Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1836 The Eagle Will Push the Child Off the Cliff
Blackmoon City, which has never seen such a large-scale event before, is now experiencing an unprecedented surge in public enthusiasm due to this football match.

On the day of the final, the personal presence of Zhou Xu and Jarvit brought the atmosphere to its peak!

Zhou Xu and Yarvet's arrival was not only to boost the football craze, but also because one of the two teams in the final was the female warrior team led by Sigurd.

How could any parent not come and take a look when their own daughter is competing right at their doorstep?

Knowing that her parents were watching, Sigrun was especially motivated in this match. She went all out from the start, making a one-on-one attack and scoring a goal, which made the whole audience cheer.

Putting everything else aside, Sigurd's solo performance is truly adrenaline-pumping, no wonder she's so popular.

Of the 5,000 spectators present, at least 3,000 were wearing the female warrior team jerseys, and over 90% of them were wearing the number 10 jersey of Sigrun.

Those wearing other numbers may be wearing number 10 jerseys because they are sold out and haven't been restocked yet.

But the Grassland Wolves, their opponent in the final, are no pushovers either.

Not to mention that they had been studying the female warrior team long before this competition was even held.

Sigurd's skills are indeed impressive, but the other players on the team are relatively average.

Under this premise, because Sigurd is too strong individually, the whole team relies on her too much.

At that moment, their commander's words kept echoing in the minds of the Prairie Wolves team members...

Play tactics against them!
They quickly exchanged glances, and the members of the Grassland Wolves could all feel each other's determination in their eyes.

The second kickoff saw the Grassland Wolves launch a rapid offensive.

Sigurd rushed forward to press, but the Prairie Wolves immediately made a cross pass, sending the ball away so that Sigurd missed its target.

During this process, the Grassland Wolves quickly pushed into the opponent's half.

Compared to the female warriors' team, where Sigriun was making all sorts of solo dribbling and scoring plays, the Prairie Wolves team was at the complete opposite extreme.

Each player didn't hold onto the ball at all. Depending on the situation, they would dribble the ball a couple of times upon receiving it, and some wouldn't even dribble it before immediately passing it out.

The sight of the football rolling and being passed around rapidly by the players of the Grassland Wolves was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

The female warrior team was instantly thrown into disarray. Sigrun wanted to win the ball back, but she was overwhelmed and ultimately the Grassland Wolves' striker scored, leveling the score!
At that moment, the entire stadium seemed to vibrate with the cheers of the audience, as the Prairie Wolves displayed such tactical coordination for the first time in a match.

Even Zhou Xu couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

"My daughter's life is probably in danger."

Although Zhou Xu himself wasn't particularly passionate about football, he knew that football was a team sport.

Sigrun's lone wolf style of play might only be good for bullying weaker opponents at the beginning. Once other teams start using tactics and learning to cooperate, how can Sigrun, playing alone, possibly defeat eleven opponents?

And indeed, after the restart, Sigurd, who hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem, immediately wanted to score again and gain the advantage.

This time, however, the Grassland Wolves were mentally prepared, and their defensive pressing became even more intense, with various interceptions and tackles that directly led to them stealing the ball.

For a moment, Sigrun was stunned. Clearly, she hadn't expected the other party to be able to do this.

Before she could think any further, the Grassland Wolves player, having made the interception, passed the ball out, and a counter-attack immediately began! The same style of play as before seemed to present the female warriors with an unsolvable problem, and the Grassland Wolves scored a clean counter-attack.

The score instantly became 2-1, with the Grassland Wolves taking the lead!
The female warrior team had been playing too smoothly in previous matches, so when they faced adversity, they had no idea how to play.

In the second half, although Sigurd scored another goal with her outstanding skills, it was not enough to change the fact that the Prairie Wolves won the final 4-2!

This wave was, in some ways, a complete upset.

But the experience it brought to the audience was surprisingly good.

The tournament only had four matches, so none of the teams had any die-hard fans.

For the supporters of the Warriors and Sigriun, although their team lost and they were a little down, the whole match was undoubtedly exciting.

During this time, looking at Siegrun standing on the field with her head drooping, Jarvit was unexpectedly a little worried.

She wasn't like this before, but living with Zhou Xu and Zhou Ye has brought about a tremendous change in her way of interacting with her children.

Should we...?

"unnecessary."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu had already gotten up to return to the Qin Zheng Hall to go to work.

As a father, Zhou Xu is very open-minded, and deep down, he naturally loves his child very much.

At the same time, he is a very calm and rational efficiency seeker, which makes him seem somewhat 'heartless' in dealing with some things, and he is not too swayed by emotions.

After all, as the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou, being too emotional is not always a good thing.

“She’s not a child anymore. There are some things she has to learn how to handle and face on her own. This game isn’t even a big deal. If we have to comfort and console her about things like this, when will she ever truly grow up?”

Zhou Xu's words left Yarvit unable to refute.

Eagles will push their young off cliffs to teach them to fly.

Zhou Xu is the kind of person who will protect his child very thoroughly when the child needs protection, but will also let go very decisively when it's time for him to let go.

You can't lend a hand when she's already flapping her wings with all her might, trying to fly independently; that would be harming her.

Just as Zhou Xu finished speaking, Sigrun, who had been hanging her head on the field, suddenly slapped her face with both hands.

That slap was quite forceful, it could even be said that no one held back at all. Both of her cheeks were instantly slapped bright red, but when she raised her head again, her bright eyes made her expression even more determined.

Zhou Xu's lips curled up slightly, and his feet didn't even pause for half a second. With one step, his figure disappeared directly from the VIP room of the Black Moon Stadium. He returned to the Hall of Diligent Governance in the same way.

Along the way, the unexpected incident caused a little commotion, but Zhou Xu didn't take it too seriously.

The incident involving Monk Wuchen had served as a wake-up call for him. He realized he couldn't be too low-key anymore. Given his strength, he needed to occasionally show off his abilities to boost his reputation and solidify the faith of the people.
