Now Bayern fans don't want to miss Wu Jie. It's bad enough to be out of the Champions League. Now the league has been squeezed out of the top four. This is an unacceptable defeat for Bayern fans who have stood on the top of Europe for four consecutive years!

After Wu Jie stabbed his old club several times, he could no longer be distracted and pay attention to others.

He is now actively preparing for the Devil's March with the team. This month, Arsenal will not only play seven league games, but also the sixth round of the FA Cup, which is an eight-to-four match.

This is also thanks to Arsenal's lack of qualifications for the European War. Otherwise, with the addition of two Champions League games, it would be difficult for them not to reduce their staff.

But even so, after they defeated West Ham United at home, they still overturned in three consecutive away trips, and they were defeated by Aston Villa 2:1 in the last stop.

Wu Jie didn't blame his teammates, they had already won consecutive away games against Sunderland and Stoke before overturning.

But facing an away game every three days, even he felt tired when he played against Aston Villa, and failed to use his physical advantage to complete the lore in the last 10 minutes of the second half.

It would be too harsh to blame teammates in this situation, and Everton also overturned. They also encountered the devil's schedule in March, and the situation of these two companies is not much better.

Not long after Arsenal lost to Aston Villa in the away game, Everton may have breathed a sigh of relief, which caused the body and mind to be too relaxed. They also lost to Southampton in the away game the next day.

Now the two teams have returned to the original point of 2 points, and the two sides can only focus on the head-to-head contest at the end of the month.

On March 3th, Arsenal will be a guest at Goodison Park. At that time, the two teams have been entangled in the championship battle for most of the season, and perhaps it will become clearer.

In addition to preparing for the head-to-head confrontation with the team to determine the championship, Wu Jie will also start to pay attention to the World Cup Asian qualifiers to be held next month.

The 1986 World Cup in Mexico is only a year and a half away.

There are 2.5 places in the Asian Division this time, and it is still in the case of a separate qualifier in Oceania in advance.

In the last World Cup qualifiers, Asia and Oceania combined only had two places to participate, but this time the Asian division has 2.5 places, and Oceania has 0.5 places, which is actually one more place than the previous one.

This is of course the credit of the Chinese team. Although the entire Asian public opinion except mainland China, even the Hong Kong media are trying their best to find other explanations. Anyway, they just don’t want to report China’s good, let alone understand China’s situation.

But as long as you are not a fool, you will know that the increase in the number of places in Asia is entirely due to the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the last World Cup, plus the continuous rise in the world rankings in the past two and a half years, which finally made the status of Asian football rise a bit .

However, the Asian Football Association also didn't know how to be grateful. Instead, it played tricks in the Asian qualifiers and arranged the first stage of the group stage at the end of April, which was a whole month earlier than the first stage of the previous group stage.

The purpose of this game date is too naked. Everyone knows that most European leagues end at the end of May, and League One will not end until early June.

Not only that, teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which are in a difficult position in the European arena, once they reach the European finals, they will not be able to play all the games until June.

But it can't wait until June, and the first stage of the group stage at the end of May is all over.

This means that none of the Chinese players in Europe will be able to make it to the group stage, unless the Chinese Football Association forcibly calls the players back in the sprint stage of the European League, but that will obviously affect the favorability and status of many Chinese players in the hearts of clubs and fans .

"Hmph, even if we don't go back, the Chinese team won't be able to qualify for the group stage, right?"

Wu Jie scoffed at this kind of trick. In fact, he didn't intend to let all the players in Europe go back to play in the first stage of the group stage.

But through this incident, it can also be seen that even though some countries have paid tuition fees, they still want Chinese football to die in private. What they come to learn is how to beat you.

That being the case, it seems that tuition fees will have to go up again, especially for good students like Japan. It is best to find a way to mislead them into a path of no return.

Wu Jie has never been at peace with Japan. He also knows that although he is very popular in this country, it is because any publicity and reports he has in Japan can dilute the "Chinese" element in him.

In fact, Japan's discrimination against China has never been lowered from top to bottom. They can admire Wu Jie's personal achievements and regard him as the pride of Asians and yellow people.

But so far, these methods have not been able to really affect them, because now only CCTV and a few major official media can influence domestic public opinion, and the most vulnerable private media has not yet appeared.

But now the colonists in CCTV and several major official media, as well as middle-level management personnel, not only get a monthly gift package of food and daily necessities sponsored by the "Unification Group".The electrical appliances in their home are all sponsored by the "Black Mountain Group".In addition, office software and hardware have also received special discounts from Lenovo.Even work clothes are sponsored by Uniqlo, and you can get vouchers from Uniqlo every holiday.

At this time, coupled with a large amount of advertising expenses, it is enough to make public opinion blow in their favor.

The Asian World Preliminaries this time are still divided into three stages: the first stage is the group stage, the second stage is the top ten match, and the third stage should be a play-off that has nothing to do with them.

In the first stage of the group stage, the 36 participating teams in the Asian region were divided into 10 groups, with 3-4 teams in each group, and the top players in each group advanced to the second stage.

In the top ten matches in the second stage, 10 teams will be divided into 2 groups, and 5 teams in each group will compete in a double-loop home and away game.The first place in each group will directly qualify for the World Cup, and the second place in the two groups will have two rounds of home and away play-offs to determine one to enter the third stage.

The third stage will be the play-offs in the Asia-Pacific region. No.3 in the Asia region will compete with No.1 in the Oceania region qualifiers for home and away rounds to compete for the qualification for the World Cup.

Now the grouping of the first stage has been released. As the No. 16 team in Asia and the [-]th in the world, the Chinese team will of course participate in the Asian grouping as a seeded team.

But this ranking dissatisfied many inflated Chinese fans, because they were fifth in the last World Cup, and even the champions of the last Olympic Games. Ranked 16th.

However, this ranking is much better than it was three months ago. The Chinese team was only ranked 12th in the world until December last year.

Isn't it a bit incredible to go from 3th to 24th in 16 months?

This will start with the reset of FIFA's international points in January this year, because the current FIFA recounts the points every eight years, and the last recounting was in 1, and the Chinese team was recounted in 1977. If you join FIFA, you will naturally be at a disadvantage in terms of points acquisition.

But according to the formula for recalculating the points every eight years: the points obtained in the first two years of the previous period are only 25%, the points obtained in the third to fourth years are 50%, and the points in the fifth to sixth years are 75%. , the points for the last two years count as 100%.

Such a calculation formula is undoubtedly very beneficial to the Chinese team, because the rise of Chinese football was just after 1980, especially after the 82 World Cup. In the new period of point reset.

In January of this year, when the points of all countries were recalculated, China's outstanding performance in the past four years naturally took advantage of it, and it jumped from the original 24th to the current 16th in one fell swoop. The gap between 10th and 15th is not big anymore.

If they can achieve good results again in next year's World Cup, it is very likely that they will directly enter the top ten in the standings and become the first international strong team. At that time, the Chinese team will also become the first team in football history. Enter the top ten teams in the world.

Of course, the 16th-ranked team in Asia has already lost the rest of the teams. They can’t even see the taillights. Kuwait, the second-best Asian team in the international rankings, is only 51st in the latest ranking. None of the 50 people entered.

But this time it is the Asian qualifiers. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, South Korea, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, North Korea, and Japan also won the seed team seats at the same time as the Chinese team.

This order is the current Asian football rankings. Japanese fans felt a little relieved when they saw that their team finally led India with a slight advantage and won the No.10 position.

If you are really squeezed out of the top ten, it means that you will inevitably be in the same group with one of these teams.

If you are unlucky and you are really in a group with the Chinese team, wouldn't you just go to the West?

In Group A where the Chinese team is located, the other three teams that have moved ahead of schedule are Syria, Indonesia, and Taiwan Province of China!

That's right, this time the Chinese team was actually in the same group as Wan Wan, which made both sides feel sick.

Wanwan is disgusted because they have been adopting a tortoise strategy in sports for the past few years, and basically do not report any sports news related to China, so some people really don't know the status of China's three major balls in the world.

But the executives and the media are very clear that with their strength, it is estimated that the Fujian provincial team will probably be in the west. This time they are really going to fall, and they can't hide!

On the Chinese side, it is disgusting to meet such an opponent. They would rather face their old enemy, the Hong Kong team, than encounter such an unfortunate, two-witted disgusting thing.

Of course, the Hong Kong side is disgusting enough, it's best not to run into both of them.

However, for this grouping, it is indeed a bit overkill to play with the previous Asian Cup lineup.

Besides, that lineup can't be formed anymore.

Li Huayun and Zhang Anhong went to Manchester United and Dortmund respectively during the winter break, including Wei Xinghua who was also bought by the Bastia club in the middle of Ligue [-].

But at this time, Manchester United realized that they might have been fooled. The so-called poor man's version of the "Black Rocket" John Barnes in the mouth of their chief scout, and the "Yellow Rocket" that they finally bought for a full 20 US dollars, seemed to be the same. Too poor, this is simply the bankruptcy version!

Li Huajun's explosive power, speed, and dribbling skills are definitely at the top level in Asia, but these are just normal winger levels in England.

In addition, his abilities in confrontation, stopping, shooting, and crossing are also so-so. The most important thing is that his awareness and coordination ability are not even qualified. Communication is also a problem. Can such a player really play in Manchester United?Have they been fooled?

Dortmund also found that the business they did was not worth much. Zhang Anhong did have excellent foot skills, which would be considered outstanding in Europe.

But the problem is that as long as he is strong, he will make mistakes constantly, and his header ability is also very weak. With a height of 192cm, he can't compete with the team's defender who is over 1.8 meters high. After spending the 25 US dollars, he realized the fundamentals. Not worth it!

At this time, only Bastia did not regret the Wei Xinghua they bought for 15 US dollars. Wei Xinghua has outstanding speed, solid dribbling, and is very good at attacking the inside. It perfectly complements their originally weak left. Corridor, it didn't take long for him to take the starting position after the transaction.

Wu Jie also knew that Bastia's business was very valuable. It's not that Wei Xinghua's ability is much better than Li Huajun's, but that his ability is more suitable for this team.

If Li Huayun went to a relegation team in League One, or a mid-lower team in Ligue [-] or Eredivisie, then he could be a qualified starter, but if he went to a strong team like Manchester United in a fierce confrontation, then it would be true. is vastly overrated.

Also, Li Huayun's biggest problem is not that his ability is worse than imagined, but his real age that is seriously flooded.

This is the reason why he has been rejected by the national team. In fact, his and Wei Xinghua's upper limit is not lower than Gu Guangming's. Choose to train Wei Xinghua whose real age is only 21 years old.

As for the issue of Manchester United and Dortmund wanting to return the products, the Chinese Football Association can only say: "There is no reason to make a profit without losing money in business." Besides, the people are what you fancy, and the price is what you think is appropriate, and it is not us who force you to buy. Strong sell.

Also, it may be that you don't know how to employ people. We don't blame you for employing people improperly.

Wu Jie thinks this is good, any transfer can't guarantee that all of them will be played out, and the examples of unacceptable cases far exceed the probability of turning stones into gold.

In addition, there are indeed many bought players who can't play, not because they are parallel imports with insufficient ability, it is likely that their own style is not compatible with the team, or the league they are in, or communication problems caused by language , In short, there are too many possibilities of not being able to kick it out, how can I return it to you.

The one who laughed the most at this time was the Football Association. They even boldly opposed the introduction of the "25-year-old can't play abroad" regulations before the World Cup.

But the Ministry of Sports would not accept this opinion at all. At this time, the drivers headed by Wu Zhengsong thought that they should not rely on money for everything.

If every outstanding player goes abroad to play football around the age of 20, this is actually a kind of fishing behavior, because it will greatly reduce the level of the domestic league, and instead lose the subsequent hematopoietic ability.

This is not alarmist talk. If all capable players go out, the result can only be that one generation is not as good as the next generation, because young players lose the environment to fight monsters and upgrade, lose the goal of striving to become stronger after being hanged, let alone the near future. From the opportunity to learn from the team's predecessors, the environment of inheritance and experience is directly cut off.

This is also Wu Jie's idea, because even if it is really alarmist, he will not let Chinese football be like India's brain drain.

So when the economic foundation is not good enough, they can only introduce compulsory policies to protect their basic market.

Chinese football should follow the high-quality route in the future. A genius like Ren Zhihui not only sells for far more than ten Zhang Anhong and Li Huayun, but also improves the influence of Chinese football.

What's more, the genius clause they introduced can also allow geniuses like Ren Zhihui and Wang Yuanlin to go to Europe in their early 20s, without having to wait until they are 25 years old.

But if these restrictions are not imposed, players like Zhang Anhong and Li Huayun will definitely be bought by Japanese clubs with high salaries. At that time, a large number of outstanding players will be lost in the Chinese league, which will greatly increase the level of the Japanese league. Wouldn’t that be for others? Made a wedding dress?

However, this clause can indeed be introduced after the 86 World Cup. After this World Cup is over, it will be the last unlimited sale of Chinese football. Next, it is time to focus on its own league.

Chapter 336 It's Too Fast

On March 3, Arsenal played against Leicester at home.

Head coach Graham originally planned to let Wu Jie rest with the main players, because the FA Cup match against West Bromwich Albion will be played two days later.

This is also the most difficult week for Arsenal this season. They will play a league game with Leicester on the 16th, the sixth round of the FA Cup on the 18th, and they will return to the league against Ipswich Town on the 19th.

This is no longer three games a week, but three games in four days.

Not to mention that Chinese fans have never seen such a tight schedule, even British fans are rare. Usually, 5 games in 3 days is the most extreme schedule. This kind of 4 games in 3 days is indeed very rare.

How could Wu Jie dare to rest at this time, he can't lose both the league and the FA Cup now, if they are tied by Leicester, they will be three points away from Everton.

If they really lose points in this kind of game, even if they can win the head-to-head confrontation with Everton at the end of the month, they are likely to miss the championship.

Therefore, there is no room for loss in this battle, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to lead Arsenal's rotation to play.

At this time, the Gunners fans also discovered a phenomenon, that is, Arsenal with Wu Jie and his absence are completely two teams.

In other words, as long as he can play, even if the rest are composed of substitutes and echelon players, they still have the ability to compete with any League One team.

Leicester is currently ranked No.15, which shows that they are not an outstanding team. Even if the will to fight is online under the task of relegation, they are still dominated by Wu Jie's personal ability.

At the end of the game, the score stayed at 3:2.

Leicester played bloody today, and was even expected to draw with Arsenal in the away game.

However, after Wu Jie sent two assists in the first 80 minutes and staged a lore performance in the last 10 minutes, Leicester still had to swallow a loss at Highbury Stadium.

At the end of the game, Wu Jie's dominance even brought tears to the eyes of some Gunners fans in the stadium.

This is a taste of happiness. Wu Jie is like an Optimus Prime supporting the whole world for Arsenal. As long as this man is still on the field, they have the confidence that no matter how desperate the situation is, no matter how rough the road ahead, they will finally Can reach the finish line safely.

At the same time, they also understood why the Bayern fans cried in the game a few days ago, because the feeling of getting it first and then losing it is always more desperate than never getting it.

But the Gunners fans had no time to sing the praises of Wu Jie's outstanding performance, they will be preparing to face West Bromwich Albion the next day.

At this time, Arsenal can only rejoice that the only good news is that this battle is their home game.

If he were to play away, even Wu Jie would vomit blood.

In the reports on the day of the game, the English media mainly reported on Arsenal, especially Wu Jie's physical problems.

Everyone knows that Wu Jie's physical fitness is one of the best in the world. Even if he is directly said to be the best physical player among active players, there will not be many people questioning it.

But no matter how good your physical fitness is, you shouldn't be able to handle this devilish schedule, right?

In this game, will Wu Jie pull his hips due to physical problems?

The English media very much hope that this scene will appear. It is best if the injury is caused by physical strength, or if it is seriously injured.

But they didn't know that after the match against Leicester, Wu Jie used a diamond-level recovery card for himself.

In addition, he refused milk and Black Forest cake for two consecutive days, and today his physical fitness has recovered [-]%.

The strength of West Bromwich Albion is slightly stronger than that of Leicester, but their number of goals is not as good as the latter. You can know this by carefully checking the data of West Bromwich Albion on both offensive and defensive ends of each game. It is a team with relatively good defense but weak attack power.

This is quite in line with their higher ranking than Leicester, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, but Arsenal can even penetrate Liverpool, which has the strongest defense this season. West Bromwich Albion's defense is in front of the Gunners' firepower It's just not enough.

The most important thing is that West Bromwich Albion actually thought that Wu Jie's physical fitness would definitely be affected today, so he did not take special measures in defense, and even temporarily moved some troops to deal with others.

This is asking for a dead end. It only took Wu Jie 2 minutes after the opening to launch a 50-meter long-distance attack after stealing the ball in the backcourt, and broke through several people in succession along the way to break the West. Bromwich Albion's goal.

This blow took West Bromwich Albion players back to their senses for a long time. They never expected that Wu Jie, who played the entire game the day before yesterday and ran nearly [-] meters, would be able to feel as if he had been beaten today. Staged such an amazing long-distance raid.

But this was just the beginning of the magic. Just as the players of West Bromwich Albion were blitzed at the beginning of the game, before they recovered, Wu Jie scored again in less than 1 minute.

This time, he first pulled horizontally in the penalty area, and then suddenly made a fake move to respond to the outside of the big penalty area, successfully tricking the two defenders around him into following up.

But Wu Jie's real intention was to advance into the small penalty area. He just took a step outside the penalty area, and then suddenly turned around and ran back in the direction of the small penalty area.

This continuous start, stop, and turn almost knocked the two defensive players who were following him to the ground, and naturally they could no longer keep up with his footsteps.
