Before Wu Jie entered the dream training, he first bought himself a [Elevator Ball Master] skill and upgraded it to a four-star level, which cost him 23,190 Olympic coins.

This skill allows him to convert long-range free kicks into "elevator balls" and increase the success rate of shots after triggering them.

A few decades later, the main schools of free kicks were "banana balls" and "defoliant balls", and "elevator balls" were a variant of "deciduous balls".

The "banana ball" is characterized by the use of an arc in the left and right directions to go around the human wall, and because the trajectory is similar to the shape of the banana, it is commonly known as the "banana ball".

"Deciduous ball" is a vertical rotation, simply understood as an arc from above to bypass the human wall, because the trajectory is like a dead leaf falling from a tree, so it is called "deciduous ball"

"Elevator ball" is a variant of the deciduous ball, which also bypasses the human wall from above, but there is almost no rotation in the flight process, and the trajectory is also different from the deciduous ball.

Wu Jie chose "elevator ball" because it is more suitable for long-distance use, and his shooting power is large enough, as long as he can kick a successful elevator ball, even if the quality is not particularly high, the goalkeepers of this era will definitely be caught off guard when they encounter this strange arc.

For the past two hundred and fifty hours, Wu Jie has been using the teams in the Asian fishpond as human walls in dream training, and then letting the goalkeepers of the Asian teams take turns guarding the goal.

This is just the right way for him to understand the position and habits of each Asian team when defending free kicks, including how many pounds and taels the goalkeepers of these teams have.

On December 24, the Chinese team played against the second opponent of the group, the Macau team.

Before this game, Wu Jie privately communicated with Rong Zhixing about the free kick penalty.

Rong Zhixing's expression was a little unnatural after hearing this, but he still nodded and agreed to let him be the first penalty taker for free kicks.

Wu Jie was a little reluctant in his heart, he asked for the right to take the free kick so quickly, he knew that he must be too anxious, and it was also contrary to the "Emotional Intelligence" he was familiar with.

Rong Zhixing was indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had already taken the initiative to give up the right to take the penalty to Wu Jie, and originally planned to hand over the right to take the free kick in a year or two.

But I didn't expect Wu Jie to be so impatient, which made Rong Zhixing feel a little unhappy.

That night, the Chinese team faced the same Macau team, which was also stubborn in the whole line, and Chen Jingang and Zhao Dayu scored a goal each in the first half.

Wu Jie also got three opportunities to take free kicks, but unfortunately one of these three free throws was outrageously high, one was slightly off, and one was directly blocked by the human wall.

He failed to take advantage of these three free-kick opportunities in a decent position.

But not many people particularly care, because the success rate of free kicks is not high, as long as the success rate can reach 10%, you can compete for penalty takers, 15% belongs to the level of free kick masters, and 20% is already a historical level of free kicks.

In the second half, Wu Jie staged a good show of connecting three people, successfully created a penalty in the penalty area, and personally took the penalty.

Soon after, he assisted Gu Guangming to score in the penalty area, helping the Chinese team win two consecutive victories with an easy 4:0.

In this game, he still played the position of a free man in the front court, possessed the ball a lot of times and time, passed a lot of good balls throughout the game, and got a goal and two assists.

At this time, European scouts who have been watching him have noticed that his position and style of play have changed significantly from the Asian Cup, and now Wu Jie is not so much a free man in the front court, but rather an attacking midfielder.

They were also very surprised by the change, Wu Jie showed his versatility in the Asian Cup, but still did not expect him to be close to 1.9 meters tall to be able to play in the midfield position.

However, in these two games, Wu Jie's style of play was very elegant, showing open vision and organizational skills, and dribbling far beyond the level of top Asian players, and almost no one could cut off his ball without fouling.

Coupled with his efficient shooting ability, European scouts found themselves unable to find an all-round talent like him, and there has never been a monster like Wu Jie in world football.

Three days later, the Chinese team faced the third opponent in the group stage - the Iraqi team.

Wu Jie still did not score his first free-kick, he took a total of four free-kicks in this game, twice deflected wide of goal, once on the post and once blocked by the goalkeeper.

But it doesn't matter, Iraq is a ten-man match.

Less than five minutes after the start of the first half, Wu Jie used a brilliant breakthrough to cheat a red card outside the penalty area.

After that, the Chinese team kept bombing Iraq's goal, with a total of 36 shots on goal and 18 shots on target.

In the end, Wu Jie scored twice, Zhao Dayu, Rong Zhixing, and Zuo Shusheng each scored a goal, and the Chinese team defeated Iraq 5:1.

At this time, the Chinese team has locked the top two positions in the group, and they have won all three games and ranked first in the group with 6 points, with a goal difference of 11 goals.

South Korea finished second in the group with five points from two wins and one draw, with a goal difference of five goals.

After losing to China, Iraq won one and drew one and lost one, with only three points, and could only compete with South Korea for second place, although there is no difference between second and third.

At the post-match press conference, Hong Kong reporters appeared very quiet this time, because the Hong Kong team lost two and drew one, and only accumulated 1 point.

If it weren't for the fact that Macau, which had lost all three games, would have been eliminated.

Now the blind know that the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team are not at all the same team, and the Chinese team at this time can proudly call itself the only team in Asia.

"If I'm not mistaken, South Korea will retain their strength in the next game, and they will definitely want to use their tricks in the group final."

After the game, Wu Jie faced reporters' questions and said something that disgusted the entire South Korean team.

Because he's right, Kim Jong Nam does intend to strategically abandon this match.

They have been preparing for almost two months to deal with the Chinese team, and of course they can't use their tricks in an inconsequential contest.

But if they are made by Wu Jie like this, it will be difficult for them to step down, even if they don't come up with a trick, they will definitely have to work harder, otherwise they will be beaten by a big score, not only will they not be able to explain to the country at that time, but the damage to morale will not be able to make up, and the tricks prepared at that time may not be useful.

Su Yongshun is interested in rotation, and he doesn't want to play an inconsequential game against South Korea, so it is better to train the young players.

Of course, Wu Jie raised his hands to object, but he still had a task to do.

Now the Chinese team and South Korea are only tied 2:2, which is just a no-win situation, but if the rotation team accidentally loses to South Korea, he will lose 100 Olympic coins every day.

Su Yongshun saw that Wu Jie strongly asked to play, so he could only continue to send this physically energetic little guy, but he still rotated part of the main lineup.

On December 30, the Chinese team played the final match of the group stage with South Korea.

This is a key event related to the qualification of the World Cup, Cha Fangun naturally returned from Germany, and South Korea once again put on its strongest performance.

But this time the media and fans in South Korea did not dare to be as high-profile as last time, after the Asian Cup, some European media have begun to report on Wu Jie, although more to look down on his voice, but the actions of those giant teams are enough to show that they value Wu Jie.

A team like Eintracht Frankfurt has no chance to compete at all, and if Wu Jie is willing to go to such a team, he will definitely get the promise of starting.

At this time, the Asian media was polarized in the face of Wu Jie, and some of them frantically praised Wu Jie, eager to blow him to the sky, the most typical example is Japan.

In some areas, the media remained silent, pretending not to see that such a genius had been born in Asia, and South Korea and Taiwan were typical examples of this kind of feigning death.

Of course, there are also some weird media, which are basically from Hong Kong and India, and who knows why?

There are some changes to the starting lineup sent by the Chinese team tonight -

Frontcourt: Yang Yumin, Chen Jingang, Wu Yuhua.

Midfielders: Zuo Shusheng, Wu Jie, Liu Lifu.

Backcourt: Zang Cailing, Jia Xiuquan, Liu Zhicai, Lin Lefeng.

Goalkeeper: Lu Jianren.

When South Korea saw the starting lineup of the Chinese team, they were happy at first, but then they felt humiliated.

Rong Zhixing and Gu Guangming did not play, and the two main central defenders also took turns to rest, and they immediately understood that the Chinese team did not intend to take it seriously.

At this time, the joy is that the probability of winning has increased greatly, and the anger is that the Chinese team looks down on people too much, and this lineup clearly does not take them into account.

But less than five minutes into the opening game, the Chinese team took the lead with a free kick led by Chen Jingang's header, and it was Wu Jie who passed the ball for him this time.

This free kick was not in a good position, Wu Jie did not hit the goal directly, but he didn't expect that the first contribution of this technology was actually an assist.

Chen Jingang ran all over the field, and kept slapping his head hard.

It was his second header in the World Championships, and although he wasted some chances, it was still a sign that his header had improved a lot.

The main credit in this regard is the Chinese team's game of "header shooting", Chen Jingang and several defenders have practiced for almost half a year, and now the header prediction and accuracy have been greatly improved.

Su Yongshun has long regarded the bottom cross from both wings, as well as the header after corner kicks and free kicks, as one of the main weapons of the team's scoring now.

This trick is very useful in the face of Asian teams, because including the West Asian team, the height of the Asian team is the best in the current Chinese team, there are as many as seven or eight players above 1.8 meters, and Wu Jie is almost 1.9 meters.

Che Fangen helplessly watched the Chinese team easily break through his own goal, he can't figure out how the Chinese team has become so strong in only one year?

Is this just because of one Wu Jie?

But does one person really have that much of a role in football, an 11-a-side team sport?

He didn't know that the Chinese team's mental outlook was now refreshed, and the training was more scientific and active, which made the physical fitness that had always been weak constantly improving, and the self-confidence was almost bursting.

At this time, the Chinese team is basically in a state of green when facing any team in Asia, and everyone is in their best state.

But almost all of their opponents are red, as is the case with most of today's South Korean players in a slump.

This is of course a sign of fear, and now all Asian teams are afraid of the Chinese team.

Therefore, even if the Chinese team has a large-scale rotation, it can still press South Korea at the beginning under the leadership of Wu Jie.
