Wu Jie is training with peace of mind in Haigeng. For him, this intensity is no different from a vacation.

The only pity is that he didn't kick out all the guys who had modified their age for more than three years, but he could tell them all to get out after the training session!

No matter how much Su Yongshun likes someone he, Mr. Wu, doesn't like, he can't use him.

This dominance is not only reflected in the selection of players, but also includes the team's tactical play.

Wu Jie became more and more dissatisfied with Su Yongshun's coaching level, and soon asked everyone to play a 4-5-1 defensive counterattack lineup, with three midfielders in the midfield.

This is actually the formation used by Bayern in the second half of the Champions League final. Wu Jie believes that if the Chinese team wants to make a difference in the World Cup, it must adopt this simple and violent defensive lineup, supplemented by brutal "logging" tactics, as well as abundant

Physical advantages can make up for the current tactical, physical and technical deficiencies.

But in this case, Rong Zhixing would have no place.

This is where Su Yongshun has a problem. Rong Zhixing can play as an attacking midfielder and shadow striker, but he cannot play as a defensive midfielder. His physical fitness and confrontation cannot cope with this style of play.

Wu Jie doesn't care so much, he will never let the team pay the current price to understand someone just because they have made contributions in the past.

The sports field is so cruel. Even if he is as brilliant as Beckenbauer, Hamburg fans still think that he should return to the United States to retire.

At the end of the season, the German Emperor signaled that he wanted to return to Bayern and play for one more season before retiring. However, Bayern acted as if they had heard nothing and did not respond at all.

In the end, it was only with the support of the fans that Bayern had to invite Beckenbauer as assistant coach.

Beckenbauer was naturally so angry that he returned to the United States. Some Bayern fans also believed that the team's behavior was too inhumane.

But this is the reality that everyone has to face. There has never been a tradition of respecting the old and caring for the young in the sports field. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t, you can’t do it. Even if the leader says you can do it in the end, your opponent will still tell you with actions that you really can’t do it!

Rong Zhixing did not rely on his old age, although he was not willing to lose his position in the national team, because it would mean losing the opportunity to play in the World Cup. Now no one thinks that the Chinese team can't qualify in Asia.

But faced with Wu Jie's strength, Rong Zhixing still chose to exit honorably.

Soon, the veteran took the initiative to apply to leave the national team training camp, citing poor physical condition.

Su Yongshun repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but he could only respect the veteran's wishes.

Of course Wu Jie knows that this is Rong Zhixing's last pride. If there is no place for him in this team, then exiting gracefully and not embarrassing the coach and teammates is the best result for both parties.

At this time, some people may think that if a team has a roster of 22 people, why can't this veteran be allowed to go to the World Cup?

Because if Rong Zhixing is in the squad but does not have a chance to play, many people who are dissatisfied with Wu Jie and many officials who have their own small calculations will definitely take advantage of the situation.

If you say something that shouldn't be said, then the entire team will be affected by public opinion, and there may even be a crisis that causes chaos within the team.

Rong Zhixing's voluntary departure completely eliminates this possibility. It is time for the national team to undergo a blood change.

Wu Jie is in Haigen thinking about how to form the best national team lineup at this time. He doesn't know that Europe is launching a battle with him as the focus!

Since Bayern completed its grand "Triple Crown" parade, it has received transfer offers from several wealthy clubs.

The first one to come to the door was not Real Madrid, but Barcelona.

Although they have already negotiated a contract with the Argentine Football Association and Maradona, Argentina's first talent will join Barcelona after the World Cup.

But at this moment, the Catalans no longer regard Maradona as their first choice. They hope to buy Wu Jie for eight million US dollars, and together with Maradona, they can form a dream lineup that will sweep Europe.

Of course, Bayern didn't even think about it. They rejected Barcelona's transfer request and expressed through the media that "Wu Jie is not for sale." They would not sell him even if they offered him 10 million US dollars.

Then, Real Madrid really made a public offer of US$12 million, which shocked the whole of Europe!

Bayern were also taken aback by this big deal. They didn't expect that someone would spend tens of millions of dollars to buy Wu Jie.

This price made Bayern's board of directors hesitate for a while. Fortunately, they did not get carried away by the money in the end, because Bayern will produce results in the next few years.

If you sell Wu Jie now, it will be equivalent to digging out the foundation of the dynasty. In the long run, it will definitely be a loss-making business. Unless Real Madrid can quote a more exaggerated price, such as 20 million US dollars, then they will really sell it.

Already.

Naturally, Real Madrid cannot afford this price to buy someone. The US$12 million has quadrupled the current European transfer record, which is more expensive than the US$64 million Real Madrid spent to buy Zidane in 2001.

It wants to shock the whole of Europe, because this is 1981!

But the question is, does Real Madrid really want to spend $12 million to buy Wu Jie?

Real Madrid certainly thinks that if Bayern is willing to sell, they can pay the money immediately.

But they know that 80% of the time a deal will not be reached at this price, so the reason for announcing the news in a high-profile manner is actually to show it to the Chinese people who are nearly 10,000 kilometers away.

At this moment, a small team sent by Real Madrid has come to China. On the surface, it is to establish some cooperation with the Chinese Football Association, but in fact, it wants to poach people through the Chinese Football Association. The offer of 12 million US dollars is believed to be enough to let the Chinese people see their strength.

.

But Real Madrid didn't know that just after they went to China to cause trouble, Juventus offered Bayern $13 million.

The Agnelli family is also determined to win Wu Jie, and they are also not short of money.

After considering it for a few days, Barcelona also made a proposal that made Bayern's heart beat.

They were willing to exchange Maradona and five million US dollars for Wu Jie.

This proposal made Bayern a little excited. Uli Hoeness bargained with Barcelona on behalf of the team for the first time. He doubled the increase of five million US dollars, that is, using 10 million US dollars + Marado

Na came in exchange for Wu Jie.

Of course, Barcelona was so angry that they walked away because they couldn't accept this price!

Wu Jie, who is being fought over by the whole of Europe, still doesn't know that Barcelona is willing to exchange Maradona's five million US dollars for him, otherwise he would really be laughing from ear to ear.

But let’s not forget that Maradona’s performance in Barcelona was indeed not very good, so who knows whether Barcelona will really agree to this exchange condition next time.

If such a deal can really be reached, then as long as he does not stretch his hips too much in the future, even if Maradona still performs the Hand of God, it will be difficult to surpass him in historical status.

In early July, the Ministry of Sports finally sent a special team to meet with Wu Jie, but the members of this team did not look like it was led by the Ministry of Sports, because one member of the team was from the Major Projects Department of the Ministry of Development and Reform, and one was from the Assets Department of the Ministry of Finance.

The Management Department even has a secretary from the General Secretariat, who is truly a person who can reach heaven.

But it seemed that things were progressing extremely smoothly because of this secretary. The upper management's plan for him was: agreed in principle, but some details needed to be modified.

Wu Jie naturally had no objections, as those details did not involve his bottom line.

In addition, this "agree in principle" is also very artistic. It means that everything depends on the development of the situation. If things are done well, then "agree in principle" can be understood as consent, and then he will have a huge amount of political capital.

, and Wu Zhengsong and Ye Yuqi may not be at the level they originally thought they would be after returning to China.

Wu Jie doesn't need to worry too much about this matter next. The Ministry of Sports will work with several other departments to establish this state-controlled sports fund.

After the foundation is officially established, how to allocate money to the subordinate organizations of the Ministry of Sports every year and how to use this huge sum of money rationally will be discussed and formulated by officials appointed by the state. His "Supervisory Committee" only has the right to supervise and observe.

Right of suggestion.

At the end of July, the two-month first phase of training for the national team ended, and Su Yongshun announced the 22-man roster to participate in the finals of the World Preliminaries (see the author for details).

In the end, as expected, Chen Haonan's name was read at the last moment, instantly attracting envious and jealous looks from many people, because he successfully replaced Wu Jie and became the youngest player in the history of the national football team.

But this announcement sequence is quite interesting. The subtext of the coaching staff is obviously to keep Wu Jie because of his face, even though Chen Haonan definitely made the roster based on his own ability.

Wu Jie also knows that the coaching staff is dissatisfied with him. For more than a month, he has been dictating the team's tactical arrangements and there have been countless examples of overstepping.

This made the coaches headed by Su Yongshun very angry. However, Wu Jie at this time can be called a national treasure, especially after the previous special team learned that Wu Jie could donate at least four million US dollars a year, they gave it to him within a few days.

A Zhongnanhai bodyguard was transferred, and his status as a reserve hammer and sickle was also changed to a regular one.

Let's put it this way, now Wu Jie only needs to call Li Fenglou and tell him: Su Yongshun's tactics are not suitable for this team, and it is best to change to a new head coach.

Then the next day, the Football Association will arrange a new coach it thinks is suitable to replace Su Yongshun.

Su Yongshun also knew that Wu Jie was the real boss now. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only let Wu Jie treat him as a puppet.

Wu Jie later simply overturned all the team's original tactics and forced the team to play "defensive counterattack" and "logging tactics" according to his ideas.

This also makes southern players who have excellent skills but poor physical strength extremely uncomfortable.

In the end, only 6 southern players were selected in the 22-man roster, 5 were from Guangdong, and only Chen Haonan was from Guangxi.

At this moment, many of the eliminated southern players felt that Wu Jie was deliberately suppressing them. Even the northern players felt that Wu Jie was going to unite with the northern faction to squeeze out the southern gang.

Wu Jie was speechless about this. He only let so many northern players and players from the Central Plains into the squad purely for the sake of tactical play.

Because this group of southern players is limited by the selection and training of the southern style of play, they are basically of small, clever and quick skills.

If they are allowed to play ground attack, there will be no problem, and they will perform very well against Asian teams.

But if they are to play defensive counterattack against their opponents in the World Cup, they are indeed not as good as the northern players who are better at physical confrontation but have rougher skills.

Nowadays, whether it is football or basketball in China, the focus is on small and quick players. Players need to have excellent skills and solid basic skills. However, the "confrontation" aspect is not included. Basketball and football are the same.

However, Wu Jie knew that speed and technology alone would not make him far in the World Cup, because the advantages of southern players in these two aspects are limited to Asia. When it comes to the World Cup, let alone competing with South American players in terms of speed and technology, they will also have to compete with English players.
