Yin Chao is a native of Richeng, after all, he has not retired yet, and his family has not followed.

The three-bedroom units allocated to the unit are often occupied by only the two of them, because the family area is not far from the training ground, and it is suitable for eating at home even if you are hungry in the evening.

It's only been about 10 days of training, and the World Cup is here!

The year is 1998, which is the year of the World Cup.

It is also the famous 98 France World Cup, and this World Cup can also be said to be the most exciting, most influential, and most controversial World Cup in the past.

Controversy is controversy, not dirty.

If you want to talk about dirty, it must be the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup 4 years later, which is even more dirty, which makes the world know the shamelessness of the stick country. After all the time, neither Italy nor Spain allowed footballers from the country of sticks to appear.

In this World Cup, many people are asking why Brazil did not beat France in the end after beating the mighty Netherlands.

And it's a very simple 0:3, and I asked why, because France is the home field!.

Because this event is too classic, Chen Mingliang, as a person in half of the sports world, has naturally reviewed this World Cup many times and is very familiar with the results of the entire schedule.

Although he doesn't remember the result of every game, as long as it's not a tie game, as long as there is a game in which a well-known strong team participates, he has watched it carefully, he hates deuces, unless it's a classic game, otherwise he doesn't want to watch it!

The other is that as long as there is a strong team participating in the game, Chen Mingliang still remembers the score.

Not only this World Cup, but also the next one, the results of the next session are not a secret in Chen Mingming.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the World Cup, Chen Mingliang hid in the mosquito net and thought about it carefully, since 98 years, there has been a large-scale football event every two years, whether it is the World Cup or the European Cup, he knows the result!

And I remember the scores of many games, this is also a fortune, this is a wealth that can be exchanged.

The first matchday of the World Cup is June 10,

There are two matches in Group A, Norway against Morocco and Brazil against Scotland.

As the opening event, it was the last World Cup winner's kick-off. Against an underdog, Scotland.

In Europe, the British team is known as the European Chinese team, which is a pseudo-strong team, and a large part of the reason is that the troops are too scattered, obviously one country, and divided into four teams.

As the World Cup match day approaches, the athletes of the provincial sports teams, including the track and field team, have long been itching.

Almost all sports people love sports competitions, especially the men's football World Cup, which has the world's first influence.

The leaders of the sports team are also benevolent, knowing that it is better to be sparse in this regard, they are all engaged in sports, and they also want to watch the World Cup, which is not unusual.

Therefore, after looking at them, they deliberately gave a rule: during the World Cup, whenever there is a game, you can watch the replay of the game in the lounge the next morning, and there is no need to arrange training.

A wise and merciful decision.

This also basically alleviated the enthusiasm of the masses to watch the game.

Because the enthusiasm for watching the live broadcast was not fully ignited at that time, it was okay to watch the replay, anyway, they were all world powerhouses, as long as no one around gave you spoilers, it was a live broadcast.

But there are disgusting people everywhere who like spoilers, and Yin Chao is. He just wants to watch the live broadcast, and then suddenly shouts the score when a group of people are looking forward to watching the replay, which makes you lose your sense of expectation, and it is more uncomfortable than a fly!

Yin Chao, as a 30-year-old fritter, doesn't want to watch the game at his own home, saying that there is no atmosphere here, and it is lively to find a place where fans gather to watch the game together, and you can also bet on the score.

He really has his own way of looking at the goal.

Not only can you watch football here, but you can also drink, which also brings Chen Mingliang the opportunity to make a fortune.

Not far from the provincial sports team training base, there is a four-star hotel. Because next to the training base is a large standard gymnasium, the A-League is held here all year round, and it is very popular.

This four-star hotel is a hospitality hotel, which was already a very luxurious hotel in the past, and has since been completely renovated and upgraded to a five-star hotel.

The guests of this hotel are mainly prepared for the away team of A A who come to the provincial capital to play football, at this time the professionalization of A has not been a few years old, and the masses have not lost confidence in football, which is the hottest era of football.

This hotel is usually occupied by either players or rich fans, and the football atmosphere is the strongest.

As a senior sports person, Yin Chao is of course very familiar with these people in the football circle.

The World Cup is here. Domestic competitions were also temporarily suspended.

Some people with good hands and eyes rent an entire floor in the hotel to organize the football viewing.

The public space is an oversized conference room, which is used for group viewing.

They also prepared several large rear projection color TVs, and the projector was not easy to use at this time. Barrels of draught beer were set up around, like a hill, and then a group of people watched the football casually, drank casually, all of them were people from the sports circle, like a club, and no outsiders were invited, and the drinks were free to drink, which was enjoyable.

However, if you want to bet on the lottery, you can go to the next room to place a bet, and it is a package designed by a trader invited from Macau.

Drinking, playing excited, with a female companion can also go to the same floor of the hotel room accommodation, with the betting code can get a room card, accommodation is also free.

The World Cup in '98 is also known as the first year of football betting in China, because in this year, Macau's gaming companies began to get involved in the football betting industry, which is a relatively fair way to play, to play is diversity, to play is probability.

They have opened a handicap to test the waters, and it has also made it possible for more people to participate, and it has become harder to guess whether to win or lose.

It was not until 2001 that the domestic official organization borrowed this method to officially launch the football lottery, but it was the beginning of this World Cup that the Chinese people really came into contact with gambling.

The football lottery began to launch a simple win, loss and draw, and it was not very good at handicaping.

Football lottery is really popular,Or after the spread of the Internet era,Especially the 2010 South Africa World Cup,This is the golden age of fans buying lottery online.

10 June 1998. Sunny and hot.

Chen Mingliang finished a day's normal training, did physiotherapy, went back to the dormitory, took a shower, and went to bed.

I just slept for less than two hours, and I was called up by Yin Chao, walked away, and went home with me to watch the ball.

Let's go, follow me home, you can watch the live broadcast at night, and my brother will show you a different world.

It's good to witness history, too!

The two got on Yin Chao's motorcycle and set off.

They didn't go back to Yin Chao's house directly, but went to this hotel near the gymnasium.

Both of them are mature, they look like they are about thirty, and Chen Mingliang is a little younger, and he is twenty-five or sixteen.

Take the elevator to the 10th floor. This floor is between the 9th and 10th floors, and you can't get there by elevator. It's already past the 9th floor, and it doesn't stop at all, and no one knows that there is another floor here, which can only be walked down through the stairs in the middle of the 10th floor.

Yin Chao is an acquaintance in their circle, Chen Mingliang knew that he was also a person in the sports circle when he looked at this body shape, and the person guarding the door didn't ask anything, just let them go in by the stairs on the floor.

When I went in, there was a special person to guide me outside, and there was a special person to warm up in the venue, and the passionate DJ was a rough man with a full beard, and there were not many people on the scene.

The conference room is huge, with a capacity of two or three hundred people.

Around the conference room,There are 8 very large rear projection color TVs,No matter where you sit in the conference room,You can clearly see the live broadcast of the ball game。

At this time, CCTV's Han Qiaosheng was already explaining, looking at a young man with eyes.

This event venue is really big.

Yin Chao and Chen Mingliang were led to sit on a table near the middle, on which were sliced fruits such as watermelon, barrels of draft beer, and some cold dishes with wine.

"If you want to eat, if you want to drink, you don't need money."

"So good?."

All this is something that Chen Mingliang has never experienced.

"That's, look at that group of people, they're fake A football teams, and they're always rich."

"Our track and field team is still poor, and we can only live on competition bonuses and wages. An ordinary player, they can easily make tens of thousands of dollars a month. ”

I regret that I didn't learn to play football at that time.

"Brother Yin, don't envy these, you are now a civil servant in the Sports Bureau, 90% of these football players will not be as good as you in the future, especially those who love to play and play wildly, maybe they will go in that day."

"Okay, you kid, you even know that."

"Their football players are so black, even anyone dares to sell them, these people who collect black money will go to jail sooner or later" Yin Chao was indignant.

"Regardless of that, let's study the game first." , said Yin Chao took out the sports newspaper.

"Later, my brother will take you to play two fun games." Saying that, Yin Chao patted his pocket, and there was a thick stack of money inside, roughly estimated at one or two thousand.

Chen Mingliang understands in seconds, in his previous life, he often bought football lottery, especially during the world, and the bet was often bought for three or five thousand, each with a win or a defeat, too many upsets, and an overall small loss.

Today's match is Norway vs. Morocco and Brazil vs. Scotland.

What the hell is this in the first game, two spicy chickens, no impression.

However, Chen Mingliang remembers the second game, the Brazilian team was 2:1 and 3:0 out of the line in the group stage, and in the end it seemed that it was a substitute who lost the third game 1:2. The knockout rounds were a 4-1 win over Chile and a 3-2 win over Denmark, before a penalty kick against the strongest Netherlands. As a result, they lost 0:3 to France in the final.

This first match of the Brazilian team, no matter what the intermediate schedule is, the result is definitely 2:1!

Yin Chao studied for a long time, relying on the amount of news in the newspaper, he didn't know how many hands of news it was, and what kind of flowers he could study.

He asked Chen Mingming, who do you think will win?

Just ask Chen Mingliang!

"In the opening game, both teams were spicy chickens, which was a spicy chicken pecking at each other, who knows who can win, but in the second game I know Brazil can win."

"Haha, spicy chickens peck each other!? It's apt. ”

"In the second game, I still need to say it, I also know that Brazil can win, they won the championship in 94, the strongest in the universe! Dealing with a small Scotland is not a matter of hand-to-hand swords. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the world."
