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

Fernão was utterly despondent.

Look at the players on the field who are still celebrating.

He said helplessly, "Just look at the number of shots on goal from both sides. If it weren't for the incredible saves by the goalkeeper, the score would definitely be as I predicted, at least more than three goals!"

"Never mind all that, just tell me if I won or not!"

Mei Beibei refused, as he had been craving the fine wine that his coach treasured every day for a long time.

Lin Yun saw this.

A hint of relief flickered in his eyes.

When he first brought this guy to his team, he was completely listless.

He used to be too shy to talk to anyone, but now he's even joking around with world-class coach Vincent.

Fernão had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Alright, alright, I admit defeat this time. I'll take a bottle of fine wine as a celebration after tonight's match!"

"yeah!!"

Mei Beibei leaped high into the air.

He was finally able to taste this legendary wine.

As for the others, they were a bit confused. It's just a bottle of wine, why are they so happy?

Back in the hotel conference room for rest.

With a serious expression, Fernández began to explain the Uruguayan match video.

"Although Ula Gui has a high world ranking and is a very strong team, they also have many fatal weaknesses. For example, their main players are already over 40 years old, and their physical condition and speed have declined significantly. They often make rash attacks. What you need to do is..."

Everyone was listening attentively.

Apart from Lin Yun, who is the team leader.

He was twirling a pen between his fingers, deep in thought about whether or not to use his Invincible Precision Shot skill in the afternoon's match against Ula Gui!

If he easily takes a point, then in the match against Spain four days later, the opponent, being a top team, will definitely study all the videos of his previous matches and will take precautions. He might actually be able to block the ball!

But if we don't use it...

I glanced around at my teammates who were diligently taking notes.

Thinking about these people, they are all true elites carefully selected by Fournier.

In the end, I decided to trust them for now. If the halftime whistle is about to blow and my team still hasn't scored a goal, then I'll consider whether to use my skill!

afternoon!

17: 30!

On the football field!

Both sides are ready to go!

Inside the lounge of Ula Gui.

The head coach looked relaxed.

"I'm surprised that China made it to the World Cup; maybe they were just lucky this time!"

"But our opponent is the Dragon Kingdom, so you can play however you want. We'll win no matter how you play!"

Seeing how much their commander looked down on the Dragon Kingdom.

One player couldn't help but ask a question.

"Coach, is China really that bad?"

"No, no, no!" The coach shook his head with a laugh. "China is very strong, a top power in the world, but their football... ha, it's utterly pathetic. I visited China when I was young, and their football was so dark it was unimaginable. I even doubt you could win with your eyes closed!"

Seeing the head coach so confident.

The players who returned from Ula were completely relieved.

After all, they had always heard that China was a football wasteland.

It's 17:50 now.

Both teams took to the field amidst cheers from tens of thousands of fans.

The host first introduced the Uruguayan national football team, which had won the World Cup.

Then.

We've only just begun introducing the Chinese football team.

Remembering the instructions from his superiors, he knew he couldn't be negligent, so he began to raise his voice seriously.

"The Dragon Kingdom, after 24 years of silence, has once again stepped onto the World Cup stage!"

"Some may wonder why the football level of such a great nation is not high. Here I can tell everyone with certainty that it's not that their level is low, but that they have been sleeping. There's a saying that goes, 'But when the sleeping lion awakens, it will shock the whole world!'"

Hearing the host's introduction of the Chinese national football team.

All the Chinese people watching the live stream couldn't help but cover their faces.

As natives, they knew perfectly well that it was a complete slumber; it was simply that their country's football level was indeed low, and the entire system was extremely corrupt. The fact that they were able to enter the World Cup this year was entirely due to the miracle of Lin Shen!

Spectator area.

Many Chinese people were moved to tears.

"Waaaaah~ I can finally cheer for my country at the World Cup! For so many years, I've always worn other national team jerseys. This is the first time I'm wearing my own country's jersey!"

"God bless our country so that it can make it into the top 32, although I know it's impossible..."

……

Game start!

Besides guarding the gate, Lin Yun also...

He also serves as the team's coach.

Seeing his teammates' desperate efforts on the field, he nodded with satisfaction.

In contrast, those teammates who only thought about strolling around and having fun during the playoffs were a bunch of useless teammates.

The players that Fernández has selected now are the ones who are truly capable of stepping onto the World Cup stage and winning glory for their country!

Ten minutes into the show.

One of the defenders seemed a bit nervous.

After desperately getting the ball, he panicked and accidentally kicked it to a Ula Gui player.

He immediately shouted, "Don't panic, calm down, be careful when passing it..."

The voice was loud and clear.

This gave the defender some relief.

And half a minute later, he successfully regained possession of the ball.

The two teams went back and forth for almost 20 minutes when Mei Beibei finally got the ball and, despite being defended by three players, passed it to Luo Sha, who was running into space!

Rakshasa seized the opportunity.

He dribbled the ball and ran frantically towards the penalty area.

He then unleashed a beautiful curling shot that found the back of the net!

Seeing this scene.

The Chinese people, who were watching the live broadcast with bated breath, were somewhat dumbfounded.

This is completely different from the national football team they remember!

"Wait, is our national football team really that good? I always thought only Lin Shen was really strong, but these players on the field are in no way inferior to these world-class players?"

"I've long heard that the players currently competing in the World Cup are all handpicked by Coach Frio. It seems our country truly has talented footballers, but in the past, due to certain individuals, those truly gifted players were simply overlooked!"

……

On the field!

Lin Yun mentally gave Luo Sha and Mei Beibei a thumbs up.

The two of them just had a really good teamwork!

If it were his previous incompetent teammates...

I estimate he's made at least 20 saves by now!

It seems we don't need to use skills in this match. When we face the top team, Spain, we'll have more trump cards to play!

The first half ended quickly.

The score is now 1-0!

The commentator exclaimed dramatically, "Oh my god, what did I say before? When the sleeping lion awakens, it will shock the whole world!"

He was simply responding to his superior's instructions.

In the World Cup, there's a slight bias towards these top nations.

Who would have thought that a casual compliment would actually become a reality!
