Chapter 717: And This Explanation?
"Hello audience friends, welcome to the 12th World Cup Football Match......" Song Shixiong's voice came from the black-and-white TV, and Shen Long, Chen Kaige and others crowded in front of the TV, watching the game attentively.
In 1978, the imperial court station recorded and broadcast the World Cup for the first time, which caused a huge response, so this year they increased their broadcast efforts, but because FIFA set the broadcast fee very high, the imperial court station could only adopt a joint broadcast method, and they sent Song Shixiong, Sun Zhengping and others to Xiangjiang to comment.
According to the footage transmitted directly from Spain, the first scene was recorded at 23:15 Beijing time, the second scene was recorded at 3:15 a.m., the third scene was recorded at 4:15, and at 11:30 the next day, someone sent the tape to Kai Tak Airport in Xiangjiang and sent it back to Beijing, and it was not broadcast live until the finals.
Teacher Sun is so young! Shen Long said with emotion that when he came, Sun Zhengping had been retired for several years, and at this time he was still a pink newcomer to the imperial court, and he was only transferred to the imperial court as a sports commentator last year; Since then, he has participated in the broadcasting, hosting, and commenting work of major international events such as seven Olympic Games, seven Asian Games, and six World Cup football matches, and has not exceeded this record among journalists in the country.
Shen Long watched the second match of this World Cup today, Italy vs. Poland, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides exchanged blanks, and then the second game between Italy and Peru was a draw.
Now he was in a hurry, and couldn't help but say while drinking coffee with Shen Long, "Mr. Sun, Italy's qualifying situation is very bad, they have to win the last game, and as far as I know, Italy is not good at attacking, and Rossi hasn't scored a single goal, it seems that your $10,000 is going to fly away." It can be seen that he has put some effort into this time.
Ken began to be glad that he didn't bet with Shen Long, although he lost ten percent of his income, but his translation fee was at least guaranteed, which was also a lot of money for him.
"Maybe I can lend you some money and you go bet on Brazil? Maybe we'll be able to recoup some of our losses? Ken suggested that Brazil had already qualified early with victories over the Bears and Scotland in their first two games.
"Don't worry, in fact, you don't have to win the last game to qualify, and a draw also has a chance." Shen Long said with a smile, in fact, Italy played three group games to a draw, and finally accumulated three points with Cameroon, ranking second in the group with the advantage of goals, maybe Italy is the only World Cup champion who has not won a game in the group stage, right?
A few days later, when the group stage was over, Ken swelled up a little hope, Italy really qualified, but Rossi still did not score a goal, Shen Long's bet is not a separate throw, but the champion and the top scorer are tied together, either of the mistakes can not win, correspondingly once hit, you can get super high odds.
"Italy's grouping is simply too unfavorable, neither Argentina nor Brazil is easy to play against." Ken began to worry again, and at this time there were two rounds in the group stage, and after the first round, the twelve teams were divided into four groups for a single round-robin match, and only the group winners could advance to the semi-finals.
In the first game of the second round, Italy defeated Argentina, but Rossi still did not score; Brazil won the second match against Argentina and the third match between Brazil and Italy will decide who wins the group.
This time, Rossi finally broke out, scoring three goals in a row to score a hat-trick to help Italy beat Brazil 3-2, allowing Zico, Socrates, Falcao and other heroes to return home, and he also jumped to the top of the scorer list, behind Rummenigge, Zico and Boniek who scored four goals.
When the semifinals began, Ken directly dragged Shen Long to the embassy to watch the live broadcast, and this time Rossi once again made a big show, scoring two goals in a row to send Poland back to his hometown, bringing Italy to the final, and tied for the top scorer with Rummenigge with five goals.
"Mr. Sun, as long as you win the last game and Rummenigge doesn't score more goals than Rossi, you're going to be rich!" At this time, Ken began to regret not following Shen Long to bet, which was more than 100,000 US dollars.
"I'm confident in the upcoming finals." This is history.
"Your bet is still a little too conservative, you have guessed the score in the previous games, and if we had placed separate bets, the payoff would have been much higher than what you have now." Before, he said that Shen Long was too bold, but now he began to complain that he was cowardly.
"That's already it." Shen Long laughed secretly in his heart, the Gambino family's money is not so easy to get, of course he can use his foresight to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, but the Gambino family will not be so honest, if he really does this, he and Ken may be fine, and the one who helped buy the lottery ticket is probably going to be thrown into the sea to plant lotuses.
In the third and fourth place finals, although Poland defeated France, Boniek did not score, and Rossi's hopes of winning the Golden Boot increased again.
On July 8th, the final officially began, and shortly after the start of the second half, Rossi scored another goal to give Italy the lead over Germany, and then Tardelli and Altobelli added the icing on the cake, and although Germany pulled one back in the 83rd minute through Breitner, it was too late, and they lost 3-1.
Italy won their third World Cup title, and Rossi also won the title of top scorer with six goals, Rossi can be said to be the most valuable Golden Boot winner in the history of the World Cup, his six goals were all completed in the last three games, and to be put in the future, almost the quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals, no one can compare with him in terms of the criticality of the goal.
"How did you guess?" As soon as the final whistle blew, Ken hugged Shen Long excitedly, and the game brought him tens of thousands of dollars.
"Oh, it's easy, you see, the previous champions were England, Brazil, Germany, Argentina ......, there are only so many strong teams, and now it's Italy's turn." Shen Long said nonsense, "As for why you guess why Rosie will be the top scorer, it's even simpler!" ”
"What is the reason?" Ken humbly asked, wondering if what he had learned could be used in the next competition.
"Because he was banned for two years! This is his greatest strength. ”
"A ban is still an advantage?"
"Yes, you think, if you haven't had sex with your girlfriend for two years, and then you finally get the chance, at least six or seven times a night, right? Rosie held back for two years before, and this time it's not good to! Shen Long said with a serious face.
Ken is directly confused, can there be such an explanation?
