Chapter 21 You don't want to fuck me, do you?
After Wu Jie finished showing off his jersey, Park Sung-hwa was also carried off the court on a stretcher. His thigh muscles were injured by Wu Jie's continuous cycling. It looked like it was probably a muscle tear.
This time the South Korean team lost and suffered a loss. They no longer had the fighting spirit to launch a counterattack in the first half.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the South Korean players walked into the tunnel one by one with disgraced faces, while the Chinese players naturally held their heads high.
In this first half, the Chinese team had all the advantages, and the score of 3:0 also announced that the South Korean team could say goodbye.
As soon as the Chinese players returned to the locker room, they immediately reviewed their wonderful performances. Of course, all kinds of business exchanges are indispensable here!
Su Yongshun also felt that this game was stable, but as a coach, he still reminded the players not to underestimate the enemy and never let the South Korean team see the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
The two veterans Rong Zhixing and Chi Shangbin also warned everyone not to get too carried away. They still have a second half to play, and even 3:0 is not a final score.
Wu Jie was very satisfied with the performance of the two veterans. This is the benefit of having an old man in the family, like having a treasure, so he was spared the need to remind everyone.
The average age of this Chinese team is actually very young. When the two big brothers from the north and the south spoke, the effect was even better than that of the head coach Su Yongshun. Especially the overly excited mood of the young players gradually calmed down, but they were still full of energy and planned to continue their efforts in the second half.
.
This is not good news for the South Korean team. As long as there are no problems with the attitude of the Chinese team, this game will really be finalized.
At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team controlled the frequent turnovers in the midfield and clearly used the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole.
The South Korean players had no desire to come out of the hole at this time. It was good to bury their heads in the ground like this, so as not to expose them and get beaten all over their heads.
Seeing this, Kim Jong-nam sighed in the audience. During the intermission, he tried his best to encourage everyone and said a lot of morale-boosting words.
But it seems that the players suffered too much in the first half and have lost the fighting spirit to continue fighting in this game.
When the Chinese team saw this situation, they did not pursue it fiercely. They defeated the South Korean team 7:0 ten days ago. Since the South Koreans surrendered today, they did not intend to waste their energy on launching a large-scale attack. Why not
Save your energy for the finals.
This made the game dull in the second half. The offenses of both teams rarely reached the thirty-meter area. Most of them were boring midfielders who dropped the ball continuously and then ended the attack with a long shot.
But there are differences in long-range shots. In the 69th minute, Wu Jie received the pass with his back. After quickly observing the situation, he suddenly turned around and volleyed 35 meters away from the goal.
Zhang Wailong could never have imagined that Wu Jie would hit the goal from this position. He didn't have any precautions at all, and he didn't raise his foot to intercept. When he looked back, he saw the ball drawing an exaggerated arc in the air and going straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Wu Yanjiao reacted to the ball, but he didn't expect the angle of the shot to be so tricky. He jumped up and planned to hit the ball with his fist, but he stretched his arms and still couldn't stop the football from drawing an exaggerated arc.
Drill into the goal.
"pretty!"
"Good thing!"
"This ball was kicked too hard!"
“It’s so exciting!”
Chinese players rushed over to celebrate with Wu Jie, but Wu Jie, who scored the goal, did not celebrate at all this time, and his expression did not even change much.
He knew that all the suspense in this game had disappeared with this long shot. At this time, silently showing off was the best way to show off.
The South Korean players did not show any more depression, because they had already hit rock bottom. What would happen if they suffered a bigger blow?
Cha Bum-geun, the number one star of the Republic of Korea, could only use a seemingly offside goal in the 83rd minute to help the South Korean team save some face.
But through replays, everyone found that the ball was really obviously offside, and the referee obviously gave the South Korean team a consolation ball at the last minute.
The final score was fixed at 4:1. The Chinese team easily eliminated South Korea in the semi-finals and entered the Asian Cup final for the first time.
The Chinese players celebrated very modestly after the game because they knew there was still a final to play and it was too early to get excited now.
The reporters on the sidelines didn't care that much. They rushed to Wu Jie as soon as the game ended, and dozens of flashlights kept flashing towards tonight's protagonist.
As Wu Jie walked toward the players' tunnel, he interacted with the audience who cheered for him. From time to time, he also gave reporters who were stopped by security guards some poses suitable for taking pictures.
This kind of performance has the demeanor of a top star, although whether he scored or celebrated today, both were already world-class performances.
The Chinese players finally celebrated wildly after returning to the locker room. Su Yongshun no longer said anything disappointing at this time. The coaching staff's thoughts have now shifted to the final the day after tomorrow.
This time the host country Kuwait not only drew good draws for themselves, but their schedule was also the most beneficial to them.
Of course, this is also the right of the host nation, but the Chinese team just finished the semi-final today and will play the final with Kuwait the day after tomorrow. Physically, they will definitely be at a disadvantage first.
In addition, the home whistle for the final also has to be considered!
The most notable feature of West Asian football, besides having money, is that it always gets favoritism on the whistle.
The Chinese team is just the opposite. Since they participated in the AFC competition, they have not only had no say in the competition, but have also been subject to various unfair penalties during the competition.
There is nothing we can do about it. The oil countries in West Asia have huge wealth and are richer in developing football than East Asia and Southeast Asia combined. This of course gives them more say in the AFC.
The royal family in West Asia is also very strong in the development of football, especially in various investments.
In order to host an Asian Cup, they can build several modern stadiums in four years. In order to qualify for the World Cup, they can spend a lot of money to invite a large number of European coaches, and the whole team can go to Europe for training.
This time, in order to encourage their own team, the Kuwaiti royal family promised to give the team an additional US$1 million in rewards after they eliminated North Korea after winning the championship, and the annual salary of all staff serving the national team was doubled.
This is the generosity of oil countries. When the royal families of these West Asian countries watch football together, they often even bet on the outcome of their respective teams.
Not long ago, the Dubai royal family of the United Arab Emirates and the Saudi royal family bet on the outcome of their respective teams in a game. As a result, the UAE defeated Saudi Arabia in the preliminaries. The latter needs to build an accommodation for Ras Al Khaimah, the seventh emirate of the UAE.
A modern stadium for 30,000 people.
This kind of game between rich people makes the poor rabbit stunned for a while, but the rabbit is not stupid even though he is poor. Everyone knows that in the final against Kuwait, he will definitely suffer a big loss on the whistle.
But what can be done?
They can only take advantage of it!
At the post-match press conference, Wu Jie's classic goal that can be recorded in football history naturally became the focus of questions from the media.
He kept a low profile at this time and answered modestly: "Most of the magic tricks on the football field are manifestations of basic skills. If there are any little guys who like football because of this goal, please remember to practice the basic skills to the extreme first."
This answer was unanimously applauded by the media at the scene, and then a Chinese reporter asked: "In this Asian Cup, you scored two goals that are so exciting that no need to be described in words, but which goal are you most satisfied with?"
Woolen cloth?"
Wu Jie smiled and replied: "Next one!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and at the same time they were also thinking about what his next goal would be?
Many people are looking forward to this, knowing that Wu Jie, who is only 17 years old, will be able to contribute more classic goals in the future.
But such expectations do not include the players of the Kuwaiti team. Now even the fans of Kuwait are beginning to worry.
In the second half of today's semi-final, many Kuwaiti spectators holding small red flags slowly came to their senses.
They should actually cheer for the South Korean team, because this Chinese team is too strong, and so is the genius No. 10!
Now the media and fans in Kuwait are worried that their team will become the next victim of the Chinese team. Although the goal of the genius No. 10 is good-looking, if it is scored in their own goal, then they will not be excited!
Such worries will continue for two more days, including the Chinese team, who are also worried about whether this game will be similar to what the men's basketball team suffered in Japan last year.
Wu Jie didn't dare to take any chances with this. He also knew that once football and basketball in this era turned dark, the shamelessness would be enough to make fans decades later feel unbelievable.
In particular, all kinds of bizarre things always happen to the Chinese team. Who makes you a member of the Hammer and Sickle Gang, or the yellow-skinned second-in-command who doesn’t listen to the boss?
