Chapter 194 Am I a "White Lotus"?
In the bushes on the edge of the city, the convoy passed by at lightning speed.

Falcons are flying in the sky.

Horses are galloping on the ground.

Chu Chao rode on this tall Arabian horse and galloped wildly, feeling a kind of pleasure.

Gee.

The prince's life is so ordinary and boring.

The eagle that flies in the sky is also his.

It seems to be called Altai Falcon or something, much more handsome than drones.

All the way to the edge of the city.

Although there is no hunting ground.

However, there is a shooting range.

It looks like a small military base, even with tanks.

Chu Chao: ...

As a novice in gun shooting, let's do Ak first.

The powerful recoil, although it is a little painful to endure, the sound is also deafening.

However, compared with the charm of guns, this is nothing.

Highlight one word, cool!

Chu Chao even thought a little ignorantly, it would be great if he could meet criminals who robbed and kidnapped him.

Just to have a good time.

However, this idea is obviously not realistic.

Somehow Ye Gong likes dragons.

No matter how strong your body is, even if you can beat a lion, you will definitely not be able to beat a hot weapon.

Da da da……

Da da da……

Chu Chao had already used up four 30-round magazines, and he didn't shoot consecutively, but single shots. Finally, he felt that his arms were starting to go numb, so he stopped and walked towards several people.

"Oh, good marksmanship..."

A 50-meter target is densely packed with bullet holes.

"Chu, your marksmanship is as good as your ball skills!"

Maktoum stretched out a hand and patted Chu Chao with a bright smile.

Chu Chao pursed his lips.

"In two days, my team will play against you, Chu, to be honest, I'm a little worried now."

"At present, we have one draw and one win, with four points accumulated. In the last game, as long as we draw, it will be a pattern for us to qualify together."

Maktoum shrugged and said in a joking tone.

Subconsciously, it is a hint of madness.

The UAE drew 1:1 with the island nation in the first game and beat Kyrgyzstan in the second game, accumulating four points.

The island nation had one tie, one win, and one loss, also accumulating four points.

However, in the game against Kyrgyzstan, the goal difference was one more.

Such a situation is still a bit embarrassing for the UAE.

If they lose to the Chinese team in the next game, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated in the group stage with a goal difference disadvantage.

It's almost an unacceptable thing to do.

and so……

Up to now, their qualifying situation is in the hands of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team has won both games so far and has secured the top spot in the group.

In the third game, even if they lose, they can advance.

Chu Chao guessed that this would be the case, and he wasn't too surprised, just shook his head and smiled.

"The game hasn't started yet, who can tell?"

"The UAE are a strong team and they might blow us away."

Chu Chao didn't answer at all.

This kind of thing, in my own principles, is simply unacceptable.

Even if it's just a tacit understanding ball.

Are you kidding me?
Whose face can't be played like this.

When Maktoum heard Chu Chao's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and just shrugged and smiled.

He has his own demeanor and coercion, since Chu Chao didn't agree, there is no need to pester him for the time being.

Chat for a while.

Chu Chao continued to shoot.

Whoring makes me happy!

And a group of them, on the other side of the field, roasted... camels.

hump.

Or rather, camel fat.

State banquet-level delicacy.

The alluring aroma has already drifted over.

After reloading a few more clips, Chu Chao shook his arms and walked over there contentedly.

Experienced the joy of a big dog.

Really.

Just so happy.

No wonder, Dubai will become one of the gathering places for the world's richest people. In this kind of place, the whole country is like a family business. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Raib's sister, Mayassa, had already taken off her veil at this time, revealing a very exotic, alluring face.

The princess's reputation on social media is not obvious, and every time she appears on the scene, she also covers it tightly.

However, this appearance is really amazing.

She brought a piece of barbecue over with a smile, and handed it to Chu Chao with very polite hands.

Chu Chao took it casually and thanked him.

But a thought popped up in my heart.

They won't set up a trap for themselves, will they?

Like some stimulants or something.

On the football field, the doping tests and various incidents are not as strict as those on the track and field field, but there are still some.

However, after thinking about it, I also feel that it is not possible.

Not really.

If you really want to do this, it may cause "diplomatic disputes".

Of course they are not fools.

"Chu, guess who I was calling just now? Your teammates..."

Maktoum said with a bright smile again.

Chu Chao's eyes were a little helpless, looking at him as if he was mentally retarded, it's still guesswork?

"Leo."

"Yes, he and I are very good friends. During the winter break this year, we were all still together and played a friendly match."

Maktoum said with some pride.

Chu Chao smiled slightly, and immediately felt emotional, the status of a football superstar at the top level is really high.

Moreover, the "occupational restrictions" abroad are not that strong.

Like Messi, it is estimated that there are more than one billion fans in the world, and his influence is extremely amazing. These princes will feel it is an honor to play football with him.

In Argentina, there are even calls for "Messi to be president".

According to the existing domestic thinking, it is simply unreasonable.

No matter how good you are at playing football, how do you understand politics and national affairs?

but……

As long as there is a mass base, it is just toss around.

Perhaps, the real president doesn't understand state affairs.

Anyway, there are think tanks.

Thinking of this, Chu Chao casually chatted with him.

"We and Huaxia are traditional old friends. This year we plan to invest another 1000 to [-] billion U.S. dollars in Huaxia. Chu, does your mall need investment?"

"Sovereign funds are always ready."

"This is a special treat for you from your fans."

Maktoum said jokingly, and made another cake for Chu Chao.

The big dog is really rich.

And money is the hard currency for exchanging all resources.

He probably felt that there is no business that cannot be negotiated in the world, only the price that cannot be negotiated.

Football, of course, is also a business.

Although it is not a pure business, it is closely related to it.

Chu Chao sighed slightly.

"Mark, thank you for your kindness, but let's talk about things on the field."

"Actually, I admire you very much. At the same time, I also hate the island team. I wish they could go home now."

"However, during the game, it is impossible for me to relax. For me, every game is a battle."

"As long as there is a fight, it must be won."

"Can you understand?"

Chu Chao's tone was tactful, explaining to him at length.

The smile on Maktoum's face was slightly stiff, and he nodded repeatedly.

It's just the eyes, but they are inexplicably dimmed.

so hard.

Can't figure it out.

Raib and Mayassa were beside them, listening to their conversation with smiles on their faces.

This matter has nothing to do with them.

Seeing Maktoum deflated, he wanted to laugh with some evil taste in his heart.

Chu, is still very principled.

Stick to the bottom line of an athlete.

……

After being rejected by Chu Chao again, Maktoum probably felt very shameless, and never talked about it again.

However, he still maintained his superficial politeness and gentlemanliness.

The face and demeanor of the royal family are extremely important.

It wasn't until the end, when Chu Chao was sent away, that he complained a little bit uncomfortable.

But there really was no better way.

Can only pray.

I hope there will be a miracle in this game.

I also hope that at the critical moment, the words I said can move Chu Chao a little bit.

……

Two days later.

The match between the Chinese team and the UAE has officially begun.

The United Arab Emirates is currently ranked eighth in Asia.

In the global ranking, it is No.70 second.

This ranking is higher than that of the Chinese team, but it is also limited.

However, perhaps because of their faith, many times, in some key games, they often exploded with strengths that were completely inconsistent with their rankings.

In short, on the football field, the status is still extremely important.

The bellies of the five major leagues are likely to comeback against the giants when they are facing relegation.

This game.

In the opening game, the UAE adopted the same tactics as the island team.

I have seen it with my own eyes. This set of tactics indeed has a certain restraint relationship with the 235 formation.

However, after experiencing the last game, Chu Chao's thinking also evolved.

Tactics are never static.

Chu Chao adjusted and optimized this 235 tactic again. Two of the five forwards were always firmly behind the opponent's last defender, close to the goalkeeper.

This is already an offside position.

However, as long as they don't catch the ball and don't pass the ball to them, there will naturally be no offside.

In the same way, it still becomes a stake that he arranged in the frontcourt.

And the ball...

You just need to be brought to the bottom line all the way by yourself and lie down on your back, and everything will be fine.

Sideways are also easier to carry.

So in this game, Chu Chao's position was quickly adjusted to the winger on the right.

A winger is better than a pure striker.

After all, the flanks are areas of weak defense.

In the 5th minute of the opening game, after Chu Chao adjusted to the right side, he quickly made a long-distance attack from the backcourt, dribbling the ball one after another, passing four defensive players one after another, almost passing all the players on the opponent's right side. Repeatedly, like a military parade.

Then he ran all the way to the bottom line and made a cross.

Because my position at this time is already closer to the opponent's goal than the players in the middle, so there is no such thing as "offside" at all when passing the ball at this time.

in the restricted area.

Chu Chao's pass was very accurate, and it was aimed at Zhang Yuning.

Facing the double-teaming of the opponent's two defensive players, he jumped high and headed towards the ball, but the ball was still high.

A little bit higher than the beam.

After losing the goal, Zhang Yuning was a little annoyed and hammered the turf hard.

After standing up, he gave Chu Chao a thumbs up.

Chu Chao curled his lips and ignored him, feeling a little helpless.

Can't you eat this kind of cake?

A little upset, but Chu Chao didn't say much, just ran back towards his own half, and continued the game as if nothing had happened.

however……

Soon, Chu Chao discovered that the atmosphere in this game seemed a little weird.

All kinds of passing and receiving are quite normal.

The status seems to be quite high.

But when it comes to critical moments, critical offenses and critical defenses, the player's state begins to stretch his hips.

fantastic.

Chu Chao is like a lion patrolling the territory, observing everyone on the field with all his attention, and gradually knows how to handle and perform every time he takes the ball.

There must be something behind this game.

As for who it is, it is still difficult to say for the time being.

But there must be.

In fact, it is obvious from the analysis of pros and cons.

This game...

Anyway, the Chinese team has secured the top spot in the group ahead of time, and even if they lose, they can still qualify.

If there is a tie, the UAE can get one more point, take advantage of the trend to eliminate the island team, and the two teams will qualify together.

And if they lost, they would be second in the group and qualify as well.

at the same time……

As the dark horse of this Asian Cup, the ranking of the Chinese team is lagging behind, and the odds are quite high.

In the first two games, the bold and confident fans have already made a lot of money.

And this time, the odds of the two games are still close to one to one.

Who will win?
No one knows.

However, the players on the field directly create the score and the result.

Chu Chao wasn't sure if anyone before them wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a good fortune.

Not without this possibility.

On the contrary, it is very likely.

Because there is no penalty for losing.

It's a certainty to qualify, why not make more money?
What's more, it can also run out the "mortal enemy" island nation team.

Thinking about this...

Chu Chao's face and eyes became gloomy.

In this case, it's a bit painful.

——If you do something wrong, not only will you not be punished, but you will also get a lot of rewards. Do you want to do it?
Someone in the team should already have made a choice.

However, my own choice is completely different from theirs.

At the end of the first half, the score was 3:3.

He scored two goals and assisted one.

The United Arab Emirates scored three goals.

Keep the tie.

When he returned to the locker room, Chu Chao endured the emotions of the entire first half, and immediately suppressed his voice and released it.

"I'm just saying one thing."

"If you win this game, it's easy to say, ah, I won't pursue it."

"However, in the second half, if you still play like this... Let me find out who of you gambles, or lets your relatives gamble, or if you benefit from this matter, I will send him to jail."

"Go to the leaders of the Football Association, face to face behind bars, and sing tears behind bars together."

"That's all for now, everyone, please do it yourself."

Hearing Chu Chao's words, a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay.

This……

This Nima is too cruel.

So, everyone shook their heads one after another, making various guarantees, swearing and swearing, saying that there was no.

Wait for the second half.

The situation is indeed different.

Chu Chao felt it himself.

After the whole second half, the game went smoothly, and the score was fixed at 9:7.

The group stage came to a perfect conclusion.

All three victories.

Nine points.

Qualified as the first in the group.

However, after this match, a thorn was planted in Chu Chao's heart.

He went back and looked up the information specifically, and also went through many researches with Li Da and Douglas.

Finally, a relatively reliable conclusion was drawn.

Gambling.

This incident, let alone in China, has been banned repeatedly in the five major leagues.

Especially in some less critical games.

Of course, you will not use your own name, but all kinds of relatives, friends, and interest spokespersons are completely acceptable.

In the Premier League, the probability of professional players indirectly participating in gambling is at least 50%.

In China, this ratio is more than [-]%.

There is no way to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, and there is no evidence.

Unless it is a real hammer.

Most of the time, what can be exposed is because the internal "benefit distribution" talks collapsed.

It is almost impossible for outsiders to find out.

It is basically impossible to judge whether there is any interest based on the performance of the players on the field.

Every player's state on the field has highs and lows.

……

When hearing this...

Chu Chao: ...

Speechless.

That being said, everyone is having a great time, so why am I the white lotus?
……
