Chapter 1 The European Cup opens!France vs Romania
"Dear viewers, this is Paris, France. The 2016 European Cup in France is about to kick off. The commentator Xiaoqiu will spend 31 sleepless nights with you!"

Xiaoqiu, a former football fan, has completely quit gambling addiction after experiencing a tortuous and bizarre trip to the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, and has become a successful football game commentator.Today, two years later, on June 2016, 6, he once again represented the video website he worked for, and came to another world-class competition—the venue of the European Cup—Paris, France, to explain this A competition.

He and Xiangxiang are married.Their love has gone through wind and rain, and finally saw the rainbow.Under the influence of Xiaoqiu, Xiangxiang also became a football commentator. At this moment, she is in the United States, explaining the Centennial America's Cup which is held almost at the same time as the European Cup.Her commentary on the Brazil and Uruguay teams won a lot of applause in the industry, so the new task given to her by her superiors was to explain the Argentina team.

Xiaoqiu's overseas phone call reached Xiangxiang. The long distance required more intimate greetings.Xiangxiang successfully commented on four games. However, Suarez’s Uruguay was eliminated, which made Xiangxiang a bit depressed as a fan. In addition, the absence of the Netherlands from the European Cup is even more deeply felt now that the European Cup is about to start. It hurt Xiangxiang, a Dutch fan.At this time, Xiaoqiu's timely comfort is the best gift to Xiangxiang.

Xiaoqiu's new mission has also come out - the opening game of the European Cup, the battle between France and Romania!
So, at the Stade de France in Paris, France, Xiaoqiu sat upright and began to explain——

"Everyone, this is Paris, France. The 2016 French European Cup is about to kick off. The commentator Xiaoqiu will spend 31 sleepless nights with you..."

The European Cup has finally started!

The long-awaited feast for fans, the 4-year competition, has finally arrived!

Xiao Qiu sorted out her thoughts and began to explain.

This year's European Cup, the French team has an enviable lineup.Goalkeeper Lloris, midfielder Pogba and Kanter, striker Giroud, Martial and Griezmann, these people are all world-class players, and even - the French team is so extravagant for a team The blackmail case directly expelled the team's number one star, Benzema, from the team.The huge card advantage has caused the French team to accept too many handicap in the European Cup first match.Undercurrents surged.Some WeChat public accounts, as well as some Q group WeChat groups, are starting to move around at this time, and even many people in Xiaoqiu’s circle of friends are posting their bets——As a former football fan, Xiaoqiu who almost lost his love Qiu understands the dangers of gambling, and he is determined to guide fans back to pure football and stay away from the dangers of gambling...

However, he didn't know that he himself was already in danger!
"Di!"

With a whistle, the match between France and Romania began!

Fans, embrace the European Cup!

Pogba dribbles in!Passed across to Payet-he is 29 years old, but he is only selected for the first time in the French team's big squad-he started from the low-level league, ten years ago he was still playing in the league and also a salesman Work - inspirational like him, now starting in the European Cup, such an experience, can already write a biography!

Payet dribbled the ball forward and passed forward, and in front of him was Atletico Madrid star Griezmann.Griezmann took the ball and shot too wide, sliding out of Romania's goalkeeper Tartarusanu.

The Romanian team immediately organized a counterattack!However, their midfield strength is too weak, with more than bravery and insufficient skills. Facing the midfield of the French team with stars such as Pogba and Kanter, they are completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength.They lost the ball very quickly, but immediately after losing the ball they organized a tight defense. Even the star-studded French team could not find an opportunity to attack for a while.

Soon, halftime was over.Xiaoqiu finished the half-time commentary. During the advertising time, he rarely had time to drink some water and go to the bathroom.

"Beep beep."

In the bathroom, Xiaoqiu's cell phone vibrated.Xiaoqiu took out her phone and saw a text message——

"Mr. Xiaoqiu, the famous commentator, you have been targeted by us. All your actions in France are under our control. I hope you will not openly follow us like you did during the World Cup in Brazil two years ago. You can't make it through gambling."

"What? This is... a personal threat?" Xiao Qiu couldn't help shivering.As a commentator, his personal safety was not guaranteed.This is something he did not expect at all.

"In addition, you don't need to think about calling the police. The police agencies in the European Union are basically our people. Even if you call the police, there may not be many people who dare to avenge you." The same number was sent again soon Xiaoqiu was even more frightened by another text message.

"How to do how to do?"

The second half begins.France had the ball, passed it to the right, Payet crossed it, Arsenal striker Giroud jumped high, at the same time, Romania's goalkeeper Tatarusanu also abandoned the goal and jumped high - —

Giroud gets the ball!

His header went over the fingertips of Tartarusanu!
The ball went in!The French team leads 1:0!

Does the Romanian team still have a chance to counterattack!

The Romanian team, which does not have a big-name star in the whole team, led by two players with similar names, Stanciu and Stancu, launched another attack on the goal of the French team!The opportunity came quickly, Evra tripped Stanciu in the penalty area, penalty kick!

Stancu took the penalty, can he withstand the tremendous pressure and score this penalty!

The ball is in!
1:1!Romania has the last 23 minutes left to counterattack France!

The undercurrent is surging...

Seeing that the Romanian team equalized the score, the bets gradually flowed to Romania. Many people began to buy Romania to draw or counterattack to win, while the proportion of people who bet on France to win gradually decreased.If Romania can really draw with France, or even counterattack to win, then they will get extremely high rewards...

Among them, there is a French fan named Antonioli...

The French fan with the same name as the former Italian international once bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League championship, and obtained a lot of money at a very low cost.He has tasted the sweetness of unpopular bets, and in the European Cup, he wants to make a big ticket——

First of all, it was a small test, and a small sum of Romania was flattened by France.

Next, he used a heavy bet to bet on a dark polo team in his mind——

Wales beat England!
The game continued.After the French team was equalized, they launched a surging attack!

Romania struggled to resist.Although they are no longer able to attack, they are guarding their goal tightly!They used 8 people to block the penalty area, and only two people were left swimming in front, sometimes pressing in front, and launching fast breaks when they had the opportunity, threatening the empty defense of the French team——

A draw, always a draw!

Will a miracle happen!

89 minutes, 1 minute left in regular time...

Payet, who played well throughout the game, controlled the ball at the front of the penalty area.Two defenders of the Romanian team rushed up to grab the ball. Payet flicked the ball to the left and managed to pass one person.

Who can pass it on to?

Although there are teammates in front, there are Romanian players in yellow jerseys guarding every teammate!

Cross?No one answered!

return?The loitering Romanian striker has blocked his return pass!
Front, back, left, right, there is nowhere to pass the ball!

Possession of the ball?

Two defenders had already approached his eyes!
No, that's the only way...

put all one's eggs in one basket!
Long shot!

Paye took a world wave with his bad left foot!

The football goes past the Romanian defenders!

Go straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Tartarusanu swooped to the left!

however……

The angle is too tricky!
The ball is in!
The football flew into the upper left corner of the goal, exactly the little space between the crossbar and the post!

A dead end in the absolute sense!

The entire Stade de France was shocked by this ball, and the audience was silent...

In an instant, there was a huge cheer!

The national anthem of France resounded through the Stade de France, and the players of the French team celebrated excitedly.The Romanian players, on the other hand, drooped their heads like frost-beaten eggplants.They were very puzzled, how could it be possible, how could it be possible to be defeated by a world wave at such a time?

Just like in the World Cup in Brazil, the Iranian iron cavalry who had defended hard for 90 minutes was scored by Messi's kick in the same area as the world wave!
A whole game of hard work wasted...

At the same time, those who bought Romania to win, want to cry without tears...

Xiaoqiu's commentary is obviously a lot more conservative. His previous sharpness is gone, he just talks about the game in a serious manner, and does not involve any anti-gambling remarks——

At the end of the game, France defeated Romania [-]-[-].When Xiaoqiu walked out of the studio, he was sweating profusely, and he even felt his body trembling...

"Beep beep..."

Xiaoqiu's phone vibrated again.He took out his phone tremblingly, and there was only one message on the phone:
"Xiaoqiu, why is your commentary so powerless today? Why didn't you talk about anti-gambling?"

It turned out that Xiangxiang sent it from far away in the United States, and Xiaoqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiangxiang, let's not talk about this for now, I'm so tired, I'll go back and rest first..."

……

　I was drowsy while watching the game last night, and the only goal I really saw was the last one. Hey, how should I put it, after all, neither team is my favorite.

　　Fans who like Croatia stand up!
　　Speaking of which, I think Croatia, Wales and Belgium are the most likely dark horses, what do you guys think?
