Chapter 116 Predictions
During the training the next day, Aragones' expression did not change. He was not too cold about Reyes' prediction success.It is not difficult to guess a game correctly. Although the probability is a little bit small, there are still traces to follow after a little thought.The Italian lineup is too old, they are old-fashioned to play football, and they are slow to enter the state. It is not so difficult to guess that they will be tied by the US team.

The media may think that it is unpopular or something, but Aragones, who is an insider, is not surprised.

The only thing that surprised Aragones was that the three red cards guessed by Reyes actually appeared in the game, which is really a personal ability.

"Let me see if you are equally qualified for the next four games!" Aragones said to Reyes after the training.

"Don't cry when you lose!" Reyes joked.

Aragones left with a snort.

Although the tactics are at odds, there really isn't much animosity between the two. Everything is about the game.

Aragones announced the starting lineup for the next game that night. Not surprisingly, Reyes was excluded from the starting lineup because of his poor performance in the first game.

In the second group match, the players were already familiar with the new 4-3-3 tactics. Facing Tunisia, which was in the iron barrel formation, they reversed and defeated the opponent with a score of 3:1.Raul scored a goal, Reyes' friend Torres scored a goal.

Reyes sat on the bench for 90 minutes, during which cameras were pointed at Reyes from time to time.But Reyes didn't have any depression, loss or other emotions on his face, on the contrary he behaved normally.He cheered for every attack of his teammates, and chatted and laughed with Xiaofa sitting next to him.

"For tactical reasons, Aragones put Reyes on the bench. This is a very controversial arrangement! You must know that Reyes played the key role in the just-concluded Champions League final! It definitely takes a lot of courage to put him on the bench." The commentator was too bored watching the game, but instead analyzed the relationship within the Spanish team with relish: "Now that Spain has two consecutive victories, that's nothing. But once Spain loses, then Waiting for Aragones, I am afraid it is an avalanche of responsibilities? Look at who is on the Spanish bench: Reyes, Raul, Fabregas..."

At the end of the game, Raul went up and showed his face for a few minutes.Putting Reyes on the bench is barely a tactical reason, but if Raul is left on the bench and left alone, it will be an enemy of the whole of Spain.Raul is the banner and spiritual leader of the whole of Spain. If he does not play, the Spanish fans will not agree.

In the end, Spain, which had two consecutive victories, advanced to the round of 6 with 16 points ahead of schedule. The last group match will be the stage for the substitute players.

Aragones, who made it out of the group, also breathed a sigh of relief. He boasted so much in front of everyone!After relaxing, his attention also shifted to the bet with Reyes.

That night, Reyes predicted for Aragones a match between Brazil and Australia.The five-star Brazil is still the most dazzling team in this World Cup. There are even three World Footballer Kaka, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo in their lineup.It can be said to be star-studded.

So although he is not a fan of the Brazilian team, Reyes pays a lot of attention to the Brazilian team.For several games of the Brazilian team, Reyes stayed up all night to watch them.

"2:0, goalscorers Adriano, Fred."

This is what Reyes predicted for Aragones that day.

On the second day, the way Aragones looked at Reyes changed obviously. He didn't expect that Reyes could successfully predict two consecutive games.It would be fine if the score was right, but Reyes predicted the scorer to be exactly the same as the actual situation!

It's so wicked!

How can this be?The score is a matter of carefully analyzing the pre-match status, news, and warm-up performance of both sides.

But what about the goal scorer?This is completely unconstrained, and there is no trace to be found!Aragones himself didn't dare to predict who would definitely score, but Reyes was able to predict the correct scorer for two consecutive games.

If this is also luck, then this luck is too bad, right?

Aragones is not a romantic, he doesn't believe in such unnatural luck!
So Aragones is sure, this is definitely not predictable through normal channels!

Since it is not a normal way, then it must be an abnormal way!
What is the abnormal way?A few words came to Aragones' mind: gambling companies, bribing players, manipulating games...

Is it?

Aragones couldn't help but wonder: This kid might have something to do with those illegal gambling companies...

Aragones knows that there are indeed some underground gambling groups that have the ability to manipulate major games and even World Cup games, but this has never happened to the Spanish team.If Reyes is really related to those underground gambling companies or even bought, it is possible to get one or two rigged results.

Also, is it possible that the gambling company has put their hands in the Spanish team?

Thinking of this, Aragones called the assistant coach to confirm that Reyes hadn't behaved abnormally recently, and then called Reyes directly.

"Is everything correct, boss?" Reyes smugly smugly on the phone, did the head coach call to admit defeat so soon?
"Totally correct! Exactly!" Aragones snorted, and said, "Antonio, tell the truth! Do you have anything to do with the underground manipulator?" Aragones' voice was extremely serious, just It's like discussing a political issue.

"No! Who did you listen to?" Reyes rolled his eyes, the old man's association ability is really good.

"Then why are the two predictions so accurate? Don't say it's all guesswork, I'm the first to not believe it!"

"I swear to the light bulb, I really predicted it myself, boss!" Reyes couldn't laugh or cry.

Aragones previously believed that Reyes knew the result through some underground gambling companies that manipulated the game, but Reyes's decisive answer made the coach hesitate.

"Is it really a coincidence? Is it blind?" Aragones also doubted his own judgment. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, so he decided to give up.Anyway, there are still three games to come, so you can tell if there is anything tricky?

The next thing is to wait anxiously.

For the next two days, Reyes did not predict the game. On the third day, Aragones received a text message from Reyes.

"In the third game, the Netherlands 0-0 Argentina; in the fourth game, Italy 2-0 the Czech Republic, with goals scored by Inzaghi and Materazzi."

This time Reyes predicted two games at once.

Aragones decided to watch the live broadcast of these two games at night. He wanted to use his own eyes to see if it was really the result that Reyes said.

Watching the game with his own eyes also brought another idea, he wanted to see if someone was manipulating the game.If there is, he believes that no one can escape his eyes. If anyone has played a match-fixing game, he will be able to spot it at a glance after half his life in the football circle.

An hour and a half later, the game ended, and Aragones, who was in front of the TV, was full of confusion.The results of the two games were exactly as predicted by Reyes, from the score to the goal scorer.

But he really couldn't see any traces of match-fixing. Although Inzaghi missed an empty goal, which seemed suspicious, he then used a goal to help the team seal the victory.In this case, he has no possibility of match-fixing.

Could it be that he was really delusional about this?
Aragones stood up and took two steps, and suddenly remembered one thing, Reyes has now predicted four games, two of which are Italian.And Italian football has shown its face a lot this summer. Of course, this "show face" is definitely not a good thing, but the "Phonegate" scandal that shocked the world in Serie A.

The Calciopoli incident was an incident in which certain Italian teams, led by Juventus, controlled referees to play match-fixing.This match-fixing incident had a great impact. In the end, the giant Juventus was relegated, and AC Milan was deducted 30 points. Inter Milan, which had not won a championship for many years, was "championed".

Associating with Reyes' prediction of the two Italian games, Aragones had another idea in his mind: Could it be that the undercurrents in the Calciopoli incident are now making trouble in the World Cup again?Or, is someone in Italy manipulating the World Cup score?

But during the "Callgate" time, I only heard that it was related to the club and the referee, and I never heard of any player involved. Moreover, according to gossip, Aragones also heard that the "Callgate" incident and the Italian mafia There are inextricably linked...

Could it be that Reyes has ties to the mafia.Or, he is the mafia?
Mafia what is that?The underworld who kills without batting an eyelid!When a child in the West is disobedient, his parents will scare him: "Be careful that the mafia will come and take you away!"

Aragones drenched his clothes in cold sweat instantly, and a scene suddenly appeared in his mind: he woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly a black figure stood in front of his bed, and then a black muzzle stuck into his mouth...

God!Oh, God!Allah!It must be so!
As if he had found a breakthrough, Aragones kept putting everything on it: "It must be that the mafia moved to the World Cup after the incident of manipulating the game in Italy, and then Reyes probably used some means I caught up with the mafia and became part of their manipulation of the game..."

Now that it's in, isn't it a breeze to get the result of a game or two and the goalscorer?
