Before the first match, tournament organizers need to provide a pre-match training venue for each team, which is also an international practice.

The Chinese team can also conduct a pre-match training session before the first game.

The atmosphere of this light training is very relaxed, and everyone chats on the field while warm-up games.

Wu Jie wrote a letter to his cheap parents on the sidelines at this time, and someone would definitely say: "Writing a letter is too old, right?" Why not just call? ”

He wanted to make a phone call, and the hotel also had an international call service, which was a reimbursable service.

However, in this era, domestic communication is inconvenient, not to mention international long-distance, and even domestic long-distance calls are troublesome, so the players can't call their families as soon as they go abroad.

You can only use the ancient way of writing letters to report your safety to your family, and by the way, introduce what you have seen and heard in a foreign place.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to start."

"I'm used to eating here, living well, getting along well with my teammates, my teammates in Beijing take good care of me, and my teammates are also friendly."

“……”

Wu Jie also had to write to his cheap parents to report safety, which is basically this kind of content.

"Xiaojie, this warm-up method you invented, as well as the circle grabbing method, is really easy to use!"

Su Yongshun was standing on the sidelines at this time, and when he saw Wu Jie, who had finished writing the letter, running over to join the training, he couldn't help but praise this little guy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he became.

"I also had a whim, just a coincidence!"

Wu Jie smiled modestly, he had been training in Kunming for so long, so he naturally taught some advanced training methods.

But in order not to make people suspicious, he didn't come up with too many tricks at once, basically some circle grabbing and shooting training that have been used for more than ten years in the 21st century, plus some interesting and creative warm-up and technical training methods.

However, for the 80s, these things were the most advanced training methods in Europe.

Wu Jie didn't take out everything he learned in La Masia all at once, he took out every item he pretended to be inspired by something in the communication with his teammates, or pretended to come up with a method out of the blue.

These people all want to curry favor with him, so they are naturally willing to mess around with him.

So in four months, the Chinese team came up with a set of advanced training methods that were about to become systematic.

In the end, even the coaching staff had to admit that Wu Jie's whimsical several training methods for grabbing circles, as well as several dribbling and shooting training methods, and even various mini-games during warm-up and training, were very efficient to use, and almost everything in football technology was included.

As a simple example, Wu Jie came up with an amazing way to exercise heading, which was to steal a basketball hoop from the men's basketball team next door, then pass the ball with his teammates with his head, and finally use his header to push the football into the basket.

This training method seems ridiculous, but when you actually go up and play it, you realize that it is ridiculously difficult.

No one in the team can hit 50% of the headers like Wu Jie, and even the head pass before shooting is easy to miss.

Then there's some of the physical training methods he learned from 21st-century teams, which is his own way of training.

He has been training in his own way from the beginning, and the strength and conditioning coach has been unhappy about it.

When everyone saw that his training method was so novel and strange, they naturally imitated it.

But they were surprised to find that these methods of building physical fitness and core strength throughout the body were very difficult for them to do.

Many players struggle to complete any one set of movements, and those who can complete one or two sets of training are basically considered players with extremely outstanding physical talent in the team.

In this way, many people naturally asked for advice and imitated Wu Jie's training methods.

He was not stingy in teaching his own unique skills, and in the end, even the physical trainer carefully studied his training methods, and finally came to the conclusion that it was very efficient!

In the past four months, although Wu Jie still has a lot to come up with, the advanced level of the Chinese team in training has been quietly improved to a notch, and the training efficiency of the players has also been greatly improved, and most of the players have improved to a certain extent.

But it is Wu Jie who has improved the most, and after four months of training with the national team, his four-star athletic talent has been partially cashed in.

Now his detailed attributes are-

Height: 186cm↑, weight 73kg↑, physical talent (✦✦✦✦)

"Comprehensive ability": 85 ↑

"Offensive": 88 ↑

"Defense": 61 ↑

"Tricks": 87 ↑

"Move": 82 ↑

"Strength": 75↑

"Gatekeeping": 20 ↑

"Psychological": 89 ↑

At this moment, his physical attributes have improved significantly compared to four months ago, but the four-star athletic talent has still not been fully realized, and there will be a lot of improvement in the next six months.

On September 15, the Chinese team played against the first opponent of the group stage, the Philippine team, and the game was played in the evening local time in Kuwait.

It was a contest with little suspense, and South Korea did not even send anyone over to inquire about the military situation, apparently because it felt that there was nothing to be seen in the match with the Philippines.

But the sticks soon regretted it, and just as they played Macau 5-0 and easily won the first group stage victory, the news came from another stadium that the Chinese team led the Philippines 6-0 in the first half.

This made South Korea's head coach Kim Jong-nam think that he had heard the wrong news, and this should be the full-time score, right?

The strength of the Philippines is very weak, but the Chinese team scored 6 goals in the first half, that is too outrageous, right?

When the other teams received the news, they also felt that the news was wrong.

Many teams in Asia have the strength to score 6 goals in the Philippines, but it is impossible to score this score at halftime.

The Philippines said they were the one they didn't believe in the most, but the scoreboard and clear memory on the field told them that none of this was a nightmare.

Wu Jie was already sitting on the field at this time, and he scored four of the six goals scored by the Chinese team in the first half, and he could only say about it: The Philippines is too vegetable!

He had never simulated such an opponent in his dream training, and the worst was teams like Kuwait, New Zealand, Australia, North Korea, Japan, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong.

In his eyes, the Philippines is completely amateurish, and any team from the domestic First Division can win.

This kind of game made him feel very boring, so he took the initiative to ask for a break at halftime.

In the second half, the Filipino players were just relieved to see that the demonic guy was gone, and then fell into the situation of being beaten unilaterally again.

In such a game with a huge disparity in strength, Wu Jie will not have much impact when he is not present.

Xu Yonglai and Zuo Shusheng, who came on as substitutes in the second half, both scored, Cai Jinbiao and Chi Shangbin also scored two with headers, plus an own goal from the Philippine team, the Chinese team finally scored a super score of 11:0.

It was also the biggest game on the first day of the preliminary round, tying the record for the highest goals scored in the Asian Cup.

Oh Jie also temporarily ranked first in the scorer list of the preliminaries with 4 goals, one goal ahead of Choi Soon-ho, who scored a hat-trick against Macau.

But this result did not attract much attention from the outside world, the Chinese team is a second-rate top in the eyes of Asian countries, or the strength of the first-class end, and it is normal to defeat the Philippines that is not in the stream.

As for Wu Jie, who scored four goals, since the scorer list in the preliminaries will be cleared after entering the main game, the media of various countries think that he is just scoring goals on the weak team, and at most add a little luck.

Of course, the Chinese media will not see it that way, and it is not easy for the Philippines to score four goals in the first half of the year.

What's more, Wu Jie was only 17 years old and was able to start among a group of veterans, and the post-game interview was unanimously recognized by the veteran players and the head coach.

All this shows that he is a genius and will not be inferior to Choi Soon-ho of South Korea.

Three days later, the Chinese team ushered in the second opponent of the group stage: the Macau team!

Macau football is a bit stronger than the Philippines, but it doesn't make much difference for Wu Jie.

In this game, the Macau team sent a lot of troops to strengthen his defense, but unfortunately the overall gap between the two sides was there, and the Chinese team was basically pressing the Macau team to play all over the field.

Wu Jie scored two goals again in the first half, and also made a penalty to give Rong Zhixing the penalty, and the Chinese team led 4:0 at halftime.

In the second half, Wu Jie continued to look for opportunities to score.

At this time, the Macau team had already used two defenders to mark him, but he still found a corner kick opportunity to complete the goal and complete the hat-trick again.

Su Yongshun replaced him in the 76th minute of the second half, and the first two games can only be regarded as a warm-up strictly speaking, and the next game against South Korea is a tough battle!

South Korea is thinking the same way, and they now have a 2-0 record against China.

If they can improve their record to 3:0, then they will have enough psychological advantage if they meet the Chinese team again in the World Preliminaries.

"The Chinese team has a talent who doesn't look like a 17-year-old, but we have a Choi Chun-ho who looks a lot like a 17-year-old."

After the 8-0 massacre of the Philippines by South Korea's head coach Kim Jong-nam, he did not forget to make a mockery of Wu Jie's age after the game.

During this period, China's football and basketball did begin to falsely report their age, but it was far less common than it was more than ten years later, at least almost no one in this batch of national teams made false reports, and only a few people in the next session four or five years later, Kim Jong-nam is a bit of a rumor.

Later, when asked who is better Wu Jie or Choi Soon-ho, Kim Jong-nam said unceremoniously: "Their height is very close, but Choi Soon-ho is stronger and more powerful, he runs faster, has good foot kung fu, and is fully skilled." His goal is to catch up with his predecessors, not his Asian peers. ”

The predecessor Kim Jong Nam is talking about is, of course, Cha Beom-geun, the first person in Asia, who is the national idol of South Korea, and whose status in their country is no less than that of Yao Ming and Liu Xiang in the first decade of the 21st century.

When finally asked if he was confident of winning the Asian Cup, Kim Jong Nam still did not forget to disses the Chinese team: "Our intention in this Asian Cup is to train young players, so some veterans in the team did not participate, and Cha Fangen will not come back from Germany, but I think it is enough to deal with the Chinese team." ”

Of course, this ridicule reached the ears of the Chinese team, especially at the pre-match press conference before the two teams clashed, Wu Jie heard a Japanese reporter relay that I don't know if it was the provocation of the original words.

In the first two games, Su Yongshun did not let him attend the pre-match and post-match press conferences.

But he scored a hat-trick in both games, with both the AFC and tournament organisers demanding that Wu Jie appear at the pre-match and post-match press conferences.

This made Su Yongshun and Team Leader Gou a little worried, Wu Jie can perform well on the field, but he may not be able to cope with reporters.

Sure enough, this hateful Japanese journalist was there to do something.
