Manchester United legend

Chapter 61 Banquet conflict
Jost and Theron were going surfing on Manhattan Beach today, and Theron received a call from his manager, Emmanuel.

Jost sat on a chair and waited for Theron to finish his call and set off. After a while, Theron finished the call and said, "Ellis got some tickets for the World Cup finals. Do you want to watch it?"

Of course Jost wished for it, it was the highest level of competition in the football world.How could Jost miss it? After Jost and Theron went to Manhattan Beach for a day, they were going to watch the World Cup finals the next day.

Emmanuel drove a Rolls-Royce to Theron's residence to pick them up.

Without talking all the way, the three arrived at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles. There were already fans preparing to enter the stadium an hour before the game, and the stadium was full of people.There are people everywhere.

After Emanuel parked the car, he directly led Jost Theron and the others to the entrance of the VIP area, and entered the stadium after completing the security check.

The three came to the VIP box.As soon as he entered the box, there was a lot of space in the box. Although Jost played football, it was his first time to watch football in the box.

There are two rows of seats in the box, with more than 20 people in one row.There are also round tables and dining tables in the box, which is convenient for people in the box to talk and eat.There is a TV on the wall, and people in the box can also watch TV and enjoy the game.

As soon as the three of them were seated, the starting lists of the two teams for today's finals were on the table.

After a while, a special person will come to ask them if they need to buy lottery tickets.If you want to buy, you just need to check the list he gave with a pencil.

The three of them were very interested. Jost spent $100 to fill in the Italian Win, and Theron watched Jost write the Italian Win, so he also filled in the Italian Win.Emmanuel spent a thousand dollars writing Brazil to win.

After a while, people entered the box one after another, all of them were people from the upper class of the United States, and Emmanuel stood up to greet them.

Jost was not used to it. They were all talking about stocks, finance, or the American entertainment industry. They didn't understand football at all. These upper-class people just watched the fun, and they didn't care who won.

The atmosphere in the box was harmonious, everyone was chatting and joking, Jost couldn't get in the way at all, Jost pissed and escaped out of the box to get some air.

Joss hangs out at the Rose Bowl as fans start to fill in and players from Brazil and Italy warm up.Jost came to the stands on the first floor and could see the players training up close.

At this time, two middle-aged men came beside Jost. One was fat and the other was thin. They chatted beside Jost. The fat man first said, "After the World Cup is over, we will send Ronnie to Europe."

Thin Man: "The Spanish team is not interested in Ronnie. It seems that they can only go to the Netherlands. Eindhoven in the Netherlands is very interested in Ronnie and is willing to pay a transfer fee of 300 million US dollars."

Fatty: "If Brazil wins the championship, we will take the opportunity to raise Ronnie's worth. After all, the players on the world championship team are not only worth 300 million US dollars."

Thin man: "How much will it cost?"

Fatty: "It must be doubled to 600 million US dollars. When you and I take a share of the money, we will get a lot of it. Hahahaha." After speaking, the fat man seemed to see a man named Ronnie, who had already transferred to Eindhoven, and the two had already received the money.

Jost couldn't help asking the two people next to him: "Which one is the Ronnie you're talking about in training?"

The two of them took a look at Jost, thinking that Jost was a fan, and because they were in a particularly good mood today, they said: "The one who wears the Brazilian jersey number 18 is Ronnie, Ronnie is a nickname, but his name is actually Ronaldo.

Jost looked into the field and saw that the man named Ronaldo was a teenager, about the same age as himself. Unexpectedly, he had already been selected for the national team and participated in the World Cup finals.

Jost asked the two people around him: "Are you his friends? Is he really that evil?"

The two laughed, and the fat man introduced himself: "My name is Martins, and this is Peeta. We are his agent. We discovered this kid's football talent as early as four years ago. We brought him out of the slums in the suburbs of Rio to play football. We just invested some money in him, and he has already started to return it to us ten times, one hundred times, or even a thousand times."

Jost saw it. These two people were speculators of players. They saw that a child was talented, and then made investments to make a profit.

Jost: "Is he really as evil as you say?"

Peeta: "This kid is a combination of speed, strength, and technique. He is a nightmare for defensive players. I believe he will win the World Footballer of the Year sooner or later."

After hearing the introduction of the two, Jost wanted to compete with Ronaldo again, but he didn't have this opportunity.

Peeta yelled to Ronaldo who was warming up in the stadium, and Ronaldo saw them and waved them down.

The two bid farewell to Jost and went down to find Ronaldo. Jost remembered Ronaldo's appearance and hoped to have a chance to compete with him.

Jost returned to the box, Theron asked him where he had been for so long, Jost lied that he met a friend, Theron did not ask.

At 7:17 noon on July 12th, the American World Cup finals began. The two teams in the finals were Brazil and Italy.

At the beginning of the game, both teams focused on defense, and the game was extremely dull. Brazil took the initiative in the game, but Italy's defense was extremely solid.

The two teams were 90:0 in 0 minutes, and then overtime, and the 30-minute overtime was also 0:0. The two teams did not score a goal in 120 minutes, which also made a bad end for the entire game.

The game had to be decided by shooting penalty kicks. This is the first time in the history of the World Cup to decide the champion by shooting penalty kicks.

Jost felt that it was turning the tables on Russia to see who was the unlucky one.

Italy's captain Baresi was the first to play, he hit the ball to the center, the Brazilian goalkeeper Taffarel had already made a wrong move, but Baresi kicked the ball into the sky.

Then Baresi knelt down and covered his face with his hands, extremely remorseful.Brazil took the lead.

Brazil's Marcio Santos, coming on second, kicked the ball to the left of the goal and was saved by Italian goalkeeper Pagliuca.The two teams returned to the same starting line.

Then Albertini, who played for Italy, scored the ball.

Brazil's Romario also scored the ball.

Italian Evani scored the ball.

Brasil kicks the ball in.

The Italian Massaro's penalty kick was saved by the Brazilian goalkeeper Taffarel, and Brazil once again took the lead.

Then Brazil captain Dunga scored the penalty.Brazil gets match point.As long as Italy's fifth player does not make a penalty, Brazil will win the World Cup.

The fifth player to play is Italian No. 10 Roberto Baggio, who single-handedly brought Italy to the final in this competition.

Baggio was the last to play. Although Brazil's Santos missed the ball, the Italian team had already kicked two shots away, so Baggio had to score this penalty, but the injured Baggio was too tired to do what he wanted.

As soon as the ball was out of his foot, he saw the blue sky, and the ball was still flying upwards, all the way over the crossbar.Baggio stood there blankly, but he couldn't hear the roar of cheers from all the Brazilians and remained motionless.

At this time, Jost saw something called "melancholy" from the back of the Italian No. 10.

The World Cup in the United States finally ended successfully, and Brazil won the World Cup for the fourth time.

After the game, Emanuel took Theron and Jost to a dinner party.

The banquet was full of celebrities from all walks of life, and Jost seemed out of place.

Theron shares skincare tips with some women.Jost picked out the food by himself with the plate.

At this moment, Emanuel came over, Jost looked at him and said hello, Emanuel said to Jost: "Theron said that you are also a football player."

Jost: "Yes."

Emmanuel: "Which team?"

Jost: "Manchester United."

Emanuel: "I haven't heard of it. How much money do you make a year?" Actually, this question was a faux pas, but Jost didn't care.

Jost: "Probably more than [-] pounds."

Emanuel curled his lips: "Not much! Do you know how much Theron costs for an advertisement?"

Jost didn't speak, and Emanuel continued: "Theron earns 50 US dollars for an advertisement, and [-] US dollars for a fashion show. Theron's annual income is more than [-] US dollars. And I will use my resources to make her more famous."

Jost looked at Emmanuel: "What do you mean?"

Emmanuel: "I actually want you to recognize yourself. There is a gap between people. Don't lose sight of your position. Theron is still very young and will be better in the future. You can't compare. I don't think you are suitable for her."

Jost: "Whether it's suitable or not is my business, you can't control it."

Emanuel: "You see you are out of place in this high-society party, and you look at Theron, she is like a big star here, she can easily get in touch with high-society people, do you think you are worthy of her?"

Jost: "I will work harder, and I will be the best player. Earn more money to support her."

Emmanuel laughed out loud, as if hearing a good joke: "Even if you become the best, you are still a simple-minded athlete with well-developed limbs. Can you help Theron in your career? Don't be naive! Stay away from Theron. She is still young and doesn't know what she needs. She thinks that she is in love with you, but in fact you are just caused by hormones..."

Jost couldn't help punching Emmanuel to the ground.Emanuel lay directly on the buffet table, and the table collapsed all of a sudden, which caused a commotion among the guests present.

Theron rushed over, helped up Emmanuel who fell on the ground, and said, "Jost, why are you beating someone?"

Jost: "Ask him what he said?"

Theron: "Hitting is wrong no matter what you say. Apologize to Ellis."

Jost: "I'm not going to apologize to this guy."

At this time, Emmanuel added fuel to the fire: "Don't quarrel because of me, it's all my fault. I'm sorry Jost is my fault."

Theron: "Apologize to Ellis!"

Jost still stood there without apologizing, and Theron said angrily, "You are truly a barbarian!"

When Jost heard Theron say that he was a barbarian, he turned and left the banquet angrily.
