The Chinese fans at this meeting are also in a similar state of mind. Seeing how miserable the UK and Spain are at the moment, they naturally have an excuse to comfort themselves.

The United States can't even enter the World Cup, so it's more comfortable to think about it.

What is newspaper group heating?

That's it!

The world now has entered an era of comparing each other's badness. I can do badly, but as long as you are worse than me, then I'm not bad!

Chapter 372 The Scheming Bitch

"The henchman of the North American slave owner's genocide and anti-human bandits must be eliminated!"

Lin Yaodong hesitated for a moment when he got off the bus, but he still didn't say these words in front of the whole world.

But after entering the locker room, in front of the camera of CCTV, he still yelled out this slogan that was destined to be strangled and not broadcast on TV until 40 years later!

Today is already June 6st, and their final group match against Cannabis will be held at the "Jalisco Stadium".

The competition venue this time is finally a bit like the World Cup. When the "Jalisco Stadium" only reserves 1 seats, the maximum capacity can reach 62000 people.

This scale is enough to create a hot atmosphere, but it is the old problem that embarrasses the Chinese players.

Their supporters today include a large number of Asian fans, still less than 2 people.

However, 4 Canadian fans squeezed in, which made today's game an away game for the Chinese team.

In addition, there is another not-so-good news. The last game between the Soviet Union and West Germany was over yesterday, and the two sides tacitly ended in a 1:1 draw.

This means that the situation in Group A has been determined. West Germany has two wins and one tie to secure the first place in the group, and the Soviet Union has one win and two draws to secure the second place in the group.

Even if the Chinese team beat Canada today, they can only rank third in the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.

But it is not without good news. The game between the Chinese team and Canada is the last game of all groups. Most of the teams in other groups have completed all three games.

This means that they can calculate from No.3 in other groups how much goal difference they need to get to ensure they qualify third in the group.

现在B组的No.3已经确定是西班牙，他们的成绩是1胜1平1负；C组的No.3是阿尔及利亚，成绩是1胜2负；D组的No.3还没确定，英格兰与乌拉圭的比赛比他们早一个半小时进行；E组的No.3是比利时，他们的成绩也是1胜1平1负；F组No.3的葡萄牙战绩是2平1负。

This arithmetic problem is easy to do. Now only the results of the Chinese team and England are still undetermined. If they can both win, it means that Algeria and Portugal are directly eliminated, and there is no need to count the goal difference.

This is naturally good news. The Chinese team does not need to win a big game to qualify, and the difficulty of the game has dropped a lot.

As for today's opponent, the Canadian team, they are destined to be eliminated regardless of whether they win or lose today. Who made them lose the number of goals?

So when the two sides entered the field, they were very depressed to see the sick men in Canada, including the Canadian fans at the scene, who simply hoped that their country's team would win the next game, at least score a goal, right?

Now Canada has not scored a single goal. If they leave in despair with such a result, wouldn't they become the laughing stock of the whole world?

At this time, except for Wu Jie who sneezed, all Chinese players were willing to facilitate this matter with their own hands, even though they did not plan to use the tactics that have been determined in the future.

As long as there are no accidents in this game, their tactics after entering the knockout round will regain the previous anti-counterattack, that is, through layer upon layer interception starting from the midfield, using chain defense to consume the opponent's offense, and finally finding Opportunity uses Wu Jie's inhuman counterattack ability to solve the scoring problem.

Their first two games were all-out and full-defense, and they tended to control the style of play. This style is naturally invincible against Asian teams. It is a good example of winning while winning.

But with their current strength, they can deal with the third-tier teams at most in this way, and it is unpredictable to face the second-tier teams. Against the first-tier teams like West Germany, they have self-defeating martial arts suspicion.

Of course, today they don't need to be so passive against a team like Canada that is below the level in the fourth tier.

The key is in terms of grand strategy, they need to use a big victory to gain momentum for the knockout round.

Today's Chinese team's starting lineup is different from the previous game. Zhen Aiguo was suspended due to a red card, and Wu Qunli took his place. The 11-man starting lineup is——

Frontcourt: Wu Jie (99), Zhao Dayu (85)

Midfielders: Ren Zhihui (86), Wu Qunli (83), Chen Haonan (98), Gu Guangming (85).

Backcourt: Jiang Wei (84), Jia Xiuquan (85), Cui Yonghua (83), Li Junwei (86).

Goalkeeper: Lam Yiu Tung (98).

The state of the Chinese players today is obviously not the same as the previous game. They are basically in a state of explosive growth across the board.

This also shows in disguise that the personal abilities of Canadian players have indeed deteriorated a lot. There are even a few players in the Chinese team whose abilities have increased by 3 values. This is already a state of explosion.

Of course, there is also the reason why Wu Jie secretly used the card to improve the status.

In China's first two matches against the Soviet Union and West Germany, Wu Jie did not use any cards to improve his status.

Of course, there is a hidden intention here. He really doesn't want to let the team explode in the small universe in the group stage.

But facing the Canadian team today, he used almost 2 cards.

This is not about having money and not spending it, but about taking advantage of Canada's momentum and defrauding their next opponents.

He also didn't want to deliberately create a "slow heat", to be precise, he wanted to "preemptively strike".

In fact, both "preemptive strike" and "late strike" have pros and cons, but under the group stage + knockout system, no matter how you look at it, the group stage is slow and clumsy. It is more appropriate to wait until the knockout stage to strike late.

Especially in the World Cup competition system, if a team wants to win the championship, as long as they can qualify in the group stage, is the result really that important?

This time, the top three teams in the second half of the division are all South American teams that are not disciplined enough and will easily collapse once the sneak attack is successful.

The team that Wu Jie hoped to play against in the knockout round was actually a South American team from the very beginning.

So they only started to work hard from now on, which is obviously more in line with the goal of "winning the championship".

Today's starting lineup of the Chinese team is also very deceptive. It is still not a defensive-oriented formation. On the contrary, the combat policy is very aggressive. No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a South American team!

This style of play combined with the spirit of bravely showing their swords against the Soviet Union and West Germany in the first two scenes, I am afraid that it is difficult for the opponents in the knockout round to guess that they will adopt diametrically opposite tactics.

The Canadian side was discouraged from the very beginning. The 4-5-1 formation they sent was obviously based on defensive counterattacks.

But it is a pity that the defensive counterattack is not so easy to play, otherwise the situation of the weak defeating the strong will not be so rare.

The Canadian team's style of play in North America is not mainly defensive, and the best players in their group are also offensive players.

This is very painful. Today, the Canadian team launched a defensive defense and looked forward to finding opportunities through defensive counterattacks, but soon found that there were not many opportunities to control the ball.

The four defenders of the Chinese team collectively moved to a position close to the midfield, leaving a large open space behind them, but the Canadian players could only look at it with greedy eyes.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Wu Jie used a pass without looking at people to assist Zhao Dayu, who successfully countered offside, to complete the goal, which broke the Canadian mentality on the spot!

Wu Jie felt a little sympathetic to the Canadian team at this moment. They were not so miserable in the original plane. Although they lost all three games and failed to score a goal, they only lost one goal against the French team. The numbers are not that exaggerated.

But the Canadian team in this plane encountered a more cruel opponent, and at the same time, they did not intend to show mercy.

Wu Jie is not playing the center position on the offensive end today, but a more advanced free agent role.

But no matter what position he plays, Canada's defensive focus is still mostly on him. Even if Wu Jie doesn't get the ball, there are at least two followers around him. An encirclement that is extremely rare in football.

This allowed the other players of the Chinese team to gain a lot of room to play, especially when Wu Jie didn't have much desire to score goals.

Wu Jie really doesn't have much desire to score goals today. He has scored three goals in the first two games. The three goals scored by the Chinese team in the first two games were all contributed by him.

That would be on the goalscoring table, where he is tied with Lineker for the top spot, and that was after Lineker scored again half an hour earlier.

But even if he didn't have a strong desire to score goals, the chances to score goals came quickly.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Ren Zhihui, who had performed mediocrely for two consecutive games, finally played today at the level he played as the third leader in Ajax. A side attack with two people in a row not only pierced the side corridor of Canada , and let him create a free kick in a good position outside the left penalty area.

Wu Jie, as the team's unyielding free kick and penalty shooter, waved his hand towards the back at this time, and then saw Lin Yaodong running over.

"Boss, this position is more suitable for you, do you really want to punish me?"

Lin Yaodong was a little embarrassed, he was best at free kicks in the center, the position of this ball was slightly on the side, and it was more suitable to hit the goal directly with a curve ball.

"Nonsense, this position is obviously more suitable for me, but you can pass the ball to me first, and I will put it in the middle for you!"

At this moment Chen Haonan leaned over and muttered something, Lin Yaodong's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't say anything more.

The Canadians were very confused at this time. The Chinese team has three top free kick masters. They really don't know how to set up the wall, and they don't know who to focus on.

Needless to say Wu Jie and Lin Yaodong, although Chen Haonan's reputation for free kicks is not that high, but in fact his free kick success rate is also ridiculously high, and he also has a unique "full moon scimitar".

This trick is actually the real unique skill at present, because "elevator ball" Lin Yaodong can also kick it, but "full moon scimitar" is only mastered and used by Chen Haonan, although other people can also kick it with a big arc free kick, but including Wu Jie, it is not as exaggerated as Chen Haonan.

The Canadian slapped the wall for a long time, and Lin Yaodong asked the referee impatiently, can he serve directly?

Today's referee is from South Africa. I don't know if he has any missions before the game, but even if he has missions, the Chinese team doesn't care. No matter how black they are, can they be darker than the Koreans?

The referee signaled that he could shoot directly. Lin Yaodong could shoot directly at this time, but he didn't shoot from the most comfortable position. It always felt a bit uninteresting, so he still kicked the ball to Chen Haonan next to him as planned.

The Canadian players will still focus most of their energy on Wu Jie, who is unstoppable by both of them in the penalty area. He directly stood in the penalty area for this free throw. How dare the Canadian players not pay attention to him.

At this time, seeing that the Chinese team adopted a tactical serve, some Canadian players still focused on defending Wu Jie, while some rushed towards Lin Yaodong who received the turn.

At this time, both Zhao Dayu and Ren Zhihui in the penalty area gave up the chance to get the ball, and Wu Qunli on the other side of the penalty area was in a state of being emptied.

Lin Yaodong naturally saw that his teammates were open, which made him hesitate for a moment, but after a moment, he decisively passed the ball to Wu Qunli who was unguarded outside the penalty area on the right.

Even Wu Jie and Chen Haonan didn't expect this action, let alone the Canadian players.

After Wu Qunli took the ball, he was not in a daze, and took advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area in two steps. After the shocked Canadian players rushed towards him, he picked the ball to the small penalty area on the left.

This continuous transfer of the ball made the Canadian players completely confused. Ren Zhihui rushed to the small penalty area on the left and easily scored the ball into the empty goal with a kick.

The Canadian goalkeeper just rushed over from the direction of blocking Wu Qunli after the goal was scored, and he didn't even have time to make a save.

"Why did you play so easily today?"

After seeing the goal scored so quickly, many Chinese fans felt that the Chinese team in today's game was a completely different team from the previous two games.

These role players who disappeared for two games suddenly returned to their positions today!

Wu Jie didn't think there was any surprise, it was still related to the strength of the opponent.

Everyone knows that the strongest state of the Chinese team is that while the three of them performed well, they also drove the role players to perform well.

But there must be a prerequisite for this state, that is, they have the ability to form a one-on-one advantage in one-on-one and supplementary defense, so that they can use the containment of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan to gain the opportunity to threaten the opponent's goal.

In the first scene against the Soviet Union, these role players actually played a certain role, so they can gain the upper hand.

But in the second scene against West Germany, the opponents of these role players were almost at least one level stronger than themselves. At that time, it would be very difficult to expect them to stand out. The team's offensive efficiency, and the problem is even more serious on the defensive end.

Canada once again felt the fear of being dominated. They conceded two goals in less than 10 minutes of the first half, which made their already low morale even worse.

But it wasn't the defense that made Canada completely collapse today, but the offense.

In the 26th minute of the first half, the Chinese team, which had been pressing aggressively, finally made a mistake.

Due to the fact that the back line was too far forward in this attack, the Canadian striker finally got a one-handed opportunity after the frontcourt was intercepted.

All the Canadian fans stared at this scene with wide eyes. Will this be their first goal in the World Cup?

Lin Yaodong was naturally scolding his mother in his heart. Although the opponent's striker was not of high level, he would not be able to take advantage of single-handed balls. He was not sure to stop this kind of ball.

But I don't know if he put too much pressure on the opponent, or the opponent's psychological quality is not strong enough because he has never seen a big scene. Of course, it may also be that the meaning of this goal is too great.

In short, this once-in-a-lifetime single-handed ball opportunity, facing Lin Yaodong who did not rush out of the penalty area, the Canadian forward did not have the confidence to dribble the ball past him, but wanted to trick him into losing his center of gravity with fake moves.

Lin Yaodong is not afraid of this move. Besides, the opponent's fake move is too fake. As a result, he waited until the breakthrough and shooting angle were almost blocked by him. Then the Canadian striker hurriedly tried to break Lin Yaodong with a low and flat shot. of ten fingers off.

But the Canadian fans in front of the TV, as well as his teammates behind him, soon saw a scene of despair.

I saw that Lin Yaodong quickly stretched out his arms at the moment when the opponent shot, and his long legs also opened in the direction of the shot, and accurately blocked the football with his thighs.

The Canadian striker immediately stepped forward to make a follow-up shot, but Lin Yaodong's technical movements and secondary reactions were too fast. After blocking the football, he immediately leaned the ball towards himself and the ground based on his feeling and experience, using his own skills like a textbook. The body and the ground firmly controlled the ball in his arms, and did not give the opponent a chance to make up shots.

At this moment, the Canadian striker must be full of despair and annoyance. He didn't control his shot and kicked Lin Yaodong's shoulder.

"beep!"

The referee's sharp whistle immediately sounded. Even if he had a mission on his body, even if he was playing against the Chinese team, the Bangzi team, such an action of violating the goalkeeper in broad daylight could not escape the punishment of the ruby ​​card.

The Canadian forward didn't even have any chances to get away with it. He knelt on the ground on the spot and buried his head deep in the turf.

At this moment, even elementary school students know what is waiting for him. As long as the goalkeeper controls the ball with his hands in the penalty area, then kicking the goalkeeper is the easiest and most surefire way to get a red card, and 100% will face a suspension. punish.

"I'm fine, he's pulled back!"

Just when the Chinese players were all furious and ready to come up to surround the culprit, the most painful scene happened.

The referee blew his whistle all the way to the front and back of the Canadian striker. Lin Yaodong stood up first to help the opponent take the initiative to excuse him, and then showed the referee that he was not injured where he was kicked.

"Well, it's really amazing for him to be such a good person!"

After Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, and the nearby Chinese players rushed to the scene, they were all in a dazed state.

In this case, the drills in their training, isn't it like this?

Wu Jie quickly thought of why Lin Yaodong didn't roll all over the floor according to the instruction in training, but made such a Madonna-like move.

The reason is very simple, this action is destined to receive a red card regardless of whether the opponent accepts it or not, and Canada is likely to be an opponent that they will never meet again in this life.

At this time, Lin Yaodong chose to be the Madonna to show off his moral character. After the competition, he will be well received by the public opinion all over the world. Maybe it will become a model for promoting "fair competition" in the future.
