Chapter 31: Really accurate at judging people!
“One million.” Zhang Yuan said calmly.
These three words are obviously very light, but when they fall into Zhao Decai's ears, they seem to weigh as much as a thousand catties!
"This... you are so lucky." Zhao Decai was very unconvinced: "But there is obviously something wrong with the referee, who favors the host country."
"If you ignore the referee factor, Portugal will not Lose!”
Zhang Yuan chuckled lightly. What Zhao Decai said made sense, but Portugal in 2002 was not as strong as he imagined.
"Okay, how about we have another bet?"
"Okay." One million is not a big sum for Zhao Decai.
"Bangzi has won now, and the next 1/8 group stage will be against Italy. Who do you think will win?"
"It must be Italy! ”
Zhao Decai was extremely sure when he spoke.
“The greats from Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Inter Milan are all in the team.”
“Buffon, Maldini, Keko, Zambrotta, Tottenham Ti, Piero..." Fatty Zhao knew all his treasures.
“With this lineup, kicking a stick is not the same as kicking a great-grandson, just play casually!”
How can Feilong lose when he rides on his face again!
"Oh, really?" Zhang Yuan deliberately provoked the opponent with a frivolous tone: "What if the stick wins?"
Zhao Decai snorted: "I don't understand football when I hear what you say."
"I tell you, even if there is a home field advantage, even if the referee gives face to the host country, football still depends on strength."
"With the strength of Italy, you can't lose!"
“In this case, do you dare to bet another one million? It’s still the same, no cash is needed, it’s just an investment.”
"Okay!"
Zhao Decai held his breath.
How many years have I watched football and I don’t understand the game?
Three days later, at 7:30 in the evening, Zhao Decai sat in front of the TV like last time, holding a drink in one hand and holding his little secretary in the other.
The whistle sounded, and the 1/8 knockout match against Italy began.
3 minutes into the game, penalty kick!
Zhao Decai’s face froze, this is crazy...
Ahn Jung-hwan made a free throw, and the audience cheered like a tsunami, but the goalkeeper is one of the strongest goalkeepers in the 21st century Buffon!
Seeing that the penalty kick was saved, Zhao Decai breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s right, you can’t score with Buffon here.”
In the 17th minute, "Wolf King" Totti took a corner kick. Vieri broke through the illegal pulling of several sticks and just used his invincible physical fitness to head the ball into the goal!
"Okay!" Zhao Decai clapped his hands and immediately blushed.
The spectators on the field booed loudly after the goal.
In the 21st minute, Totti and Jinnan competed for the top spot. A small scramble actually resulted in a yellow card from the referee!
Zhao Decai stomped his feet.
In the 41st minute, Koko was bleeding profusely from a vicious elbow hit by Yoo Sang-cheol, but at this time, the referee seemed to be blind and did not make any reaction.
When Zhao Decai saw this scene, he smashed the wine glass.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Del Piero also received an elbow like his teammates, but was whistled by the referee instead.
In the 53rd minute, Lee Yong-pyo's diving earned Tomasi a "yellow card reward" from the referee.
In the 59th minute, Bangzi received a frontcourt free kick in an excellent position. Zambrotta, who was dissatisfied with the ruling, stepped forward to argue and received another yellow card.
This is already Italy's third yellow card!
Zhao Decai was dumbfounded, this yellow card is free of charge?
At this time, the Italian team had discovered the conspiracy of Bang Ziguo and the referee, began to strengthen their defense, and asked the players to pay special attention to the opponent's "little moves."
In the 69th minute, Zambrotta was maliciously tackled and replaced injured. The referee was indifferent.
In the 79th minute, in the Italian penalty area, Li Tianxiu hit the back of the head of Maldini who had fallen to the ground!
"Is this playing football or killing people?" Zhao Decai almost went crazy.
Still, the referee was indifferent. Years later, Li Tianxiu admitted in a program that his kick was intentional and that he was not ashamed but proud of it.
In the 81st minute, Totti broke into the penalty area and was tackled with a stick. However, the referee showed him a yellow card for diving. Totti received a double yellow and was sent off.
Five minutes later, Italy's wonderful breakthrough was called for offside.
Finally, before the end of overtime, Ahn Jung-hwan of Bangzi Country scored a header, ending the game 2-1.
Because of this goal, Ahn Jung-hwan was fired from the Serie A team Perugia where he played a few days later and was never hired.
"I am stupid...lost?"
Zhao Decai's eyes were stunned in front of the TV, his vision was blurry, and he couldn't believe what happened.
“How is this possible?”
“How is this possible!!!”
Zhao Decai's adrenaline was soaring that he actually lifted a solid wood coffee table weighing dozens of kilograms and smashed it against the TV. After a flash of electric sparks, the room returned to calm.
The secretary next to him was so frightened that he huddled in the corner and did not dare to move, for fear that his boss would take offense at him.
Ding ding, ding ding...
At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet room, startling the little secretary.
Zhao Decai picked up the mobile phone that had slipped off the coffee table and looked at the caller ID.
[Zhang Yuan]
Clenched his teeth and picked up, Zhang Yuan's still calm voice came from the other side.
“Two million.”
“I don’t accept it!” Zhao Decai shouted, his voice almost breaking: “A black whistle, definitely a black whistle!”
“Bang country people have no shame. ! ”
"Mr. Zhao, do you think for Bangguo, which one is more important, face or winning?"
Zhao Decai fell silent.
"The baseball country will face Spain next. Does Mr. Zhao still dare to bet?"
"Who said I dare not!"
Zhang Yuan's provocation method is very effective. , Zhao Decai, who was already on top, immediately agreed.
"Even if they dare to be malicious, the game against Spain is a battle to reach the top four. I don't believe FIFA will let the black whistle appear in such an important game!" "Okay, that's still one million." Zhang Far from saying much.
Four days later, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the game against Spain started.
This time, Zhao Decai did not bring his secretary with him. He bought a new TV to replace the one he smashed. He sat on the sofa and kept shaking his feet, feeling uneasy.
“It’s impossible that Zhang Yuan was right every time!”
【Stubborn】
But things backfired.
Sweeping legs, Vajra palm, iron mountain support...
Shaolin Kungfu is good, really good~~
Shaolin Kungfu stick, really good~~
You are Vajra Legs~~I am Tietou Kung...
Bangziguo committed a foul and didn’t see it.
Spain tackles, yellow card served.
Bangziguo own goal, the whistle is invalid.
Spain broke through and the whistle was blown for offside.
The two goals were disallowed and were eventually dragged into a penalty shootout, but even a serious foul such as the goalkeeper moving the stick early during the penalty kick was ignored.
In the end, the Spaniards shed tears and the Bangzi Country smiled... The "strongest" record of Asian countries in the World Cup was thus born.
Vomit...
Zhao Decai collapsed on the sofa, his whole body was like a deflated ball, and he no longer had the strength to get angry like last time.
He was numb.
I thought about going dark, but I didn’t expect it to be so dark!
He, who works with coal every day, feels bad!
Ding ding, ding ding!
The phone rang on time just like the previous two times. Zhao Decai didn't even bother to look at the caller ID.
“Three million.” It was still Zhang Yuan’s voice.
"How did you know that Bangzi won the Congress?" Fatty Zhao had lost his temper and was just curious.
“Although I don’t understand football, I understand the Chinese people!” Zhang Yuan clearly had no trouble, but every word he said made Zhao Decai feel as heavy as Mount Tai.
“Okay, I’m convinced, I’m really convinced.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhao, the World Cup is not over yet, and the baseball nation will face Germany in the next game. "
"Why don't you watch?" Zhao Decai slapped the table: "The country must win."
"If it were me, I'd be so hacky. I'd just hack all the way to the end and emerge a world champion!"
"Oh, we have different opinions. I think Germany will win."< br>
"Impossible, I understand Chinese people now."
"Another million?"
"Just a gamble." Now Zhao Decai, even if he is cremated I can barely open my mouth, it's so hard.
Fatty Zhao said that, but after putting down the phone, he thought about it again and again, and then made a phone call in an unflattering tone.
"Hey, buy me one million Germans to win the next game!"
He didn't admit it with his mouth, but he already recognized Zhang Yuan's judgment in his heart.
Three days later, the semifinals.
Zhao Decai, who was in front of the TV, was surprised to find that the black whistle that had been used by Portugal and Spain in the three games was missing!
The penalties are extremely precise and strict, as impartial as a fair scale.
"This is really weird..." Fatty Zhao was puzzled.
"Could this match be manipulated by Zhang Yuan?"
Without the black whistle, Germany won the match reliably with its strength, without any suspense.
Zhang Yuan, who was on the set this time, picked up his cell phone and was about to make a call like the previous three times when the ringtone rang.
"Four million, hey, I'll beat you to it!" Zhao Decai felt the pleasure of succeeding in a prank.
“I want to know now, how did you guess that there was no black whistle in this game?”
Zhang Yuan smiled and replied: “I don’t understand football, but I understand baseball, except for Besides, I know someone else."
"Who?"
"Berkenbauer!"
That year, if the old man hadn't turned the tide, went to FIFA to shake people up before the match in Germany, and temporarily changed the referee, do you really think that Bangzi wouldn't dare to become the champion.
The four characters "Football Emperor" did not come for nothing!
Not only for his professional ability, connections, and appeal, the old man is a well-known Taishan Beidou in the industry. In this way, he had to rely on coercion and inducement to obtain a relatively fair right to compete.
Italy won the cup in 2006 and Spain won the cup in 2010.
Two teams that were destroyed by sticks and black whistles in the game won the championship in the two consecutive World Cups.
In the end, it all comes down to strength.
Zhao Decai listened quietly to Zhang Yuan's analysis and explanation. He was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he finally spoke...
"You're really good at reading people!"< br>
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for the four million."
"You're welcome, I have to thank you!"
Zhao Decai changed his mind temporarily and listened to Zhang Yuan and bought Deutsch Win, making a small amount of cash.
[Received thanks from Zhao Decai, XX length +0.3, X ability +5! 】
Rub! ! !
Zhang Yuan's eyes widened when he saw the attribute gains that Zhao Decai had brought to him.
You really are...
"Mr. Zhao!"
"Huh?"
"You will be my brother from now on, the kind of pure brother!"
