Chapter 102: Nord's Players

The European Championship opened as scheduled, and Joseph watched the football powerhouses in full swing compete for each other on the venue, and inexplicably had some worries about his players.

Joseph was very happy to bet, but in fact he had no confidence in his players, and the first enemy of the Nord Principality football team, although not a strong team, was not weak - the fourth-rate football country Northern Ireland. Most of Joseph's bet is placed here, and there has just been a show in Northern Ireland, depending on the situation...... The probability of Joseph losing that fifteen million euros is very high.

"Your Highness......"

"It's okay, let our players relax and don't have too much pressure."

As if seeing Joseph's face a little bad, the general manager of the football club came to his side and greeted him with some concern, most of their players already knew about the fifteen million bet. Of course, it didn't put the pressure on these players as Joseph thought, the only thing was excitement and pride, and they were proud of their Grand Duke being so new.

Similarly, in such a situation, the general manager of the club naturally did not come to guarantee anything, in fact, he wanted to make Joseph more confident, because this would affect the development of the players, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Joseph's words were blocked.

Interpretation? How do you explain this? Could it be that Your Highness, we are not under pressure for the tens of millions of bets, but are worried that the expression on your face will be seen by the players and affect their strength?

No kidding, isn't that embarrassing and embarrassing Joseph? Therefore, the general manager preferred to misunderstand Joseph, and after a few words of reassurance to Joseph, he resigned and resigned to adapt the conversation to encourage the players.

"Gentlemen, although we are not a professional team, I believe in your abilities, just as His Majesty the Grand Duke believes in you, please tell me, will I disappoint His Majesty the Grand Duke?"

"Nope! We are Nord Real Club players and we will win our first title! ”

All right! The player who said this sentence is completely nonsense, because even the general manager of the club himself does not have the luxury of winning any championships or the like, and perhaps being able to enter the top 16 is already a great reward.

The Royal Club of the Principality of Nord has not yet shown its ability and is naturally classified as a fifth-tier team, along with Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino and the like.

It can be said that arranging a fourth-rate football country opponent for the team of the Principality of Nord for the first time is somewhat unexpected by most people, is this important or targeted? To be honest, there is no answer, everything can only be decided by the final result.

Touch!

A powerful volley made Joseph's heart tremble, this is! When did the fourth-rate football nation of Northern Ireland be so strong to play against the Hungarian team?

The number nine who scored on the pitch ran frantically around the pitch, and he did qualify for it, as the goal difference levelled the situation to a draw and the North Ireland side had a chance to win.

The hall was boiling, and Joseph became more and more worried about the situation of the Nord team, and glanced in the direction of the team...... All right! The group of heartless guys were clapping their hands happily and shouting, and they were really amateurs!

Joseph doesn't know much about football itself, and he can't read any fouls, yellow cards and the like, but it's always right to understand the numbers on it, whoever scores the most is the winner, and scoring goals is the key to scoring points.

After that powerful volley, the number nine seemed to be without a great performance, without scoring or grabbing the ball at his feet, and the two teams went back and forth with each other.

Just when Joseph wondered if the two sides would be tied like this and then play extras, the number nine player once again exerted his power, receiving the ball, dribbling, lunging, bypassing one blocker after another, shaking, volleying, and scoring!

There was no doubt that Northern Ireland won 15-14, and the venue was completely boiling and Joseph was starting to get disheartened. If you meet such a tough opponent at the beginning, you may have to fail in the first competition! Now Joseph only hopes that the Duchy of Nord can lose more decently, and it can be regarded as giving him a little face.

And what is Nord Real Players Club doing at this time? It was necessary to discuss the opponents, but it is estimated that Joseph could not imagine the specific content of their discussions.

"No. 9 played well, and tomorrow we will play again, so my wife can take a closer look. Manager, this should be live! ”

The general manager of the club was a little embarrassed by his group of amateur arrogant soldiers, although he knew that their level was also good, but it was really ...... to be careless

Seeing the appearance of the club manager, the players knew what he wanted to say, so they couldn't help but say with disdain and sarcasm: "His Majesty the Grand Duke is very confident in us, manager, don't you believe in Your Majesty's vision?" ”

"I ......"

If he could, the club manager really wanted to tell them the truth about Joseph, but after thinking about it, he would have to give up! After all, he is the person in charge, and the most ugly thing on his face when he loses the game is himself.

"I hope you can be as good as you are at the venue tomorrow, and don't forget that you are also betting on yourself to win, which is a lot of money."

The original intention of the club manager was to use money to make them be careful, after all, when the horse stumbled, if they were not as strong as they estimated, wouldn't they lose a lot of money?

Can......

"What a wonderful bonus, I can't wait to take them into my arms, little John, how much do you bet, I have a full 600 euros, and if I can win this time, then I will have more than 4,000 euros after deducting taxes. For more than 4,000 euros, we can go to the Moulin Rouge and have a look. ”

"yes, yes! Thousands of euros in bonuses, I can go to Germany and beer at will, or I can go to Ukraine to eat sausages, no, no, now the situation in Eastern Europe is still unclear, and I can't go for the time being. ”

Just in an instant, the players in the room were arguing, but all of them were not talking about what happened after the bonus, and the club manager was really a little powerless, shook his head and turned to leave.

When the general manager reported the situation of the team to Joseph according to common sense, and Joseph also asked the team players about the state of the team according to common sense, the general manager was a little stunned at that time, because he didn't know what to say, and finally could only smile and say that he was in good shape.

Joseph obviously misunderstood what the general manager wanted to express, and as he guessed, he thought that the morale of the players was very low, and asked if he wanted to go over to help calm the players' feelings.

Seeing this proposal, the general manager naturally decisively refused, just kidding! If His Majesty sees the state of the players and doesn't take all his anger out on him?
