Jagged Wings

Chapter 117

"Damn it, the mafia is going to manipulate the World Cup..." Aragones quickly covered his mouth, looked around in fear, and let out a long sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one in the room.

At this time, Aragones was already retreating. Although the tactics must be arranged by the head coach in theory, those rules are nothing compared to life!Now that he knew the news that "Reyes is a mafia", he would not dare to fight Reyes even if he was killed.

If you offend him, you won't even know how you died!
On the second day, Aragones found Reyes, with an enthusiastic look: "Antonio, you have predicted all four games correctly. I think there is no need to compare the fifth game. I admit defeat. The team's tactics I leave it to you!"

Reyes was taken aback: "Boss, are you okay?"

Aragones is known for his fiery personality and outspokenness. When did he become so on the road?
"Of course it's okay! I think it's meaningless to continue the competition. It's better to just admit defeat." Aragones sighed: "You can decide how the team plays in the future!"

"What stimulated you? Burned?" Reyes put his hand on Aragones' forehead: "It's not very hot!"

"Why are you still unwilling after I admit defeat?" Aragones stared.

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Although Reyes couldn't understand that Aragones suddenly softened, he was very happy to get the result he wanted in the end.

Aragones' attitude made Reyes a little confused. The old man is actually not a rigid person.This so-called "gamble" is actually mostly a joke. After all, the World Cup is not a child's play.Even if Aragones completely ignored Reyes' words, Reyes had nothing to say.

But the blame is that Aragones' attitude is extremely submissive, and he agrees to everything Reyes says.This made Reyes have the strange idea that "even if I ask for his bank card PIN, he will tell me".

Is this still Aragones, famous for his fiery temper?

Looking at this submissive old man, Reyes had more and more question marks in his head.

Of course, it is indispensable to sell well when you get cheap.

Of course, it is impossible for Reyes to abandon his player status to replace the head coach, and it is impossible to really formulate tactics for the team.After all, football is not a child's play, and reality is not a game.How can a bet like a joke determine a team's tactics?
But judging by Aragones' attitude, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he really wants to listen to Reyes in everything...

This is intriguing.

And one thing is also very strange to him, that is, Aragones didn't ask why he predicted so accurately.

Regarding this point, Reyes had prepared a lot with great pains.

The Spanish players lived in two rooms, and Reyes and Xiaofa lived in one room, and he also told Xiaofa about the bet between Reyes and Aragones.

This is what Reyes leaked on purpose because he was going to put on a show!

There must be a reason for how to "predict" the scores of these games, and it cannot be changed for no reason. Aragones does not believe this, and Reyes does not believe it.

So he put on a show!

He not only buys various newspapers reporting on each team to read every day, but also pretends to collect some news about other teams online.And as a player, he also has an advantage, he can know some players from other teams.

Through the phone call, he can learn some "inside information!" of those teams!

Why are the two games in Italy?That's just because Italy and Spain are not in the same half area. If it is a team in the same half area as Spain, such as France, Tunisia, etc., it is strange that the players can tell you the inside story of their team.

Every night, under Xiaofa's nose, Reyes reads the newspaper, checks information, makes phone calls, and goes through all the news about the team to be predicted.

Of course, in order to avoid showing the situation of "[-] guesses, [-] hits", Reyes also privately predicted a few games for Xiaofa to see, some of which were correct and some were wrong, but the correct guesses still accounted for the majority.

Xiaofa, who has witnessed everything with his own eyes, called Reyes a "monster". You must know that football games change rapidly. Sometimes even football experts may not be able to predict a game very accurately, but Reyes can more than half of it. The forecast is clear.

With these foreshadowings in place, Reyes picked a few games under Xiaofa's nose and sent them to Aragones with "more confidence in predicting the results".

Of course, these are some of the key games that Reyes has in mind.

The final results are those that Aragones saw.

Reyes saw Aragones' ambiguous attitude, and thought of the words "underground gambling" and "game manipulation" mentioned in Aragones' phone call before. He was not a fool, and immediately realized that Aragones must It was wrong.

Reyes thought to himself, if he clarifies this matter by himself, it will become darker and darker, and finally yellow mud will fall on his crotch—it's either shit or shit.At this time, the best way is to speak out through other people's mouths.

At the moment, Reyes remained calm, laughing and joking with Aragones, neither admitting nor denying it.

***************
Back at the hotel at night, Reyes lay on the bed watching TV uncharacteristically, instead of studying opponents and news as usual.

Little Faqi said: "Didn't you bet with the head coach for another round? Why is it not as active today as it was a few days ago?"

"Today the head coach came to admit defeat to me." Reyes was a little disappointed.

"Admitted defeat? Then you should be happy! Why are you listless?" Xiaofa said.

"Of course I'm happy," Reyes spread his hands, "but the head coach's performance is abnormal! His attitude is submissive, so it's no fun to win like this!"

"Submit it? Have you read the wrong person?" Little Fa said, with Aragones' fiery temper, even if he lost, he would bite you back. How could there be "submit"?
But looking at Reyes' expression, it's obvious that he doesn't seem to be lying.

"I'll go and see what's going on!" Xiaofa thought for a while, and decided to go and see what's going on in Aragones himself.

In the Spanish team, Aragones is good for Xiaofa.Under the pressure, he excluded the veteran Baraja from the list, and brought Xiaofa, who was under 19 years old, and even had the opportunity to play in the warm-up match and the first two group matches.

So Xiaofa is still very grateful to the old man.

**********
"What, he didn't communicate with the outside world?" In Aragones' room, the old handsome looked at Xiaofa with a strange expression.

"That's right," Xiaofa said, "Since we checked into the hotel, the two of us have been together, including eating, training, and sleeping. I must know that he has contact with other people. But I really haven't seen any relationship between him and the outside world." contact."

"Then why is his prediction so accurate? Four out of four games are correct! Damn it!" Aragones rolled his eyes.

"No, in fact, he predicted a lot!" Xiaofa took out a piece of paper, all of which were densely predicted scores: "There are a total of more than a dozen games, some are correct, some are wrong, but most of the predictions are correct. There are a lot of them. And the few games he gave you are the ones he predicted with a relatively high degree of confidence.”

Aragones took the piece of paper, and sure enough, there were mistakes and right. It seems that Reyes didn't predict every game correctly.It's just that he analyzed more before the game, so the probability of correct prediction is much higher.

"So it's like this..." After listening to Xiaofa's words and looking at the piece of paper again, Aragones slapped his head: "Damn, I dug myself into a ditch!"
