President Zhu chuckled and said: "Of course, this time I am here to distribute rewards to the players on behalf of the Sports Department."

Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously: "Is there any reward?"

"Of course." President Zhu said: "In addition to the material rewards ranging from 200,000 to 500,000 yuan per person, we will also post the photos of all team members on the most colorful honor list of the Sports Department.

location."

Zhang Xiao didn't understand the purpose of this, but Coach Robin next to him knew it very well. After hearing what President Zhu said, he was filled with surprise and said, "President Zhu, are you telling the truth?"

For these players from the Chinese football team, three to five million is not a big deal at all. What they want most is honor.

There is a list of honors in the Sports Department, which contains photos of Chinese athletes and their achievements on the sports field.

Unfortunately, so far, no Chinese football player has made it onto the list.

If these players can be on the list, it will undoubtedly be a huge honor.

"Of course!" President Zhu said: "No matter whether you can win this World Cup or not, all the players will be on the list, but if there is an extra Hercules Cup in the photo, the feeling will be different."

Robin said: "Don't worry, President Zhu, we will definitely do our best to win the Hercules Cup."

President Zhu smiled and said, "If that's the case, that would be great."

Relevant officials from the Chinese Football Association began to take turns speaking to cheer for the players.

However, these words sounded a little sleepy to Zhang Xiao's ears, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly returned to his room.

Half an hour later, Robin opened the door and walked in.

Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "Have they finished talking?"

Robin nodded and said, "Well, that's it. I really envy you. If you want to leave, just leave."

Zhang Xiao said: "I don't mean anything else, mainly because I think their speech is too boring. Coach Luo, tonight is the quarter-finals between the Pakistan team and the F team. Are you interested in going over and watching?"

Robin smiled bitterly and said: "If I had the chance, I would definitely go, but unfortunately the tickets have already been sold out."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "That's not a problem, I can take everyone to the VIP box No. 1."

When Robin heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Did you buy VIP Box No. 1?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Three days ago, I spent two million US dollars to buy it from a rich man."

Robin suddenly became excited and asked, "How many people can it accommodate?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "The room is about 120 square meters. There should be no problem with 20 or 30 people. It's just a little crowded."

Robin shook Xianxia's arm fiercely and said: "Great, a little squeeze is nothing. Let's go and see it together tonight."

Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't you call President Zhu and the others?"

Robin shook his head and said: "No, if they pass by, the players will not be able to go. At this critical moment, it is more important for the players to watch this game."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "If they call for punishment, you can blame this matter on me. Anyway, I am not a professional athlete. There is nothing they can do against me."

Robin nodded heavily and said, "Well, don't worry, I will definitely do this!"

Zhang Xiao: "..."

I just said a polite word, do you still take it seriously?

However, now that I have said it, it is hard to regret it.

That night, Zhang Xiao and Robin brought all the players and coaches of the Chinese football team to the match between the Pakistan team and the F team.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone walked into VIP Room No. 1.

Good guy, this VIP room covers an area of ​​about 130 square meters. It is very well decorated. There are four tall and beautiful young girls standing inside, ready for the VIP's orders at any time.

Zhang Xiao waved to them, gave each of them a thousand dollars as consumption, and let them leave directly.

After all, the room is not very big, so the four of them still take up space, how bad it is!

Soon, the quarter-finals between Team F and Team Pakistan officially began.

The situation of the two teams is very similar. They are both offensive teams with very delicate footwork and their core players are all world-class players. Therefore, the two teams switch between offense and attack very quickly and play quite well.

Wonderful.

Compared to the match between the Chinese National Team and the Eagle National Team, it was at least ten times better to watch.

In the first half, both teams had a goalless draw. At the beginning of the second half, the Pakistani team took the lead in scoring the opponent's goal.

The F country team was not discouraged at all, stepped up its offensive, and finally brought the score back through a set kick.

1:1.

This score was maintained until the end of the game.

At the beginning of overtime, the two teams played even more fiercely. Even Robert, the captain of Team F and World Footballer of the Year, was injured while grabbing the ball.

And the final result is still 1:1,

As a result, the two strongest football teams in the world had to engage in the most unskilled and cruel penalty shootout.

In this battle, the Pakistani team, which had the best hope of winning the Hercules Cup, unfortunately lost to Team F with a score of 3:4.

The players and fans of Team F were ecstatic, and their cheers could be heard throughout the stadium.

Zhang Xiao looked at the F national team players on the court and asked: "Coach Luo, F national team has become our opponent, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Robin smiled bitterly and said: "No matter which team becomes our opponent, it will actually be far stronger than us, so it doesn't matter to us whether their team wins."

Zhang Xiao said: "Coach Luo, you are too ambitious for others and destroy your own prestige. Miracles are created by people. I believe we will be able to create a miracle in this World Cup final."

Robin nodded and said: "It's already a miracle that we can enter the finals. To be honest, this is something I never dared to dream about before, but I didn't expect it to become a reality now."

"Mr. Zhang, thank you. You are the biggest contributor to our team's success today."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "You can thank me again after we win the Hercules Cup!"

Back at the hotel, Zhang Xiao posted a message on his Weibo: "In five days, it will be the final battle of this World Cup. I hope there will be a good result."

"The Hercules Cup is waiting for us!"

As soon as Zhang Xiao's Weibo post came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among countless netizens in China.

"Come on Xiao Shen!"

"Xiao Shen, you are the most awesome!"

"Since entering the group stage of this World Cup, except for penalty kicks, no one has been able to score your goal, Xiao Shen. Come on, I believe it will be the same in the final."

"Xiao Shen, you must hold on and save all the shots from Team F."

"I have never doubted Guo Xiaoshen's strength. The only thing I worried about was his carelessness..."

"Xiao Shen, the Hercules Cup depends on you."

"If our Chinese football team can win the World Cup Hercules Cup, I will definitely go to the Beijing International Airport to welcome it personally."

"Needless to say? I guess the whole capital will be boiling by then."

"God bless, we must let the Chinese football team win the Hercules Cup!"

"If God is really useful, then I will burn paper now."

"I think we should give God Xiao a ranking and pay homage."

"You're upstairs, you're so damned good!"

“···”

Just one hour after Zhang Xiao posted on Weibo, hundreds of thousands of comments in his Weibo comment area have been restored.

After Zhang Xiao saw this situation, he discovered that there were actually so many fans among his fans.

In the next few days, the Chinese football team conducted special training for the F national team.

Although Zhang Xiao did not participate, he was always watching everyone from the side of the stadium.

"Coach Luo, I feel like the brothers are a little too nervous? Look at their faces, they are all serious and about to drip." Zhang Xiao suddenly said.

Robin said: "It's not a bad thing to be nervous before the game. Let alone them, even I am a little nervous now."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiao shrugged.

Robin said: "Mr. Zhang, reporters from the Huaguo Sports Channel will come over for interviews later. How about you go and say a few words?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Won't you let Wang Mi and others show their faces more? I think they need the attention of the outside world more than me."

Robin said: "After winning the Hercules Cup, their attention will definitely not be less."

"It seems so!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

Soon, a reporter from the Huaguo Sports Channel arrived. It was a young girl with good looks.

When she saw Zhang Xiao, the female reporter's eyes lit up and she hurriedly greeted him. She asked with surprise on her face: "God Xiao, are you here to be interviewed by me today?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, the rest of them are training, I am the only one who has nothing to do."

The female reporter said happily: "That's great. My name is Li Zhiruo, and I am your super fan."

Zhang Xiao said: "Thank you for your support, Reporter Li, where should we conduct the interview?"
