The format of the Asian Cup has also been changing, with this year the preliminaries are divided into four groups to determine eight places, and then one is divided into two groups with China and Singapore, and then two teams from each will advance to the semi-finals and start the knockout round.

The Chinese team was placed in Group A, and the opponents in the same group were: Kuwait, South Korea, Iran, and India.

Obviously, the strength of Group B is weaker, the UAE and Qatar are not strong like Syria before the apprenticeship, and Saudi Arabia is considered a strong team in Asia.

But for China and Singapore, there is actually no difference in the strength of the group, because in the eyes of the former they are both weak teams, and in the eyes of the latter, they are both strong teams.

Ye Yuqi and a group of sports leaders did not put pressure on the players before the game, and did not say much official words after the meeting, but secretly stated that Li Fenglou and other minions of the Football Association, don't hide this Asian Cup, the Chinese team not only wants to win, but also ruthlessly, just like Arsenal played Manchester United.

Well, now even Asian teams are starting to use Manchester United as a losing indicator, I don't know if Manchester United fans will cry when they know about it.

Of course, Li Fenglou and others didn't dare to have any opinions, but they were still complaining in their hearts: Since they want to fight to the death, why don't they recall some players from Europe?

It doesn't matter if those superstars are not transferred back, but Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu can always be recalled, right?

But they didn't want to think that Wu Jie and others were going to come back to play, and the team didn't dare to complain about anything no matter how unhappy they were, because there was no one to replace.

But if players like Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu are always called back, then they should consider whether to find a replacement, because players of this level can be replaced.

Of course, these issues will not be discussed, because subordinates cannot argue with their superiors.

These Football Association officials were full of spirit when facing the players, but in the face of these co-drivers from the sports department, they were all submissive, which shows how naïve it was when Wu Jie first crossed over and thought about his father being the first brother of the Football Association.

The coaching staff of the Chinese team did not frown after receiving the order to "beat hard", because this is not an impossible task, in fact, they have wanted to do it for a long time.

It happened that the first game of the group stage was against India, and the starting forwards sent by the Chinese team were Marin and Zhang Anhong.

The 22-year-old Marin is not the first time to enter the national team, but the 20-year-old Zhang Anhong is the first time to enter the national team.

This person was excavated by Wu Jie very early, and he is basically an enhanced version of Liu Haiguang's technique, but he is inferior in physical confrontation, explosiveness, and heading, and his physical talent is only three-star, but his skills are really good.

But on the premise of having Liu Haiguang and Chen Jingang, it is naturally difficult for such players to occupy another position, and this Chinese team does not need a skilled striker with insufficient confrontation.

The coaching staff of the Chinese team thought that he could replace Chen Jingang in the future, but when they thought of the outrageously talented Yang Shuhua in the youth team, and Wu Jie's younger brother would be out of the mountain in a few years, Zhang Anhong was afraid that he would not be able to squeeze into the first team at that time.

There have been a lot of embarrassing young players like the Chinese team in the past two years.

They are better than Chen Jingang's group of players in terms of talent, but they are much worse than the new generation of emerging talents, so they are destined to be difficult to join the national team in the big competition.

This can be regarded as a side effect of Wu Jie secretly using the system to tap geniuses, of course, this side effect is a good thing, because real geniuses are very few after all, and Chinese football can only truly become a football power if it has a sufficient number of such outstanding players.

Players like Zhang Anhong are not bad, even if they go to the four major leagues, they can mix a rotation position in the relegation team, and if they go to the middle and lower reaches of leagues such as the Eredivisie, French Ligue 1, and Belgian League, it is not a big problem to mix a starter.

This kind of player Wu Jie is not too many at all, and the more the better.

Also, although these players are in an awkward situation in the national team, they are unlikely to do much when they go to Europe.

But in Asia, especially in Asia in the 80s, it was really a big brother-level figure.

And players like this kind of Asian star level, who can be the core of Japan and South Korea, are now everywhere in this Chinese national team, because if you don't reach this level, you can't even enter the third team.

Let's put it this way, even if the players from the second and third teams are selected to form a team, there will still be few opponents in Asia.

The Indian team faced such a Chinese team, and the end was naturally not much worse than in 62.

"I want to go to Europe and make a lot of money!"

When Zhang Anhong appeared, her thoughts were very pragmatic.

He didn't ask Wu Jie and other big brothers to be the king and hegemon in Europe, they knew that they didn't have that talent.

But like Liu Haiguang and Zhao Dayu to get ahead in Europe, even if they play in the German second division like Chen Jingang and Shen Xiangfu, it may not be impossible to do it.

Besides, even if they play in the Bundesliga, they can earn a salary that they dare not imagine in a year.

Wei Xinghua, a 19-year-old winger who has been overwhelmed by Ren Zhihui, thinks the same thing in his heart.

Before Ren Zhihui went to the Netherlands, no one noticed that he was a genius who was not inferior to Gu Guangming back then, and now it was finally his turn to show his talent.

Tan Haishan looked at his partner Zhu Bo, the Bayi defender who had just been replaced by Cui Yonghua, and he would soon be replaced by him, he wanted to prove that he was no worse than Cui Yonghua and Jia Xiuquan, and he could also go to Italy to play.

Li Huayun bowed his head and kissed the five-star red flag on his jersey before going on the field, he didn't know that he had been working hard, but why he had been repeatedly rejected by the national team.

Gu Guangming is indeed in good shape, but he is confident that he is better than Shen Xiangfu, but he is not included in the list of the national team every time.

He knew that he was no longer young, and that the young talents were jumping out one after another, and if he didn't take advantage of this last opportunity, he probably never had the chance to wear this jersey again.

There are also Ma Lin, Wu Qunli, Wang Dongning, Lu Hongxiang, Chi Minghua, Fu Yubin...... The old men of these national teams also have the idea of playing in Europe, and today there are indeed a large number of European scouts who come to China to pan for gold.

They don't dare not come, how many geniuses have come out of China in recent years?

Who dares to say that this Asian Cup will not pop up another Wu Jie II?

They all know that Wu Jie became famous through the Asian Cup, so this event has also received the attention of European teams, which is called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha.

The abacus in the hearts of these teams is very simple, even if there is no monster like Wu Jie, but if there is a Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, it is enough to use the cornerstone for a lifetime!

At this time, even Manchester United, which had just become a joke in Europe, also sent a chief scout to dig out Chinese talents, which is called "mastering the skills of Yiyi to control Yi".

But the result was a bit too surprising, why do these Chinese players seem to be geniuses?

Just like that Li Huayun, the Chinese winger turned the entire right-hand corridor into his own back garden from the very beginning of the game, and his violent stops and high-speed changes of direction made European scouts shine in their eyes.

Especially after seeing the 21-year-old age on Li Huayun's information, although this performance is still a little worse than Ren Zhihui, but if he can play football in Europe, do you still need to ask?

Manchester United's scouts directly gave a three-star evaluation, he believes that this Li Huayun will never be worse than Gu Guangming, but the age difference between the two is five years old, which means that Li Huayun's potential is far stronger than Gu Guangming.

German scouts have taken a fancy to Zhang Anhong, and they now have a lot of trust in China's high-school forwards.

Wu Jie is also a high school striker strictly speaking, and Liu Haiguang and Chen Jingang also performed well in their respective teams, which is their source of confidence.

This Zhang Anhong is an astonishing 192cm tall, and his weight seems to be a little lighter, but this is related to age, and it is not a big problem.

Add to that the Chinese centre-forward's consistently excellent headers, and the player's potential is definitely stronger than that of Yoo Hae-kwang and the South Korean Cha Be-geun.

Soon, Wei Xinghua on the left also claimed this corridor as his own.

This 19-year-old genius who has been suppressed by Ren Zhihui has reached three and a half stars in physical talent, with excellent explosiveness and speed, and even performed Wu Jie's man-ball division + forced overtaking on the outside line in the first half, and there is no doubt that he has been targeted by many teams.

The Indian players felt an illusion of being ignored, although they were poured 6 goals by the Chinese team in the first half, which cannot be said that the Chinese team did not pay attention to them.

But the Indian players on the field still have a feeling of being despised and ignored, because this is the most hated and sensitive feeling they have, and they can't be mistaken.

That's true, because these Chinese players really don't see them as opponents.

Today they weren't so much playing against India as they were playing for the European scouts on the spot.

This is actually a bit helpless and even a little sad for Chinese football, because it can't retain talents at all.

But this is also the inevitability of the historical stage, it is inevitable for China to look at money after stepping out of the planned economy, scientific researchers, athletes are no exception, after all, everyone has to have food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they have to start a family, and the more capable people have higher requirements for these.

Therefore, this situation cannot be avoided in thirty or forty years, only when the country's economy develops to a certain scale, only when there are two hands in China that can not count Huawei, Ali and Tencent, and only when the income of the Chinese Super League reaches the level of the five major leagues, then it is natural to easily leave talents in China, otherwise I really think that talents are willing to suffer discrimination abroad, if there are those who do not want to return to China to play their skills!

But now Chen Jingang and Shen Xiangfu have played in the Bundesliga for two or three years, which is an astronomical amount for most Chinese.

This situation would not have been possible without the help of some restrictions, such as prohibiting players under the age of 25 from playing abroad.

And for the Indian team, today is indeed a complete humiliation, because the Chinese players not only did not treat them as opponents, but also almost did not treat them as human beings.

Of course, not many people will see the truth, and the Indian players only have a feeling of being ignored. Cool Record Literature

The worst thing is that they don't know that their weak chickens have created enough illusions to confuse European scouts, which can be regarded as an indirect help for the Chinese players.

In the second half, Zhang Anhong, Wei Xinghua, Li Huayun, and Wang Dongning were undoubtedly the most dazzling players on the field, but this was all thanks to the great foil of the Indian players, who maintained the level for 62 years as always.

Here take Zhang Anhong as an example, he is enough to replace Chen Jingang's position, but the ceiling is definitely not as good as Liu Haiguang, the reason is that the confrontation ability is insufficient, and the explosiveness and speed are not fast enough, this is a high-school striker who focuses his skills on agility and technology.

However, the Indian players did not think so, and when they saw Zhang Anhong's height, they thought he was a tactical center-forward, so they sent a tall defender who was good at defending high balls to target.

The Indian defender is also more than 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than 90 kilograms, but he is not strong but a little fat, and that mobility ability simply makes Zhang Anhong laugh.

The most painful thing is that this person is not even very good at confrontation, and the Indian players have not exercised their core muscles at all, and they are still stuck in the primitive stage of only looking at height and weight.

Zhang Anhong is naturally very comfortable in the face of this kind of opponent, and the stupid big man on the opposite side is a stupid bear in front of him, which makes him flexible and agile, and his excellent dribbling characteristics are vividly played, and he even plays the ox tail and pedals the bicycle when he rises, which really doesn't treat the opponent as a person at all.

But these tricks made the European scouts on the scene very excited, and even many people gave a low-profile version of Wu Jie's evaluation, and the ghost knows if he drank the Ganges water brought by the Indian players from China.

The Chinese coaching staff all know that Zhang Anhong's magical performance is mainly based on the premise that the opponent is too weak, he faced Cui Yonghua and Jia Xiuquan in internal training, and he couldn't play these tricks at all, but the ball was either broken or surrounded, otherwise why couldn't even Chen Jingang squeeze in, because it was flashy!

Most of the other players of this Chinese team are also the same reason, Wei Xinghua and Li Huayun are both three-and-a-half star and semi-physical talents, and their explosiveness and speed have no advantage when they are pulled into the English League, even if they are paired with the excellent skills they have practiced in China, they are barely mixed up in the English League One relegation team, after all, the skills of the English League One players are not really so bad.

But at this moment, facing the Indian defenders, their breakthrough on the side looks even more inexplicable than Ren Zhihui, and all kinds of commotion operations are completely casual, and the opponent can't put any pressure on them at all.

Wang Dongning, a tank-type all-round player, couldn't rush up at all in the World Cup, but in the face of Indian players, he can show invincible confrontation ability, and those seemingly strong Indian players have no qualified dynamic confrontation ability at all, even if they are stronger than Wang Dongning, they are basically in vain.

This Shandong big man rushed everywhere in the audience, and everywhere he went was basically a mess, which was crazy!

Tan Haishan and Zhu Bo, the middle line of defense, also played an impeccable performance.

The Indian players' clumsy skills and stupid playing style, in the face of the backline tortured by Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, it was as accurate as Meituan's Eleme.

These European scouts also know that Asian teams are very good except for China, but they are still confused by the Chinese players in front of them.

Li Fenglou is naturally the happiest, he knows that after this Asian Cup, there must be a lot of dollars to earn.

But he didn't know that the sports department was about to introduce an age limit for going abroad, these are the last batch of players who can go abroad at will, and if they want to go abroad before the age of 25 next year, they must meet the genius clause.

The final score was very worthy of the level of both sides, and an 11-0 sweep made the Indians seem to be back in 1962, and the two sides perfectly staged a classic "yesterday repeated".

Zhang Anhong completed a hat-trick in this game, Wei Xinghua, Li Huayun, Wang Dongning, Wu Qunli each scored a goal, and another striker Marin also scored three goals quietly.

In fact, the one with the highest ceiling of these grains is Marin, whose physical talent is originally only two and a half stars, so as long as the intensity of the game is high, his performance will be limited.

But Marin's physical talent has long been promoted to three and a half stars by Wu Jie, and at this time, coupled with his excellent running and point-grabbing ability, as well as increasingly sophisticated shooting skills, his template is obviously a point-grabbing shooter like Lineker or Inzaghi, and it is likely to replace Zhao Dayu in the next few years.

After the Chinese team swept India to get off to a good start, they faced their old rival South Korea in the second game.

This time it was not so easy, these guys were taught by them to behave repeatedly in the past few years, but they began to learn the Chinese team's style of play.

Of course, the sticks also want to study in China, but the problem is that they don't have the money!

Which of the disciples of the Chinese team is not spending money, and which one is not so rich that it is flowing with oil?

Although there are also a few chaebols in this club, it would be humiliating to compare them with the Middle Eastern tyrants in the 80s.

So the poor stick can only look at the video by himself, and those painful memories to explore on his own.

But they don't have the advanced training methods provided by Wu Jie, and they don't have the correct guidance of the trio like coaches, and the most important thing is that Chinese football has natural institutional advantages......

These things are completely impossible to imitate, of course, it is difficult to achieve any effect from self-study, and at present, there are some achievements in the easiest physical fitness to practice, but not only have no results in terms of technique and tactics, but there are side effects because of the promotion of seedlings.

The Chinese team has an absolute advantage in tactics, technology, and body, so after figuring out the details of the three axes of the stick, they quickly took the advantage.

But the final score of 4:0 also shows that no matter how unbearable Nan Stick is, he is still a lot stronger than the third brother, at least he will not come to play football with a fat body.

If it weren't for Fu Yubin's outstanding performance in front of goal, Nan Bat would even have a chance to score.

But it's a pity that the good-looking goalkeeper didn't give the stick any chance, and their only few threatening shots were all blocked by Fu Yubin, and the third goalkeeper of the Chinese team finally began to gain attention.

In the third game, the Chinese team met the Kuwait team, the eldest disciple, again.

This big apprentice has been the second in Asia in recent years, but this position is already a little unstable, after all, it is a small country with a limited population, the key is that the Kuwaiti royal family does not care about youth training and the construction of the lower level, which makes Kuwaiti football must suffer from the problem of youth and yellow.

If it weren't for the advantage of the earliest apprenticeship, they have been receiving world-class training in the past few years, and playing the highest level warm-up matches in Asia, they would have been squeezed out of the ranks of Asia's first-class teams like the Hong Kong team.

The Chinese team also felt that the difficulty of playing Kuwait was actually smaller than playing South Base, but in the end, a 2:1 score made the big disciple very face-saving, because it was already a pity.

Li Fenglou is very satisfied with this result, although the above explained that he should let go of the fight, but of course this kind of big customers must be treated differently, otherwise kick out a 5:0, wouldn't it mean that the results of spending millions of dollars a year on tuition fees are not as good as the effect of self-study?

Therefore, all the teams that have paid the tuition, regardless of whether they have learned the real skills, they must at least let the family score a goal, and they must be able to get by on the field, so that they can do it for a long time.

Not to mention, the Kuwaiti royal family was very satisfied with the process and outcome of this war, and even shouted that the millions of tuition fees spent this year were too worthwhile, otherwise Japan and South Korea would have ended!

The last opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage is Iran, which has always wanted to go to China for apprenticeship, but is forced by the ongoing war and has no time to take care of it.

But the Chinese team said: No matter what reason you have, since you didn't come to pay the money to apprentice, then you can only be hit by me.

There is no doubt that the talent of Iranian players is much higher than that of Kuwait, but due to the impact of the war, it is difficult to have the same superior training environment as Kuwait, and the game experience is also seriously lacking.

In the end, a 6:0 fiasco made the Kuwaiti royal family have no complaints in the face of the tuition fee increase next year, because as the Chinese themselves said, "the price increase is because my ranking has risen again", this reason is reasonable and reasonable, but it is a little distracted.

However, don't say that Kuwait has not learned anything, it is not surprising that the Chinese team qualified with a complete victory, but the competition for second place is very fierce.

The Kuwaitis were inferior to South Korea and even less to Iran in terms of hard power, but they eventually grabbed another qualifying spot, relying on a tactical and experienced lead.

These two advantages, combined with the bias of the referee, are enough to make the gap in hard power insignificant.

As for which role is greater between "tactics and experience" and "referee", this only needs to look at the "third disciple" Qatar and the "fourth disciple" Saudi Arabia who are about to apprentice in Group B.

What, how can you say that the UAE, as the second senior brother, will be eliminated?

The reason here is not that China's teaching is not effective, but that the level of these UAE players is too poor, and Qatar and Saudi Arabia are not outsiders, which belongs to the internal grievances of the division.

There is a key word here, Saudi Arabia is about to apprentice, that is, there is no apprenticeship yet!

So in the semifinals, the Chinese team used a cruel 7:0 to make Saudi Arabia quickly make up its mind to apprentice.

The Saudi lords have received the news, and the Japanese have also come to the door with a generous apprenticeship.

If they fall behind, what if the Chinese team accepts the Japanese first and no longer accepts apprentices for the time being?

Wu Jie thinks it's a pity that the Dongfeng 3 improved model will not be put into service until 1986, otherwise it can earn billions in advance.

However, this matter has nothing to do with "sports", the appetite for the body is not so big, and their requirements for the "apprenticeship" are the same.

Kuwait, the eldest apprentice, used investment to build a large-scale comprehensive stadium for China, and later the second brother of the United Arab Emirates and the third brother Qatar all followed the same example and also used investment to build a large stadium with a Chinese company.

Now Japan and Saudi Arabia are also using this method to apprentice, which means that in a few years, China will build five new modern large-scale stadiums in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu.

These five stadiums are very important, and in the future, with these five new stadiums, plus the existing venues, it will be enough to host most of the venues for the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, and even the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and even for the future domestic football league.

Of course, these foundations will also be the same as the big brothers, and when the stadium is built, they will enjoy a revenue share for the next 20 years.

But like Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, Japan and Saudi Arabia will sign a declaration in advance that they will donate the proceeds to various charities in China, but at least half of them will go to the accounts of the China Sports Foundation.

"Singapore is also quite rich, don't they want to learn how to play football?"

In the final between the Chinese team and Qatar, Li Fenglou, a bad old man, looked at the president of the Singapore Football Association not far away, and he was bent on pimping for his team.

Now in the north, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, even the central cities in the southwest will add a new large-scale comprehensive stadium, and the next round should also be the turn of the central cities in the northwest to add one, but I don't know which other country in Asia is willing to contribute, Li Fenglou feels that Singapore's head is quite big.
