Chapter 17 Fighting South Korea Again

After all the matches in the two groups were over, the teams that finally qualified were China and South Korea in Group A, and Kuwait and North Korea in Group B.

After the Chinese team defeated Iran, South Korea, and North Korea one after another, it now feels like it doesn’t matter who the opponent is. It’s very inflated!

The happiest person at this time was of course Wu Jie. He was extremely satisfied with the result because he could play South Korea again in the semifinals.

Now one hundred Olympic coins are deducted a day, which means one thousand in ten days, three thousand in one month, and thirty-six thousand five hundred Olympic coins in one year!

His current savings are only over 20,000 yuan, and he cannot afford such continuous consumption.

Therefore, the opponent in this battle must be South Korea, and they must defeat South Korea!

The Chinese media has already launched the slogan "Repay South Korea with a double kill". This time they have the opportunity to completely avenge their two consecutive losses to South Korea two years ago.

The South Korean media naturally cheered the team crazily, and the South Korean fans also regained their confidence because their Asia's number one star, the first Korean sports star to win the UEFA Cup, Cha Bum-Kun, is back from Germany!

Cha Bum-gen doesn’t want to come back to play in the Asian Cup, but South Korea lost too badly in the last game. They can’t lose two games in a row to China in a short period of time, let alone lose as badly as Neon!

That was a bloody 11:0!

The South Koreans were very happy to see how miserable Japan was.

But it would not be a good thing if he was also beaten by such a miserable score!

So after it was determined that the group would qualify, the South Korean Football Association immediately contacted Cha Bum-geun. He must come back to play in the semi-finals for the honor of the Republic of Korea!

No matter how reluctant Frankfurt was to the demands of the South Korean Football Association, they could only be forced to let him go at this time.

European teams are generally reluctant to hire Asian players because of this problem. As long as they go back for international matches, they will not be able to play for the team for at least half a month, but local European players can return in just a few days.

Cha Bum-gen flew to Kuwait on the 9th, and the two semifinals were held on the nights of the 10th and 11th respectively. The match time between the Chinese team and the South Korean team was scheduled for 7 o'clock in the evening on the 11th.

At the pre-match press conference that afternoon, when Cha Bum-gen was asked about his evaluation of Wu Jie, an Asian genius, he first praised Wu Jie's performance, and then changed the topic and commented: "Wu Jie is very strong in Asia.

But in Europe he is not even the main striker."

As for Wu Jie's skills displayed in the game, Cha Bumgen was equally dismissive. He commented: "Every South American genius who comes to Europe for trial training can do those skills, or even do them better, but among the top players in Europe

In the league, many of them can't even hold the ball!"

What this means is: Even South American geniuses can't play tricks in Europe. Wu Jie just jumped in the Asian fish pond, and when he went to Europe, he was not as good as these South American geniuses who were fancy.

The Chinese team's pre-match press conference was an hour later than that of South Korea. A reporter from South Korea who came over showed pride and asked Wu Jie: "This time, facing the most powerful opponent in your life, do you still have the ability to do so?"

Confidence to continue the excellent performance?"

Wu Jie's answer made the South Korean reporter's nose become angry. He shrugged and said: "The most terrifying opponent is that from the beginning to the end, you don't know who your opponent is?"

This answer is not just a slap in the face, the implication is that Cha Bum-gen is not taken seriously at all, and he is not the so-called "opponent" at all.

The South Korean reporter was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but a Hong Kong reporter came to his aid. He asked Wu Jie: "Cha Bum-gen is the number one star in Asia. Isn't it stupid for you to despise your opponent like this?"

Wu Jie smiled and replied: "You are right. It is foolish to underestimate your opponent, but it is even more foolish to overestimate your opponent. But you can rest assured that no matter who our opponent is, we will always remember that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.

.”

Such a sarcastic answer made Su Yongshun feel that it was a bit much. Fortunately, the unlucky team leader Gou was still in the hospital, otherwise Wu Jie would have to go back to write a checkup again.

Wait, this guy promised to write for the examination last time, but now he doesn’t seem to have handed in a single word?

Wu Jie really doesn't care that much about Cha Bum-geun. He won't take players of this level seriously during virtual training.

Chinese players also have no fear of Cha Bum-gen. They played against the South Korean team with Cha Bum-gen two years ago. Although they lost both games, their current strength is far stronger than that time.

"Can one Cha Bum-geun change the lives of South Koreans?"

"Isn't it just to play in Germany! Frankfurt doesn't seem to be a strong team in the Bundesliga. If our Xiao Wu goes to play in the Bundesliga, he will definitely go to Bayern Munich!"

"Do you think we have a chance to play football in Europe?"

"I think there is a chance. I heard that many European scouts have come to our competition recently!"

"Don't think about good things. I came here to see Wu Jie. His original 'pendulum style' has been reported by European media."

"Ajie can go to a strong team in Europe, so let's go to a team that's worse than Frankfurt. That Cha Bum-gen went to Frankfurt. At least we can go to a team that's worse than Frankfurt!"

"..."

The Chinese players were chatting before the game started and the topic got sidetracked. However, it could be seen from everyone's emotions that they did not take Cha Bum-gen too seriously, and many people were even more eager to try.

Gu Guangming had the idea of ​​​​competing with Cha Bumgen. This game attracted many scouts from Europe.

They knew that most of these people were here to see Wu Jie's performance, and everyone knew this.

But if they can perform better than Cha Bum-gen in the game, even if they play about the same, does that mean they have the ability to play in Europe?

So except for veterans like Rong Zhixing and Chi Shangbin who are over 30 years old, many players want to perform well.

Of course Wu Jie knows what these teammates are thinking, but if they knew that in two years the Football Association would issue a strange rule that "players under 28 years old are not allowed to go abroad", I wonder if they would shake their heads and sigh.

He knows that the Football Association promulgated this rule because it is worried that talents from domestic leagues will be poached by Europe, but I have to say that this rule is still stupid, because the timing of your promulgation is obviously wrong.

The establishment of domestic leagues is of course the foundation of football in various countries. It is understandable to introduce some restrictive policies, but these restrictions must match the economy and environment.

The current domestic league, not to mention the economic conditions, even the transportation conditions are not in good condition. The games between the north and south teams have to take several days by train. How can the league be run well in this situation?

Therefore, the most pragmatic method is to first organize youth training in the 1980s, train grassroots personnel and coaches nationwide, especially improve the capabilities of Football Association officials and middle- and low-level clerks, and then send outstanding players to Europe to improve their skills.

level, it is best to create some idols to attract more talented teenagers to play football.

In this way, when economic conditions begin to improve in the 1990s, there are no transportation obstacles for the North and South teams to compete, and tens of thousands of grassroots football personnel have been trained across the country, then it is most appropriate and the timing is more appropriate to start a professional league.

.

If it is to restrict outstanding players from playing abroad under such circumstances, it is a very correct policy.

But Wu Jie knows that this is his wishful thinking. Unless Wu Zhengsong can hold a high position in the sports department and directly issue management and appointments to the Football Association, then there will be a chance that "the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants will enjoy the shade". This premise is also

Only then can it become a reality.

Otherwise, every head of the Football Association will definitely continue to fish in the marsh and kill the goose to get the eggs for the sake of political achievements during his tenure!

In the end, of course, there were no eggs left!

"Okay, let me announce tonight's lineup!"

Su Yongshun interrupted everyone's random thoughts. The Chinese team's lineup tonight was similar to that of the first match, except that Zuo Shusheng replaced Chen Xirong, and Wu Jie's strike partner became Zhao Dayu.

Rong Zhixing's injury is not serious and the game can continue.

On the other side, the South Korean team is almost the same as the last time they met, except that Cha Bum-geun replaced Choi Soon-ho, who should have made a breakthrough in this Asian Cup.

The two teams came out on time in the evening, and Wu Jie set his sights on Cha Bum-gen.

He was rude before the game, but he also knew that a striker ranked in the top five in the Bundesliga was very important to the improvement of an Asian team.

His system has detailed data about Cha Bum-geun. The Bundesliga star's overall strength has reached 83, and he is at the peak of his career.

After Cha Bum-geun joined the South Korean team, its overall strength has ranked second in Asia.

Originally, they lost to Kuwait in the final, mainly because Cha Bum-gen did not come back to participate in the game, and Kuwait's home whistle was too biased.

As for why the original South Korea did not qualify in the 1982 World Cup, the reason was also that Cha Bum-geun suffered a serious injury in Germany, which caused the South Korean team, which lost its captain and core, to be eliminated again by Kuwait in the group stage of the world preliminaries.

!

This also shows that although the current South Korean team has a European star, it is not strong other than that. This is the biggest problem of the South Korean team.

Cha Bum-geun cannot have the same effect as he did in the Chinese team. At most, he can make the South Korean team's offense better.
