Two days later, Cardiff City, Wales.

Wigan Athletic's players got off a tour bus one after another, and Ling Xiao was the last to get off the bus.

A large group of media reporters had gathered in front of the bus to take pictures of the players. Dave Deland and Maggedland's father and daughter are also the objects of contention among eyebrow reporters, especially Maggedland. In English football, Metchedeland has a very special nickname - Queen of Wigan.

Football and women are always a favorite topic in the media.

Qiē is normal, but when Ling Xiao gets off the bus, it is not normal.

"Look, Asian faces, is it possible that Wigan Athletic Club has brought in foreign aid from Japan?" A reporter said curiously.

"Wigan Athletic is so poor that he can't even afford to pay the salaries of his core players, is there still money to bring in foreign aid?" There was a reporter who said disdainfully.

Unpaid wages are indeed one of the reasons why several big-name stars have fled, which is also a sore spot in the hearts of Dave Deland and Maggie Deland. However, Dave Delan and Maggie Delan were not enough to deal with a few young reporters at the door of the hotel, but just looked at the long-tongued reporters coldly, and then walked to the hotel where they were staying with the team.

Ling Xiao, who walked at the end, naturally became the target of all reporters.

"Excuse me, what team do you play for in Japan?" A reporter chased Ling Xiao and asked.

"Japan?" Ling Xiao said casually: "Is Japanese football very good? I am Chinese. ”

"Chinese?" The reporter who asked the question had a surprised look on his face.

A horde of journalists soon exploded.

"Oh my God, has Wigan Athletic fallen to the point of bringing in foreign aid from China?" A reporter lamented.

"Anyway, it's the last Premier League team, even if it declines, it doesn't fall too quickly, right? Is this the rhythm of relegation from the Championship to League One? A reporter made a mocking remark.

"Haha, it must be Huaguo who pays for the players to come and learn experience, Huaguo is very rich now, so he loves to do this kind of thing." One journalist's idea was wonderful.

Huaguo's football is really bad, and it hasn't even been able to get admission tickets for several consecutive World Cups. It's normal to be criticized and ridiculed.

"Ling, what are you talking to the paparazzi? Let's go. Magkidland frowned and urged Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao quickened his pace.

"May I ask what team you played in China? Team Ruda? A reporter didn't give up and chased Ling Xiao and asked.

Ling Xiao turned around and smiled, "Jasmine Elementary School team, I'm the captain." After speaking, a group of stunned reporters strode into the front door of the hotel.

"Those reporters didn't embarrass you, did they?" Magkidland said with concern.

"It's okay, it's just a few reporters, I don't bother with them, I'm just teasing them." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"You." Magkidland smiled bitterly, but didn't dare say anything more.

A player like Ling Xiao, not to mention Wigan Athletic, I'm afraid that a super giant at the level of Bayern Real Madrid will try their best to dig it up, how dare she offend? Just now, just urging Ling Xiao, she hurriedly came over to talk to Ling Xiao and show favor to Ling Xiao.

An hour after checking into the hotel, there was news about Wigan Athletic on the Internet.

Almost all of the news updates on the online media mentioned Wigan Athletic's foreign aid from China. The comments from netizens behind these news were one-sided attacks on Wigan Athletic and Ling Xiao, and even Wigan Athletic fans unceremoniously criticized the club's approach.

Wigan Athletic fans also scolded Ling Xiao a lot, and their attitude was extremely bad, and many people directly asked Ling Xiao to go back to China.

Ling Xiao only smiled faintly when he saw these news and comments, and he was not angry at all. After reading the news, he couldn't wait to open the webpage of a bookmaker and check out the timely odds of Wigan Athletic and Cardiff City.

Wigan Athletic Cardiff City are initially priced at odds of 1.40 to win, 3.80 to draw and 5.1 to lose. After receiving the bet, Cardiff City's winning odds were lowered in time, reaching 1.35 before the peak of the bets, and the draw odds also decreased, while Wigan Athletic's winning odds have risen to a high of 5.5.

The betting percentages shown in the markets were also one-sided, with 90 per cent of the money going to Cardiff City and a measly five per cent for Wigan Athletic.

If this continues, Wigan Athletic's winning odds will steadily rise to 6.0 or even higher!

Ling Xiao turned off the computer, took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Daomin's phone.

"Mr. Ling." Chen Daomin's voice came, "You're here to inquire about that, right?" ”

He speaks in a very low voice, giving it a mysterious feeling.

Ling Xiao thought he was a little funny, "Why are you so nervous?" It felt like we were thieves. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm at the door of a betting shop......," said Chen Daomin's voice.

"Well, it's better to speak quietly." Ling Xiao said hurriedly.

"I've already placed 200,000 bets." Chen Daomin whispered.

"Only 200,000?" Ling Xiao was a little surprised. He had asked him to place a bet two days ago, but after such a long time, how could he have placed a bet of 200,000?

"Mr. Ling, if you go too early, you will lose." Chen Daomin said: "Wigan Athletic's winning odds have been rising, and now the news updated by the betting shop is not good for Wigan Athletic, I conclude that the odds will rise higher, and if you bet all now, you will lose a lot." ”

Ling Xiao smiled, "Sure enough, he is an expert in capital operation, and even gambling must pursue the maximization of interests." ”

Chen Daomin also smiled, "Actually, Mr. Ling, you are sure that Wigan Athletic will win, so why not bet when the odds are the highest?" If the odds go up to 8x or 9x, have you ever wondered how much money you'll win? Tens of millions! ”

Even at the current odds, a $5 million stake would win 10 million, and if Wigan Athletic's odds rise to 8 or 9 times, it would be a profit of 35 million and 40 million!

Chen Daomin said again: "However, Mr. Ling, there is a drawback to this, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to more betting shops to bet, but I'll do my best, and I will split as many orders as I can when the time comes." ”

Ling Xiao was very happy, "It's nothing, you just let it go, and I'll buy you a Ferrari sports car when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ling, thank you, Mr. Ling." Chen Daomin's voice was excited.

"Okay, that's it, get in touch again." Ling Xiao hung up the phone.

Chen Daomin can help him earn tens of millions of dollars more by doing this, and it is not too much to reward others with a Ferrari of hundreds of thousands.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Magkidland's voice, "Ling, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Ling Xiao got up and opened the door, "What's the matter?" ”

"My dad asked me to invite you to the pre-match press conference." Maggiedland said.

Ling Xiao was surprised and said, "I'm going to participate?" Do I remember that it was usually the captain or the big stars of the team who attended? ”

"yes, that's the convention, but we're going to come this time out of the way and just let you have a fresh face in the pre-match press conference. Let's go, head coach Mullen is already waiting for you at the venue. ”

"Why break the mold?" Ling Xiao couldn't figure this out.

Magkidland smiled slightly, "Wouldn't that confuse the other party even more?" The more weak our side is, the more careless the other side becomes, and the more secure we win. ”

Ling Xiao said disapprerovingly: "Okay, I'll participate." However, you don't need to be so mysterious, just play a game horizontally and vertically, and win cleanly. ”

"Okay, okay, I know you have confidence, we're just doing this to pursue more stability, let's go, I'll take you." Maggiedland leads the way.

Ling Xiao said secretly in his heart: "What are these father and daughter playing?" I don't believe that's the only reason for that. ”

"Ling, have you placed a bet?" As she walked, Magkidland suddenly asked.

Ling Xiao shook his head, "No, I've never gambled, what about you?" Have you placed a bet? ”

Magkidland also shook his head cleanly, "No, no, the club is not allowed to gamble." ”

Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but said in his heart: "The ghost believes you, the club can't bet, won't you bet from other channels?" ”

But it's okay to know such things, and it's not interesting to put it bluntly.

The pre-match press conference took place at a meeting at the hotel where Wigan Athletic was staying, and when Ling Xiao followed Magkidland to the meeting, there were already many reporters in the venue. Head coach Mullen sat on the podium and was talking to a reporter.

Ling Xiao walked over and sat down next to Mu Lun.

As soon as Ling Xiao came, the venue became lively.

Many reporters originally rushed over to interview and report when they saw the news of "Wigan Athletic's introduction of foreign aid from China" on the Internet, after all, such a thing has a very eye-catching effect.

"Mr. Mullen, how much transfer fee did Wigan Athletic spend on bringing in foreign aid from China this time?"

"Didn't spend a penny on the transfer." Mullen said: "We have some other agreements with Mr. Ling Xiao, but it is inconvenient for me to disclose the content of the agreement. ”

"It's free to learn from the experience, right?" A reporter said sarcastically: "Huaguo's football is not in the stream at all, none of these clubs have introduced foreign aid from Huaguo, it must be that Huaguo has given you some benefits to Wigan Athletic, and specially sent players to practice, right?" ”

"I can't answer that." Whatever Mullen said, it was all arranged by Magkidland in advance.

A reporter said unceremoniously: "The practice of the Chinese football world is too disgusting, right?" Now that they have money, do they think they can buy a qiē? I don't believe they can buy a ticket to the next World Cup! ”

"yes, you still have the face to come to the press conference, do you really think you're a British player?" A reporter said.

Almost all of them are aimed at Ling Xiao's rhetoric, sarcastic and sarcastic, and have a bad attitude.

The faces of these reporters made Ling Xiao very uncomfortable. However, he also understands that China has risen and become richer and richer, and many people in Europe and the United States still like to look at China and its people with discriminatory eyes in the past. This is actually a psychological imbalance. Just as if they were dogs, they didn't bother to deal with this self-righteous person.

'Let's talk about the upcoming game and we're confident we'll win it.' Mullen tried to change the subject.

At this moment, a Wigan Athletic fan outside the venue scolded: "Huaguo's garbage players get out of Wigan Athletic!" We don't want garbage! Get lost! ”

Reporters followed to capture the scene.

The troublesome fan suddenly broke through the blockade of the security guards and smashed a mineral water bottle in his hand into the sky.

Ling Xiao turned his head to dodge, and the mineral water bottle smashed against the wall behind him.

"Alright, that's it, it's over." Mullen hurriedly spoke, got up and left.

Ling Xiao also stood up and left the venue with a gloomy face. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.
