Chapter 102 - Bitter Cold Weather, Saint-Germain's Enemy

From minus five or six degrees to minus 10 degrees at once, the temperature difference is more than ten degrees. Getting off the plane, Wayd Alilozik's heart, like the temperature in Moscow, dropped to freezing. A draw would allow you to qualify, which may seem like an excellent situation, but it is quite difficult to complete. CSKA players should be very comfortable with this kind of weather, and his players ......

Wayd Alilozik looked at the players around him, all of them with the tiredness of a long trip on their faces, and their necks were clenched. He could almost see the shivering bodies of the players under the thick sports coats. The hot breath they exhaled seemed to freeze into ice slag in an instant.

Wayd Alilozik had a sense of foreboding that his team would be unlucky to play in such weather. How he wished the weather would change and the temperature would rise so his team could compete with their opponents.

Boskovich rubbed his hands, stomped his feet, and scolded: "What the hell! ”

The only exception is Tang Jue, whose body has been modified by genetic medicine has more adaptability than ordinary people. He didn't seem to be affected much, carrying a sports bag and a steady walk.

……

After arriving in Moscow, Saint-Germain quickly threw himself into acclimatization after a short break. Three o'clock in the afternoon, the warmest time of the day. Wayed Alilozik led his team to the training ground.

Wayd Alilozik kept reporters out of the door during pre-match training. He didn't want CSKA to know in advance about Saint-Germain's main lineup and tactical play.

Standing at the highest point of Moscow, the snowflakes are fluttering, and the heavy snow in the sky is like cotton wool, which is fluttering one after another, giving Moscow a silver coat, which is very beautiful.

The Saint-Germain players are heavily armed, wearing thick sports jackets and black gloves on their hands. Even so, they rubbed their hands from time to time while doing warm-up jogging. Their noses had frozen red, and the north wind was like a knife, scraping across their faces, and their faces turned pale.

Pauletta couldn't help but curse during her jog: "What the hell! ”

His voice seemed to be frozen, piercing and cold. Everyone else was silently stepping on the thick snow on the turf, and their feet let out a "crunch!" Crunch! Voice.

It didn't take long for snow to fall on their shoulders. Tiny ice cubes are generated on the eyelashes!

Training in such weather, the Saint-Germain players felt as if they were tied with ropes, they were slow to move, and every step was difficult. Their muscles are as stiff as ice cubes, unable to give them momentum to action.

Tang Jue was an exception, his actions were not affected at all, like the elves in the snow-covered forest. It's like a Siberian tiger, looking for prey in the snow!

……

After arriving in Moscow, Waid-Alilozik was not in a good mood. The weather forecast in Moscow says that there will be heavy snow for the next few days, and the temperature will continue to drop. His mood became more and more uncomfortable.

In training, he saw that except for Tang Jue, his team members were all acting abnormally. The team is a whole, and one person is unlikely to save a team. Even if Tang can perform normally, if the other players are abnormal, the game is also not optimistic.

Several of Europe's major sports media outlets are already making pre-match predictions. None of the media outlets were bullish on Saint-Germain.

The headline of the French team newspaper read: Low temperature, CSKA is favored by God.

They believed that Saint-Germain would have a hard time confronting CSKA in such bad weather. The cold is the biggest obstacle in front of Saint-Germain, who are at the bottom of the equation no matter how you calculate it.

The headline of the Marca newspaper read: Ice and snow, Saint-Germain will be put to the test.

They believed that CSKA had the right time and place, and that what awaited Saint-Germain would be a snow war. In such weather, CSKA will have an advantage.

They also predict a forward partnership for Saint-Germain, believing Don will start with Reinaldo. One high and one fast, is the best match for Saint-Germain at present. Reinaldo uses his aerial superiority to not only threaten the opposition goal, but also to play a supporting role in the front court. Create a shooting opportunity for Tang Jue.

The headline of the Milan sports newspaper read: Whether Don can continue his strong performance will be the key to the game.

Milan Sport, which has a keen sense of smell, has already sniffed that AC Milan is interested in buying Tang Jue. In the commentary, they said: Don has shaken off the previous slump in the first two Ligue 1 games, scoring seven goals in two games, and his performance is so impressive. If Don can continue his good form in the previous two games, Saint-Germain could well progress from the group.

Cold Moscow, with its slippery turf, was a formidable challenge for Don. The ability to exert speed on slippery turf is the key to performance.

Pauletta has just returned from injury and came off the bench in the last game against Metz and had a mediocre performance. When it comes to the key Mr. Saint-Germain, it has to be Don. His performance decided the fate of Saint-Germain.

……

Don rarely cares about the media, in his opinion, the media is a chameleon, when you behave well, they can lift you up to the sky, and when you don't behave well, they can beat you to hell.

For this life-and-death battle, Tang Jue was like a Siberian tiger in the dark night, slowly gathering strength. When the prey appears, he pounces on it and tears it to pieces. CSKA Moscow was the prey in his eyes.

In the two days before the game, Tang Jue discussed the details of the game with his teammates in addition to training. At a low temperature of minus 10 degrees, Tang Jue's competitive state in training did not seem to be affected by the low temperature, which greatly encouraged several bigwigs of the team. Deu and Boskovic approached Vaid Alilozik one after another, and it is unknown what they talked about between them.

Pauletta seemed not in high spirits and rarely stepped out of his room in the hotel, unlike his previous style. In the past, he was always the most active person in the team during important away games. Constantly move from room to room to give the rest of your teammates a morale boost.

The life-and-death battle was scheduled for seven o'clock in the evening Moscow time. At 11 o'clock in the morning of December 27, the coaches of both sides announced the squads. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the starting list was announced.

Pauletta did not appear in the starting line-up, as predicted by the media before the game. Saint-Germain's forward line was paired by Tang Jue and Reinaldo. Wayd Alilozik's intention was clear, to use Reinaldo's header to attract the attention of CSKA defenders and create more space for Tang Jue.

The clouds over Moscow are so low that they seem to be palpable from a tall building. The snow is still falling, and they are like naughty children, and when people have just cleared the snow, in the blink of an eye, they are covered again.

At half past six in the evening, the Luzhniki Stadium was full, and there were few empty seats in the stands for 85,000 spectators. Moscow fans have to beat the drums of war with loud shouts to motivate their players to fight. With a loud shout, the Saint-Germain players were scared.

This is a life-and-death battle that cannot be done without their support. They wore red jerseys and burned like flames. They are the fire, to burn Saint-Germain to ashes.

The bitterly cold weather stopped many Saint-Germain fans. On the west side of the stadium, only 2,000 Saint-Germain fans in blue jerseys braved the cold to cheer on their fighters.

Long guns and short cannons had already been set up on the sidelines, and some reporters rubbed their hands and stomped their feet from time to time. The weather forecast says that the temperature at night is minus thirteen degrees! In such weather, saliva spits on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it becomes ice.

Before the game, Wayd Alilozik silently muttered to himself: "O God Almighty, please give me strength." I hope that Tang will have a super level of performance in the game, and I hope that the other players can play normally. ”

At 6:40, in the away team's dressing room, the players gathered together, their outstretched right hands folded into a tower. Dewu cried out: "Victory! Win! ”

"Victory! Win! ”

The words are sonorous and powerful, as if they can drive away the cold that invades the body. Their eyes are full of war!

The same thing played out in the home team's dressing room.

A life-and-death battle is about to break out!

Before entering the arena, Pauletta patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and said, "Tang, our hope is in you. ”

Tang Jue looked up at Pauletta and said with a smile: "Believe me, you will definitely have time to play!" ”

A flash of surprise quickly flashed in Pauletta's eyes, he understood what Tang Jue meant!
