Chapter 363: World Cup group released

When Wu Jie returned to China, the Chinese team had been waiting for him in Haigeng for a long time.

After the Asian qualifiers ended, the Chinese team did not immediately start training. After the Football Association announced the 23-man roster, it first gave everyone a three-day vacation, and then collectively went to the Haigeng base for training.

During this period, there is only restorative light training. Everyone recovers from the injury, recuperates without injury, and adjusts the state.

At this time, the domestic fans are most concerned about, of course, the 23-man roster of the Chinese team.

This time FIFA has introduced some new rules and restrictions. One of the changes is that the number of squads has finally increased from 22 to 23, which allows each team to bring three goalkeepers.

The 23 list of the Chinese team is not only the news that domestic fans are looking forward to, but also the fans in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Nowadays, several big ball teams in China, such as the Chinese men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the Chinese men’s football team, are becoming more and more idol groups in some relatively developed Asian regions. Heap it.

Many Asian countries have an anti-rabbit atmosphere, but they can accept these Chinese athletes who are slaughtering all over the world as a yellow race.

This can only be said that the influence accumulated by the Chinese cultural circle over thousands of years has not been completely replaced by Western culture, and at least a century is not enough.

These countries are basically repulsive to China's revival, but the paradox is that if China really restores its original status, they will accept it very quickly.

The Chinese Football Association first announced the list of coaching staff whose fans don't care much, but whose importance is not worse than the players.

Team leader: Shen Tao, head coach: Nian Weisi, coaches: Zhou Huaide (offensive/technical coach), Gao Fengwen (defensive coach), Meng Fei (physical coach), Hu Zhigang (goalkeeper coach), tactics/video analyst (Liu Yu Win).

After this coaching staff list is released, it is the long-awaited 23-man list——

Liu Haiguang (84, 25 years old, 186cm, center forward, Shanghai, Munich 1860)

Yang Shuhua (83, 18 years old, 183cm, center/forward, Xinjiang)

Zhao Dayu (83, 25 years old, 160cm, forward, Guangdong, Lyon)

Ren Zhihui (86, 19 years old, 174cm, winger/forward, Shanxi, Ajax)

Gu Guangming (85, 27 years old, 169cm, winger/forward, Guangdong, Atletico Madrid)

Wei Xinghua (80, 22 years old, 173cm, winger/winger, Fujian, Bastia)

Wang Yuanlin (79, 17 years old, 178cm, winger/winger, Beijing)

Wu Jie (99, 23 years old, 190cm, all free men, Beijing, Arsenal)

Wu Qunli (81, 26 years old, 175cm, front waist, Guangdong)

Ge Guangxing (79, 20 years old, 166cm, front waist, Hainan)

Chen Haonan (98, 21 years old, 171cm, back waist/front waist, Guangxi, Real Madrid)

Zhen Aiguo (84, 24 years old, 185cm, defensive waist, Henan, Royal Spaniard)

Jia Xiuquan (84, 24 years old, 182cm, central defender, Liaoning, Udinese)

Wang Dongning (82, 25 years old, 183cm, center back / full back / midfielder / forward, Shandong, Marseille)

Cui Yonghua (83, 20 years old, 180cm, center back/full back, Liaoning, Nancy)

Zheng Guohong (81, 18 years old, 184cm, central defender, Shaanxi, Valencia)

Mai Chao (78, 22 years old, 176cm, full back/center back, Guangdong)

Li Junwei (85, 25 years old, 176cm, full-back/full-back, Guangdong, Kaiserslautern)

Lv Hongxiang (81, 26 years old, 178cm, full back/wide midfielder/wing forward/midfielder/forward, Tianjin, Dortmund)

Jiang Wei (82, 20 years old, 175cm, full-back/full-back, Liaoning, Monaco)

Lin Yaodong (98, 21 years old, 191cm, goalkeeper, Guangdong, Barcelona)

Feng Qingrong (81, 20 years old, 183cm, goalkeeper, Guizhou)

Zhang Huikang (79, 23 years old, 178cm, goalkeeper, Shanghai)

This time the Chinese team is going to Mexico. Naturally, the old team is the main one. Most of the young people on the list are going to meet the market. By the way, the big brothers will be plated with gold so that they can sell for a good price before the new rules are introduced.

But the pressure on these big buddies is not small, and many senior players don't even dare to speak loudly.

Liu Haiguang felt that Yang Shuhua was likely to steal his starter. Although he had the advantage in experience, the little guy's talent was too good. No matter the smell in front of the goal, the dribbling ability and shooting skills, including athletic ability. Much better than him.

Jia Xiuquan’s feeling is even stronger. In the past two years, he has seen too many 18-year-old genius defenders in Serie A. The extraordinary talent + the real genius shaped by the growth link, he found that he is really better than No more.

But this time when he returned to China, he actually saw a similar talent in Zheng Guohong. This kid has the taste of Bergomi, Costacuta, and Maldini. Cui Yonghua didn't give him such a feeling at the beginning.

But the crisis is the crisis, Jia Xiuquan's first thought was to recommend this 18-year-old defenseman to Udinese.

He is sure that Zheng Guohong can become a world-class defender. If there is such a partner, it will save too much worry.

As for other newcomers, their talents may be very good, but they are too young.

For example, Wang Yuanlin, the talent of this kid is undoubtedly a genius that can be found at a glance.

But if it weren't for Wu Jie to name him personally, Wang Yuanlin would not be able to enter the 23-man squad at his current level.

Gu Guangming can see that Wang Yuanlin’s talent is not under Ren Zhihui’s, but he is not very worried about his position, because this kid is too young, and it takes at least two or three years to replace him. Almost 30 years old, naturally he doesn't care about the position of the national team so much.

In addition, Wei Xinghua, Ge Guangxing, Mai Chao, Feng Qingrong, and Zhang Huikang are also new faces. They are basically the top newcomers that have emerged in the country in the past two years. Because of their outstanding performance in the qualifiers, it is logical to enter this big list to serve as a role. Cheerleaders.

Wu Jie also does not recommend that these new players are really used. This World Cup will still be based on the old team. First of all, these people need not worry about the tacit understanding.

Now many people in this team have been veteran teammates for more than five years. Even if they have gone to Europe to play in Europe in the past two years and reduce joint training, there will be no chemical reaction problems.

On the contrary, the experience of these players in Europe has greatly improved their understanding of the tactical level, and their awareness of both offensive and defensive ends has been greatly improved.

In the World Cup four years ago, Wu Jie had a lot of through-balls without warning, including Chen Haonan’s ingenious scheduling. Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu often couldn’t understand them. When they reacted, their opponents also reacted. There were a lot of opportunities. So missed.

In the past few years, their experience in Europe, their biggest improvement is to discover opportunities and the ability to seize them.

Now these players are mostly in the golden age of 24-28. Because Wu Jie has used self-discipline cards for them for a long time, these players have basically not suffered serious injuries, and at this time, their athletic ability has not declined.

But in terms of experience and technology, this group of people has entered the peak period. They are on the line of athletic ability, technically perfect, psychologically strong enough, and a tacit understanding of each other. To put it bluntly, they are in the middle of achieving results. period.

After Wu Jie returned to the team, he found a lot of his inspirational passing in the team training match, and these teammates finally understood part of it.

And after topping the center like at Arsenal, he can even feel the same experience as at Arsenal.

These teammates can not only provide him with a lot of personal ability passes in the midfield, especially the interleaving, follow-up, and involvement of the two wings, even more comfortable than when he was at Arsenal.

This kind of performance already has a trace of the outline of the perfect team in his mind, and it is enough to get a showdown with any opponent in the World Cup.

#######

On May 10, the World Cup grouping was officially released.

This time is half a month later than in the past, causing many teams to have no time to select suitable warm-up opponents, who made the Asian qualifiers too hard.

The Chinese team only had time to contact East Germany and the Dutch team for two warm-up matches before the start of the World Cup. The warm-up match with the United States was abandoned due to the high bid.

Most of the World Cup teams are similar. This also makes FIFA decide that the next qualifier will set the latest time to complete the game. This situation can no longer occur half a month later than other regions.

In fact, teams in various countries feel that it is good to be late. This half a month will not only allow European and South American teams to have more running-in time, but also allow players to have more time to recuperate.

In this World Cup, 24 teams participated in the competition.

FIFA has considered expanding the army, because the teams in Asia and Africa are making rapid progress, and the 24 places make the competition on all continents too fierce.

For example, the United States took to the streets in this qualifier. As the world's largest country, it was unable to participate in the World Cup. This makes Americans who don't like football very unacceptable.

The U.S. media also spoke out for their people: We may not watch, but you must not not enter!

Of course, the bigger reason is the Soviets. Not only can the Teddy Bears make it to the World Cup in the European Division, but they are also the second-tier team. This comparison makes Americans feel too shameless.

The first team in this World Cup has also changed a lot from the previous one.

Except for the host Mexico to automatically become the first-tier team, the other five first-tier teams are: Italy, West Germany, France, Brazil, and Uruguay.

England and Argentina both fell to second gear this time, and the other four second-tier teams are: the Soviet Union, Spain, Paraguay, and Poland.

This division is mainly based on the international rankings. At this time, the Chinese team is ranked 14th in the international rankings, so they can only be placed in third gear, even if they have not lost in the past two years.

Chinese fans are very upset about this, but they can only blame the overall strength of the Asian division. The calculation formula for points is significantly lower than that of Europe and South America. For example, the points formula for the Asian Cup is much lower than that of the European Cup and the America's Cup. The points earned by winning the Asian Cup are also much less.

It’s not impossible to solve this situation right away. The current World Cup is the highest event in the calculation formula. They won a game here to get more points than they won three games in the Asian Cup, including the final ranking. Will add extra points.

Now let’s not talk about whether the Chinese team can win the championship. As long as they can reach the semi-finals, the points they can get in the whole tournament will be enough to make them reach the top ten in the world in one fell swoop, so that they will be at least the second-tier team in the next tournament. .

Of course, if they can't even qualify for the group, they might drop a few places.

The six teams in the third tier of this tournament, except for the Chinese team that all the first and second tier teams are unwilling to meet, the remaining five are: Denmark, Algeria, Bulgaria, Morocco, Portugal.

The six teams in the final fourth tier are: Belgium, Canada, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, and Saudi Arabia.

The South League and Iraq that originally entered the World Cup were naturally killed by the Chinese team one by one on the way. Who would let them not have the money given by the big dogs?

Wu Jie has no good feelings towards the Saudis. He even thinks that Iraq is better than Saudis to qualify.

But he is far from the point where he is sentimental for Iraq. If he changes to Pakistan, it is still possible. But even so, it depends on whether Saudis, UAEs, and Kuwaiti can bid higher.

With this sorting, the final grouping is naturally that some people are happy and some are worried!

Unexpectedly, the Chinese team was once again assigned to the death group. The other three teams in Group A were West Germany, the Soviet Union, and Canada.

The Chinese team enters the death group every time. Of course, these three countries have no objection. Maybe they have to applaud.

But if they are divided into the Chinese team, then these three teams will have very different opinions.

West German fans even after the group was released, they immediately cursed FIFA for engaging in them. Otherwise, what reason is there for two consecutive matches to be placed in the same group as the Chinese team?

The Chinese fans are very open-minded. They think that this group is only bad for West Germany. There should be no problem playing against the Soviet Union. Canada is purely giving points.

This is of course not enough knowledge, but there is no dedicated sports media in the country, and the coverage of football is limited. It is basically limited to the leagues where Wu Jie, Lin Yaodong, and Chen Haonan are located, and there are almost no reports of intercontinental matches.

Therefore, Chinese fans know much more about the League, Bundesliga, and La Liga than these first and second tier national teams.

If you mention South American teams, you can only name Brazil and Argentina at most, and you only know South Africa when you mention Africa.

As for how Uruguayan Hode can become the first-class team, what stinky fish and shrimp are Paraguay and Poland?

They don’t understand and don’t want to understand.

Wu Jie naturally understands the opponents of this group. First of all, West Germany's strength in this session is stronger than the previous session. If it weren't for West Germany's offside at the end of the game, Brigel did not move with his teammates. Maradona seized the opportunity to send a deadly through pass and kill it. It is hard to say who will die after overtime.

Needless to say, Soviet football has always been a super strong team in world football before its disintegration. Although the media of another camp in Europe is reluctant to promote Soviet football and Soviet players, Soviet players did not play in foreign leagues. However, their ability to compete in the national team in the European Division is enough to prove that their strength is definitely not worse than the players under capitalism.

This team is indeed a soft persimmon for Canada. They participated in the World Cup for the first time this year. The original plane has never played in the World Cup after this time.

But considering that there are only two places in Central, North America and the Caribbean this time, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Mexico also automatically occupied one place because it was the host. Everyone thought that the remaining place would be taken by the Americans, but they did not expect It is in Canada, which is an underdeveloped country in the football world, who has qualified. This is definitely not justified by luck.

The Chinese team will not underestimate any opponent who can enter the World Cup, because anything can happen in the World Cup, even if they are confident that they will not lose to Canada, but if they are tied due to some accidents, they will be in a very serious situation in this death group. Not good.

The coaching staff of the Chinese team believes that it is not only necessary to beat Canada, but also to get enough goal difference from Canada.

The group qualifying rules of this World Cup have also changed. When the points in the group are the same, the international ranking is no longer looked at first, but the result of the battle between the teams in the same group, then the goal difference, and finally It depends on the international rankings.

But in general, the Chinese team is confident that they will qualify from this group, not only because of their confidence in their own abilities, but also because of the change in the number of qualified teams.

The 24 teams in the last World Cup had to play two group matches. This time only one group stage was required. Each group had the top two points, and the four best third-placed teams advanced to the top 16.

This means that even if the worst result is not the top two in the group, as long as you try to get more points, then the third in the group has a great chance of qualifying.

But this is certainly not the result that the Chinese team wants. Their goal is to win the final championship. Then they can't put the hope of qualifying in third place, but to compete for the first place in the group.

This is not only to show the determination to win the championship on the momentum, but also to make the elimination game smoother.
