Chapter 8: Away Rage
In the aisle of the stadium, a man was hurrying forward, because he was in a hurry, and from time to time he would bump into passers-by, and when he reached the core of the stadium, the stadium guard stopped him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
He is Lopez, he has already seen the tactical intentions of the Chinese team, and at halftime, he wanted to rush into the dressing room in the Philippines to remind his country's players that they could not relax in the second half.
Facing the guards, Lopez pulled out his press card, "I'm a reporter for The Manila Times. β
The guard looked at the press card and said, "The president is meeting the players in the locker room, you are the American journalist, and you will leave for me too." β
As we all know, Filipinos are most afraid of Americans, so this sentence carries a lot of weight.
Lopez was anxious, "I know what the Chinese want to do, I have to remind them", after saying that, Lopez wanted to break in.
But the guards have practiced, and they can't help but say something, so they fold Lopez's two hands behind their backs, and then take Lopez away like picking up a chicken. β

In the Philippine locker room, the players sat in front of them because the president was right in front of them.
"Boy, you did a good job, you can play 0-0 with the Chinese team in the first half, I'm proud of you."
The Filipino players also felt strange, the Chinese team didn't seem to have a force in the first half, and they didn't know why, but since the president praised himself, of course he was very happy.
Just listen to the Philippine president continue: "But this is not enough, on our soil, we have to defeat the Chinese team." β
When everyone heard this, they shouted "Damn" in their hearts at the same time. β
"You politicians are playing lip service, but football is played with real knives and guns,"
But who would dare to refute the president's words to his face.
The Philippine president was elected because of his tongue-in-cheek walking, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "For the dream of 80 million Filipinos, I ask you to defeat the Chinese team." β
βyes`i`canβ
Everyone shouted with the president.
When Don Quixote was dizzy and rushed to the windmill, the result was predictable, it was a cup.
*****
If the Filipino players were still rational in the first half, then at the beginning of the second half, the Filipino players had completely lost their rationality, and their three lines were getting closer and forward, and even the back line was pressed near the center circle.
At this time, Li Guo knew that the time had come, he stood up and walked to the sidelines, stretched out his index finger and kept stirring in the air, which meant to speed up.
The Philippine midfielder was cut off by the Chinese team during a straight stopper, at this time the Chinese team's side quickly stepped forward, the midfielder picked the ball, a subtle pass and ran coordination, a beautiful anti-offside, and the entire Philippine defense line was useless.
The Chinese team's wide players quickly stepped forward after receiving the ball, because the Philippine back line was empty, and the Chinese team did not choose a more complicated combination, but directly cut inside to shoot.
The goal went in, no suspense, 1-0.
As soon as the ball was scored, the scene was suddenly silent, and the face of the Philippine president in the stands became ugly, "Why is the plot different from what he imagined?" β
Football is sometimes really similar to war, as long as the deadlock is broken, the balance is completely tilted to one side, and before the Filipino players can calm down, soon, the second goal came again, this time the Chinese team is bullying the Filipino players for not being tall, a cross from the side, and a header from the middle.
2 to 0.
To make matters worse, the Filipino players also had physical problems, and when it was 0-0, they could still hold on to it in one breath, but now that this breath is gone, they suddenly feel like their legs are as heavy as lead.
The Philippine head coach walked to the sidelines, at this time like ants on a hot pot, the Filipino players couldn't run, and the Chinese team seemed to have just finished warming up, he expected that something bad might be done, and he might be spent, so he hurriedly asked the players on the bench to warm up.
Before the Philippine substitution, the 3rd and 4th goals came one after another, seeing this, the Philippine president's face was already pale, and he said indignantly: "Don't look at it, go back to the presidential palace." β
And many Filipino fans at the scene also began to leave the stadium early, at this time the game was only 70 minutes old, but everyone couldn't stand it anymore.
*****
At this time, Lopez was so anxious that he was locked up in a small guardhouse by the guards, and in order to prevent him from making trouble, he was not allowed to leave until the end of the game.
And there is no TV in the guardhouse, so Lopez doesn't know what's going on outside, and doesn't know if the Philippines can work a miracle, "Hopefully my worries are unnecessary." β
At this time, he was still thinking that maybe the Chinese team was not deliberately showing weakness, but was not accustomed to the water and soil in the Philippines.
"That's right, it must be the Chinese players who are not adapted," Lopez smiled at the thought of this.
The game was over, and the guard opened the door to the guardhouse, "You can go now." β
"Did we win?"
"you M," today is the Philippines' National Shame Day, this stupid guy still asks if we won?
"What's wrong?"
"Get out," the guard yelled.
Looking at the five big and three thick guards in front of him, Lopez, who was usually arrogant, couldn't be arrogant, picked up his bag, and quickly left the guardhouse.
Leaving the stadium, Lopez saw that the Filipino fans were like frosted eggplants, drooping their heads.
It is estimated that he lost, which was expected by Lopez, as a professional football reporter, he knows very well the strength of the Chinese team, but how many losses there are, it should not exceed 5, the Chinese team is not so strong.
At this time, Lopez's cell phone rang, and it was the phone number of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, "Hey, boss." β
"Where are you kid, I've been calling you,"
Lopez explained for a while, but the editor-in-chief couldn't listen to the explanation at all, "Okay, I don't listen to the explanation, I just want to tell you that you won't use it in the future." β
As soon as these words came out, Lopez was like five thunderbolts, "What happened?" β
"What happened? We lost eight, 0-8, and I don't think Filipinos will ever watch football again, so as a football journalist, you don't have to come again. β
After saying that, the editor-in-chief dropped the phone, leaving Lopez on the other end of the phone stupid.
"Eight? How can it be? β
In fact, if the Philippines honestly put the bus, it should not lose so much, but unfortunately, they slapped their swollen faces and became fat, and this time their faces were really swollen.
Lopez lost the gamble, and even if he didn't run naked, he would be a joke in the Philippines, so the editor-in-chief of the chicken thief simply fired him.
In a fit of rage, Lopez slammed the Nokia in his hand, he had also dropped the phone before, Nokia was known to be unbreakable, but this time I don't know how, the phone fell apart, this time Lopez hurt, the salary in the Philippines is not high, although as a reporter, this mobile phone is also his salary for three months.
"Li Guo, I'm not done with you," Lopez said hatefully.
