On September 23, Arsenal ushered in the first League Cup match of the new season. The opponent was Manchester City, which had only 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses since the start of the season.

This team, which has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of English League One in recent years and went straight to the relegation zone this year, was originally not qualified to introduce it.

But Chinese fans still have some impressions of this club, because Gao Zhongxun, a Korean compatriot from China's Yanbian Football Team, just transferred to this English League One team at the end of August.

This deal is not big news in China. Gao Zhongxun is only a member of the national second team. Although he performed well in the league and was named one of the top five midfielders in the Chinese League last season, he wants to truly play in the first national team.

Getting a seat is currently not possible.

But after all, he is a member who has the ability to travel to Europe. Chinese fans at least know that there is such a number one figure. Today's contest between Arsenal and Manchester City will be somewhat interesting.

However, because Gao Zhongxun transferred too late, he only settled domestic matters half a month ago and took his wife to Manchester to report. So far, he has only played half a game for Manchester City.

But what makes many British media embarrassed is that the victory Manchester City just won happened to be Gao Zhongxun's debut, which made Manchester City fans praise him mostly.

Gao Zhongxun still did not start today. When he came into the second half, Manchester City was already 0:2 behind.

But this does not mean that Gao Zhongxun does not have the ability to start the game. In fact, everyone at Manchester City values ​​​​him very much, otherwise it would not be possible for him to appear on the stage for two consecutive games just half a month after arriving.

Gao Zhongxun's transfer fee is 200,000 pounds, which is not a particularly high figure for the Chinese Football Association, because as the core midfielder of the Yanbian team, Gao Zhongxun's performance in the national second team is not inferior to that of Ge Guangxing. He had not been able to do so previously.

The biggest reason for being selected for the World Cup roster is that he is three years older than Ge Guangxing and he is too low-key and introverted.

The performance of these two young midfielders in the domestic league is actually similar. Ge Guangxingqiang has higher potential. Now he has gone to the Portuguese Premier League (Super League) giant Benfica, while Gao Zhongxun, a low-key Yanbian genius, chose a place with a better chance of being taken seriously.

Manchester City.

Wu Jie thinks this choice is wise. Ge Guangxing's age advantage allows him to have the capital to compete for a main force in Benfica. Even if it takes some time, it is not a big deal.

Gao Zhongxun is 23 years old, but he can no longer delay, so it is wisest to go to a team that can quickly become the main player.

In the second half, Gao Zhongxun's performance was remarkable. The pride of Yanbian football was one of the best midfielders in China in the early 1990s. Wu Jie certainly improved him in this position.

talent.

It’s true that he hates Bangzi, but just like the Jin family’s orthodoxy in Inner Mongolia, he is ready to make North Korea’s orthodoxy become Yanbian.

If Gao Zhongxun were a few years younger, he would even plan to improve this person's athletic talent to a four-star level.

However, his current athletic ability is sufficient, and technically he is much better than in his original plane.

After Gao Zhongxun came on the scene in the second half, although there were still problems in communication with his teammates, the Manchester City players who had a poor record did not dare to coldly attack the world champion midfielder. Instead, they treated Gao Zhongxun as the core of the midfielder and kept passing the ball.

Put it at his feet and let this foreign aid organize and connect the whole team.

Gao Zhongxun also lived up to his championship halo. His passing and controlling ability was obviously better than that of his teammates, and his organization and scheduling in the midfield were also quite enthusiastic. In particular, he had an offensive ability that cannot be underestimated. He almost passed the game in the second half.

He jumped into the attack and scored a long shot from 30 meters away.

But this is not all of his strengths. Gao Zhongxun's physical fitness is considered to be at the top level even in the national team. Coupled with his outstanding mental attributes, he also has good defensive ability and leadership skills.

Of course, these still couldn't stop Arsenal from continuing to fight against Manchester City in the away game, and further expanded the results in the second half. In the end, they won 3:0 and Manchester City was probably eliminated in the first round of the League Cup.

But Gao Zhongxun's appearance at least gave the ineffective Manchester City midfielder a sense of presence, so that he would not be like a headless fly on both ends of the offense and defense.

Wu Jie is also very satisfied with Gao Zhongxun's performance. His Korean teammate has an upper-middle-level athletic ability in English League One, and his footwork and organization are considered to be among the best in English League One. Coupled with top-level physical and mental attributes, it is enough.

Let him firmly occupy the core midfield position in the middle and lower reaches of English League One.

But even so, his emphasis on Gao Zhongxun was a bit excessive.

The reason, of course, is to use it to disgust the stick, it is best to create a heart-wrenching contrast!

You Korean people play football - no way!

Our Korean brothers play football - OK!

But it's a pity that Gao Zhongxun's upper limit is there. Even if he openly stands up and slaps him in the face, the intensity will not be too great. In short, it is not loud enough!

So Wu Jie has always hoped to find a Korean of his own, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon. He still kills two birds with one stone!

At the end of September, just when Arsenal defeated Nottingham Forest 4:1 in an away game, completing all the games in September and maintaining a complete victory record on any front, Wu Jie's system reported another good news. Two new players were on the verge of breaking out.

The dead target has been found.

That's right, there are two near-death targets this time, and they are brothers.

Cui Xiuwen and Cui Xiuwu are both Koreans born in Yanji. Of course, it is not certain how much Korean ancestry they have, because many people are already taking advantage of the minority policies.

But this kind of thing can be accurately detected through the system. Anyway, Wu Jie is not short of money now, so he simply gave the two people a submicron genetic test to see how much Korean ancestry they had?

However, the results of the investigation made Wu Jie very distressed. Among the two Chinese ethnic minorities whose household registrations were written as Korean, the genes of the northern Han people actually accounted for Korean ancestry, and only Japanese ancestry was as high as that. What was most distressing was that there was also Mongolian Tunguska.

bloodline.

Well, this is really the product of the great integration of ethnic groups. Who knows what their ancestors have experienced, but the "Korean" on their household registrations is somewhat inaccurate.

But it doesn't matter, half of the people in the three East Asian countries can't tell them apart by their faces, and it's even more difficult to tell them apart from their facial features.

Wu Jie has decided to use these two brothers to play disgusting sticks. The question now is which sport should they choose?

He also looked at the short life experiences of the two men, and found that the two brothers had been receiving football training.

But they did not go to a sports school for further studies because their parents did not support their pursuit of the sports industry. Instead, they wanted them to go to college and preferably go abroad for further studies.

Wu Jie dug deeper and found that the parents of the two brothers were somewhat like Luo Taijun. They actually had anti-stick and anti-rabbit views. What they wanted in their hearts was to immigrate to Japan, but this was in line with the characteristics of the times!

The two brothers are now 13 years old, and their academic performance is indeed good. They have also received four years of football training in school, but their parents rejected the Yanji sports school twice when they came to recruit people.

Wu Jie was hesitant when he saw this. The two brothers' natural athletic talents were not low. One had a three-star talent, and the other even had a four-star talent.

Now that the two brothers are on their own, it is not impossible for them to choose football. 13 years old is indeed a bit old, but they are not starting from scratch. The two joined the school's football team four years ago.

The domestic football atmosphere and environment have been improving rapidly in the past few years. Although they can only be exposed to the most basic football training when they are not in a sports school, it has also given them some foundation. It is not too late to start receiving professional training now.

Wu Jie had to lament at this time that Chinese football is indeed on the right track. Even ordinary primary and secondary schools in Yanbian have qualified basic football training capabilities. No wonder the youth echelons in various provinces and cities are showing a talent spurt.

If this state develops for a few more years, I'm afraid a true natural genius will be enough.

But this also means that Chinese football no longer lacks talent. Even players like Fan Zhiyi who have proven themselves in their original level and have strengthened their talents in this level may not be able to steadily enter the national first team in the future. It can be seen that now China

How terrifying the talent explosion in football is!

As for basketball, the competition is actually greater. Besides, the height of these two people is about 1.8 meters at most, which is not suitable for playing basketball.

In addition, athletics, tennis, badminton, table tennis, boxing and other high-impact sports are either not in urgent need, or native talents are enough.

Before the reform and opening up, China had no shortage of world-class badminton and table tennis players. Wu Jie never planned to invest in these fields.

As for track and field, tennis, swimming, boxing and other sports, there are still many small sports missing, but after all, there are people involved in them, so they are not just needed right now!

“Then—baseball!”

Wu Jie suddenly thought of a project that he had not yet been involved in, and that was baseball!

In terms of global influence, baseball is probably even more popular around the world than basketball.

Especially in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, baseball is definitely the number one sport, and even in North America it is second only to football.

Of course, due to various objective reasons in China, not many people even understand the rules of baseball now, and it will probably be difficult to promote it in the next few decades.

But such a sports event that can stably enter the top ten in global influence needs to be arranged to be consistent with the status of a major sports country.

The two Cui brothers will have the opportunity to make the Chinese baseball team a super-class team that can compete with the United States and Japan in five or six years.

This is not nonsense. The rules of baseball are complicated to say the least, but it is not difficult to understand them enough to watch the game.

To put it simply, there are two teams of 9 people each divided into two sides: offensive and defensive. Those wearing gloves are on the defensive side, and those holding sticks are on the offensive side.

The defender's task is to prevent the opponent from hitting the bases, and the attacker's task is to hit the ball as far as possible and then hit the bases.

The two sides will play a total of nine rounds, each round is divided into two half-rounds, and the winner will be determined by the scores of both sides.

But why do we say that two superstars have a chance to transform a team? This is because the offense can play up to four batters in each inning, so having two superstars in the first and fourth bats is naturally enough to do the job.

Completed most of the attacker's tasks.

As for the defensive side, although there are nine people performing their own duties, the performance of the pitcher and catcher can also make the tasks of the basemen, shortstops, and outfielders much simpler.

Therefore, as long as there are two superstars in a baseball team, and a few talents from football and basketball are strengthened, it is enough to create a team that is feared by any country.

Of course, they only need to concentrate resources to build a national team that can participate in the Olympics and World Cup. As for the domestic baseball league, it will only be simple for a long time.

But as long as they can perform world-shaking performances in these two competitions, the two Cui brothers can use their full strength to deal with the sticks - such as the scene where kimchi is used as a serving dish at a banquet and is removed as soon as the main course is served;
Chapter completed!
