Chapter 857: Jedi counterattack, enter the quarterfinals(2/2)
After running less than half a lap, their coaches, team staff, and substitute players all joined in.
As a result, for the first time in the history of the World Cup, a strange phenomenon occurred. All members of the entire national football team were running circles.
Wang Mi asked curiously: "Brother Xiao, what do they mean?"
Zhang Xiao's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said: "They are punishing themselves in disguise for losing the game. The last opponent of the Portuguese team is worthy of respect."
The other players nodded in agreement.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Portuguese team with a score of 1:0, which made fans across the country excited.
Major forums have reported the news one after another, and the comment areas are even more lively.
"The goal scored at the last second can be recorded in the history of the World Cup."
"Xiao Shen did it really hard. From beginning to end, he saved more than 20 threatening goals."
"Being suppressed by the opponent for 120 minutes, it was too difficult to win this game."
"I never dreamed that the Chinese football team could enter the top eight in the World Cup!"
"With the invincible goalkeeper Xiao Shen here, maybe we can really win the Hercules Cup."
"Come on Xiao Shen, come on the Chinese football team!"
“···”
At the post-match press conference, no one from the Portuguese team accepted an interview.
Robin, the coach of the Chinese football team, appeared in front of reporters with Zhang Xiao and Wang Mi in high spirits.
"Coach Luo, do you think you were lucky to win this game?"
Robin replied: "There is certainty among luck. There is a saying on the football field that football is round and anything can happen."
"The main reason why the Portuguese team lost to us this time was that they were careless. In overtime, even the goalkeeper participated in the attack, and their own half had no defense at all. This is inappropriate."
A reporter asked: "Coach Luo, I checked the data. The Portuguese team had more than five times as many offenses as you, but they still lost the game. Who do you think saved you?"
Robin pointed to Zhang Xiao who was sitting next to him and said, "Do I even need to say this? Of course it's Mr. Zhang Xiao."
"Mr. Zhang, today is your first interview as a goalkeeper of a football team. We would like to know why you suddenly want to participate in the World Cup?"
Zhang Xiao replied: "This starts from a variety show. When we were playing a football game, I found that I could save most of their penalty kicks, so I moved for the first time.
The mind of a goalkeeper.”
"Later, the Chinese football team had a friendly match with Tottenham, the team I bought. I gave it a try and felt it was OK, so I joined the national team."
The reporter asked again: "You performed very well in this game. Are you using Chinese Kung Fu to guard the goal?"
Zhang Xiao chuckled and said: "Maybe it's because of my years of martial arts training that my reaction speed is a little faster than that of a professional goalkeeper. In addition, my physical fitness is pretty good, so I can successfully keep the goal."
"As for what Kung Fu is about guarding? That's a bit mysterious. This isn't a fight."
"Mr. Zhang, the Chinese football team has become the top eight in this World Cup. In five days, there will be an Italian team that is good at defending. What are your chances of winning for the Chinese football team?"
Zhang Xiao shrugged and replied: "I'm not a god, how can I calculate it?"
The reporter asked: "Do you think the Chinese football team can win the Hercules Cup?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Coach Luo just said that football is round and anything can happen. It is not impossible for the Chinese team to win the Hercules Cup."
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that before the match between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team, you spent more than 10 billion US dollars on the Chinese team. Is this true? Now that the Chinese team has won, how much money have you made?
"
Zhang Xiao said: "I am the goalkeeper of the Huaguo team. Isn't it normal to have confidence in my own team? So I always buy the Huaguo team to win!"
"As for how much money I made, I'm sorry, this is a business secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world."
···
The reporters fired questions at Zhang Xiao one after another like a barrage of questions. Robin and Wang Mi next to him became completely decorations.
In the end, Zhang Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Sorry, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Let's just stay here today!"
"Coach Luo, let me take the first step!"
Robin nodded and said, "Okay!"
After Zhang Xiao left, the reporters targeted Robin and Wang Mi.
In the car, Zhang Xiao and Clark were talking on the phone.
"Boss, you've made a fortune this time!"
Clark said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how much I earned?"
Clark said: "The total is 66.2 billion U.S. dollars. If the betting company hadn't lowered the odds a lot, I'm afraid you would have exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars."
Zhang Xiao asked curiously: "Clark, did you buy the Chinese team to win?"
Clark said with some embarrassment: "I bought it for 12 million US dollars."
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "You have a good sense."
Clark said: "I mainly believe in your ability, boss. Facts have proved that as long as you guard the Chinese team's goal, it will be foolproof."
Zhang Xiao said: "Thank you for your trust. In the next game against the Italian team, you can help me invest 2 billion US dollars in the Chinese team."
Clark was stunned and said: "Boss, why did you invest so little this time?"
Zhang Xiao explained: "We in China have an idiom that goes too far, and we have already made enough in this World Cup. We cannot be greedy anymore, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
We are still in the financial crisis, and if Zhang Xiao earns hundreds of billions of dollars from just one World Cup, it is estimated that all parties in the West will start to target local tycoons.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao decided to stop immediately to avoid being targeted.
Clark said: "Okay, boss!"
That night, all the members of the Chinese football team celebrated in the hotel lobby.
Robin held the red wine glass, clinked it with Zhang Xiao, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I want to thank you very much. If you hadn't been our goalkeeper, we wouldn't have made it to the quarterfinals!"
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Coach Luo, don't say that. I am just a member of our team. Being able to win is the result of everyone's hard work."
Robin said: "You are just too humble. To be honest with you, I lost confidence in this World Cup after playing a friendly match with Tottenham. It wasn't until you joined that I regained my confidence."
Get up and fight."
"We have three more levels next, and we hope to pass them all."
Zhang Xiao said: "Even the most offensive team, the Grape Team, has been taken down. I believe no team can realize that we are coming."
"Coach Luo, cheers to the championship."
Robin said excitedly: "Okay, cheers to the champion!"
After drinking and eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
"Husband, you are so amazing." Yang Mi praised in the video.
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Don't rush to praise me. When we bring the Hercules Cup back to China, it's not too late for you to praise me again."
Yang Mi made a sound and said: "But pull it down. If you can help the national team win the championship, I can do whatever you ask me to do!"
Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked playfully: "Is it really possible to do anything?"
Yang Mi frowned slightly and said, "Your expression is too vulgar!"
Zhang Xiao said: "Wrong, to others it's called vulgarity, but to you, it's love, do you understand?"
Yang Mi said: "Believe me, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to go to the SPA."
"Be careful with your stomach." Zhang Xiao reminded.
Yang Mi made an OK gesture and said, "Don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao muttered: "With your carefree personality, it's strange that I can rest assured."
···
At nine o'clock the next morning, everyone gathered together to watch the match between the Italian team and other teams, hoping to find the other team's flaws.
After watching the two games, everyone's expressions were not very good, even a little solemn.
If the Portuguese team competes with the Sabers, then the Italian team is the shield. Their players are tall and tall, with an average height of more than 1.8 meters. They have strong muscles and strong physical strength. In terms of physical fitness, the Chinese team has no
Derby.
