Chapter 273: Small Olympic Goals

After all, it is the first time to participate in the Olympic Games since the founding of New China, and it is of great significance during such a Cold War.

Li Zhenyue and Mu Wanqiu will definitely not have time to participate in this Olympic Games, but their double-row contributions are no worse than ten and eight gold medals.

Wu Jie is ready to let them keep the double row until 1987, because in the next few years, there will also be a round battle on the border of the two mountains, although the big battles are gone, but there are countless small battles, which are suitable for snipers to play, and the final record of the two of them will definitely not be low.

On the Beijing side, Wu Jie soon joined the last month of training for the national football team.

He is very irresponsible in the national team, missing at least half of the training camp after the 82 World Cup, and almost never participating in the national team again.

But no one dared to express an opinion on him, because the level and contribution of others did not drop at all.

Last season, Wu Jie scored a total of 59 goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga; In the German Cup, it was 6 goals and 3 assists; The Champions League also set a new record of 17 goals and five assists.

He scored 82 goals in those three competitions alone, and 85 goals in a single season when he included the Toyota Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

The "European Footballer of the Year" is still limited to European players, but comparing the two Ballon d'Or winners Rossi and Platini with Wu Jie really fulfills the saying "no comparison, no harm".

Now Wu Jie's fame in football is not limited to regions, even South America has a large number of his fans, coupled with long-term phenomenal performance, FIFA must consider designing a heavyweight award for the international players represented by Wu Jie.

If FIFA doesn't take the lead, many football magazines like France Football are ready to go it alone.

Isabella's media conglomerate recently acquired the British football magazine World Football, and is preparing to use the magazine to create a "World Footballer" award to compete with France Football's "European Footballer".

Now they are discussing the intention of cooperation with FIFA, and if this award can be endorsed by FIFA, it will immediately be able to compete with the "European Footballer of the Year", after all, the word "world" has a natural suppression of "Europe" in the literal sense of the word.

Wu Jie naturally supports this matter, if there is really a "World Footballer" award ceremony at the end of the year, he will definitely show up to cheer, anyway, the winner must be himself, and he can also make a seed by the way after receiving the award, which is not cheap for outsiders at all!

In addition to the "World Footballer of the Year", the "Asian Footballer of the Year" is also ready to be promulgated this year.

Led by the AFC, this award is basically a remake of the "European Footballer of the Year", which will also only be awarded to players of Asian nationality, but at the same time limit the winning players to play in Asia.

This made Wu Jie feel full of malice, because in this way, most Chinese stars were out of play.

But even so, Wu Jie also feels that this award will most likely fall on Chinese players.

Most of the Asian players who have played in Asia this year and performed the most are still Chinese players, especially Ren Zhihui, Jiang Wei, Cui Yonghua, Wang Dongning, Wu Qunli, and Ma Lin.

When this group of people also goes to Europe, Wang Yuanlin, Wu Sheng, Mao Xiuquan, Fan Zhiyi and others will also start to appear on the stage, and in the future, the "Asian Footballer" award will be contracted by Chinese players for a long time.

After Wu Jie joined the training camp, the first thing he did was to accept the chain defense system created by the two younger brothers.

The reason why he has been irresponsible in the past two years is mainly that someone has helped him work, which is the advantage of having tools.

Besides, he is a free man in the frontcourt, so it is naturally not his turn to build a defensive system, it must be Lin Yaodong and Chen Haonan's matter.

It has to be mentioned here that chain defense existed long before World War II, and it was also on the altar for a period of time.

But after any glory came the trough, and the original chain defense was studied and found to have a lot of shortcomings, which eventually led to a decade of abandonment, only to be picked up and remade in the seventies by Italians, who were not the inventors.

This is also the process of the birth, development, and decline of all tactics, most of which are born from the flash of genius at first, then carefully groping and verifying trial and error, and then gradually maturing and widely used, and finally being brought to the extreme by a genius coach to reach the peak.

But this kind of peak generally only lasts for three or five years, because the strongest tactic is bound to be studied by everyone, and there will always be another tactic or formation to suppress it and pull it down from the altar.

The final outcome is that the experience is condensed and absorbed by the tactics that come from behind, and a tactic that was abandoned decades ago has been absorbed into a new posture, and suddenly has a second spring, like a chain defense, and re-enters the stage of history.

The parallel positioning, zone defense, and anti-offside tactics that are now popular in football have given the ancient chain defense an opportunity to rejuvenate itself.

The Italians have already begun to reform it, but the Chinese team at this time is undoubtedly one step ahead.

The chain defense of the Chinese team naturally adopts a two-chain position, the first is composed of a midfielder led by Chen Haonan, including Wu Jie, a free man in the frontcourt, who also needs to take the frontcourt to press and defend according to the situation, and then launch a package to the opponent's star in the midfield.

However, such a defense can easily be broken by the opposing star using individual ability or team cooperation.

Therefore, the second chain is made up of the back line, who is responsible for seeing the opportunity to press forward and cooperate with the midfield to break the ball and destroy.

However, unlike Italy in the 90s, which liked to use the lag free man to check and fill the gaps, and switched the parallel position and the diamond position at any time, the person responsible for the delay and the leakage of the Chinese team is the goalkeeper, and at the same time, the formation will maintain a parallel position for a long time, and pay more attention to creating offside.

Lin Yaodong is the commander of this chain, he is responsible for directing the back line when to press forward and when to create offside, and at the same time use his large-scale attacks to cooperate with his teammates in the back line to press forward with peace of mind, as well as anti-offside tactics.

This tactic is naturally powerful when practiced, and it can not only make up for the gap in athleticism and physical fitness, but also make up for the disadvantage of poor individual defense.

But the requirements for the implementation of this chain defense are also very demanding, first of all, there need to be top stars on both chains, and the awareness and coordination ability of the rest of the players must also be good, otherwise once they leak, they will lose all the games.

In addition, the physical requirements are very high, because a large number of "zone linkage" and "zone pinch" need to be achieved by a lot of running.

In fact, the Chinese players are already catching up in terms of athleticism, and many of the newcomers have reached the level of athleticism in Europe and South America, and now they need to be given time to grow.

But in terms of physical fitness, even if it is the players of the last batch of national teams, half of them will be able to complete the task of running 10,000 meters per game.

Now the Chinese team may still have a comprehensive gap of half a grade with European teams in terms of athleticism and confrontation ability.

But in terms of physical fitness, it is almost the first in the world, because half of the players in the first and second team squads have the ability to run 10,000 meters, which is a level that European teams do not have at present, which is enough to make up for the physical gap in that half.

In addition, the individual defense of Chinese players is indeed not good enough, which is mainly a problem of the domestic league, and the lack of high-quality games among the players can be regarded as a system problem.

But China's system has compensated for this to some extent, as players play fewer high-quality games but have more high-quality training, especially when training is several times longer than European and South American teams.

As a result, the Chinese team's coordination ability is very strong, and the tacit understanding is very high, and the players can fully use the regional coordination emphasized by the chain defense to make up for the shortcomings of individual defense.

This is also the reason why Wu Jie decided to play chain defense early on, this kind of system and configuration is simply a waste if you don't play regional joint defense.

This Olympic Games is a mid-term exam, although the strong teams in the World Cup cannot send the main team two years ago to participate, but they can send the second team and the young team to participate, and the strength will not be too bad, which can just verify whether the Chinese team is taking the right path.

But the coolest thing now is that no matter what path you take, the dominant ones are no longer those colons who don't know how to play.

Those people are no longer able to point fingers, and the Chinese team can make the road of "chain defense" its own label and first go to the peak, then go to the end of the road, and then take the initiative to change and start a new exploration, but the whole process will not have anything to do with the colons.

Overall, Wu Jie is very confident in the gold medal in this Olympic Games, and he believes that the national football team has the worst and top three results in the Olympic Games, after all, he also has the first midfielder and the first goalkeeper in La Liga as his right-hand man.

This time it was basketball that was really not sure of winning the gold, and Ruda is still fighting alone, and he alone can be called the core of the whole team, which is a real single-core team.

Although the U.S. team still couldn't send NBA stars this year, this time it finally sent a real college all-star team.

Rueda is up against a bunch of future Hall of Famer players, even though they're all in their formative stages and he's fully fit.

But you still have to be careful of the fate of two fists and four hands, especially some monsters can jump over the level and beat the whole body once they evolve into the mature stage.

Although he is also such an existence, but the hero can't stand the crowd!

Now, on the contrary, Shen Lang and Qin Jian don't need to worry, both of them have absolute strength, even if the other party takes drugs, they don't need to worry too much.

Qin Jian is naturally the most sure one, his experience in dream training is too buggy, and he doesn't need to fight on multiple fronts, he only needs to deal with the 15 opponents of his own weight.

Shen Lang needs to report multiple projects, which adds a lot of uncertainty.

"Do you really want to apply for 6 projects?"

In the National Aquatics Center in Shaoxing, Feng Jingyuan, the head coach, still felt that Shen Lang was too greedy.

In the entire history of the Olympic Games, no one has ever reported six individual events in the major event of "swimming".

"Feng Lao, my goal is not just to get the first swimming gold medal for China."

Shen Lang didn't say anything more, but the implication was obviously "he wants them all"!

Feng Jingyuan also had nothing to say when he heard this, because he won these qualifications with his ability.

The quota for the Olympic Games is basically set by the sports associations of each individual sport, and there are usually qualifiers and qualifiers, and the qualifying rounds are different for each event.

Some of these events require a number of top finishers in individual tournaments on each continent to qualify for the Olympic Games, while others require separate qualifiers and individual points.

Swimming is an event that needs to be selected through the qualifying competition, and Shen Lang has already qualified for the 100-meter freestyle, 200-meter freestyle, 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter medley, and 400-meter medley.

But this kind of thing is not to say that it is the first of its kind in China, even in the international arena, it is also big news, although the current reports of foreign media are mostly ridiculed and degraded.

Shen Lang knew that this year was a good opportunity to contract the swimming pool, because most of the countries in the Soviet camp boycotted this Olympic Games, and almost half of the masters were absent from this event, which was of course the best opportunity for him to take over.

Wu Jie's goal in this Olympics is to help China win 25 gold medals and rush to the second place in the medal table in one fell swoop.

So considering that China won 15 gold medals in the original plane, Wu Jie and his tools had to find a way to get ten gold medals, and Shen Lang's swimming event was the top priority, which was the protagonist of the Olympic Games.
