Stylistic road

Yin Chao is from Richeng. After all, he hasn't retired, and his family hasn't followed him.

The three-bedroom units assigned by the unit often only live in the two of them, because the family area is not far from the training ground, and it is suitable to have meals at home if you are hungry at night.

The World Cup is here after only 10 days of training!

This year is 1998, this is the World Cup year.

It is still the famous 98 World Cup in France. This World Cup can also be said to be the most exciting, influential, and controversial World Cup ever.

Disputes are controversies, not nasty matters.

Speaking of nasty, it must be that the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan is even more nasty four years later, letting the world know the shamelessness of the stick country.After all the money, Italy and Spain will not allow football players from the club country to appear.

In this World Cup, many people are asking why Brazil has defeated the mighty Netherlands, but in the end it has not beaten France.

And it was still very straightforward 0:3, and I asked why, because France is home!.

Because this tournament is too classic, Chen Mingliang, as a half of the sports world, has naturally reviewed this World Cup many times and is very familiar with the results of the entire schedule.

Although not every game remembers the result, as long as it is not a tie game, as long as there are well-known strong teams participating in the game, he has carefully watched it. He hates the tie, unless the classic game, otherwise he does not want to watch it!

The other is that as long as there is a strong team participating in the game, Chen Mingliang still remembers the score.

It's not just this World Cup, but it's not a secret that Chen Mingliang will be the result of the next and next tournament.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the World Cup, Chen Mingliang hid in a mosquito net and thought about it carefully. Since 1998, there has been a major football match every two years. Whether it is the World Cup or the European Cup, he knows the result!

And I remember the scores of many games, this is also a wealth, this is wealth that can be exchanged.

The first match day of the World Cup is June 10th,

There are two games in Group A, Norway against Morocco and Brazil against Scotland.

As the opening match is the kick-off of the previous World Cup champion.Against an underdog, Scotland.

In Europe, the British team is called the European Chinese team. It is a pseudo-strong team. A large part of the reason is that the troops are too scattered. It is clearly a country and divided into four teams.

With the World Cup approaching, the athletes of the provincial sports team, including the track and field team, have long been itching.

Almost all sports players like sports games, especially the men's football World Cup, which is the most influential in the world.

The leadership of the sports team is also kind, knowing that in this respect, it is better to be sparse, they are all engaged in sports, and they want to watch the World Cup, not surprising.

Therefore, after looking at them, they deliberately gave rules: during the World Cup, on days when there is a game, you can watch the game replay in the lounge the next morning without having to arrange training.

Good wise and kind decision.

This also basically eased the enthusiasm of the masses.

Because the enthusiasm for watching live broadcasts was not fully ignited at that time, watching rebroadcasts is okay. Anyway, they are all world-class teams. As long as no one around gives you spoilers, it is live broadcast.

But there are disgusting people who like spoilers everywhere, Yin Chao is.He just wanted to watch the live broadcast, and then suddenly shouted the score when a group of people was looking forward to the replay. It made you lose your sense of expectation. It was even more uncomfortable than a fly!.

As a 30-year-old churros, Yin Chao didn't want to watch the game at his own home. He said that there is no atmosphere here. Only when the fans gather to watch the game can be lively and can bet on the score..

He really has his own way of looking at the goal.

Here not only can watch football, but also drink, which also brings Chen Mingliang the opportunity to make a fortune.

Not far from the provincial sports team training base, there is a four-star hotel.Because the training base is next to a large standard stadium, where the A League is held all year round, it is very popular.

This four-star hotel is a hospitality hotel. It was already a very luxurious hotel back then, but it was refurbished and upgraded to a five-star hotel.

The guests of this hotel are mainly prepared for the A-A visiting team who came to the provincial capital to play. At this time, the professionalization of A-A was not a few years old, and the masses had not lost confidence in football. It was the most popular era of football.

This hotel usually settles in, either players or rich fans, the football atmosphere is the most intense.

As a senior sportsman, Yin Chao is certainly familiar with these people in the football circle.

The World Cup is here.Domestic competitions are also temporarily terminated.

Some people with good hands and eyes rent a whole floor in the hotel to organize watching games.

The public place is a large meeting room, which is used for group watching.

They also prepared several large rear-projection color TVs, and the projectors were not easy to use at this time.There were barrels of draft beer around, like a hill, and then a group of people watched the game and drank casually. They were all people in the sports circle. They were like a club. Outsiders were not invited. Drinks were free and it was fun.

However, if you want to bet on the lottery, you can go to the next room to place your bets. They are all designed by the traders who came from Macau.

Drinking up and getting excited about playing, you can also go to the hotel room on the same floor if you have a female companion. You can get a room card with the betting code, and the accommodation is free.

The 1998 World Cup is also known as the first year of China's football betting, because this year, Macau's betting companies began to intervene in the football betting industry. This is a relatively fair way of playing, playing with diversity and playing with probability.

They developed a gameplay that allowed the ball to test the waters, and it also allowed more people to participate, making it harder to guess winning or losing.

Domestic official organizations have learned from this method to officially launch football lottery until 2001, but the real contact with gambling for Chinese people is also the beginning of this World Cup.

The football lottery is just a simple tie, and it is not too easy to pass the ball.

The real fire in football lottery is after the spread of the Internet era, especially the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which is the golden age for fans to buy lottery online.

June 10, 1998.Sunny, hot weather.

Chen Mingliang finished a day of normal training, had undergone physical therapy, went to bed after taking a shower in the dormitory.

I just slept for less than two hours, was called by Yin Chao, walked away, and went home to watch football with me.

Hurry up and go home with me. You can watch the live broadcast at night, and my brother will show you a different world.

It’s also good to witness history!

The two got on Yin Chao's motorcycle and set off.

They did not go back to Yin Chao's house directly, but went to the hotel near the gymnasium.

Both of them are mature, looking like they are in their thirties. Chen Mingliang is a little younger, and twenty-five and sixty.

Take the elevator to the 10th floor.The floor for watching the ball is between the 9th and 10th floors, and you can't reach it by elevator.I have already passed the 9th floor, and it doesn't stop at all. No one knows that there is another floor here, and I can only walk down through the middle staircase on the 10th floor.

Yin Chao was an acquaintance in their circle. Chen Mingliang knew that he was a member of the sports circle by looking at this posture. The goalkeeper didn't ask much, so he let the stairs open and let them in.

When I entered, there was a special person outside, and there was a special person to warm up the venue. The passionate DJ was a rough guy with a beard, and there were not many people at all.

The meeting room is very large, can seat two to three hundred people.

Surrounding the conference room are 8 very large rear-projection color TVs. No matter where you sit in the conference room, you can clearly see the live broadcast of the game.

At this time, Han Qiaosheng of CCTV was already explaining, and he was still a young man with eyes.

This venue is really generous.

Yin Chao and Chen Mingliang were led to sit on a table near the middle. On the table were cut fruits such as watermelon, barrels of draft beer, and some cold dishes.

"If you want to eat or drink, you don't need money."

"so good?."

Chen Mingliang has never experienced all of this.

"That is, do you see that group of people, they are fake A football team, they are always rich."

"Our track and field team is still poor and can only survive on game bonuses and wages. An ordinary player, they can easily make tens of thousands a month."

I regret not learning how to play football.

"Brother Yin, don't envy these. You are now in the sports bureau as a civil servant. Among these players, 90% of the people who play will not have hello in the future, especially those who love to play and play wildly. Yes, I might go in that day."

"Okay, you kid, you even know this."

"Their players who play football are black, and even anyone dares to sell them. Sooner or later, these people who collect black money will go to jail." Yin Chao was indignant.

"Regardless of those, let's study the situation of the game first." Said Yin Chao and took out the sports newspaper.

"Wait, my brother will show you two fun." As Yin Chao patted his pocket, there was a thick pile of money in it, a rough estimate of ten to twenty thousand.

Chen Mingliang understood that in his previous life, he also often bought football lottery, especially during the world, he often bought three to five thousand bets, each with a win or loss, too much upset, and overall a small loss.

Today's game is Norway vs. Morocco, Brazil vs. Scotland.

What the hell was this in the first game, two spicy chickens, no impression.

However, Chen Mingliang remembered the second game. The Brazil team was 2:1 in the group stage and 3:0. In the end, it seemed that the substitute came on and lost the third game 1:2.The knockout round was a 4:1 victory over Chile, a 3:2 victory over Denmark, and then a penalty kick eliminated the strongest Netherlands.In the final, they lost to France 0:3.

In this first Brazilian match, no matter what the intermediate schedule, the result will definitely be 2:1.!

Yin Chao researched for a long time, relying on the amount of news in the newspaper, he still didn't know how many pieces of news it was and what could be spent studying.

He asked Chen Mingliang, who do you think will win?

Just ask Chen Mingliang!

"In the opening game, the two teams were both spicy chickens. They were pecking each other. Who knows who can win, but in the second game I know Brazil can win."

"Haha, spicy chickens peck at each other!? Really appropriate."

"The second game is for you to say, I also know that Brazil can win, they won the championship in 1994, the strongest in the universe! Dealing with a small Scotland, it is not a matter of hand-knife."

"Go, I'll take you to meet the world."
