Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 854 The first victory, too cloudy
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Kung fu has been practiced to the point where I am, and the cold and heat are already invincible. As long as the temperature does not exceed [-] degrees, it will not have any influence on me."

Wang Mi exclaimed: "Damn it, this is too awesome!"

Bao Shuiyuan said: "Is this the effect of true energy?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "What a pity, have you read too many martial arts novels?"

Bao Shuiyuan touched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although Carle is an African country, it is relatively rich. It is rich in oil, iron ore and gold. These three things support Carlton's economy.

Calculated on a per capita basis, the wealth of the Karl people is three or four times higher than that of the Chinese people.

The cities where several games are held are also very prosperous, which is why FIFA wants to host the World Cup here.

Karl attaches great importance to the World Cup. The five-star hotel alone has contracted more than 20 athletes from various countries.

The hotel where the Huaguo Football Team stayed was called the Royce Hotel, which was well-known all over the world.

When the team entered Datang, the person in charge of the hotel and the staff lined up in one or two rows, all bowed and shouted: "Welcome the boss to stay in this hotel."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiao in unison.

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 58 hotels around the world, which were acquired by you a month ago."

Zhang Xiao snorted, and said: "It turned out that Clark did it. There seemed to be several hotels on the investment bodyguard before, but I didn't notice the specific names."

Everyone was speechless when they heard his words.

Wang Mi said softly: "See, this is the world's top rich man, who has his own property everywhere."

Bao Shuiyuan said: "How much money does Brother Xiao have to forget that he owns such a world-class hotel chain."

Luo Feng shrugged and said, "We don't understand the world of the rich."

As the owner of the hotel, Zhang Xiao was directly arranged by the person in charge in the No. [-] Emperor Box. The area of ​​the entire room is about [-] square meters. Except for the kitchen, all the facilities are complete, even a singing hall.

When the players came to Zhang Xiao's room, they couldn't help but let out exclamations.

"I'll go, this is too extravagant!"

"It's simply the best hotel room I've ever seen, bar none."

"I really want to stay here for one night!"

"Don't dream, can you afford to live with your salary?"

"···"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Coach Luo, there are several rooms here, why don't you live in too?"

Robin said: "This is not good!"

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Zhang Xiao said, "This room is big enough, you need to arrange any tactics, and it won't be too crowded if everyone comes in."

Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, Robin nodded and said, "Okay!"

Wang Mi smiled 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 for the competition, not for the karaoke!"

Wang Mi was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately speechless.

Zhang Xiao shook his head, and said: "Wang Mi, you kid is too bad at talking, there are so many nonsense reasons, you actually found the worst one."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The next day, Robin went to draw lots on behalf of the Huaguo football team. I have to say that Robin's luck is still very good.

The Hua Guo team was drawn into Group H, and their opponents were Senegal, Colombia and Poland. The overall rankings of these three teams are all above Hua Guo, but their strength is still far behind compared to other groups.
Wang Mi said happily: "Coach, you are simply amazing."

Zhang Xiao also said with a smile: "Coach Luo, there seems to be a lottery station 500 meters to the left of our hotel. Go and grab one quickly, and maybe you can get the first prize back."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

Robin waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. Although the lottery we drew was not bad, the opponents outbid us, so we must not take it lightly."

Bao Shuiyuan said: "Coach, you can arrange tactics!"

Robin said: "Our first opponent is Colombia. Their defense is strong and their attack power is weak. I want to fight against them, so the rear defense is the key. Mr. Zhang, it depends on you."

Zhang Xiao said confidently: "I still say the same thing, as long as the opponent's shooting distance is five meters away, my place is solid."

Robin asked: "I never asked you, what would happen if it was within five meters?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "That's 50.00%."

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 a blink of an eye.

The Huaguo National Football Team ushered in its first group opponent, Colombia, and countless fans watched the game through TV and the Internet.

"It's finally going to start."

"Damn, so excited!"

"Hopefully we can hit the ground running!"

"Come on Xiaoshen, don't lose a single ball!"

"The Huaguo National Football Team will win!"

"···"

One after another, bullet screens have sprung up on the Internet like mushrooms after rain.

In the arena, there were huge crowds of people, and countless Hua Guo fans discounted various number [-]s and marked them to cheer for the Hua Guo team.

Many celebrities and entertainers were also present, including Li Liangjie, Wu Jin, Zhang Jie, Wang Feng, Zhang Lin and other fans.

Zhang Xiao helped buy tickets for these people.

"beep~'

As the whistle of the game sounded, Luo Feng dribbled the ball like a tiger descending the hill, directly rushing towards the opponent's half.

The Colombian football team focused on Luo Feng, but they didn't realize that Wang Mi rushed into the backcourt like a gust of wind.

This is what they had discussed in the locker room, and the opponent was caught off guard with the first ball.

It's best to score goals, it doesn't matter if you can't score, at least kick out your own momentum.

Luo Feng's dribbling skills are still very good. After Huang Guolin's opponent's player passed by, he swung his thigh without hesitation and kicked the football hard.

The football crossed a beautiful Hu County and flew forward.

"Number six, the opponent's number six!" Colombia's goalkeeper yelled.

The guards also noticed Wang Mi's existence and ran towards him one after another.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Wang Mi ran forward for a distance of five meters, stopped the ball with his chest, did not delay for a second, kicked the football directly, and went straight to the goal more than 40 meters away.

The goalkeeper exhausted all his strength and jumped up high, trying to stop the ball, but his height was obviously not enough, the football flew over his head and hit the net.

"The ball went in."

Less than half a minute after the start of the game, the Huaguo national football team caught Colombia by surprise, and scored a goal just through the cooperation of Luo Feng and Wang Mi.

The Huaguo fans at the scene were completely excited.

Everyone has been predicting when the Huaguo football team will be able to score the first goal of this World Cup. They did not expect happiness to come so fast and so suddenly.

"Oh yeah!"

"pretty."

"This world wave, I give full marks."

"Colombia players are confused now!"

"Hahaha, I don't know what happened, the score has already become 1:0, anyone will be caught!"

"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 now."

After the celebration is over, the game continues.

The Colombian team seemed to be irritated. They fought fiercely. The Huaguo football team was not afraid at all.

In the entire first half, Zhang Xiao only sold three times, each of which was easily resolved.

1: 0.
The Huaguo football team maintained their lead until the second half.

In the dressing room, Robin held a drawing board and said to everyone: "There are two options, one is to defend and counterattack, and the other is to continue to attack and attack. You can choose by yourself."

Wang Mi said without hesitation: "Of course it's an attack against an attack."

"Yes!" Luo Feng also said: "We have already fought to this extent, we have to fight them to the end."

The other team members also joined in.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao nodded secretly. A man should have such a blood and pride that he can't give up.

Seeing that the morale is good, Robin said: "Okay, let's rearrange our tactics. Since we want to fight, let's have a good fight. Let's change the formation and continue to strengthen the attack."

"Bao Shuiyuan, you and the three defenders have a very heavy task. We must not let them kick within five meters of Mr. Zhang. Do you understand?"

Bao Shuiyuan nodded and said, "Understood."

Robin clapped his hands and said, "Victory is just around the corner, everyone, come on."

"Come on! Victory!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Soon, the second half of the match between Hua Guo football team and Colombia football team began.

The Colombian football team in the second half was even more crazy. In order to score goals, they used the 334 formation with the strongest attack power, almost pressing up the entire line.

In this truth, at least seven people can participate in the offense, but the disadvantages are also very specific. Once the opponent plays a defensive counterattack, it is easy to break through the defense.

But they have already played this part, and they don't care about defense.

The Huaguo football team played in a 433 formation. Seeing the opponent's fierce offensive, everyone went straight to the man-to-man strategy.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Zhang Xiao, who doesn't know much about football, could see the flaws in the opponent's defense, so he shouted: "Wang Mi, Luo Feng, Li Yuze, you don't want to come back and participate in the defense. The ball is passed to you."

Anyway, no one on the other side could understand the Chinese language, so Zhang Xiao didn't even think about shouting.

The three of Wang Mi still had great trust in Zhang Xiao's goalkeeping ability and did not continue to defend.

"bump!"

Ten meters away, Colombian striker Ruth took aim at a gap and kicked the ball hard toward the goal.

The ball was very sudden, and the angle chosen was very tricky. It can almost be said that a goal must be scored.

The entire stadium was quiet and there was no sound at all, and everyone looked at the extremely fast flying football in the air.

Five meters!

Three meters!

one meter!
Just when the Colombian fans were about to celebrate the goal, a hand suddenly appeared, and then easily grabbed the flying football in his hand.

Needless to say, this hand came from Zhang Xiao.

"Oh yeah!"

"God Xiao is awesome!"

"Damn it, God Xiao just arrived so fast."

"Could this be the legendary Babu Chachan?"

"Fart, it's obviously Duan Yu's Lingbo Weibu!"

"···"

Huaguo fans cheered loudly.

After getting the football, Zhang Xiao didn't waste any time. Instead, he spun on the ground and threw the football out.

The football passed over the heads of the players on both sides and rushed directly to the opponent's half.

"Not good, hurry back to defense!"

It was only then that the Colombian players realized that Wang Mi and the three had been waiting for the arrival of football.

Wang Mi ran two steps quickly, stopped the ball, and then formed three arrows with Luo Feng and Li Yuze, heading straight for the opponent's goal.

Colombia's defense has only two defenders, and it is simply impossible to defend the offense of three people.

In desperation, they only need to choose whose feet the football is at, and they will defend whom.

As a result, Luo Feng was unguarded, and rushed in directly, forming a one-to-one fight with the opponent's goalkeeper.

"The ball went in."

When Luo Feng easily picked the football into the opponent's goal, the Huaguo fans on the scene once again burst into deafening cheers.

"Damn, this is great, isn't this our Huaguo football team?"

"It was such a fun game."

"Xiao Shen should take the lead. He can defend against such a sudden attack by himself."

"2:0 we will win the match!"

"···"

Seeing that his side had the chance to win, Robin couldn't be more excited, and shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Defensive counterattack, play defensive counterattack."

Huaguo team members met and immediately changed their formation.

Except for Wang Mi who stayed in the frontcourt, most of the other players stayed in the midfield, preparing for close-fitting defensive tactics.

The Colombian team had two goals, and there was almost no hope of winning, so they played more fiercely, while the Huaguo football team played steadily and entangled the opponent's players.

It continued until the stoppage time period, and the opponent finally seized an opportunity, rushed within five meters and scored a goal.

The score came to 2:1.
It's a pity that this ball, or this opportunity, came too late.

In the end, the Huaguo team won 2:1.

Back in the locker room, everyone celebrated, and then all focused on Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wang Mi said: "Brother Xiao, what happened to the last goal? With your level, it is impossible for them to score!"

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "Anyway, we've already won, so I let them score a goal on purpose."

Luo Feng asked: "Why?"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "Of course it's to hide my strength. I don't want to be the research object of other teams."

"Hehe, the later my ability is exposed, the closer we will be to the Hercules Cup."

"If there is a penalty shootout, I will also deliberately concede a few goals when we have the chance to win, understand?"

After listening to Zhang Xiao's explanation, Wang Mi stretched out his thumb and said, "Brother Xiao, you are too dark."

"Fart!" Zhang Xiao scolded, "I'm playing strategy, wisdom, and strategizing!"

"Woo~~~" Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, everyone was full of disdain.
