Chapter 377: The real test

　　 On June 23, the first day of the eighth-finals, a total of two duels will be contested, namely Denmark VS France and Mexico VS Poland.
　　 The match between Denmark and France was obviously a strong matchup. The Mexicans naturally drew a good sign. The weakest in the second half were Morocco and Poland. They accurately completed the second choice.
　　Finally, under the leadership of Platini, the French Legion used an artistic offensive battle to eliminate Denmark, which had both Italy and Spain underfoot in the group stage, with a 4:1 score.
　　 This score was exaggerated in the World Cup knockout stage. Both teams were attacking like waves in the game, especially the French who continued to attack even after the lead.
　　 The Chinese team naturally watched this game, because France is the team in the second half.
　　 After watching this game, Wu Jie finally knew why the French could beat Brazil head-on with offensive football on the original plane.
　　 Platini is no longer at the peak of his personal abilities, at least he is a step backwards compared to the last World Cup, but his overall outlook, ball control and organizational skills are more prominent than four years ago.
These improvements not only have the first-class ball-handling, breakthrough and shooting abilities, but also the ability to judge and control the situation on the court, without losing too much athletic ability. They can quickly and accurately see the court. Make quick and accurate response to changes in the situation on the Internet.
　　 Under the leadership of such a central midfielder, the offensive French stars finally found a real balance. Their overall offensive strength is stronger than the previous World Cup.
　　 Wu Jie thinks this is the luck of the French team. This World Cup 31-year-old Platini is at the most balanced and strongest moment of his career.
　　 But his physical condition can only last at this level for one or two years, because Platini, who is not good at athletic ability, will soon decline in physical terms after his 30s.
　　 The Mexicans have nothing to say here. Their strength in this session is at the most advanced in the third gear, and they never have the strength to qualify for the first line of the group.
　　 But the benefits of the host are not only reflected in the drawing, but also in the penalty of the game.
　　 So defeating the weak Poland is not a surprise. Mexico defeated Poland 2:1 and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
　　 On the second day of the eighth-finals, there will be three groups of contests, namely Argentina VS Morocco, West Germany VS Belgium, Italy VS the Soviet Union.
　　 The Chinese team is most concerned about Argentina, because if they can beat Brazil to advance, they are likely to face Argentina or France in the next round.
　　 This seems to be too far, but it has always been the tradition of the Chinese team to plan early.
Argentina played Uruguay on the original plane, and Morocco's strength was a lot worse in comparison, so Argentina did not appear to be very strenuous. In the first half, it secured the victory with 3:0, and the final game was 4:0 cleanly. Killed Morocco.
　　 Maradona's performance in this game is still world-class, or it is a bit oppressive.
　　 In the game, he not only showed a broad vision and super ability to read the game, but also always made impossible passes possible. The most terrifying thing is that his breakthrough ability is completely incomprehensible when facing Morocco.
　　 This can also be seen from the data. Maradona’s number of successful passes in this World Cup is only slightly worse than Wu Jie, and he can complete at least 10+ successes in each game.
　　 In addition, like Wu Jie, Maradona's outstanding performance is not in the insignificant area, but frequently dribbles the ball in the middle to break through. Almost every game will stage many 1V2, 1v3, and even 1v4 wonderful performances.
In this game, Maradona not only sent out 2 assists again, but in the second half, he saw all the defenses as air as a single breakthrough, completely relying on the ability of a terrifying person to break through all the defenses of Morocco, and even 4 people. Scored his second goal in this World Cup, and his assists have risen to a staggering 6 times.
On Argentina’s forward line, Bardano, known as the "hidden killer by Maradona," this game also relied on Maradona’s organization to score twice, successfully surpassing the performance by 5 goals. With Papan and Lineker, temporarily ranked first with Wu Jie on the scorer list.
　　 China did not pay too much attention to the other two duels. Although the competition between these two groups was much more intense in the process, since the winners were all teams from the first half of the competition, the Chinese team would naturally not pay too much attention.
The only thing that can arouse the Chinese team’s vigilance here is the process of Italy’s elimination of the Soviet Union. Wu Jie agrees with the Soviet players’ condemnation of the referee after the game, because this is indeed a game that involves football in politics and ideology. Everything is very unfair to the Soviets.
　　Of course, they must be careful that they are also targeted. Although the bald eagles need to use rabbits at this time, they are only used in the end. The Chinese team will definitely encounter similar injustices for ideological reasons, that is, more than less.
　　 On the second day of the eighth knockout, it was West Germany, Argentina, and Italy that eventually reached the quarterfinals.
　　 The media and fans in South America are very upset about this, because three of the five teams currently qualifying are European teams, of which Mexico still qualified with the special care of the host.
　　 But they are not depressed yet, because tomorrow the three South American teams will start their respective games.
　　######
　　 June 25th, today is the last match day of the eighth elimination game, and it is also a very hot Monday. Fortunately, the temperature has become very comfortable in the evening and it is very suitable for football matches.
　　 The one-eighth elimination match of the Chinese team was arranged in the evening.
　　 The game between Uruguay and Spain has already started in the afternoon. This is a very anxious battle.
　　 The Spanish team performed very poorly in the group stage and only managed to qualify for the third place. Their opponent Uruguay was the first to qualify for the England group.
　　 But some teams are able to burst into a small universe in the knockout matches. Spain's overall strength is not weak, especially the overall technical level is not inferior to Uruguay. After all, it is a team known for its skills in European football.
　　 However, what determines the outcome of this game is actually individual heroism. The Spanish team still fell behind after the opening. The strength of Uruguay this year is indeed outstanding, even facing Brazil and Argentina.
　　 But after falling behind 0-1, the Spaniard relied on Butragueno's brave performance to stage a big four and finally won by 4:3.
　　 The two teams also scored 7 goals in a single game, creating the second record of the World Cup in single goals after China and Canada.
　　 Chen Haonan, a Real Madrid teammate, also became a world-class striker by virtue of this wonderful performance. At the same time, he overtook Wu Jie and Valdano with 6 goals in the scorer list.
　　 After today’s first set of duels ended with a pleasing process and results, the match between England and Paraguay also began in the evening, and the match between China and Brazil was at 8:30 pm local time.
　　 From the time point of these three games, the Chinese team seems to be more valued.
　　 This is true, but it is mainly tainted by the Brazilians. The Samba Army’s game ratings have always been very high, coupled with the Chinese team’s alternative aura, naturally it has become a more watched contest.
　　 The Chinese team did not hold a lengthy pre-war meeting before the game, because they have firmly remembered the key points that should be emphasized and the tactics that should be arranged.
　　 What we need to do at this time is to adjust our mentality. For example, it is a good choice to see England playing Paraguay.
　　 The Chinese fans also watched this game, but they still can’t distinguish between Uruguay and Paraguay, nor can they understand the strengths of these two teams.
　　 But it can be distinguished after this game. Uruguay was in the same group as England in the group stage. The two teams competed in the group stage. The Uruguayans can be said to have the upper hand, and the victory is the result of reason.
　　 But Paraguay faced England in the knockout round today, and it was basically beaten from start to finish.
　　The main reason for this is that Uruguay's starter is higher than England in terms of average technical ability, tactical literacy, and coordination ability, and it is not much behind in physical confrontation.
　　 At this time, mainly relying on the body, the English people who are not so exquisite in technology were killed to death, and the result was completely different from Spain in the afternoon.
However, Paraguay has little advantage in average technical ability, and the physical confrontation suffered a big loss. As a result, it was completely unable to control the scene. After the opening, it was rushed by the Englishmen. In the end, it was defeated and suffered a 0:3. The complete defeat.
　　 Lineker also played well in this battle, relying on a brace to increase the number of goals to 5 goals, tied with Valdano and Wu Jie in second place.
At this time, the scorer list has changed a lot. Spaniard Butragueno completed the surpass with the only four-year victory of this World Cup. Wu Jie, Lineker and Valdano all tied for second with 5 goals. , France’s Papin also scored 4 goals. This World Cup’s competition on the scorer list is stronger than the original level.
　　 But this is actually normal. It is similar to the "catfish effect". Wu Jie is obviously the catfish that stimulated the players of his time.
　　 The original planes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi from 2010 to 2017 are similar. If there is no such kind of competition between them, they may not be able to create record-breaking scoring performances.
　　Wu Jiechi now in the 1980s, to a certain extent, forced out more potential of the stars of this era, and even accelerated the evolution of modern football with his performance beyond the times.
　　 Under his oppression, the superstars of this era would not even have the qualifications to compete with Wu Jie if they could not go far beyond their original plane.
　　 Maradona is a good example. It is said that he finally quit weed last season.
　　 If there is a Maradona who does not take drugs on this plane, then Wu Jie can't guess how much he can be better than the original plane?
　　 But as long as you think about a Maradona who is drug-addicting + unself-disciplined can become the king, what kind of existence will it be if it is Maradona who is not drug-addicting + a little more self-disciplined?
　　 After the England team successfully entered the quarterfinals, the last group of this round of elimination, and the most anticipated match, will also begin.
　　 This contest between the Chinese team and the Brazil team has been held in Mexico City, using the famous "Aztec Stadium" in Mexico.
This stadium is considered to be one of the most lively stadiums in the world, not only because it can accommodate up to 120,000 spectators, but also because the stadium is located at an altitude of 2,200 meters. The striking bowl-shaped roof design of the stadium can be well collected It even amplifies the various sounds from the top of the stadium, allowing 100,000 fans to fill the stadium with harsh screams and various noises.
The Chinese team said: They don’t have to go in to guess what the scene is. The negative curses and noise in this stadium tonight must be directed towards them. As for the positive blessing caused by the fanatical atmosphere, It must belong to the Brazilians.
　　 At 7:10 in the evening, the two teams held a pre-match press conference in different venues.
　　 The number of media people and reporters present on the Chinese team is not inferior, but most of them are media from Asia and Europe. Who makes the Chinese team's players mostly play in Europe.
The European media are also more inclined to advance to the Chinese team, but it is not about the Chinese people, but after Spain defeated Uruguay and England also defeated Paraguay to advance, there are already West Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and England on the European side. A total of five teams broke into the quarterfinals.
　　 The South American media certainly support the Brazilian team. If Brazil is eliminated tonight, the quarterfinals will be the world of European teams.
　　 So now is not the time for infighting, it is about the honor of South American football and European football.
　　 Of course, the Asian media can only support the Chinese team. Although they do not want China to be the representative, the problem is that only the Chinese team can compete with these strong teams in Europe and South America.
　　 China now represents the entire Asian football, representing the status of the yellow race in the field of football, symbolizing that the yellow race can also reach the same level of white and black in the field of football, and can even do better than them.
　　 At this time, looking at the Chinese team, the only seedling in Asia, especially when looking at this team with a distinctive color, many Asian fans suddenly discovered that the Chinese players are the same color as the light!
　　 This analogy is very problematic, because Wu Jie's rare utterance at the pre-match press conference was caused by a Canadian journalist who was very rude to predict who would be promoted tonight?
Of course, Wu Jie would not give face to such a direct face question. He opened his mouth and said something equally rude to many people: "Who can advance to the quarterfinals in China or Brazil? Only God knows the answer, but I don't believe it. God, but I am happy to send you to see God."
　　 Wu Jie's remarks will definitely cause controversy after the game, but he has no intention of thinking about it. The next game is everything.
If the Brazilians can be cut off tonight, it will be said that "Who can advance to the quarterfinals in China or Brazil? Only God knows the answer, you are talking to God now", and you will not encounter too much after the game. Violent attack.
　　 But if he is eliminated by the Brazilian, even if he recites the entire Bible before the game, he will be called a "pagan" crazy attack after the game!
　　 This is where the winner is king. No matter how arrogant it is, as long as it wins, it's easy to say, and no matter how low-key it is, it will be criticized.
　　 The Chinese team ended the pre-match press conference and came to the dressing room for the final set-up. The time has come to 7:30, which is one hour before the official game.
　　 Head coach Nian Weisi closed the door and began to make the final pre-match arrangements to the players.
　　 At this time, only a photographer from the CCTV camera crew and a special reporter were allowed to stay in the locker room for shooting.
　　 But everyone already knows how to play today. This time the arrangement is more for several coaches to advise players in different positions, and more encouragement.
　　 Wu Jie and the three of them don't need to ask anything. Instead, they are explaining the details of the game to their teammates.
　　 Especially Wu Jie, he seems to know every player in the Brazilian team very well, and soon the coaches of the Chinese team can only listen to him embarrassingly explain to his teammates.
"Kareka is a very versatile striker. Not only is he fast and powerful, he also has excellent dribbling and shooting skills. He is a bit like Rummenigge back then. He must be separated from other Brazilian players. , Pay attention to the positions of other people when making offsides. This Brazilian has outstanding ability to make offsides."
"Socrates is handed over to Honan to deal with. You two wingers have to cheer up. The Blanco and Junior have similar styles. The full backs who seem to play are actually not inferior to the top wingers. Ability. The same applies to Yurginho and Josimar on the right. Brazil's full-backs are full-backs. Everyone can participate in all the team's side assists. Everyone. We must pay attention to their bottoms while changing lines to penetrate the middle. These people have outstanding in-cutting, breakthrough and long-range shooting capabilities."
Wu Jie shook his head when he talked about it. Brazil's two wing configurations are so luxurious. They are all players who can attack and retreat. They are basically four stars of the same type as Marcelo. This is terrifying. Up.
　　The Chinese players are very serious at this time, but if you want to say how much they fear the Brazilians, they are not too afraid!
　　 It's not that the Chinese team has no way to deal with Brazil's wing attack, but it didn't show up in the group stage.
Of course, the coaches of the Chinese team will be even more embarrassed. Nian Weisi feels that he may not even count as a puppet, because the second edition of chain defense they prepared for the World Cup, including the first edition of the Olympic Games, is basically The system developed by Wu Jie and Chen Haonan.
　　Even their innovative methods in training were also developed by these three people, and even the tests were designed by them.
　　 Let’s put it this way, how the coaching staff of the Chinese team is changed does not have much impact, because the training, testing, tactical system, and even management methods are all developed and improved by the three of them.
　　 And today is the time to test how effective the efforts of the past five years are. Tonight's Samba Army will be a big test for the Chinese team.
