, but we have already cultivated our players. As the league becomes more perfect in the future, we will develop more excellent players. ”

Another Hong Kong reporter asked: "When do you think Chinese football will have the strength of English football?" ”

Wu Jie sneered and replied, "We will answer this question with your performance on the field, you can open your eyes and watch slowly!" ”

These Hong Kong reporters didn't make a big news, and of course they wouldn't give up, and one of them immediately asked: "If the Chinese team plays against the England team, how many do you think the Chinese team will lose?" ”

Wu Jie scolded in his heart: "Big pen"!

This kind of question will only be answered when there is a problem in his mind, and he immediately replied: "Tonight is a match against the Hong Kong team, and I don't like to discuss too much about things that have nothing to do with it, it is disrespectful to the opponent in front of me." ”

These Hong Kong reporters fully explained what it means to be unprofessional and underbeaten, and one of them actually asked: "What do you think is the chance that the Chinese team will win against the Hong Kong team?" ”

Wu Jie: "......"

I have to say that Hong Kong journalists are not only of low level and quality, but they are also very underwhelming.

But the Hong Kong people are quite friendly, and they haven't been unhappy when shopping before.

Although he also knew that this was because the economic development gap between the mainland and Hong Kong at this time was too great, and the Hong Kong people had a sense of superiority over the mainlanders.

The Hong Kong media has been adding fuel to the report on the mainland, so the Hong Kong people at this time are mainly condescending charity feelings, or sympathy and pity attitudes.

But it's over pitiful, it's over charity, and in the end, I'll still use movies to smear you like crazy.

These ordinary people don't care about the truth of media reports, because people just want to express their superiority and then enjoy the feeling of condescending to judge you.

But that's not what he's going to worry about right now, it's the main task tonight.

The Hong Kong team did a lot of work before the game, they carefully studied the offensive habits of Wu Jie and Koo Guangming, and planned to use targeted defensive arrangements to limit the two best players of the Chinese team, and at the same time use dense defense to prevent the Chinese team from scoring.

But they didn't expect Su Yongshun to send a lineup that exceeded expectations-

Frontcourt: Chen Jingang, Zhao Dayu.

Midfielders: Shen Xiangfu, Yung Zhixing, Wu Jie, Gu Guangming.

Backcourt: Zang Cailing, Chi Shangbin, Cai Jinbiao, Lin Lefeng.

Goalkeeper: Li Fusheng.

Wu Jie was actually moved to the midfield, which greatly exceeded the Hong Kong team's expectations.

He was even more chaotic in the official game, sometimes organizing in the middle, sometimes going to the right to pick up, and then running to the left in the blink of an eye.

The Hong Kong team's pre-match targeting of Wu Jie was completely useless, and instead made a mess of their own defense.

But today's position of Wu Jie was not arranged by Su Yongshun, but he took the initiative to ask to play a free man in the front court.

At this stage, in addition to relying on individual ability, the Chinese team can only play a simple two-by-one combination, or two side crosses, unable to form a triangle pass attack on the offensive end, let alone continuous wall-hitting coordination.

But it's not that there is no way to solve this problem, Wu Jie is not running around today, he can form a triangular connection with Rong Zhixing and Zhao Dayu in the middle lane; If you go to the right side, you can also form a triangle with Zhao Dayu and Gu Guangming; It's the same with going to the left.

This also has the advantage of creating a local numerical advantage, and once a chance is created, Wu Jie can easily break through the defense line with his individual ability, or use the pass to penetrate the defense.

This is the method he came up with at this stage to increase the regional coordination ability of the Chinese team, and the only flaw is that he has worked himself, because the running distance of this style of play may exceed 10,000 meters per game.

Fortunately, he has excellent physical fitness, as well as cards to speed up his physical recovery, and running an average of 10,000 meters per game is nothing.

This change made the Chinese team play a performance that collapsed the Hong Kong team in the first half, even if the referee was very biased towards the home team, but as long as it was not as shameless as Kuwait, it was still not enough to close the gap between the two teams.

Wu Jie helped the team firmly control the midfield, and even though the Hong Kong team often retreated to the backfield to defend, he still used erratic running positions to pass a lot of penetrating through plugs to his teammates.

It's a pity that the two strikers are not as good as him in seizing opportunities, and they only grasped two chances in the first half against the Hong Kong team, with Zhao Dayu and Yung Zhixing scoring in the 32nd and 43rd minutes respectively.

In the second half, Wu Jie personally blasted the door of the Hong Kong team with a super world wave 38 meters away in the 59th minute, and then used "machine gun shooting" to celebrate with a stand on the stadium that kept shouting "Chinese go back to the mainland"!

During this period, certain groups had begun to be deliberately supported by the British government in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong media became more and more deliberate in shaping the contradictions between the two places.

His response was not calm, but in the face of these bastards, he really didn't want to turn a blind eye, and being impulsive was also in line with his current age.

Young people, are they still called young people if they are not young and vigorous?

However, the Hong Kong team's defense is not bad, and it can be seen that they have done a lot of homework.

The score was not changed until the end of the game.

"Xiaojie, I'm sorry for your pass."

Zhao Dayu was a little ashamed to face Wu Jie after the game, he wasted a lot of opportunities today, otherwise the score would never be more than 3:0.

"I didn't play well either!"

Chen Jingang is also not very old, and he also missed a couple of good chances today, including one with a header from close range.

Wu Jie scolded in his heart: "You still have the face to say, it's so stupid that you can't even eat the cake", but on the surface, he still had an elegant and easy-going look, and comforted him with kind words: "I don't blame you, the Hong Kong team put a bus in front of the door today, they were originally going for a draw, and 3:0 is already acceptable." ”

There is some truth in these words, and it also exposes a problem that has to be taken seriously, that is, the Chinese team lacks the ability to score from set-pieces.

The Hong Kong team really didn't want to win this game, they just planned to defend a draw in a shameless way, which made the Hong Kong team eager to put on a 10-0-0 formation.

He estimates that many Asian teams also plan to do this, if these opponents are in such an iron bucket formation, then the Chinese team must rely more on set-pieces, that is, corner kicks and free kicks.

Now the Chinese team is the one who takes free kicks and corners by Rong Zhixing, but he is good at passing, not scoring directly.

At this time, the Chinese team did not have a free kick master, let alone any magic skills such as leaf balls, banana balls, and elevator balls.

Wu Jie's free kick level is not good, he didn't practice this technique in those two virtual trainings, but only practiced a few sets of free kicks every day in reality.

But the effect can only be said to be average, and it is certainly unrealistic to want to become a free-kick master in less than a year.

He's only the team's second free-kick taker now, mainly because no one is too embarrassed to take it from him.

"Looks like I'm going to buy a training card again!"

Wu Jie knows that free-kicks are a skill he must master, and this thing is one of the most advantageous weapons to break the deadlock and defend intensively.

This time, instead of buying a diamond-level card, he bought a gold-level dream training card.

The gold-level dream training card costs 1500 points, which can make the dream time 25 times slower than reality, and to be honest, the cost performance is very average.

But free-kicks don't require much sparring, and he's learned how to play in the first two virtual sessions, and then it's a practice makes perfect, and plenty of opportunities to get started.

This card allows him to practice 250 hours of free kicks every night, and Wu Jie believes that with two or three cards, his free kick kung fu can make great progress.
