"It's been a hard journey, Dad Xu. If you were in China right now, it would still be midnight!" Li Zhao took the initiative to give Xu Genbao a hug as soon as he came up.

He observed this group of young players again and realized that they should be the youngest group in Genbao Base. Moreover, Li Zhao also discovered that Zhaxi Anqiang was among them, and he must have just joined.

He came in and was placed in this team.

"Haha, I'm not tired at all. I also helped these young players have a good sleep on the plane, but I'm full of energy. I really want to go and watch the opening ceremony of the World Cup now. It seems that there is still time.

It's too late!" Xu Genbao also looked very energetic at the moment.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with you?" Li Zhao looked at the time and asked with some uncertainty.

"No problem!" Xu Genbao said.

"Okay! I'll help you get the tickets. When you get to the club later, put your luggage away, and then we'll go to the venue together." After Li Zhao said this, he immediately dialed Laura's number. At this time, she was the only one.

There is still a certain amount of money left in my hand.

"Li Zhao, I knew you would call me at this time. Are there not enough tickets again? How many more tickets do you need this time?" Laura's voice came from the phone. Li Zhao had also bought tickets for his family before.

She got some tickets for the opening ceremony and the first game.

As a gang's business, scalping tickets definitely exists, but Smith and the others will not go too far, and they still have a certain moral bottom line. Nowadays, Smith has gradually delegated power to Laura in many gang businesses, and these things have come to her

The work is done in a more standardized manner. Since it cannot be eliminated, we can guide it in a good direction.

This aspect is related to Li Zhao. Many times she will talk to Li Zhao about these issues and hope to get advice. Although Li Zhao usually does not dabble in this aspect, he has also been exposed to some political and people's livelihood matters.

In addition, he was well-read, so he actually gave her some good advice.

However, what Li Zhao did not expect was that he had never thought of changing the current situation in this area, but unknowingly made some magical changes happen through Laura.

"There are a lot of people this time, probably..." Li Zhao said, then looked at Xu Genbao and the others and asked, "By the way, how many people are here in total?"

"Counting thirty~, thirty-two people!" Xu Genbao said. He also understood what Li Zhao was going to do, and he regretted his casual remarks just now, but he also knew that he could not persuade Li Zhao.

"Thirty-two tickets, it should be no problem, right?" Li Zhao said uncertainly. He was also a little embarrassed, but since the words had been spoken, he could only act according to the situation.

"This is a lot, I guess it will be difficult to handle." Laura said.

"Don't think that I don't know the situation on your side. You should definitely have this amount of money." Li Zhaodao.

"Okay, the remaining tickets should be about the same. I can give them all to you, but it's up to you whether it succeeds or not." Laura began to make conditions at this moment.

"Can I invite you to the biggest restaurant here for dinner tonight?" Li Zhao said.

"I'm not sincere enough, it's just that I don't care about it!" Laura did not let go. Ever since she tasted a dish cooked by Li Zhao himself, her requirements for delicious food have become higher and higher.

"Okay, then I will cook with my own hands to make a four-gill seabass soup. This is the authentic way of making a local specialty in my hometown, but you can't eat it normally." Li Zhao was also helpless, as this girl's appetite was now being fed by him.

Tricky.

"Okay, deal!" Laura's answer should be very cheerful.

"It's done, let's go!" After making the phone call, Li Zhao gave Xu Genbao a gesture indicating that everything was under control.

Xu Genbao didn't say much about what Li Zhao had done, but he was inexplicably moved in his heart.

When Li Zhao and the others arrived at the Corinthians Stadium, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. His family and a few members of the club had already arrived here first, and the opening ceremony had already started for a short while.

.

Xu Genbao took the young players and greeted them all, and then everyone's attention was focused on the field.

I have to say that sitting at home and watching TV at such a grand occasion is completely different from being there. Li Zhao still clearly remembers that during the last World Cup in South Africa, he only knew a little about football and could only watch TV at home.

.This time, he was finally able to experience this feeling on the spot. But this was obviously not enough. He hoped that maybe next time, he could personally participate in the World Cup.

The President of Brazil also attended the opening ceremony in person. The content was divided into three parts: nature, human beings and football.

At this time, the performers in the venue were dancing the cheerful traditional Brazilian samba dance, showing their enthusiasm to the world.

Then came Capoeira, known as the Brazilian war dance, which became an important element of the dance. This performance form originated in Africa but was integrated into the cultural characteristics of Brazil’s native aborigines, integrating dance, fighting skills and music.

As one, it is regarded as one of the cultural symbols and national skills of Brazil.

In addition, there are various performances such as gymnastics, trampoline, and stilts.

When the World Cup theme song "we are one" sung by Latin queen Jennifer Lopez, American rap king Pete Paul and Brazilian singer Claudia Leti sounded at the last moment, the entire opening ceremony reached its climax.

, and slowly came to an end in this atmosphere.

After the opening ceremony, the first match followed. Pinto, a 28-year-old Brazilian young man with paraplegia, kicked off the opening match wearing an "exoskeleton" robotic suit and became a warm touch in this event.

One scene.

The opening match started at six o'clock sharp, which was also four o'clock in the morning on June 13, Beijing time. The two sides were the host Brazil and Croatia.

Neymar was very active in the game. While he scored twice, he also helped the Brazilian team win the opponent 3-1, thus winning a good start.

After the game, the Brazilian fans were undoubtedly the most excited, with local fans filling the streets. Li Zhao and the others were ready to return to the club after gathering the others.

"Neymar is indeed very good. I really saw it today. But if Brother Zhao can play, I believe it won't be much worse!" On the way back, Zhang Yuning started to comment.

"You think too highly of me. Compared with him, I still have a big gap."

Li Zhao was still quite humble, he was self-aware, but then he changed the subject and said: "It's just today's game that made me feel the many problems of this Brazilian team, even though there are talented players like Neymar.

It has the backbone, but it is indeed much weaker than the previous ones. If it remains like this, I’m afraid it won’t go far.”

"The Brazilian team is not strong, how could it be! The score is obvious." Zhang Yuning couldn't believe that these words came from Li Zhao. He is a little fan of the Brazilian team and has watched those legendary stars play since he was a child.

The ball grew.

"I can also see that this Brazilian team is indeed much weaker, and their performance is also very unstable. Although they won this game by two goals, they faced Croatia, which is of average strength, and the process was not

Relax. If you don't believe it, we can continue to look forward." Xu Genbao agreed very much with Li Zhao's words. As an old man in the world, he has a very vicious vision.

"Well, after all, you have come all the way today, so you should rest early when you go back. I have already been in contact with the teams of the same age that you are training with. I believe you will have a game in two days." Li Zhao said.

.

"Then do we still have a chance to watch the game?" It was Zaxi Anqiang, one of the young players, who spoke.

"Haha, it's okay if you want to watch the game, but it depends on your performance in training and games. If you perform well, I'll have enough tickets. Even if you watch one game every night, I'll try my best to help you get it, but if you can't live up to your expectations, Mr.

If you ask, then I'm sorry, I can only watch it on TV." Li Zhao responded with a smile.

At this moment, his cell phone rang, and the caller was Laura.

"Li Zhao, you guys are really slow. I've already arrived at your club cafeteria, waiting for you to fulfill your promise!" Laura's voice revealed a bit of contentment.
Chapter completed!
