Lord of Greenery

Chapter 8 World Cup

In fact, knowing the result of the game in advance, Li Ze also asked someone to make a few small bets.

Now that he knows the result, he is not betting on dogs, but trying to make a fortune.

Among them, Portugal upset England and made him the most money.

Of course, predicting the score at this time is not to pretend to be aggressive, but to establish an image of knowing the ball.

With such an image, it is easier for teammates to recognize him.

As for the specific effect, Li Ze is hard to say.

However, whether it has any effect or not will not be known until it is done.

The key is to do it, and sooner or later the problems will pile up if nothing is done.

At this moment, a dramatic scene suddenly appeared on the TV.

After a foul, Gattuso "friendly" gave Ballack a hug.

Barack was directly confused by his movements, and accepted his hug in a daze.

Maybe he still doubts life in his heart, after all, Gattuso doesn't want such a friendly person.

The next moment, Barak felt a tingle in his scalp, and his hair was grabbed hard.

Ballack subconsciously pushed Gattuso away, and immediately saw Gattuso's innocent and triumphant face.

Barak is not the master who is easy to get along with, he roared angrily on the spot and wanted to explode.

However, his anger lasted only for a moment.

Soon, he remembered his mission, remembered that he was still on the field, fighting Italy, and that he was the heart of Germany.

So, Ballack could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart, and gave Gattuso a hard look.

At this time, he also remembered that in the match between Bayern and Milan, this bastard also made a similar move.

That time, Gattuso made a move against Salihamidzic, but the public opinion after the game accused his teammates of being too bad-tempered and treating the opponent friendly and maliciously, which really pissed me off.

Seeing that Ballack didn't do anything, Gattuso was a little bit regretful.

As the only core of Germany, if Ballack loses his sense of normalcy, Italy's chances of winning will be even higher.

Li Ze, who saw this scene in front of the TV, shook his head again and again, and couldn't help but think of what was going to happen in the final.

"Is Gattuso so dirty?" Jacques was dumbfounded.

"It's not dirty, it's just cleverness." Li Ze shook his head, "In front of a calm-headed person like Barak, such tricks are useless."

Since it doesn't work on calm people, it's just cleverness.

Italians have always had this kind of cleverness, and it can even be regarded as their unique culture. They also have a special term to describe this style.

Even in their view, such cleverness is one of the important means for them to train players.

This kind of cleverness, another translation can also be called aura.

The positive typical representative of this kind of aura in Italy is Inzaghi, who is synonymous with opportunists.

In terms of defense, this kind of cleverness has become like Gattuso.

Attack depends on aura, defense depends on system, and some Italian scholars sum up Italian football style in this way.

"It can't be said that it's useless. Gattuso's actions have at least disturbed Ballack's mood." Steven said.

There was a faint light in his eyes, as if he had gained insight.

"Barack can adjust to this interference in ten seconds." Jacques said disdainfully.

"Indeed." Li Ze nodded in agreement, "So this is cleverness."

"However, being clever can be very effective sometimes." Li Ze changed the topic.

""How to say? "" Jacques and Patrice asked simultaneously.

"For example, if France and Italy meet in the final and Gattuso uses this method against Zidane..."

Under the guidance of Li Ze, the two young Frenchmen imagined the scene.

Suddenly, their faces turned green.

As players born in Cannes at the same time, their admiration for Zidane is self-evident.

It can be said that they are fans of Zidane.

However, just because they are loyal fans, they are also very clear about Zidane's weaknesses.

As a player, Zidane's biggest advantage is that he is reliable at critical moments. Among them, the most outstanding performances are the 98 World Cup final and the 02 Champions League final.

In fact, Zidane's contribution to France's entry into the finals of the World Cup that year was not the greatest. In 02, Zidane had just transferred to Real Madrid, and his performance was controversial at the time.

However, his superb performance in the two finals directly allowed him to break through all doubts and become an undoubted superstar.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Excessive pressure and excessive concentration at critical moments make it easy for Zidane to perform supernaturally, but it also makes him easy to get confused.

To put it simply, his temper is not very good. If he is provoked like this, he may take the initiative to take the card.

As early as before the 06 World Cup final, Zidane had received red cards many times, leading to direct sending off.

Not counting that final, he had 13 red cards.

The contents of these red cards include hitting Desailly in the eye, slapping Fink, slapping Mendy, punching Dino Baggio, kicking Paolo Sousa maliciously, headbutting Ginz, elbowing Alfaro, shoveling Pour Djaminha...

In other words, most of the red cards he got were not for defensive needs, but purely because of his temper, so he did it directly.

In the Internet age, Zidane may not know what he will be hacked into.

"I'm sure that Zidane will perform well in the final, and then the Italians will use small tricks to get him down." Li Ze made such a prediction.

Not only the two Cannes youth training, but also several other people listened, either thoughtful or disapproving.

The two Cannes youth training even clamored to write a letter to Zidane, telling him to be careful about Gattuso.

Their approach is doomed to be in vain——

Maybe it was because Zidane was bald and Gattuso couldn't pull his hair, so it was Materazzi who did it in the final.

This kind of thing can't be said, otherwise he really can't explain it clearly.

Four days later, when the results of the World Cup finals came out, everyone else in Cannes felt sorry, but the few people invited by Li Ze felt extremely mysterious——

What happened to Zidane was almost exactly what Li Ze predicted!
This incident quickly spread among the Cannes team, and Jovial, who experienced this incident personally, felt a little awe of the mysterious Huaguo.

In his eyes, this is simply a mysterious witchcraft from the Far East!
Involuntarily, curiosity arose in his heart.

The little turmoil passed quickly, but after that, the Cannes players also remembered Li Ze's name.

Some think he has a unique way of seeing things, others think he knows football well, and some think he knows witchcraft like Jovial, such as Jacques.

"You must be a wizard from Asia! Can you teach me, I want to learn Kung Fu too!" Jacques pestered Li Ze.

"... What does kung fu have to do with wizards?" Li Ze was puzzled.

"Isn't kung fu just witchcraft?" Jacques replied.

"No, no, it's not the same thing at all!" Li Ze shook his head repeatedly.

"Huaguo Kungfu can smash walls with one punch. Isn't this witchcraft?" Jacques asked back.

"..."

　Ps: There are really foreigners who regard martial arts as witchcraft...
