Chapter 529: Hitting the "New Record"

Although Atletico Madrid's strong performance this season is fearful even for the top European clubs, before the start of the Champions League quarterfinals, the odds offered by major European bookmakers to win the championship at 9.5 to 1 are ranked behind the "top two in the Western Super League" and the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich, as well as the Premier League giants Manchester United.

The major European bookmakers are offering such odds, not because they underestimate Atletico Madrid, after all, they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League again after 17 years, and they have never touched the Champions League trophy, and they do have a clear lack of European experience.

However, these European bookmakers have overlooked an important point, which is that Atletico Madrid's absolute strength is no longer inferior to any of Europe's top giants. Moreover, the terrifying front line, composed of Feng Quan and Diego Costa, has absolutely the ability to destroy any team in the world.

At the same time, the steel defense of Atletico Madrid can also allow Feng Quan to maximize his speed advantage.

After the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, several major European bookmakers first "cut off" the odds of Atletico Madrid to 4 to 1. But even so, there are still a large number of bettors who bet heavily on Atletico Madrid.

With Atletico Madrid's stunning four-goal win over Barcelona alone, they have become the Champions League hegemon in the hearts of bettors.

Less than 8 hours later, when the major bookmakers found through the data compiled by the system that more than two-thirds of the new bets were bought by Atletico Madrid, they immediately decisively "halved" their odds to win the championship to 1 to 2.

Some bettors who failed to bet on Atletico Madrid before the bookmaker changed the odds were frustrated that while the 2-for-1 odds were a bit surplus, there would be very little left after the taxes and fees that had to be paid.

As the saying goes, "some people are happy and some people are worried", those who bet heavily on Atletico Madrid early on are extremely excited at this time. With the authoritative professionalism of European bookmakers in game data analysis and years of experience in operating football betting, being able to reduce Atletico Madrid's odds to 2 to 1 before the quarter-finals of the Champions League are over, which means that they have regarded this team as the number one favorite to win the championship.

Combined with the final results of the World Series in the past ten years, as well as the odds offered by the major bookmakers at the time, it will be found that the vast majority of the teams that can be offered ultra-low odds by the bookmakers have already won the final crown.

Of course, if Atletico Madrid can finally win the Champions League trophy this season, there is no doubt that it will be Fengquan.

As early as last year's World Championships in Athletics, he made a lot of money because of betting, and as early as before the Champions League group stage began, he took out a huge sum of 10 million euros and instructed his team to bet on Atletico Madrid on an average of the world's major bookmakers.

You know, the average odds of Atletico Madrid at that time were as high as 1 to 42.5, and once they can successfully win the championship, even if they need to pay a lot of taxes, Feng Quan will still become a real billionaire.

At the beginning, Zhao Shijie, who was the leader of the "Wind Team", still had objections to Feng Quan's gambling behavior. However, when Feng Quan mentioned his "bumper harvest" during the World Championships last year, Zhao Shijie had no way to object. After all, the 10 million euros gambled this time is only a quarter of last year's gambling "revenue".

…………

Having just experienced the quarter-final of the Champions League against Barcelona four days ago, Diego Simeone made certain changes to the starting line-up in individual positions in the league match against Villarreal on April 6.

Diego Costa, who spent almost all of the game four days ago "wrestling" with opposing defenders, and Felipe Luiz and JuanfrΓ‘n, who are mainly responsible for marking Neymar and Messi and consume a lot of physical energy, were all put on the bench by Diego Simeone.

In addition, in the first leg of the match with Barcelona, Miranda did not enter the 18-man squad at all after receiving a yellow card for a tactical foul on Messi before the end of the game, and will miss the second leg of the match.

Diego Simeone did not do this to punish Miranda, but to use the game against Villarreal to hone in a new centre-back combination in order to be fully prepared for the second leg against Barcelona.

Originally, Diego Simeone wanted to put Feng Quan on the bench, but just a day ago, after the Argentine coach announced the 18-man squad for the match against Villarreal, Feng Quan came to his office alone.

"Wind, are you looking for me?" Diego Simeone asked.

"Boss, I have something I want to ask of you." Feng Quan said with a smile.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"I hope I can play as a starter for the rest of the season." Feng Quan said solemnly.

"Feng, I know your desire for victory very well, but you must also know that you are still a human being and not a machine after all, even if your physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, you will still have times of fatigue."

After a pause, Simeone continued: "So, I can promise to let you play as a starter for the rest of the Champions League, but for the rest of the league there will be selective settling on the bench to save unnecessary physical exertion. ”

"Boss, I understand what you're saying, but if I want to achieve a goal I've set for myself before the start of the season, I'll have your support."

"You mean to get all the championships you can?" Simeone asked.

"Not only that, but I also want to break the world record of 73 goals in a single season set by Messi." Feng Quan said with a firm expression.

Simeone gasped and thought, "What a big picture this kid has in mind!"

His goal is only to win the league and the Champions League double, and Feng Quan's goal also includes the somewhat "perverted" record created by Messi two years ago.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the system suddenly released the latest "football professional feeder mission" to himself after the Champions League 1/4 finals, Feng didn't know that Messi's single-season goal record was 73 goals, and it was impossible to want to take it for himself.

However, after completing the task, the reward of 10 skill points and 10 football professional attribute points immediately ignited Feng Quan's fighting spirit. You must know that Feng Quan is only 7 skill points away from being able to upgrade the [Great God's Light] again.

Therefore, even if you consume valuable skill points to purchase [Status Recovery Potion], Feng Quan must definitely give it a try.

"Wind, it's good that you want to break Messi's record and I'm willing to support you in achieving that goal. But ......after a pause, Simeone continued: "There are still seven games left in the league, a maximum of four games left in the Champions League, and only 11 games left in total. And you've scored a total of 51 goals in these two competitions, and you'll need to score another 23 goals to break Messi's record, which is really difficult! ”

"Boss, I just need to score 17 more goals, I still have 6 goals in the Copa del Rey that you seem to have forgotten. And, counting the Copa del Rey final, we have a total of 12 games to play. Feng Quan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Simeone first shook his head, then shook his head and said: "Wind, even if there are still 17 goals left, it is not so easy to complete." What's more, if you are allowed to participate in all 12 games, it will be difficult to guarantee your fitness and competitive condition. As a result, it will be difficult for you to achieve your goals, and it will even affect your team's results. ”

"Please rest assured about your fitness." Feng Quan said with a smile: "I just want to start the game, but I don't want to play the full 90 minutes. Whenever I feel that my fitness is significantly lower, or if you notice that my movement is not as aggressive, you can always take me off. ”

Simeone pondered for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, I might as well think about it." In some of the less important games, though, I'll only give you a maximum of 60 minutes. ”

"No problem." Feng Quan readily agreed. 2k reading web
