Chapter 79 British Media
After the draw for the third round of the Champions League was announced, the British media began to use their tradition of being creative (making things up randomly) and kept diverging their minds to write stories for Wu Jie.
"There was a big fight in the Chinese genius team and the coach almost died!"
This is a report from Reuters before Bayern's visit.
Well, how should I put it?
Sure enough, it still tastes good!
But how this report was written? To put it simply, after Bayern played Leverkusen, when the whole team had lunch together the next day, Wu Jie and team leader Rummenigge had another conflict.
According to Reuters, the incident occurred because the entire Bayern team was watching a TV series together. Because Wu Jie did not understand German culture, he thought the TV series was too boring and said some barbaric and rude words.
Rummenigge reminded Wu Jie not to say that, and the two immediately quarreled, and soon became very emotional and eventually fought in the restaurant.
When Chernai saw all this, the Bayern coach was so angry that he suffered a heart attack and was sent to the hospital on the spot.
Finally, here comes the key point. The main purpose of this article from Reuters is: Wu Jie’s unreasonable brutality almost killed head coach Chernai!
But there was one problem they didn't consider at all. Wu Jie didn't speak German, so he was watching your sister's German TV series!
But is this all?
That would be a big mistake!
The "BBC" report at the same time was "Breitner slapped the Chinese genius"!
Wu Jie saw this latest news after he got off the plane. I don’t know how the picture above was angled. It really looked like he had been slapped.
"Isn't this the day I pinched your face?"
Breitner also saw the news, and looked confused and thought about it for a long time before remembering it.
It seems that before the game against Cologne, he deliberately stepped forward and pinched Wu Jie's little face while the CCTV crew was filming.
But from the perspective of this photo, especially after it was deliberately directed into a "slap", it is indeed easy to see that he slapped Wu Jie in the mouth.
"The British really... love to spread rumors as always!"
Breitner had nothing to say. Only the British could do this kind of rumor.
But he didn't know that Wu Jie was secretly complaining: "The German media is a little stronger. I just saw the German media reporting on China's fried monkeys out of thin air last week."
The "Deutsche Presse-Agentur" report seemed to regard China as the invader and the monkeys as the victims of the invasion. The entire report was full of nonsense that ignored the facts, confused right and wrong.
Therefore, Wu Jie didn't have a good impression of the German media. He saw similar reports several times a month. There were even calls to adopt those little monkeys who had lost their homes and relatives under the fire of flower growers.
This sound made Wu Jie extremely sick. When the United States invaded, no one pitied the homeless monkeys, and no one wanted to adopt any little monkeys.
It has only been a few years, can the double standards be more naked?
However, if you think about it carefully, you should understand that even the relatively serious German media behaves this way when reporting on flower growers, so why haven’t the British media taken off!
After Wu Jie checked into the hotel, except for training with the team, he never left the building to avoid being deliberately bumped into by a British woman. The next day, he was labeled as "harassed" by the British media.
But at the pre-match press conference between the two teams, the British media still gave Wu Jie a good look.
They are no longer just double standards, they are simply creating news.
"Wu, do you know that your country is invading a sovereign country?"
"Wu, the flower grower's army used the human flesh of prisoners of war to make cans. Is this true?"
"Wu, why do rabbits like to eat human flesh and babies with rice? Is this the secret to your success?"
"..."
When Wu Jie listened to these "fantasy" questions (all reported by foreign media, some of which were even more outrageous), he really didn't even have the mood to refute the rumors.
This is as outrageous as if someone will still ask you forty years later, "Does China have roads?" "Does China have electricity?" "Does China have cars?" How would you answer such questions?
"The first question is that we are the party that was invaded. The second question is that this is a complete rumor and slander. The third question is also a sinister smear campaign. What you are talking about is claypot rice!"
Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh bitterly when asked, but he had to explain these rumors, although he knew that no one would report his refutation of the rumors.
These rumors will continue to spread for decades, and more new tricks will emerge during this period.
Just imagine, if a white or black person has received such news information since childhood, they will certainly have a very negative impression of flower growers.
That’s why in the future there will be so many Europeans and Americans with relatively high levels of education who will still regard these things that cannot withstand scrutiny as true.
This is the brainwashing power of the media, or these people don’t care about the truth or falsehood at all.
This kind of news is just about them enjoying a sense of superiority and talking about you in a condescending manner.
When China completes its comprehensive rejuvenation and surpasses the West in an all-round way, this sense of superiority will naturally no longer be maintained.
But this will take time and the struggle of several generations.
China has gone from being number one in the world to becoming the sick man of East Asia. This is a process that has taken hundreds of years.
If China wants to fully rejuvenate and return to being number one in the world, it will not be a task that can be accomplished in a short time.
But this is a stage that China must go through in its rejuvenation, and it is also a task left by history.
If we cannot solve the troubles left by our predecessors, we will not be able to reach the heights our predecessors once had.
So this is really the best of times, but it is also the worst of times, and countless people are destined to carry a heavy burden forward.
"Sports", this should be the easiest task on the road to recovery, right?
After Wu Jie left the pre-match press conference, he suddenly thought that what he was doing now should be the easiest part of China's recovery.
In China's rejuvenation, is there any easier job than engaging in sports?
Wu Jie felt that there was nothing left, but this simplest task was the worst.
He must not let Chinese sports at this level hold him back again, especially Chinese football.
Wu Jie came to the lounge and thought about it carefully. The British media's focus before the game seemed not to be on the game, but this was also their brilliance.
Under normal circumstances, these news and rumors would definitely have a great impact on an 18-year-old Chinese player.
But they are destined to be disappointed. Wu Jie will not lose his balance because of these things, because he has seen so many similar reports.
He probably knows the face of the Western media better than the West itself.
So when something like this happens, the best solution is to get slapped in the face on the court!
"Nottingham is different from the average English team that is good at playing long passes. They are different from Liverpool. Both teams advocate ground attack and are good at ground coordination. We cannot underestimate their passing penetration."
Chernai once again emphasized the defensive arrangement before the game. When talking about English football in the past few years, everyone will immediately think of the stereotype of "long pass and lob".
But this impression is outdated. Liverpool and Nottingham Forest have won four Champions League trophies in a row for the English League One. If you still think that they only play high and high, you must have not watched football for a few years.
At this time, Liverpool and Nottingham were very un-English in their playing style. Both teams advocated ground attack. Not only were their passing and control abilities not inferior to those of the strong teams in La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A, they also retained some of the characteristics of long passes and lobs.
This has resulted in England's teams being extremely impactful in the Champions League, and they can always find ways to break through their opponents' goals.
In general, the English team during this period was technically rough and fine, with strong impact in the frontcourt, able to control the ball even with passing passes in the midfield, fierce defense in the backcourt, active running overall, and high efficiency in defensive counterattacks.
.
"Have you noticed that they don't mow or water the turf before the game? This shows that they are more afraid of our ground attack!"
Wu Jie expressed his opinions at the pre-war meeting for the first time. When he stepped on the field yesterday to adapt to the venue, he discovered this little trick played by the Nottingham people.
"This shows that they are afraid of us and dare not attack us!"
Breitner laughed loudly and said, "Everyone knows what this trick means."
"I mean, since they are afraid of playing ground attack with us, they are likely to return to the old tradition of the British team. They are likely to play long passes today."
Wu Jie's words made Chernai think about it. This is indeed possible.
"No matter what tactics Nottingham people play, we have advantages in technology, passing and defense, and as long as we play to these advantages, we don't need to worry about what Nottingham people think."
Although Chernai thinks Wu Jie's words are reasonable, Bayern's tactics for this battle have already been determined.
That is to control the midfield, be fast and efficient when attacking, be fierce and active when defending, and the most important thing is to give the ball to Wu Jie whenever there is a chance.
At the end of the game in football and basketball, no matter what the tactics are, it still depends on the player's personal ability.
Chernai now understands this very well. What kind of results Bayern can achieve in the next few years mainly depends on whether Wu Jie can maintain the phenomenal level during this period.
Chapter completed!
