Chapter 154: The Woman from the Black Organization (16)
On January 1, the 80,000-seat Tokyo National Stadium saw the historic Emperor's Cup final in full swing.
Every year on New Year's Day, a total of 80 football clubs will finally meet here after a brutal elimination of two football teams to compete for the most influential football cup trophy in Japan.
Just five minutes into the game, Tokyo Soul's No.11 striker, Hero Akagi, opened the scoring with a beautiful header after receiving a cross from the side in front of the small penalty line.
After the goal, the fans of the Tokyo Soul team were boiling over, and their shouts and cheers seemed to overturn the entire stadium.
A few days ago, Xingchen successfully solved the disappearance case of Junya's brother, and rescued everyone in the Junior Detective Group while destroying the den of the counterfeit banknote syndicate, and he naturally re-ascended to the throne of the leader of the Junior Detective Group.
In order to consolidate the position of the head of the group, Xingchen specially bought tickets for the final of the Emperor's Cup from scalpers at a high price through the online trading platform, and invited everyone in the Young Detective Group to watch the football game.
Hearing the noisy cheers in the entire stadium, Yuan Tai said in a slightly unshaven tone: "I really don't understand why adults are so keen on football games?"
Others don't know the value of the front row seats in the stadium for the football final, but Conan knows very well, and he squints at Yuan Tai and says: "Football is the number one sport in the world, especially since this year is the World Cup year every four years. In peacetime, the World Cup is the best stage for countries to show their comprehensive strength. Even though we didn't win a single game in Japan, the World Cup was exciting. ”
"I don't see any excitement on you at all!" Motota unceremoniously debunked Conan's old bottom and said, "Last time we watched the live game of the Japanese team at Dr. Asasa's house, the person who couldn't accept the result of the game the most after losing was yourself, and you are still rolling on the table!"
Conan smiled awkwardly, "I can't help it, because seeing Japan enter the World Cup finals is a dream I've had since I was a child." ”
"You're a kid now, at what age did you start watching football?" Mitsuhiko asked Conan casually, but he immediately realized that this was just Conan's exaggeration, so he didn't go any further.
For Conan's residual thoughts, the corners of Xingchen's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.
Japan lost three games in a row after entering the World Cup for the first time, but they managed to score one goal.
Moreover, Xingchen knows that Japan will easily enter the World Cup finals every time in the next few decades, and the level of football is indeed steadily improving step by step.
Compared to a neighboring country on the side, they have made it to the World Cup finals by drawing lots, but that is only the last madness, and the country known as a football desert has been in a slump since, and there is no hope of improvement for a long time to come.
Every time it is hyped by the media as promising to qualify, the result only brings a heavier blow to the fans.
As a senior fan, Xingchen can only cheer for other countries every time he stays up late to watch the broadcast of the World Cup.
"I didn't expect the two detectives to be fans, football is just a game of 22 people grabbing 1 ball, what's the point?" Although Gray Yuan understands the rules of football, she is used to thinking rationally, and she really can't understand why so many people in the world love football.
This time, Xingchen did not echo Gray Yuan's words, but quoted a famous saying: "Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death!"
Conan elaborated: "Football is a sport that not only strengthens people's physical fitness, but also enhances people's sense of teamwork, and as an international sport, football can promote exchanges between countries. At the same time, the football game represents a spirit of not letting your guard down every minute between the start and the end of the game, just like my idol - Recadis. ”
Xingchen doesn't understand that Conan himself has excellent footwork, but his idol is a goalkeeper.
"Xingchen, who is your idol?" asked Gray Yuan curiously.
"My idol is not a player, but a coach. "Xingchen's physical fitness is weaker than his peers, which dooms him to not be a player, not even a player in school.
So Xingchen found another way and planned to develop in the direction of campus football coaching.
After reading a few books related to football formations, and holding the trump card of Conan in his hand, Xingchen believes that it should not be difficult for him to dominate Didan Primary School.
"What's your favourite coach?" Conan enumerated when it came to football: "Sir Alex Ferguson, Professor Arsene Wenger, or the madman Jose Mourinho, or Pep Guardiola?"
"Neither!" Xingchen said with a little pride, "My idol is Tony Towne!"
Conan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find any information about Tony Towne in his head.
Seeing Conan's doubts, Xingchen explained: "Tony Downe is the coach of the second division of Europe, and it's normal that you haven't heard his name!
At this moment, Gray Yuan wore a pair of giant toad glasses on her face, covering most of her face, and she sat quietly in her chair reading a fashion magazine in her hand, which was in stark contrast to the fanatical fans standing around.
"I'm just here to accompany you, the organization already knows what I looked like when I was a kid, and if the TV camera just caught my face and broadcast it, they would have found me right away, and it wouldn't have done you any good. "Gray Yuan was once a member of the Black Order, and she knows the horrors of the organization deeply.
In this regard, Xingchen had already taken out two peaked caps from his backpack, one on Gray Yuan's head, and the other on himself.
"So you won't be afraid of being caught by the camera!" Xingchen was very satisfied with the couple cap he had prepared, he took Gray Yuan's arm and led her to the armrest in the front row of the stands, "The most important thing to come to watch a football game is to feel the atmosphere of the scene. ”
On the other side, outside the stadium, on the broadcast van where the TV station sends the live picture signal, the director Kaneko is busy directing the various camera positions to capture the picture.
"Mr. Kaneko, there is a phone call from you, and the man said that you will regret not answering the call!" The new intern of the Japanese Sale TV station handed a mobile phone to the director Kaneko.
