On the Internet, countless fans posted posts to celebrate the Hua Guozhu team's victory.

"So excited."

"This game was won heartily!"

"It feels like our football team has been completely transformed!"

"If we just play like this, maybe we can all make it to the top 16."

"The top sixteen are nothing. With Xiao Shen here, the top eight are not impossible."

"By the way, what's going on with Xiao Shenshen? Why did he let someone score a goal?"

"Are you pigs? You showed 100% defensive ability in the first game, but then you still have nothing to show for it!"

"That's right, that's right. If you expose all your strength right from the start, others will target Xiao Shen later. This is a strategy!"

"Yes, it must be Xiao Shen's strategy!"

“···”

After the game, Robin and the two players who scored goals, Wang Mi and Luo Feng, were interviewed by reporters.

"Coach Luo, first of all, congratulations to you and your team for winning the first football game. What do you think is the key to the team's victory?"

Robin replied: "The fighting spirit, the fighting spirit shown by the players in this game makes me very gratified. After the first half ended 1:0, we have to choose who is the best defensive counterattack in the second half."

"But all the players did not agree with this tactic and wanted to expand the lead. So everyone saw that at the beginning of the second half, we were playing attack against attack."

The reporter asked: "Wang Mi, Luo Feng, you scored a goal in less than a minute after the game started. Is this something you had discussed before?"

Wang Mi nodded and said: "This is an offensive method that Brother Xiao suddenly came up with when he was having dinner yesterday. Coach Luo thinks he can give it a try. It doesn't matter if he doesn't succeed.":

"I didn't expect to actually score the opponent's goal. This should be regarded as an unexpected surprise."

The reporter asked: "So, Xiao Shen has something to do with these two goals, right?"

Wang Mi and Luo Feng nodded at the same time and said, "Of course."

The reporter said: "Since Xiao Shenshen is such a great hero, I would like to ask Coach Luo, why don't you let him come out for an interview? There is news that Xiao Shen is too famous and doesn't even participate in training. As a result, the relationship between you and him is not very good. This is

Really?"

"It must be fake!" Robin said: "Mr. Zhang and I live in the same room. If we don't have a good relationship, do you think it's possible?"

"Originally, I wanted him to come for an interview, but he didn't agree, saying that you guys are the ones who like to dig holes, and he didn't want to see you."

"Poof!"

"Hahaha!"

When the reporters heard this, they burst into laughter.

Twelve years ago, the Chinese national football team won the ticket to the World Cup for the first time. As a result, they played three games, not to mention winning, and even scored zero goals.

This time, the Chinese football team not only won, but also scored two goals, which made the Chinese fans extremely gratified and happy.

The entire country of China was caught up in the carnival of fans.

Almost all the football jerseys of major brands have been sold out. The numbers of the paints are those of Zhang Xiao, Wang Mi, and Luo Feng, and all of them have been snapped up.

The Chinese Sports Channel replayed three football matches in a row the next day, and the ratings reached over 3%. This shows how strong the influence of the World Cup team on China is.

After playing against Colombia, the Chinese football team had a small celebration in the hotel that night, and then had a day off the next day.

On the third day, the next game of North Station begins against Poland.

Compared with Colombia, Poland's offensive ability is one level stronger, but its defense is not that good.

Robin decided to use a 433 formation to attack the opponent's back line. Of course, this was also because the goalkeeper was Zhang Xiao, so the front could attack without any scruples.

If it were any other goalkeeper, Robin would never dare to take such a risk.

While the team members were training, Zhang Xiao was sitting in the hotel playing games. This was not because he was unwilling to train, but because the team members were unwilling to train with him.

There was no way, Zhang Xiao was too perverted. When he defended the goal, no one could kick it in. It really affected his mood, so everyone unanimously requested that Zhang Xiao not be allowed to participate in training.

"Hey, boss, according to your wishes, I invested 1.6 billion U.S. dollars in the match between the Chinese football team and the Colombian football team and made 1.5 billion U.S. dollars."

"The next game will be against the powerful Poland. Do we want to continue to beat the Chinese team to win?"

At this time, Clark called Zhang Xiao and asked.

It turns out that in the game Qianxi, the major betting centers in Europe and the United States fired the odds of each football team.

The Chinese football team is the worst, with odds of 1:5.8.

Without saying a word, Zhang Xiao asked Clark to raise the odds of the Chinese football team to about 1:1, spending a total of 1.6 billion US dollars.

Clark originally thought that Zhang Xiao did this entirely out of his feelings for China, but he didn't expect that the Chinese team actually won.

So after Clark received the money, he immediately reported to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao asked: "What are the odds of the Huaguo team now?"

Clark replied: "Although Poland is stronger than the Colombian team, because the Chinese team performed well in the first game, the odds are lower, 1:3.7, and the total amount is 2.2 billion US dollars."

Zhang Xiao said without hesitation: "Buy the Chinese team to win and continue to increase the odds to 1:1."

"Understood." Clark agreed.

···

Three days later, the match between the Chinese football team and the Polish football team was held as scheduled.

What makes people speechless is that it rained lightly that day and the stadium became very wet. Although both sides fought hard, they both ended up with a goalless draw and had to settle for a penalty shootout.

When Robin saw this situation, a bright smile appeared on his face.

With Zhang Xiao here, the penalty shootout is nothing.

Sure enough, with Zhang Xiao letting go, the Chinese football team won with difficulty with a score of 4:3.

The Chinese nation is in a state of complete excitement. It has qualified for qualifying by winning both games in the group stage. This means that the Chinese team has entered the top 16. The difference is whether they enter as champions or second place.

"Husband, didn't you say you are invincible? Why did you let two teams score four goals?" Yang Mi called Zhang Xiao via video and asked.

Zhang Xiao smiled and explained: "This is a strategy. I can't expose my strength too early, otherwise it will be difficult to play later."

"By the way, let me tell you some good news. I won more than 4 billion US dollars through these two football games."

Yang Mi exclaimed: "Have you been gambling?"

Zhang Xiao snorted and said, "I can't help it. Those European and American fans have to stuff money into my pocket. I'm really embarrassed not to accept it!"

Yang Mi sighed and said, "Just blow it, I tell you, don't capsize in the gutter."

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "As long as I have this pinnacle of stability, the Chinese football team will not be able to capsize the boat."

Sure enough, in the third group match against Senegal, the Chinese football team once again won the game with a score of 1:0.

Zhang Xiao once again made a huge profit of 1.8 billion US dollars.

With three wins from three games, the Chinese football team entered the top 16 of this World Cup with great pride and pride as the first place in the group.

Chinese fans vented their excitement online.

"Hahaha, we won."

"After waiting for decades, I finally saw the national team reach the top 16 of the World Cup."

"Damn, I was so excited that I cried."

"I originally thought that this national football team would be a bronze, but I didn't expect that it would be a king. What an unexpected surprise!"

"The biggest contributor to being able to beat these three strong teams is our little god."

"That's right, both goals in the first game were related to Xiao Shen. In the penalty shootout in the second game, Xiao Shen used his condition carefully and saved two goals. In the third game, Xiao Shen blocked his opponent for 16 consecutive times.

This threatening shot was simply awesome."

"With Xiao Shen as the goalkeeper, maybe we can really win the Hercules Cup."

"Please, those upstairs, please stop daydreaming, although I also want to dream about this."

“···”

···

The next day, the Chinese team's opponent in the 16th and 8th place appeared. It was the traditional strong football team, the Portuguese team.

The two teams will face off in a week.

The Portuguese team has always been one of the favorites to win the World Cup, especially in this World Cup, the Portuguese team is not a little bit stronger than before.

The team not only has European Footballer of the Year Lampard, but also two of Europe's top players, forward Wells and center Lola.

The three of them formed a small offensive team that was invincible and unstoppable.

As long as they don't encounter an Italian team that's good at defense, they won't lose to their opponents in the final penalty shootout and become second.

It's a blessing in disguise, but it's a blessing in disguise.
