I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 87: Betting on football is thrilling and exciting
"Yeah, you have a good eye."

Chen Xi nodded and smiled, saying that there was basically no suspense about Germany winning this game, but the odds were too low and he didn't even want to buy it.

However, Xiao Ming’s happiness did not last long, as it happened in the 11th minute after the game started.

Germany's attack was as surging as a tide, but the defense made fatal mistakes.

Friedrich's offside tactic failed, giving Wanchope a one-on-one opportunity. He calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot and scored successfully.

This goal allowed Costa Rica to quickly equalize the score.

Now the score suddenly became 1:1. Xiao Ming was shocked and held his head in his hands, unable to believe what he saw.

His expression became painful and disappointed, as if all hope was shattered in an instant.

In the 17th minute of the game, Schneider showed his superb skills. He turned from the right sideline to get rid of the defender, and then passed the ball back accurately near the baseline.

Schweinsteiger received the ball near the penalty area line and used his excellent dribbling skills to successfully get rid of the defender and swept across the goal.

Klose at the back post seized the opportunity and scored with a left-foot shot in front of the goal.

The German team took the lead again. Four years have greatly improved Klose's footwork skills.

This goal allowed the German team to regain the initiative on the field.

"Fuck, do you have to be so exciting? A goal is scored every few minutes. Isn't it said that football games often end in a score of 0-0 for an hour?"

Dongdong was also a little crazy. He usually liked to watch basketball and only occasionally dabbled in football. Now the game had only been 17 minutes and three goals had been scored, which obviously broke his previous understanding of football.

"I bought it!"

A foreigner was also staring at the game with wide eyes, because there was no other place broadcasting it nearby, the TV in the Tab was too small, and the atmosphere in the Internet cafe was lively, so several foreigners passing by the door also stopped and stood at the door to watch the game.

"Hey, group matches are always like this, tense and exciting, and the scores are usually big. It's just three goals."

Chen Xi stood aside with his arms folded, watching the big screen with great interest.

"What? Three goals have already been scored? Do you mean there will be more goals later?"

Xiao Ming felt a little bit unbelievable. He just hoped that his money would not be wasted.

"It's only 17 minutes, let's keep watching."

Chen Xi didn't say much. Based on his past experience in buying football matches, this kind of group stage often results in big scores. Moreover, three goals had already been scored in just 17 minutes. In addition, as the host country, Germany naturally needed to perform well.

After that, the German team began to deliberately slow down the pace of the game, but they still maintained a strong control on the field.

In the 30th minute, Fonseca fouled Mertesacker in the midfield, which became the first yellow card of this World Cup.

Although the Germans continued to launch fierce attacks in the rest of the first half, unfortunately their shooting accuracy did not meet expectations.

However, the score of 2:1 still allowed them to enter the halftime break with peace of mind.

"Fortunately, there were no more goals." Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief during halftime.

Germany is now leading, and as long as this score can be maintained, he can win money.

"Are you so excited just because you bought something for a hundred dollars?" Dong Dong said with a pout.

"You are the same. You just shouted as loud as I did. You only bought a hundred dollars."

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes and looked at everyone in the Internet cafe. They were all concentrating on playing games. Luckily, no one was looking at them, otherwise it would be so embarrassing. For a hundred dollars, the two of them just screamed like pigs being slaughtered.

During the intermission, Chen Xi walked to the entrance of the Internet cafe to smoke.

He specially installed a metal box for cigarette butts at the door. You know, people who surf the Internet are addicted to smoking, but smoking is not allowed indoors in Australia.

"Haha, the boss lady is here to watch the game? I didn't expect you're a fan!"

Just as he lit a cigarette, he saw Geto's proprietress looking around the Internet cafe with an angry look. Seeing that their business was so good, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

Naturally, Chen Xi would not miss the opportunity to tease her. He appeared behind her like a ghost, and greeted her in a very loud voice, almost scaring her half to death.

"It's just a little cleverness. I can make a projector. I can do that too. Just wait for me."

The proprietress thought she had discovered the reason why Chen Xi's Internet cafe was so popular, and she looked up at him triumphantly.

"Haha, boss lady, I don't think you are cut out for business. You should close the shop as soon as possible. I think it would be better if you sell stinky tofu instead. Your mouth stinks just like the tofu."

Chen Xi greeted her without any hesitation.

The proprietress was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, and the fat on her body kept shaking, which made people feel sick.

However, she had no chance of winning the argument with Chen Xi, so she could only turn around and return to the Internet cafe angrily.

There is no one in the Geto Internet Cafe now. She knows nothing about games and she won’t be able to install any new game that comes out on the market.

Because she is a rather mean person, no one has applied for the position of network administrator, so she has to do it herself.

Soon the game entered the second half and neither team made any adjustments.

Podolski's long shot from outside the penalty area opened the second half of the game between the two sides.

In the 51st minute, Schweinsteiger took a tactical corner kick from the left. After Frings got the ball at the front point, he flexibly dribbled past the defender and then made a cross. Podolski rushed to shoot in front of the goal, but unfortunately, the ball went wide of the far post.

The Germans' attack became more and more fierce, and they scored again in the 61st minute of the game.

Lahm passed the ball into the penalty area from the left, and the ball was touched by Fonseca, but he failed to clear it and let the ball go to the back point.

When Klose saw the ball coming in front of him, he made a quick decision and headed the ball directly into the goal.

Although Bolas struggled to save the ball, Klose's second wave of attack had already arrived. He shot the ball into the far corner with his right foot, and the German team led 3:1. "It's stable, it's stable."

Xiao Ming, the fake fan, actually started cheering.

This is the magic of football betting, which can make someone who has never been exposed to football so excited that people would think he is a veteran football fan.

"Fuck, I only won 27 bucks, that's too little."

Dongdong looked at the lottery ticket in his hand and couldn't help complaining.

Twenty-seven dollars made him nervous for a long time, but when he thought about it, he felt it was not worth it.

"A little gambling is good for fun, but you two better not play too big, or you'll end up losing everything."

Chen Xi kindly reminded the two of them.

In the 66th minute of the game, Costa Rica made its first substitution, with Guimarães replacing Martinez with Drummond.

Six minutes later, the German team made its first adjustment, with Kyle replacing Borowski to strengthen the defense.

However, an accident happened and Germany lost the ball again just one minute later.

Costa Rica played a small combination in the midfield, and Centeno made a fatal through pass.

Wanchope took advantage of this opportunity to break into the penalty area, got a one-on-one chance, and sent the ball into the net before Friedrich could make a tackle.

Wanchope scored twice, and was just one goal away from making the game more suspenseful.

Now, the situation on the field suddenly became tense and the German team was in danger of losing points again.

"3:2, what kind of magical operation is this? It's too fake."

Dongdong, who originally didn't believe there was any inside information, began to waver. The score gap made him feel a little unreal.

"Holly shit..." The foreigners at the door also started swearing because they also bought Deutsche Tomas.

Several white people holding lottery tickets had expressions of self-doubt on their faces, as if in a few minutes they might lose all their money.

"calm down!"

Chen Xi shouted towards the door, fearing that those guys might get so excited that they might break the glass door of the Internet cafe.

The game isn't over yet, why are these guys so excited? This is still the group stage. If it were the finals, wouldn't these people be so excited that they would have a heart attack?
Chen Xi did not buy the tickets for this match. As a spectator, he did not care about the outcome of the match at all.

In the 87th minute of the game, the German team got a free kick opportunity on the left side of the frontcourt.

Schweinsteiger cleverly moved the ball sideways, and then Frings shot hard with his right foot from 30 meters away from the goal, creating a wonderful "World Cup".

The ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal and successfully entered the net.

The German team once again extended their lead and led 4:2.

In the end, this score remained until the end of the game.

"Win, win!"

"Oh yeah!"

When the whistle sounded, Dongdong and Xiaoming jumped on the spot excitedly. People who didn’t know would think they had won 27.

The players who were playing games nearby took off their headphones and looked at the two in confusion.

The foreigners at the door were also cheering. It seemed that they had won a lot of money. A few black people even performed a street dance in public on the street to celebrate.

"Go home and sleep. I'm dying of sleep."

It's already early morning, Chen Xi said, rubbing his eyes.

The group of players in the Internet cafe seemed to be planning to stay up all night, and there were only a few empty seats left. The business was amazingly good.

"Well, let's go back." Dongdong and Xiaoming were also a little tired.

"We are leaving, you guys have to work hard for a while."

Chen Xi greeted Abao at the front desk. Monkey and Wang Li had already gone to the spring beds in the warehouse to take a nap. The three of them took turns on duty, so they were not too tired.

The next match between Boland and Ecuador was too late, so Chen Xi didn't plan to watch it. He would just go and exchange money tomorrow morning.

He is now very confident that he will win. This cannot be a parallel world. The results of the two games have been the same as in the previous life.

"Hey, that's what I told you. I've been betting on football for decades, and I guessed the results of both games correctly. But that guy just didn't believe me."

At the door of Tab, the old man who had persuaded Chen Xi before slowly walked out of the store.

It was already very late and the shops were starting to close. Because today was the World Cup match day, they had extended their business hours and usually would have closed long ago.

"There is still one game left. Come back tomorrow to exchange money."

The old man counted the yellow and green banknotes in his hand, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Now he has money to enjoy the club again.

At his age, he has no interest in anything other than women and gambling. He just wants to enjoy life before entering the coffin.

Just as the old man walked into an underpass with a smile on his face, a few black men behind him stared at him with murderous eyes. They had been eyeing this old man for a long time.

He won a lot of money in Tab today, and he couldn't let it go. At this time, the old man had become a walking ATM in their eyes.
