I rode a Kawasaki H2 to school, only to find out the school beauty was my ex-girlfriend.

Soon.

The draw for the World Cup group stage has begun.

There are four gear levels, and each level sends out a team to form a group.

Everyone around Brother Long was silently praying that they wouldn't be drawn into a top-ranked team in every tier.

When the group stage rosters were finally announced.

Group H.

Tier 1: Spain, ranked second in the world!

Tier 2: Ula Gui, ranked 18th in the world!

Tier 3: Buddha's Foot, ranked 67th in the world!

Tier 4: China, ranked 91st in the world!

I saw a team that was in the same group as the Dragon Kingdom.

Everyone nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood!

"What the hell?! After more than 20 years, this is our first time in the World Cup and they've given us this difficult challenge. How are we even supposed to qualify? Spain, ranked second in the world, with their most valuable player, and Uruguay, a champion and very strong team, only have one weak link in their squad. How are we, China, supposed to compete?!"

"Heavens above! Earth below! China finally made it to the World Cup, and they set up this hellish level of difficulty! It's like God doesn't want us to advance!"

"We were hoping that with Lin Shen leading the way, we might be able to make it to the top 16, but now even the top 32 are in doubt. Alas, fate is against Chinese football!!"

……

all over the country.

Countless sighs of lamentation were heard.

Nearly 90% of people believe that China will be eliminated in the group stage.

Only 10% of people firmly believe in Lin Shen, thinking that no matter how strong the opponent is, Lin Shen can lead the Dragon Kingdom into the top 16, or even the legendary top 8!

Inside the large single-level apartment.

Savannah stared at the list on the television.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Damn it, the opponents your group has faced are terrifying. Apart from that Buddha's Foot, whose strength shouldn't be that high, the other two teams are completely outclassing the Dragon Kingdom!"

She was not exaggerating at all.

Spain is a favorite to win the championship.

And then there's Ula, who even top teams have to be on their toes when facing them.

Fighting in this group, he really couldn't imagine how the Dragon Kingdom, ranked only 91st in the world, could win!

Xia Xueying chimed in dissatisfaction, "So what if he's second in the world? With the boss around, let alone second place, even if the world's number one came, he'd be utterly defeated and have to kneel down and leave the court!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes wildly in the middle.

This girl, can you please not bring him up when you're bragging?

Even the world's number one player suffered a crushing defeat and had to leave the field.

If it weren't for the fact that he could only score 1-0 against his opponent at most in a game, I almost would have believed it!

Shangguan Qian lay half-reclined in Lin Yun's arms, "Junior, let's go to the World Cup with you this time and cheer you on from the stands!"

"No need!" Lin Yun shook his head and refused. "The people who come to watch the World Cup are very diverse, and accidents can easily happen, so you should just stay home and watch the live broadcast."

He had considered taking a few people to the World Cup.

But this campaign will last for a very long time. If anything happens to anyone, he will never have peace of mind for the rest of his life!

soon.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

There are only three days left until the World Cup officially kicks off.

Countless fans spontaneously formed a farewell team, carrying flags!

"When the Dragon Kingdom goes to war, not a blade of grass will survive!"

"With a completely revamped starting lineup, I believe that this time, China will definitely reach the round of 16, a feat they've never accomplished before. Enough said, just one sentence: Go China!"

"Lin Shen, you absolutely must lead our Dragon Kingdom into the top 16!!"

……

Countless sounds filled with hope.

The sound echoed throughout the entire area surrounding the airport.

Wearing the captain's armband, Lin Yun, who was walking at the front, turned around.

Without saying much, he simply raised his fist and placed it on his chest.

He gave everyone a confident and reassuring look.

Lead the team into the airport!

They boarded the plane bound for Atlanta.

According to the draw, their first-round match is against Ulagui, who is ranked 18th in the world.

Before that, we also need to watch the match between Buddha's Foot and Spain.

After all, they returned from the first round.

Next, it's time to compete against these two teams!

If you rank first or second in the group, you can directly advance to the top 32!

After flying to Atlanta.

Fernío told everyone to get some rest.

I'm going to watch the match between Buddha's Foot and Spain first thing tomorrow morning.

Lin Yun returned to his room and first let all his friends who had messaged him know he was safe.

I soaked in the bathtub for half an hour, changed my clothes, and went straight to sleep.

the next day……

Under the leadership of Fernández.

The group, dressed casually, arrived at the stadium's spectator area.

With his arms crossed and legs crossed, Furniu pointed to a small group of fans in the distance who were watching the Buddha's feet.

"This Buddha's feet are really unlucky, getting into this group of death just like you guys. Their first match is against Spain, a team with championship potential. I estimate they'll be thrashed at least 0-7, maybe even 0-9!"

"Coach, those 0-7 and 0-9 scores are a bit exaggerated. Teams that qualify for the World Cup are all pretty strong; they shouldn't be getting thrashed like that!"

Mei Beibei couldn't help but retort.

After all, their Dragon Country only qualified for the World Cup a year later.

In his mind, any team that can qualify for the World Cup is a strong team!

Furniu shook his finger.

"No, no, no, not all teams that make it to the World Cup are strong. Otherwise, why do you think we divide them into four tiers? I can tell you very seriously that the difference in strength between each tier is like night and day. If the Buddha's Foot were to face the world's second-ranked top team, the outcome would only be quite tragic. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

"impossible!"

Mei Beibei didn't quite believe the difference was so great.

"Coach, I think the worst we can hope for is a 0-3 score. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet: if Espanyol scores less than three, I win; if they score more than three, you win!"

bet?

Furniu became interested.

"Alright, then tell me, what's the stake?"

"The bet..." Mebebe's eyes fell on Fernío's backpack. "Hehe~ Coach, the bet is a bottle of fine wine in your bag, how about it?"

We've spent so much time together.

They already knew that it was precisely because of this fine wine that Furniture was willing to come to their Dragon Kingdom to teach.

Furniture immediately exploded, "No way, this wine can't be used as a wager!"

"Coach, you confidently predicted the score would be at least 0-7. As a world-class coach, you can't possibly lack confidence in yourself, right?" Mei Beibei, who had long wanted to try the wine, began to tempt him step by step.

Furniu remained silent.

In the end, I decided to believe in myself.

"Alright, but since I'm betting with alcohol, what are you betting with?"

"Of course, I'll take the two bottles of the Supreme Star Dew that President Lin gave me, how about that?"

"Okay... then!"

Fernío agreed.

He then smiled and looked towards the field.

"You guys have never participated in the World Cup before, so you don't know much about some basic information. It's normal that you don't believe me. But soon, you'll regret the bet you made!"
