Chapter 23 The Red-Eyed Rabbit

The Chinese team is ready to be challenged by the referee tonight!

This precaution is also necessary. If a good ball is suddenly called offside without preparation, or the opponent's offside ball is called a good ball, it will have a great impact on the mentality of the Chinese team.

But if everyone knows it well in advance and is mentally prepared, then their mentality and morale will not be affected too much.

On the contrary, Wu Jie hoped that the Soviet referee would be a little outrageous, so that no matter he won or lost, he would leave a widely circulated story, which would be beneficial in the long run!

In addition, you need to be more careful. Your defensive actions must be clean and you must not be shown a red card.

He can accept that the goal is disallowed, but he can never accept that a teammate is sent off. Even if the Kuwait team makes frequent tackles tonight, they cannot retaliate, otherwise they will definitely be kicked out by the Soviet referee. At that time, what is reasonable may become

It’s unreasonable. Western media loves double standards.

At the pre-match press conference, several news media from Europe appeared on the scene for the first time.

Of course they came for Wu Jie. During the Asian Cup for more than half a month, Wu Jie's magical performance gradually spread to Europe.

A small group of media began to compare him to Maradona because of his amazing efficiency in the Asian Cup and his seemingly innate football IQ.

The most crazy thing is that he has a height of 187m, a strong body, and plays a No. 9 and a half position similar to Maradona.

This Chinese genius who suddenly appeared may not have the uncanny ball sense and dribbling skills of Maradona, but he also has good foot skills and impeccable shooting skills, including passing to a certain level. Of course,

There is also an astonishing "pendulum pass"!

Such a player is likely to be more suitable for European football than Maradona, but since he has not played against teams outside Asia, there is a small question mark before all these evaluations.

But one thing is certain, his talent surpasses all Asian players, and he is definitely one of the most powerful and potential new stars currently.

In today's final, more scouts from Europe are ready to inspect this genius who was born in the football desert. So how will he perform tonight?

We won't know this for another two hours, but his performance at the press conference has always been good, and the Asian media all like to interview this eloquent little guy.

Of course, everyone hopes that he will say the wrong thing, so that more explosive news can be produced.

Soon, a Hong Kong reporter who wanted to make big news asked him: "What do you think of the temporary change of referee before the game? Will there be any dramatic surprises in tonight's final?"

Wu Jie replied: "Not any game can be full of drama. Usually the overwhelming victory of the strong is also a routine drama in the finals. Miracles rarely happen. Even if it does happen, the weak will probably not be able to defeat the strong, unless it is a man-made miracle.

, but I don’t think it should be called a miracle.”

This answer made the Kuwaiti media a little embarrassed. Of course they could hear the implication of Wu Jie's words.

But the media in other regions are pretending to be stupid, complaining in their hearts that this guy is too cunning, he only says half of what he says, hesitantly and vaguely.

At this time, a reporter from Taiwan asked: "Are you saying that the Soviet referee tonight will make a penalty against your team?"

Wu Jie looked with interest at the reporters from Taiwan Province who were present for the first time, and continued to say in a nonchalant way: "I don't think so, because targeting others is targeting yourself."

The media at the scene were very unhappy. Why are you so hypocritical? Can't you be more direct?

These media outlets know in their hearts that he is inoculating themselves, hoping to use this method to influence Kuwait's small actions.

But the question is, do Kuwaitis care?

The answer is of course: don’t care!

West Asians and South Koreans are the same on this issue, there is basically no sense of propriety, justice or shame at all!

Since they want to have fun, they won't worry about the problem of face.

Therefore, this vaccination has little effect. Fortunately, the team has already reached a consensus and is prepared to be severely targeted.

Before the game started, Su Yongshun said a lot of morale-boosting words in the locker room.

But no matter how encouraging words are, they are not as weighty as the real benefits!

Before the game, their deputy team leader brought some weighty good news. The Ministry of Sports has approved that 50% of the prize money won from the Asian Cup will be handed over to the Ministry of Sports, 30% to the Football Association, and the remaining 20%.

Seventy percent will be shared equally among the players, and the remainder will be shared equally among the staff of the national team.

As for how to divide the main players and substitutes, as well as how to divide the team leaders, head coaches, assistant coaches, and other staff, this is decided internally by each.

Finally, there is the personal reward. Wu Jie has already locked up the Golden Boot Award and the Best Player Award. This is also a huge sum of money. Of course, he cannot take it alone.

This part is 40% turned over to the sports department, 25% turned over to the Football Association, and 10% turned over to the Beijing team. He can only get 10% personally, and the final half has to be divided among his teammates and coaching staff.

Twenty years from now, this distribution ratio will probably immediately trigger collective protests from all players, including domestic public opinion, which will also open fire on the Sports Ministry and the Football Association.

But now it is 1980, and this kind of motivation has made the morale of the whole team so high. No one thinks there is anything wrong at all. At most, they think the points are a little less, but most people are already very satisfied.

The Kuwaiti prince doubled his bonus before the game!

The champion will receive 400,000 US dollars, and the 70% achievement will be 56,000 US dollars. Even if everyone shares it equally, it will still be 2,500 US dollars.

Wu Jie has already locked up the "Golden Boot Award", "Best Player", and "Best Team". This is a personal reward of 220,000 US dollars. Although he can only get 10% of the bonus, there is still 22,000 US dollars.

, plus the collective bonus of 2,500 yuan, this amount of money is enough to make Wu Jie the richest man in China instantly.

Wu Jie also doesn't think this share is a scam. Players in this era really rely on the country's training to achieve success. Although the 10% ratio is a bit small, he has already done a good job and can't even get 1%. In the end, he only rewards

A few hundred yuan.

Now that there is a 10% share, he thinks it should be the effect of that task, including attracting the attention of European teams and media, and even the transfer offers sent by European teams, which should be related to the "luck" in that task

, or related to "luck".

Otherwise, given the current discrimination against Asian players, especially Chinese players, in European football, it would be possible to pay so much attention to him, and it would be even more impossible to offer him a multi-million dollar offer.

But no matter what, this tangible benefit has made all Chinese players very morale-driven, and everyone is willing to risk their lives to win back the championship.

Because you can’t win the championship, the prize money will be greatly reduced!

Half an hour later, what the Kuwaiti players saw on the court were pairs of red eyes that looked like cannibalistic Chinese players.

This shocked them. The Chinese players' state and eyes looked like they had been in prison for several years and suddenly saw a group of beauties in cool clothes.

This description is almost the same. The biggest disease in China now is really the "disease of poverty"!

The effect of small money incentives is definitely stronger than that of beautiful women!

It should be difficult for Kuwaiti players to understand what this disease feels like, or perhaps even the oil countries in West Asia don’t know what the “disease of poverty” feels like.

In their eyes, how can a mere one or two thousand dollars drive people crazy with excitement?

After the Kuwaiti players won the Asian Cup, the 400,000 U.S. dollars was only a small part of their income, because the royal family would specially reward each player with 100,000 U.S. dollars, each substitute with 50,000 U.S. dollars, and then there would be an additional reward of 1 million U.S. dollars.

The head coach they hired from France had an annual salary of up to half a million US dollars at this time, and the entire coaching staff he brought also had a total annual expenditure of half a million US dollars.

These are not counting the rewards of qualifying for the World Cup. There will definitely be more bonuses waiting for them by then.

What does it mean to be extremely rich?

That’s it!

What does it mean to be extremely poor?
