Chapter 854: The first victory, too cloudy(1/2)
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I have practiced kung fu to this point, and I am immune to cold and heat. As long as the temperature does not exceed 60 degrees, it will not have any impact on me."
Wang Mi exclaimed: "Damn, this is so awesome!"
Baoshuiyuan said: "Is this the function of true energy?"
Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are so angry, have you read too many martial arts novels?"
Bao Shuiyuan touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
Although Carlton is an African country, it is relatively wealthy. It is rich in oil, iron ore and gold. These three things support Carlton's economy.
On a per capita basis, the wealth of the Karl people is three to four times higher than that of the Chinese people.
The cities where several competitions take place are also very prosperous, which is why FIFA wants to hold the World Cup here.
The local area of Karl attaches great importance to the World Cup. The five-star hotel alone has booked more than 20 hotels to accommodate athletes from various countries.
The hotel where the Chinese football team stays is called the Royce Hotel, which is famous all over the world.
When the team entered Datang, the hotel managers and staff lined up in one or two rows. They all bowed and shouted: "Welcome to our hotel, boss."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then all looked at Zhang Xiao.
Robin asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhang, are you the owner of this hotel?"
Zhang Xiao was also a little confused and said: "I don't know!"
The person in charge explained: "Boss, Royce has a total of fifty-eight hotels around the world, and they were acquired by you a month ago."
Zhang Xiao exclaimed and said: "It turns out that Clark did it. It seems that there are several hotels in the previous investment bodyguard, but I didn't notice the specific names."
When everyone heard what he said, they were immediately speechless.
Wang Mi said softly: "Did you see that? This is the world's top rich man. He has his own industry wherever he goes."
Baoshuiyuan said: "How much money does Brother Xiao have to forget that he owns such an awesome world-class hotel chain?"
Luo Feng shrugged and said, "We don't understand the world of rich people."
As the owner of the hotel, Zhang Xiao was directly arranged by the person in charge to stay in the Imperial Box No. 1. The entire room was about 300 square meters in size. Except for the kitchen, all the facilities were complete, including a singing hall.
When the players came to Zhang Xiao's room, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I'll go, this is too luxurious!"
“This is simply the best hotel room I have ever seen, bar none.”
“I really want to stay here for one night!”
"Stop dreaming, can you afford to live with your small salary?"
“···”
Hearing everyone's discussion, Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Coach Luo, there are several rooms here, why don't you live in them too?"
Robin said: "This is not good!"
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Zhang Xiao said: "This room is large enough. Whatever tactics you need to arrange, it won't be too crowded if everyone comes in."
Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Robin nodded and said: "Okay!"
Wang Mi chuckled and said: "Brother Xiao, I like this karaoke room so much, can you let me live in it too?"
Before Zhang Xiao could speak, Robin immediately said: "No, you are here to compete, not to sing!"
Wang Mi was stunned and speechless.
Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Wang Mi, you are so incapable of talking. There are so many reasons to make nonsense, but you actually picked the worst one."
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this.
The next day, Robin represented the Chinese football team to draw lots. It must be said that Robin's luck was very good.
The Chinese team was drawn into Group H, and their opponents were Senegal, Colombia and Poland. The overall rankings of these three teams were all above China, but their strength was still far behind that of other groups.
Wang Mi said happily: "Coach, you are simply great."
Zhang Xiao also smiled and said: "Coach Luo, there seems to be a lottery station five hundred meters to the left of our hotel. Go and grab one quickly. Maybe you can get the first prize."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
Robin waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. Although the lottery we drew is not bad, the other party wants to grab it more than us, so we must not take it lightly."
Baoshuiyuan said: "Coach, please arrange the tactics!"
Robin said: "Our first opponent is Colombia. Their defense is very strong and their attack power is weak. I want to fight them with attack, so the defense line in the rear is the key. Mr. Zhang, it depends on you."
Zhang Xiao said confidently: "I still say what I said, as long as the opponent's shooting distance is five meters away, my place is impregnable."
Robin asked: "I have never asked you, what will happen if it is within five meters?"
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said: "That's fifty percent."
Robin nodded and said, "I believe you will be fine."
Zhang Xiao said: "I also believe in myself."
···
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The Chinese national football team ushered in its first group opponent, Colombia, and countless fans watched the game on TV and the Internet.
"It's finally starting."
"Damn, I'm so excited!"
"Hopefully we can win!"
"Come on Xiao Shen, don't lose a ball!"
"The Chinese national football team must win!"
“···”
One barrage after another is popping up on the Internet like mushrooms after a rain.
There was a sea of people inside the competition venue, and countless Chinese fans cheered for the Chinese team with various numbers and signs.
Many celebrities and artists were also present, including fans such as Li Liangjie, Wu Jin, Zhang Jie, Wang Feng, and Zhang Lin.
Zhang Xiao helped buy the tickets for these people.
"Du~'
As the game whistle sounded, Luo Feng dribbled the ball like a tiger down the mountain, rushing directly towards the opponent's half.
The Colombian football team focused on Luo Feng and did not notice that Wang Mi rushed into the backcourt like a gust of wind.
This was something they had already discussed in the locker room, and the first ball caught the other side off guard.
It's best if you can score goals. It doesn't matter if you can't. At least you can play with your own momentum.
Luo Feng's passing skills are still very good. After shaking the opponent's player in Guolin, he raised his thigh without hesitation and kicked the football hard.
The football passed through a beautiful Hu County and flew towards the front.
"Number six, the opponent's number six!" the Colombian goalkeeper shouted.
The defenders also discovered Wang Mi's presence and ran towards him one after another.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Wang Mi ran five meters forward and stopped the ball with his chest. Without wasting a second, he kicked the football directly and headed straight for the goal more than 40 meters away.
The goalkeeper used all his strength to jump up high, trying to block the ball, but his height was obviously not enough, and the football flew over his head and hit the net.
"The ball went in."
Less than half a minute into the game, the Chinese national football team caught Colombia off guard and scored a goal just through the cooperation of Luo Feng and Wang Mi.
The Chinese fans at the scene were completely excited.
Everyone has been predicting when the Chinese football team will score the first goal of this World Cup. Unexpectedly, happiness comes so quickly and suddenly.
"Oh yeah!"
"pretty."
"I give this world wave full marks."
"The Colombian players are all confused now!"
"Hahaha, I don't know what's going on, but the score has already become 1:0, anyone will be fooled!"
"A perfect start, we will definitely win this game."
“···”
On the playing field, Robin and the substitute players jumped up excitedly.
Zhang Xiao put his hands behind his back and said softly: "There is no need for a penalty shootout, I can rest."
After the celebration is over, the game continues.
To be continued...
