Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 662 Jerome, Let's Take a Bet

The Mineirão Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

The first semi-final match between China and Germany will take place here.

The media has hyped up the match to an unprecedented degree. The clash between China and Germany has attracted worldwide attention, serving as a warm-up for the World Cup final.

Reporters are always on the lookout for firsthand information and news, hoping to improve their lives during this quadrennial extravaganza. So, anything that fans want to know will attract these media reporters like moths to a flame.

"Has Schweinsteiger suffered a thigh strain, casting doubt on his participation?"

"First-ever World Cup encounter between the two sides: history suggests Germany will reach the final?"

"Paul the Octopus chooses China, will the Chinese team pull off an upset?"

Can Shan Yongzhuo defy fate?

A dazzling array of reports, both true and false, can be overwhelming. Such reports are common before a major battle. The real tension only intensifies once the coaches and players of both teams step forward to make their statements.

Gao Hongbo and Le Fu didn't engage in any verbal sparring.

Gao Hongbo lacked confidence. Although Shan Yongzhuo had rallied the team to give them some encouragement, the gap in strength was still too obvious. Germany's team didn't have the same obvious weaknesses as Brazil's, which gave Gao Hongbo a real headache.

Löw is also known for his refined and gentlemanly manners; he even praised the Chinese team extensively during an interview.

Before the match, there was virtually no animosity between the two teams; in fact, there was a hint of mutual respect between them.
The players on both teams were less formulaic, after all, this is the World Cup, which only comes around every four years, and everyone wants to steal the spotlight and show their faces in front of fans all over the world.

The first to step forward and steal the spotlight was Boateng, the Bayern Munich defender. He actually has a good relationship with Shan Yongzhuo; the two were teammates and friends.

However, when it came to qualifying for the World Cup final, Boateng stepped up.

"I've found a way to deal with Shan. We're good friends, so I know him very well. In this match, I will completely shut him down. Sorry, Shan, I won't let you score a single goal in this match. My teammates will give me their full support, and we will defeat China and advance to the final!"

The reporters interviewing Boateng immediately perked up; they were exactly what they wanted – a war of words.

However, many reporters' excited eyes also carried a hint of disdain. Although Boateng had done them a great favor, they still felt that Boateng was bragging.

In the previous two seasons, Bayern Munich faced Manchester City, where Shan Yongzhuo played, in the Champions League. Boateng was so badly beaten by Shan Yongzhuo that he forgot his ancestors.

Who gave you the courage to say you wouldn't let Shan Yongzhuo score a single goal?

Young man, you're getting too cocky!

Boateng, however, didn't care about all that and just wanted to make the statement first.

Boateng's partner, Hummels, is having a real headache.

This guy really dares to say anything!
Hummels had not forgotten the fear of being dominated by Shan Yongzhuo, so when facing reporters, he spoke very tactfully, unlike Boateng who was so arrogant.

They quickly approached Shan Yongzhuo and asked him what he thought of Boateng's slogan.
Shan Yongzhuo smiled immediately.

He is wary of the German team, but he is wary of the German team as a whole; Boateng is not within his scope of concern.

He has a lot of experience dealing with Boateng.

However, he also knew that his friend was just trying to get attention.

"Jerome hasn't trained with me in a long time, and he's gotten a bit cocky."

"Alright, since Jerome thinks he can stop me, let's see how it goes in the game."

"However, Jerome, how about we make a bet?"

With a sly grin, Shan Yongzhuo looked at the camera and said, "How about we bet on crossdressing? If I don't score, I'll post a picture of myself in a maid outfit on my Twitter. If I score, I'll wear your maid outfit instead, how about it?"

Dan Yongzhuo spoke in a joking tone, which amused the reporters present.

Fans who saw the interview started making fun of it.

"Maid outfit, Boateng, dare you accept?"

"Please, Boateng, give it your all! I want to see him in a maid outfit!" "Boateng, go for it! I want to see my husband in a maid outfit!"

"My husband would look gorgeous in a maid outfit!"

"Boateng, you have to keep your promises!"

"Boateng, if my husband scores, I'll kill you!"

"..."

To the surprise of fans worldwide, Shan Yongzhuo's seemingly joking bet quickly turned almost all female fans around the world into Boateng supporters.

Even many Chinese female fans have switched sides and now support Boateng.

Official women's cheerleading organizations around the world have even displayed the eye-catching slogan "Go Boateng!" on their official websites.

Boateng quickly gained the support of female fans all over the world.

All they wanted was to see photos of Shan Yongzhuo in a maid outfit!

When this news reached the ears of the German players, Boateng immediately became the focus of attention.

"Jerome, it seems you can't escape your maid outfit fate!"

"Jerome, I didn't expect you to have so many female fans, that's amazing!"

"Come on, Jerome! For the sake of female fans all over the world, you must defend against the singles!"

"..."

Boateng felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Shan Yongzhuo's unpredictable style caught Boateng off guard, and he even received some harsh messages from female fans on Twitter, all demanding that he stop Shan Yongzhuo and prevent him from scoring.

"Damn it, did we manage to defend against the single bet?"

"I wanted to too! It was just a boast, how did it turn out like this!"

Boateng was very upset.

Hummels, however, was very happy.

Serves you right for spouting nonsense and talking big. Now you're all dumbfounded, aren't you?
Amidst all the commotion, the competition soon arrived.

Mineirão Stadium.

The place was now bustling with noise.

Chinese and German fans were clearly distinct, creating an incredibly enthusiastic atmosphere at the stadium before the match even began.

The disappointed Brazilian fans who came to watch the game were clearly divided into two camps.

The vast majority of Brazilian fans sided with the German team, hoping they could defeat the Chinese team and help Brazil avenge their previous defeat.

Of course, many of the female fans who joined in actually supported the Chinese team, but because of the bet and to see Shan Yongzhuo's photos in women's clothing, they ultimately chose to support Boateng against their will.

A significant number of Brazilian female fans sided with the Chinese team, choosing to cheer them on.

In a heated atmosphere, the two teams lined up and entered the Mineirão Stadium.

Dan Yongzhuo was already getting excited.

The competition is finally about to begin.

In this match, he didn't need to consider anything; the sacrifice was ready. He had only one goal: to lead the Chinese team to defeat Germany and advance to the World Cup final.
