On September 1, the Chinese men's football team ended a five-month training camp, of course, only four months for Wu Jie.

A month ago, Su Yongshun announced the squad for the Asian Cup in the team.

Wu Jie's name is prominently listed, and although he is placed last among the strikers, the players who have participated in the training camp know who is the most capable scorer in the team - Wu Jie has set a record of scoring all goals in 20 consecutive team training games.

Those who were not selected returned to their respective teams to play in the league a month ago, and everyone knows that this squad will also be the squad for the World Cup in December, unless any player is injured or performs poorly in the Asian Cup.

Wu Jie is not worried that his performance will be bad at all, and he said politely that Asian teams are too good in his eyes, including his teammates.

Now I'm afraid that my teammates won't give me, and as a striker, he can guarantee that he scores in every game.

But if the back line leaks everywhere, and the midfield doesn't have the control to deliver enough shells, he can only fight alone.

So there is still some pressure on this task, and if he really misses out on the championship, he will not even be qualified to play eggs for four consecutive years.

There are 18 teams participating in this year's Asian Cup, and the format is extremely backward "preliminaries", "group stage" and "knockout round"!

The sports competition system of this era is very unscientific, even the World Cup is no exception, and the Asian fish pond is even more of a mess.

This format allows neither hosts Kuwait nor last year's champions Iran to play in the preliminary rounds, and they go straight to the group stage.

In the preliminary stage, the 16 teams are divided into four groups, and the top two teams in each group qualify for the group stage, which is the main competition.

The preliminary group of the Chinese team was announced last month, and their opponents in the same group were the Philippines, Macau and South Korea.

"NEW!"

"Get a side quest: Prevent Koreanphobia!"

"Mission Requirements: Please help the Chinese men's football team to win against South Korea/South Korea!"

"Mission Status: China 0:2 South Korea."

"Mission Reward: The Chinese men's football team has a better winning rate than the South Korean/South Korean men's football team, and the daily increase is 100 Olympic Points!"

"Mission Punishment: The Chinese men's football team has a lower winning rate than the South Korean/South Korean men's football team, and the daily number of Olympic points will be reduced by 100!"

As soon as Wu Jie saw this task, not only did he not have any resistance in his heart, but he was even very happy to receive such a task.

At this time, South Korean football had not yet taken off, and compared to China, it was half a pound and eight taels.

Especially in the period from 1980 to 1985, the two teams were first-class in Asia, and the quality of each other was not much different.

Since then, the power of South Korea and Japan has steadily increased, and China's power has begun to decline year by year.

But the real gap has only gradually widened since 95 years, and it's not too much for the A-League to die first, right?

Now this group is just right for him to beat up South Korea, and it would be a great thing if South Korea could be treated with a "phobia" or something.

But when he saw the status of that task, Wu Jie couldn't be calm, why did he fall behind 0:2 as soon as he came up?

The last time I checked offline Baidu, I learned that the two teams only met for the first time in 1978 after the founding of New China.

At the Asian Games in Bangkok, South Korea defeated China 1-0; In the same year, a dozen days later, in the preliminary round of the Asian Cup in Manila, South Korea defeated China again 1-0.

This is the current record of the two teams, and it is far away from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so the 0:2 mission progress is displayed.

But this is too bad, shouldn't it be reasonable to start with his first match against South Korea?

This one is 0:2 behind, who can stand it!

However, the system will only answer some questions and will not respond to his protests.

So he can only start from 0:2 of the pit daddy, and he has to deduct 100 Olympic coins every day from today!

On September 10, Wu Jie, who was impatient to beat up South Korea, took a plane from Hong Kong to Kuwait with the Chinese team.

Also on board was players from the Hong Kong team, who were placed in a group with Japan.

Hong Kong are confident that they will emerge as a group, having been the best in Asia for most of the time before the 80s, and have had back-and-forth against teams such as Japan and South Korea in the early to mid-70s.

However, with the rise of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Hong Kong's football market began to decline in the 70s, and Hong Kong football began to decline, gradually falling to the second popular column in the last year or two, and Chinese mainland quickly rose to the top.

The Guangdong team has been actively communicating with the Hong Kong team since the 70s, and most of the players on both sides know each other, and it is very convenient for both sides to communicate in Cantonese.

Of course, the northern players could not understand Cantonese, they were not familiar with the Hong Kong players, and even the relationship with the Guangdong players was not good, so they all closed their eyes in their seats at this time.

Wu Jie didn't care about the contradiction between the northern players and the southern players, he knew that the players of the two factions did not like each other, because most of the Guangdong players in Su Yongshun's squad were reused, and most of the northern players had to play as substitutes.

FIFA in this era requires a maximum of 22 players per team, of which 4 are substitutes, 18 are in the squad, and 11 are in the starting lineup.

Su Yongshun has established an 18-man squad, but the starting lineup has made the northern players very unhappy, because 5 of the 11 players are from Guangdong, especially the midfielders and frontcourt players are accounted for by more than half of the players of the Guangdong team.

Zuo Shusheng is the most dissatisfied one, he thinks that his ability is obviously above Chen Xirong, and he should have a position in the midfield.

Xu Yonglai and Chen Jingang also have opinions, and they both think that Zhao Dayu's ability is not as good as his own.

These northern players have been working with Shen Xiangfu and Chi Shangbin and others to keep warm, and now they are starting to woo Wu Jie again, of course, because there are people behind him and his strength is very prominent.

If you can pull him to the northern gang, you will have a chance to squeeze out the position of the Guangdong team, and even force Su Yongshun to leave class.

Wu Jie has always hated this kind of factional thing, especially those who have to make factions and small circles between the north and the south.

This kind of thing can definitely make a team with excellent combat effectiveness fall apart in an instant.

But there is nothing he can do at the moment, because the players of the Guangdong team are also huddling together to squeeze out the northern faction.

Let's put it this way, now most of these players, regardless of north and south, have this bad habit of ganging up, and make their position more stable by squeezing out and suppressing their teammates.

Even not only football, all sports have a virtue, down to coaches and athletes, up to sports officials, most of them are engaged in all kinds of small circles and big circles.

There is no shortage of intrigues, mutual exclusions, and even cover-up schemes here.

If it is a confrontational sport, in order to get an opportunity to eliminate competitors, many people do everything they can, and it is not uncommon to have black hands and black feet.

Wu Jie had already experienced these dark sides in his previous life, and he didn't want to add to this disgusting experience in this life, and he was not in the mood to slowly deal with interpersonal relationships with the team members.

It's best to make these people dare not provoke themselves, or take the initiative to slap themselves.

As for the faction matter, he doesn't care about it, because in his eyes, there is no difference between the abilities of these people, at most there is a difference of two or three points, and they are basically a level player.

The people who really have the strength to be his helpers in this team are only Gu Guangming, Shen Xiangfu, Zhao Dayu, and veterans Rong Zhixing, Chi Shangbin, and Li Fusheng's level is not bad.

But what he values most is Gu Guangming, because this person's extreme potential value has reached 84 points, and his talent is even stronger than Che Fangen.

Zhao Dayu's ultimate potential value has also reached 82, Shen Xiangfu's ultimate potential value is 80, and Jia Xiuquan's ultimate potential value on the back line has reached 83.

Yung Zhixing's ultimate potential value has also reached 84, but he is 33 years old this year, and it is rare for him to be able to maintain a good competitive form.

Except for these few people, the rest of the people are basically mediocre people who are useless in Wu Jie's eyes, and they can only make do in the Asian fish pond at most.

After the Chinese team came to Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, they stayed in a local luxury hotel, and a group of people did not look like uninformed buns, after all, many of them were old people who had joined the national team for several years, and their knowledge would not be too low when they went south and north.

Of course, Chinese players like to play abroad, and the reason is naturally that they eat well and live well!

For the matches hosted by the AFC, the accommodation and travel expenses of each team will be borne by it, and the tournament organizer will bear another part.

But this Kuwait is a big tycoon in West Asia, and the royal family directly turned the cost borne by the AFC into a small part, and the accommodation, accommodation, and travel expenses of all participating teams are much more arrogant than that of Iran in the previous session.

The Chinese team arrived in Kuwait on the 11th, and when they learned that the Kuwaiti royal family reimbursed all the accommodation expenses for the team that arrived after the 1st, many people felt that they were late.

This is an international practice, and the team arrives early to adapt to the local environment, and the expenses during this period are borne by themselves, and they are generally reimbursed from the first three days of the game.

So usually, the Chinese team just arrived at the competition venue before the start of the game, how did they know that the Kuwaitis were so arrogant, and they began to reimburse half a month in advance, but they missed an opportunity to eat a big family!

The Chinese team's preliminaries were held in Kuwait City, a West Asian metropolis that many Chinese players believe is more advanced than Hong Kong.

But Wu Jie had no interest in the West Asian metropolis of the 80s, he was only interested in defeating these opponents, especially in beating South Korea.

China's first opponent was the Philippines, a country where there are few great examples of sports, and football is no exception.

Wu Jie had been playing in the team competition before, but he didn't plan to suppress himself anymore in the Asian Cup this time.

Such a stage is not big or small, but it is not small.

It's just right for a blockbuster!
