Chapter 320 A plate of loose sand(1/2)
Before the game, when the players from the two teams shook hands, the Liverpool players all had grim faces, and it was clear from one glance that they were not in a good mood.
This is because they feel that Wu Jie, who is smiling, seems to reveal a malicious sarcasm under his smile, as if he is mocking them: Hi, we meet again, my defeated generals!
This is really an injustice to Wu Jie. What he was thinking at this moment was: Liverpool, Liverpool, can your stadium not collapse this year? As long as it doesn’t collapse within four years, and it collapses twice a year after four years, if it’s really not possible, let Manchester United help.
It’s okay to pay it as interest once!
If Liverpool continues to collapse in this year's Champions League, his journey to League One will quickly come to an end.
He will not share the hardships in a league that cannot play European games, so he has been considering whether to use cards to help Liverpool extend for a few more years?
There are such cards in the system. For example, the "Appeasement Card" can have the effect of delaying negative events, but it will have side effects after being used, and the final loss will inevitably be greater.
Wu Jie feels that this is more in line with his interests, so he plans to use a silver-level "appeasement card" for Liverpool every day after the start of the Champions League.
If you use a diamond-level or even legendary-level "Appeasement Card", the effect will of course be countless times better, and the side effects will be much lower.
But what he wants is to make the side effects as big as possible. Do you really think he wants to help the British? He just wants British football to die!
Wu Jie is also guessing, wondering if this will force Liverpool to continue for four years, will the entire stadium collapse when it finally breaks out?
The life of the British is also life!
As soon as Wu Jie thought of this, his thoughts immediately turned to the game and he stopped thinking about it.
#####
Arsenal's starting lineup today is, firstly, much younger than last season in terms of age, and secondly, it is astoundingly high!
Frontcourt: Wu Jie, 21 years old, 190m, Gary Lineker, 177m, 24 years old
Midfielders: Bell Brooke 25m, 185m, Michel Laudrup 183m, 20m, Felix Magath 174m, 31m, Laurie Cunningham 173m, 28m Mobile::
Backcourt: Brigl 187m, 29m, Terry Butcher 192m, 26m, Steve Bold 22m, 185m, Viv Anderson 28m, 184m
Goalkeeper: David Bloom 192m, 26 years old.
British football has always been famous for its physicality, especially its "height" and "speed", which rank among the best in the world.
These are also the two magic weapons they use to defeat their opponents. You can find a large number of tall, fast players in any team in English League One. The average height is even higher than the average height in English League Two.
But for a lineup like Arsenal, whose average height reaches 183.8m, the average height of the entire team reaches 184.6m, which is among the top even in English League One. They have a daunting pressure in terms of height.
However, Arsenal does not play the traditional long-passing style of British football. They prefer to play on the ground and play a style that is definitely considered technical in English League One.
If Falcao and Elkyr are also in their prime, then this Arsenal will be even less like a British team and can even play South American football.
These two are also long-established stars, especially Falcao, who is the key figure in Brazil's midfield and is already a superstar.
Both of them are sitting on the bench today because they have played three games in a row and just entered the rotation today.
English League One is different from other European leagues. There are 22 teams in the League One here, and they play 42 games in the league alone every season.
Counting the "FA Cup", "League Cup" and "European competitions", the top teams in English League One will inevitably play more than 50 games in a season. In the past few years, Liverpool often played 60 games in a season, so double every week. Matches are commonplace, but players' physical fitness is limited, so it is natural to constantly rotate to prevent players from getting injured due to physical problems.
Before the game started, Arsenal lost the coin guessing round and Liverpool chose to kick off first.
But Liverpool, who are also famous for their technical skills in English League One, were blocked as soon as they pushed the football into the middle.
Magath, the hateful German strongman, rushed forward like a madman at the beginning, biting the Liverpool player holding the ball.
Wu Jie, the center, also went back to the middle to help defend, and the two sides started fighting in the midfield from the beginning.
Liverpool's midfield star John Walker hurriedly moved the ball to the left. Here is Paul Walsh, who is good at breaking points alone. His style is somewhat similar to Cunningham. He has excellent explosive power, absolute speed, and foot skills. It’s considered delicate even in English League One.
However, when Walsh was trying to force Cunningham, the ball was intercepted by the latter. "Highbury Stadium" immediately let out deafening cheers, and of course there were all kinds of vulgar words that were not worthy of the stage.
"When I broke through alone, you were still in the youth training!"
Cunningham was very proud. Although his athletic ability had declined a lot, he was still much better than Paul Walsh in terms of experience, although he didn't know that this was one of his rare outstanding performances today.
After successfully intercepting the ball this time, Cunningham was stimulated by the cheers of the home fans. Not only did his brain not get as heated as before, but he quickly discovered that he could not use speed to complete a single pass, and then calmly found the player who was waving for the ball. Wu Jie quickly passed the ball.
If it were another person, his judgment would definitely not be so calm, and he would definitely not be so decisive in playing the ball.
But now even if Wu Jie doesn't wave, he has already planned in his heart to pass the ball.
Don't ask why, as long as Cunningham hugs the thickest thigh in the world, he won't let go.
Arsenal is his final destination. Don't let him leave even if you let him play as a substitute.
When Arsenal attacked, the head coach George Graham on the sidelines was shocked to find that they actually played in some organized manner?
Wu Jie was also surprised. He originally thought that this newly formed team would be very chaotic if he added a core member like him who had not even practiced together.
But it was not the case after the start. Although the Arsenal players did not have a tacit understanding with each other, they used a stupid way to deal with it. That is, everyone was staring at Wu Jie. They just cooperated with Wu Jie to launch the attack. Everyone focused on him. Operation.
This formed the rhythm of Wu Jie constantly cooperating with his teammates.
He really plays the role of connecting the whole team. Everyone just passes the ball to him and then cooperates with him.
But Liverpool are not stupid either. Since you use one person to connect the whole team, then if I guard this person with heavy troops, won't everything be done?
This time, after Wu Jie received Cunningham's pass, he immediately encountered Liverpool's menacing siege.
Naturally, he would not force himself into this situation, and immediately gave the ball to Laudrup, who had been responding not far away.
Laudrup can become La Liga's best foreign player in the second quarter of the 20th century, and he also has a lot of fans of future Barcelona superstars. How could he not have two talents?
Most fans born after 1990 have never seen Laudrup play. His peak period was in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During this period, Laudrup was once known as the top three stars in the world.
, and this is already a relatively modest statement.
Laudrup is similar to Zidane in many ways. Their talents are about the same, slightly stronger than vision and imagination, and their offensive power at their peak is also very good.
But in terms of leadership ability, resilience in the face of headwinds, and performance in key games, Laudrup is slightly inferior to Zidane and Platini. At the same time, he does not have Maradona's ability to turn the tide with his personal ability.
Coupled with the limited strength of the Danish team, Laudrup is destined to be unable to dominate an era. The history he leaves behind is slightly inferior to historical stars such as Platini, Zico and Zidane.
A player of the same level as Matthaus.
But this kind of player is most suitable to be Wu Jie's assistant. If he is at a higher level, it will be difficult for him to be willing to be the second boss.
Wu Jie watched the very young Laudrup receive the pass, immediately interpreted Liverpool's offense and the position of his teammates, and passed a very exquisite through ball, but Lineker failed to intervene in time.
But after it turned out to be a mistake, I was quite satisfied with this guy's performance.
But at the same time, I have to lament that British players do lack some spirituality. Lineker is already the most spiritual shooter among this generation of British players, but it is still difficult to keep up with Laudrup's ideas.
Liverpool got the ball back and launched a ground attack again.
British fans admire this style of play that doesn't take big shots easily but penetrates from the ground. The British commentator on TV even boasted that in addition to speed and high-altitude bombing, British football has now followed the world trend.
Gorgeous era!
The skills of the English have also begun to become more and more refined, which means that English football is no longer the European rough guy who only knows how to pass long balls.
However, as most of Liverpool's ground penetrations would be intercepted before entering the threatening area, or forced to the wing to pass the ball, Liverpool fans gradually began to feel embarrassed again.
It's fine now, but it doesn't seem like a threat?
Instead, Arsenal began to gain the upper hand. Although their offense was also loud and clear, and often failed to make contributions in key passes due to tacit understanding issues, the offensive process was still more pleasing to the eye than Liverpool.
This is a reflection of the player's personal ability. Wu Jie frequently retreated to support the game after the start and actively cooperated with Laudrup. This made Arsenal far more entertaining than Liverpool.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Wu Jie continued to cooperate with Laudrup in partial passes and cuts. Liverpool's defense was already good enough, but under Wu Jie's quick and agile interspersing and running, the two foreign players were still beaten.
A gap was made.
"He cummed!"
Liverpool fans watched Wu Jie seize a fleeting opportunity outside the penalty area, pass the ball with a clever stop, and then immediately turned around and kicked the goal. Everyone was shocked!
Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar concentrated his attention and immediately flew to make a save. However, what people did not expect was that during the flight, the football actually drew a beautiful arc and bypassed Grobbelaar's saving range and went straight to
Fly to the right of the gate.
"God, how come this ball is turning?"
"What the hell kind of arc is this? The Chinese are cheating again!"
"Do you have this ball?"
Fans from both teams stared intently at the football flying toward the goal, but unfortunately, this weird curve ball, which opened the eyes of the whole UK, eventually missed the goal post and flew out of bounds.
However, even so, "Highbury Stadium" also burst into cheers that resounded throughout the stadium!
The English fans in front of the TV also sighed: This world's number one man really deserves his reputation!
The delicate dribbling, passing and receiving skills displayed by Wu Jie in this attack, as well as this instant top-notch curve ball, cannot be found in England who can copy it.
This attack also boosted Arsenal's morale, and they actually suppressed Liverpool in the midfield for a while.
Although Arsenal has flaws in their tacit understanding, they rely on the leadership of two energetic foreign players, especially everyone who plays multi-person sports around Wu Jie, which to a certain extent makes up for the lack of teamwork.
Liverpool didn't hold back either. When they saw that the enemy was strong and the midfield seemed to be unable to win, they immediately retreated and launched a defensive counterattack. They didn't have the arrogance of the English League hegemons against the ordinary English League teams. It was even shocking.
It feels like this is against the powerful Bayern.
It’s easy to understand Liverpool’s timidity. In the words of head coach Joe Fagan, that is: Wu Jie is here, can An not be afraid?
This made Arsenal's head coach Graham even more stunned. Today's tactics were clearly for them to fight Liverpool's defensive counterattack, but now why do they seem to be fighting around Liverpool?
"It seems that this team is not suitable for defensive counterattack?"
To be continued...
