The opening ceremony and opening match of the World Youth Championships officially kicked off on the evening of March 18.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the official start of the opening ceremony, but the Capital Workers' Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators, was already full of people. Although many fans know that the opening Warring States Youth Team will definitely lose badly against Brazil, since it is a game at home, if you don't come to see it, you always feel unwilling.

Moreover, fans know that this year's Brazilian youth team is the strongest and most star-studded Brazilian youth team in the past, with five international superstars such as Connavado, Leonido, and Cafoaca, all of whom became famous at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and none of them are now over twenty years old, but they have all become the absolute main force and pillar of their football club. Connavado, in particular, was last year's "World Footballer of the Year" and the youngest "World Footballer of the Year" to date.

Therefore, many fans did not actually come to watch the games of the Chinese youth team, but to go with the Brazilian team and those international superstars. They all know very well that at the current level of the Chinese youth team, to confront the Brazilian team, which is the strongest and has the best chance of winning the championship, is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and a mantis arm as a car, and will definitely lose badly.

However, despite knowing that the national youth team had no hope of winning, several major fan associations in the capital still organized fans who bought tickets for the opening ceremony to wear red clothes and pants, wrap red silk cloth on their heads, paint the national flag on their faces, and wave a horn in their hands, and form a square formation in the stadium audience seats. There is a gong and drum team in each area, and although the game has not yet begun, the sound of horns and deafening gongs and drums in the stadium is already resounding in the sky, and those who pass by outside the workers' stadium can feel the warm atmosphere inside without entering......

Outside the stadium, because this is the first time that an international football tournament has been held in Huaxia, almost all bars and squares and shopping malls with large electronic screens are already overcrowded. Everyone had the same idea: to feel and experience the atmosphere of a major international football tournament in their home country, to watch the match between the national youth team and the world's strongest team, Brazil, and to see how big the gap between the level of football in their home country and the world's best level is......

Lin Xue was originally going to go to the scene with the old chief to watch the opening ceremony and the opening game, but she was depressed when she sat down with her grandfather and those central leaders, and she couldn't applaud and blow the horn to cheer for the sneer who might come on the field as she wanted, and she couldn't see the expressions of the players when watching the football game on the spot, which was far less clear than the TV broadcast. So, she lied to the old chief, saying that she had made an appointment with a few classmates to go to the school to watch the game together, so she took the car to the "No. 9 Fan Bar" near Capital University.

Lin Xue knew that Sneer's classmates were all partying in this bar, waiting for Sneer's day to come on the field, waving the flag and blowing the horn and shouting to cheer for him. She loved the uninhibited, frenetic, and heart-to-drink atmosphere of the bar, so she didn't hesitate to come here.

Li Rui and the others were extremely surprised when they saw Lin Xue coming in alone.

Li Rui put her in the front position and asked, "Xiaoxue, didn't Xiaotian say that you can go to the scene with your grandfather to watch the game, why did you come to this place?"

Lin Xue stroked the bangs in front of her forehead, grinned, and said: "Sitting on that rostrum, surrounded by big leaders, I'm so bored! Besides, if my husband is on the field, I can only see his figure on that high rostrum, and I can't see his face clearly, it's better to see his expression clearly through TV and occasionally a close-up of him!"

Li Rui nodded and said, "That's the same." By the way, do you dare to drink today?"

Lin Xue raised her eyebrows: "Nonsense, why am I here if I don't drink?"

When several sneering classmates around heard this, they all gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiaoxue is happy, women don't let their eyebrows go, they are much more arrogant than that Su Xiaodan!"

As soon as Lin Xue heard that they compared her to Su Xiaodan, she guessed that Sneer Xiaotian must have often taken Su Xiaodan to party with these classmates of his before, and couldn't help but be jealous, and said angrily: "In the future, I am here, you are not allowed to mention Su Xiaodan! If you mention her again, you will be punished for drinking a dozen beers first!"

The classmates stuck out their tongues and quickly silenced.

At this time, the little dealer nicknamed "Centipede" that Lin Xue saw last time came over again and told Li Rui and others: The betting handicap for tonight's match between the Huaxia team and the Brazilian team is that the Brazilian team has two and a half goals, 80 percent water, and asked them if they would bet.

Lin Xue didn't understand the rules of gambling and asked Li Rui what this handicap meant.

Li Rui told her: The so-called Brazilian team concedes two and a half goals, that is, if the bet is placed on the side of the Brazilian team, the Brazilian team must win the Chinese team by three goals, and the bet is considered to win, and even if the Brazilian team wins three goals and wins, it can only win a profit equivalent to 80% of the principal. That is to say: if you bet 100 yuan on the Brazilian team, on the premise that the Brazilian team wins the Chinese team by three goals, the bettor can win 80 yuan. If Brazil only wins by two goals or one goal, or if the two sides are tied, the bet on Brazil loses......

After Lin Xue understood, she asked, "Which side do you all buy?"

Li Rui said: "Of course, it is to buy the Brazilian team. We have made a comprehensive analysis: this time the Brazilian youth team is the strongest in their previous national youth teams, and has international superstars such as Connavado and Leonido, and it is estimated that they will win at least four goals or more against the Chinese youth team, so we are all ready to bet on the Brazilian team. ”

Lin Xue saw Li Rui talking, took out 1,000 yuan, and took the paper and pen handed over by the "centipede" to fill in the list of bets, suddenly snatched his paper and pen, and said arrogantly: "You traitors, how can you bet on the Brazilian team to win? The signs are not good! No, you all have to bet on the Chinese team to win!"

As she spoke, she asked "Centipede" again: "If the Chinese team is betting to win the Brazilian team, what are the odds?"

The "centipede" was startled and said, "Miss, you're not joking, are you! Our handicap is Brazil handicap two and a half goals! Huaxia wins Brazil? How is this possible?"

Lin Xue threw away the paper and pen, and said impatiently: "You don't care about it! Do you know to tell me: If you bet on the Huaxia team to win, what are the odds?"

"Centipede" looked at the table marked with handicap and odds, and said: "If the Chinese team wins by one goal, the odds are 1 to 50, two goals to win, one to 100, and three goals to win, 1 to 500." ”

Lin Xue threw Li Rui's 1,000 yuan to the "centipede" and said, "You buy him 1,000 yuan first, and then buy it according to the Huaxia team's winning, and then buy 5,000 yuan for me according to the same handicap!"

As he spoke, he took out his wallet and threw 5,000 yuan to the "centipede".

Li Rui saw that she had bought him a handicap with no chance of winning, his cheeks flushed, and he shouted bitterly: "Auntie, aren't you throwing money into the water? If you think this money is hot, you can buy wine for us to drink, or go to the street to give alms to those homeless people, don't waste money so much!"

Lin Xue looked at his angry appearance, smiled proudly, and said, "I just want to punish you unpatriotic guys!" Come on, come on, a few of you should buy a little each, and you should support my husband and the national youth team mentally!"

As soon as the classmates who were watching the excitement on the side heard her call, they were afraid that she would have a rude temper and force them to pay money to buy the Huaxia team to win and "support her husband", so they dispersed in a hurry, and disappeared in the bustling fans in an instant, so angry that Lin Xue was stunned, standing at the table and scolding "stingy ghosts and traitors......

At 7:50, in a majestic welcome song and warm applause from the audience, the No. 1 and No. 5 heads of state, accompanied by several foreign heads of state, FIFA presidents and other senior officials who had been invited to attend the opening ceremony of the World Youth Championships, walked into the rostrum in the audience and waved to the audience.

The old chief was also supported by a guard, and sat down next to Secretary Bai, the fifth leader.

In the players' lounge, the British side gathered the players together and was making the final pre-war mobilization: "Comrades: There is an old saying that a mourning soldier will win! Today, in the face of the powerful Brazilian team and the argument that world public opinion believes that we will definitely lose, we can be called a mourning soldier who is not favored by others! However, we must not be inferior ourselves. We must have the fighting spirit of the mourning soldiers, but we must not have the frustration and negativity of the mourning soldiers! We must summon up courage, build up confidence, and display the technical and tactical level of our usual training, as well as our style and momentum. As long as we do our best, even if we lose, we will still be honored! Our goal today is to strive to score a goal, and second, to try to draw or even win this game! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!"

All the players shouted in unison.

Leng Xiaotian stood at the back of the team, and when he heard the passionate speech of the British side, his heart was also excited, and his impression of him suddenly became much better......

After the No. 1 leader announced the opening of this World Youth Football Championship, the next step was the athletes' entrance ceremony and a short but wonderful cultural performance.

At 9:20, the referees, coaches, and players of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team who participated in the opening game entered the stadium. Each member of the team on both sides held a child with pink makeup by hand, and walked to the center of the lawn to stand in the thunderous applause of the audience, and many reporters ran up and knelt to take pictures and videos......

In Bar No. 9, when Sneer Xiaotian took a child's hand and appeared in the TV camera with a smile, Lin Xue, who had been staring intently at the screen, jumped up from the high stool and shouted excitedly: "Li Rui, my husband has appeared! Have you seen it?"

The fans around her looked at her with amazement, wondering which husband she was referring to......
