Chapter 352: He's Back!
In January, Arsenal play seven games, including two league games, two Champions League games, two FA Cup games and one League Cup semi-final.
The FA Cup third round against Galksby was a very easy one, a team from League C, with the Gunners still on the bench still playing 6-0 to inform the opposition that they had come to the wrong place.
The League Cup semi-final opponent is Aston Villa, a League One side who have not performed well this season and are now on the verge of falling into the relegation zone.
However, there are not many honours that this kind of team can pursue, the Carabao Cup is the only honour they have a chance to touch, and there will be no lack of fighting will against Arsenal.
But in the face of Arsenal's semi-main lineup, Aston Villa could only resist with dignity under absolute strength, and had to fall to the ground obediently.
In this battle, Graham, under the advice of Wu Jie, boldly used Michael Thomas and Gullitt to partner in the midfield, and the backline was also a lineup with two old and two new.
In the end, under Wu Jie's hat trick, Arsenal used a 4:1 to make people understand that he may really be able to win with a dog.
This situation is not so fair to Laudrup, Gullit, Lineker and others, because their light is all overshadowed by Wu Jie.
At this time, many people feel that their level looks very high, but that is an illusion formed under the leadership of Wu Jie, just like Mateus looked very strong at the beginning, but once he left Wu Jie, Bayern couldn't even play the League Cup under his leadership.
Of course, Wu Jie knew that this was a wrong impression caused by objective factors, but this impression was a good thing for him, so he wouldn't say anything more about it.
The reason why Arsenal still only sent semi-main players in this Carabao Cup semi-final is, of course, to show the best side of the Champions League.
Wu Jie already has four Champions Cups, but Arsenal rarely even has the opportunity to go to the Champions League once.
In this 32-in-16 first-leg game, Gunners fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, and the tickets have been fried to the point that it hurts the white-collar class, of course, Isabella, who can go to the scene to watch the game three days after giving birth, has a crooked smile on her face.
Arsenal drew against the "Bucharest Star Club" from Romania, a name that most Gunners fans have never heard of, but it is not a good draw.
Wu Jie knew that in the original plane, the Bucharest stars actually defeated Barcelona to win the championship, and their strength belonged to the first tier in this year's participating teams.
Although the Bucharest Star is only a club in a small Eastern European country, it has gathered all the members of the team known as the golden generation of Romania, and it can be said that this is the Romanian national team.
Barcelona in this era, although it is one of the top clubs in Europe, lost to a national team ranked in the top 30 in the world, which is not a surprising result.
But it's different with Arsenal, although the outside world thinks that Laudrup, Gullit, Elkjer and others have their current level under the leadership of Wu Jie, after all, they are not really first-class players before coming to Arsenal.
However, Wu Jie knows that his second and third masters are the core of Denmark and England in the 86 World Cup, and even the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh leaders are all important players in Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands and other teams, plus his sitting, not to mention against the Romanian national team, even if it is replaced by the Spanish national team, he is still not afraid.
The Bucharest Star's first game was again away from home, and Arsenal will of course have to take them away in a wave on their own turf to save the opposition from the unrealistic illusion of returning to home.
Arsenal also did the task set before the game, Wu Jie in this game that attracted the attention of the whole Europe, in the first five minutes with a long-distance run like hanging, ran 60 meters and completed the goal.
Obviously, the aliens, who haven't played in the Champions League for a year, are very excited about this game, and this is disastrous news for the Romanians.
Bucharest stars did not make targeted arrangements for Wu Jie, their head coach Emrich said proudly before the game: In order to deal with aliens, we have been practicing defensive tactics every day for a month, and at this moment there are not only Plan A and Plan B, but even Plan C waiting for him!
But all this planning seems to be unable to catch up with the changes in the game?
Wu Jie's adaptability made all the plans of the Bucharest Stars a joke in just one first half, and the 2:0 score in the first half was also Arsenal's three shots on the goal frame, not how successful the Bucharest Stars defense was.
In the second half, Gullit, who had just received the nickname of "Little Alien", made the suspense of the game completely disappear with a powerful 40-meter long-range shot.
But the most lethal thing was at the end of the game, after Wu Jie's cross knock in the penalty area helped Lineker score a decisive goal, the suspense of this round of the game was gone.
After the game, the camera was fixed on Wu Jie.
This is the first game after the alien returns to the Champions League, and his performance with two shots and one pass makes the giant teams of all Europe feel the pain of being dominated by aliens again.
The head coach of the Bucharest Stars, Emrich Yene, said with a desperate face after the game: "We have Plan B and Plan C? Yes, we do. But we still need Plan D! Plan E is required! Maybe 26 letters won't work, but when you meet him, you'll know what I mean. ”
But this really doesn't need to be said, the top teams in Europe, which one doesn't know the horror of aliens?
"He's back! He's back!! ”
"That man, he's back!"
"This alien who came to London may be even more terrifying than the Bayern period!"
“……”
The next day, the European media used these words to report Wu Jie's horror, who can defeat this inexplicable alien?
European fans feel that there is almost no answer to this question, and the only answer now is "young Pele", but if Wu Jie helps the Chinese team win the World Cup, even this answer does not seem quite right.
Speaking of the Chinese team, on this day, under the slaughter of Wu Jie's return to the Champions League, many European media actually reported a game news far away in Asia, although it only used a very small space to report.
The news comes from China's home game against Japan in the round of 10, and the reason why Japan and North Baseball will definitely not have a chance to qualify is because their last two games will be played again at the home stadium of the Chinese team.
In this case, of course, it is equivalent to recording a loss record first, and the exit of these two countries is a foregone conclusion.
But after the start of the game, the Japanese actually raised a little hope.
Of course, this is not because of drinking Ganges water, but because the Chinese team is too blind.
They actually sent Wang Yuanlin, who was only 16 and a half years old, in this game!
Counting 17-year-old Yang Shuhua and Zheng Guohong, and 19-year-old Ge Guangxing, this is indeed too disrespectful of the Japanese.
The average age of the Chinese team's starters has dropped to 21 years old, which is really a national Olympic team.
Wu Sheng and Fan Zhiyi will only be 15 years old, and the two of them watched their old teammates who had beaten themselves for two years at the scene, and they actually became a member of the national team at the age of 16, and also broke the record of the smallest national team appearance in Asia, and their hearts were not ordinary sour!
But jealousy can't help it, Wang Yuanlin's talent is not inferior to Ren Zhihui and Yang Shuhua, of course, the Football Association wants to sell this genius at a high price before the new regulations are introduced.
Although Wu Jie felt that he was a little too anxious, he also agreed that this kind of talent would be better at training in European teams at the moment, and it would be even better if he could train with the first team.
At present, the domestic league is making great progress in all aspects, but it is impossible to catch up with the level of European football in four or five years.
Wang Yuanlin and Wu Sheng were bought by teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Milan, even if they can't play in the first team for the time being, they are actually better than the training in China.
It will take at least ten years for the domestic environment to have the opportunity for such talents to train in their twenties and become famous before going to Europe.
The "genius clause" in the "prohibiting players under the age of 24 from playing abroad" is the back door for such talents.
The Japanese don't know how powerful this little guy is, how powerful do they think they can be at the age of 16?
But I'm sorry, although it is rare in history for players to play in Europe's top leagues at the age of 16, it is definitely not uncommon for no one to do it.
Although the Japanese team is a national team, its strength is still far from the relegation zone teams of the five major leagues.
So let Wang Yuanlin start at the age of 16, although it looks too contemptuous.
But in terms of the strength of both sides, Wang Yuanlin himself feels that the intensity of this game is actually not as good as the Group AB confrontation between the National Olympic team in order to compete for the starters.
The Japanese pair were at an absolute disadvantage soon after the start of the match, and found that they might not really be underestimated?
Because from the first minute of the game, the ball was firmly controlled by the young players of the Chinese team.
The Chinese team's style is influenced by Wu Jie, and the attacking side has always emphasized the guarantee of possession, especially when the opponent is not strong enough, they must control the ball.
But while maintaining possession, players must not be too sticky to the ball, unless there is a breakthrough opportunity, they must play the ball within two balls, preferably with one kick, and then through the player's triangular position with the tearing through pass, or back and forth lateral transfer after the sudden cross, to help the wing star create a single breakthrough opportunity.
Today, the combination of the national Olympic team + the national youth team used this offensive style that they have been training for five years to show the modified Tiki-Taka style of play to the fullest.
The first goal of the first half was through a series of V-shaped and Lamb-shaped passes in the midfield, and suddenly an old rookie Wu Qunli passed a straight kick, and Ge Guangxing stepped forward to get the ball and immediately attacked the hinterland with his personal ability.
Japan's defense was cut through half by a tearing pass, and soon the other half was torn apart by Ge Guangxing's flea-like breakaway.
Ge Guangxing successfully burst into the penalty area after connecting the two, and then shook the last defender to the ground with a smash feint.
Ge Guangxing's usual style of play is very unique, but at this moment, when he can push at a small angle, he actually gave the ball to Wang Yuanlin in front of the small penalty area.
Wang Yuanlin also had the opportunity to set the youngest goal record for the national team in Asia at this time, but he also did not shoot directly, but knocked the ball to Yang Shuhua, who formed an empty goal, with great maturity.
Yang Shuhua is now regarded by Chinese fans as a strengthened version of Lineker, and naturally will not miss such a scoring opportunity, helping Wang Yuanlin to set a new record of "the youngest assist in Asian A-level competitions".
Wu Jie is not unhappy at all, although it is his record that is broken, but even if the goal record is broken, he will only be happy, not unhappy!
The game after this is basically the performance time of these young players of the Chinese team.
Wang Yuanlin's breakthrough on the side, as if in a no-man's land, his gorgeous skills brought by his excellent ball sense, combined with four-and-a-half-star athleticism, in the face of Japanese defenders who do not even have three-star athletic ability, naturally want to eat raw and shake down.
The second goal of the Chinese team was that after Wang Yuanlin played the defender on the right side, he used his speed to eat the defender alive, inserted the ball into the penalty area and gave the ball to Yang Shuhua, helping the latter to score easily.
Before the end of the first half, Wang Yuanlin broke through to the penalty area on the left side this time, and then reversed the triangle pass, and Yang Shuhua followed up again to complete the goal.
Now the Japanese players, as well as the Japanese fans, are all devastated!
A 16-and-a-half-year-old player scored a hat-trick of assists in the first half and a 17-and-a-half-year-old scored a hat-trick in the first half!
How else does this make them play?
This game is too difficult, right?
This is really difficult, and today's defense of the Japanese team is basically in a state of vain at any time in the face of Wang Yuanlin's side breakthrough.
Even if the Japanese players use lethal tactics, it is useless, because which frontcourt player who came out of the "Alien Football School" is not proficient in the kung fu of one-handed diving?
Wu Sheng is taller than his brother, but he has also mastered the technique of diving in the penalty area.
How can a technical streamer like Wang Yuanlin not dive?
The final score of the game was 5:0, and the Chinese football players were still not strong enough in terms of physical fitness, and all three underage players were replaced early.
But the potential they have shown is something that the European media will have to pay attention to.
The 16-year-old's hat-trick of assists was still in the World Cup qualifiers, which is big news even in Africa!
European clubs naturally focus on the three talented young players Yang Shuhua, Wang Yuanlin and Zheng Guohong, especially the first two have entered the top of the list of many giants and top teams.
But the European media is more focused on the national team level, after all, there is still half a year to go before the World Cup.
Although this Wang Yuanlin only played in the first half, his potential will definitely not be worse than Ren Zhihui, and he is another side superstar seedling.
In the future, the Chinese team will have two aliens who are so outstanding on the side and omnipotent in the middle, how can they defend themselves at that time?
Now this Wang Yuanlin is still young, but a Ren Zhihui has greatly improved the three-dimensional attack of the Chinese team, if they have two star wings and can be called the world's No. 1 middle, it will really make any team feel a headache.
