Green Dragon

Chapter 773 The Eve of the Final Battle
"We did our best."

"Dragon is the real king of the ball!"

"The Chinese team is definitely the champion!"

"Argentina won't win the runner-up, I'll live broadcast and eat meat!"

In the mixed interview area after the game, whether it was the Egyptian coach Cooper or his disciples, there were only a few words in their mouths.

Salah, who scored twice, shook hands with the opponent on behalf of the team, and he was also embraced by the club captain.

Long Shute comforted him:
"Stop crying, you are already better than 99.9999% of the players in the world! Even Messi and Ronaldo may not be able to score two goals in front of us!"

Salah nodded, but there was still some frustration on his face.

Long Shute smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Boy, you don't really want to bring down the club's old captain here, do you?"

Salah suddenly felt a chill rush from his shoulders between his legs, and he quickly shook his wavy head:
"Captain, brother! This joke...isn't funny!"
-
The two semi-finals have come to an end, and the two teams participating in the finals have also been officially determined.

From the perspective of historical results, Argentina has always been a favorite. Although the former golden generation is a little old, their promotion is still not surprising.

The real surprise, of course, is the Chinese team.

When Long Shute announced for the first time that the goal of the Chinese team in this World Cup was to be the top eight, most people just thought it was a good wish.

But when Captain Red led the team to stage massacres and tragedies one after another, everyone gradually accepted his conclusion, even more firmly than he himself believed:
The championship suspense of this World Cup...has been completely ended!
Judging from the odds offered by the major gaming companies, the odds of the Chinese team losing can almost be compared with that of the United States merging into China within a month!
Currently, there are two most popular projects:

The first is whether the Chinese team can score a double-digit score in the final.

The second is, as the captain of China, Long Shute, how many goals can he increase his personal World Cup goals from 44? -
"How much can Dragon improve his scoring record in the final?"

Argentina coach Jorge Sampaoli has lost count, and this is the first time he has answered such a question in a day.

He shook his bald head, trying not to look so ugly on his face:
"Oh no no no, that's his record, I don't care.

If I have anything to do with that, it's that...my job is to keep his record at 44 goals as long as possible.

Of course I know it's hard, but if you don't do it, who will know? "

He finally maintained his basic politeness and demeanor, and blocked the reporters who wanted to provoke a war of words at the gate of the Argentine training base with decent answers.

After he entered the base, he turned around and told the security:
"From now on, we are all closed to the outside world, no one is allowed to walk out of this gate, and no media reporter is allowed to enter this gate!"

Sampaoli gritted his teeth and turned away:

If these reporters are allowed to harass the Argentine players endlessly with such questions, the Pampas eagles will probably dream of that man's record when they sleep, how terrifying it is! -
"Leo, in a few days' time there will be a match between you and Long Shute in the World Cup. Who do you think will win?"

Sampaoli's order was a little too late, and the Argentine captain had already been blocked.

Messi is not the type of Long Shute who likes to pat his chest in front of the camera and talk boastfully. He doesn't like the "flies" who surround him every day.

He glanced at the camera coldly:
"You'll know in a few days."
-
"Cristiano, who do you think will win, Messi or Long Shute?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, already vacationing on the coast of the United States, was also asked this question because of Portugal's early elimination.

He shrugged his shoulders and showed his muscular chest muscles in front of the camera:
"The question is meaningless, you people are just forcing the conversation. There is no denying that Messi at the club is of course a very strong player, but he is far from his peak in the national team, And Long Shute... No matter in the club or the national team, he is absolutely invincible.

I can't stop him, Messi...and definitely can't stop him! "
-
"In the survey conducted on the FIFA official website, more than 80% of the fans chose that the Chinese team is most likely to become the champion of this World Cup, but at the same time, more than 70% of the fans hope that Argentina can beat the Chinese team.

Such a choice may seem contradictory, but it truly reflects the situation of this World Cup. "

On a certain day, on CCTV’s World Cup program, the host Zhang Bin said:
"I don't know when it started, Messi and his Argentine team, who was once considered by everyone to be a genius who hadn't met in 50 years, showed a weak side in front of the Chinese team.

I don't know when the Chinese team led by Long Shute suddenly became the target that all the teams wanted to conquer...

This Chinese team has never been so strong that I can't even tell the players to be careful and not to underestimate the enemy... It seems that as long as they step on the court, they can bring the golden Hercules Cup back to China! "
-
While the whole world is wondering whether the final will be the bloodbath of the Chinese team against Argentina, or Argentina's shocking reversal of the Chinese team, on July 7, the third and fourth finals between Germany and Egypt have quietly started.

Although the third place battle is related to the ownership of the bronze medal, compared with other knockout games, this decisive battle often does not bring too much pressure, and both sides of the game can often give full play.

The game was played relatively openly, and there was not much suspense in the ending.

Compared with the German team, which had a 3-day rest, the Egyptian team, which had one less adjustment day, undoubtedly suffered a little.

In addition to physical fitness and state, the Egyptian team, which has not played in the World Cup for 28 years, is seriously inexperienced.

What's more serious is that their players are still immersed in the grief of being massacred by the Chinese team. Such a team is completely unable to stop the overall advancement of the German chariot.

If Salah hadn't encouraged his teammates with a goal in time, this would have become another cruel massacre...

The final score was fixed at 4-2, and the defending champion Germany team did not accidentally crush their opponents.

At the press conference after the game, players from both sides were also asked about their views on tomorrow's final.

Germany captain Thomas Müller stands steadfastly behind his old team-mate:

"Long is a good friend of mine, so I support his national team 100 per cent."

The core of the Egyptian team, Mohamed Salah, also gave the answer:

"This kind of question...do you still need to ask me?"
-
Almost at the same time, the pre-match press conference for the final was also held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

Sampaoli had closed training for four days and was also quiet for four days, but on this occasion, he could no longer escape.

"Dragon...of course is a formidable opponent, we will use all methods to limit him."

A reporter immediately asked:
"Have you found a way to restrain him?"

Sampaoli shrugged:

"I said I found it, do you believe me?"

His words drew a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene.

Messi, the captain of Argentina, did not appear at the press conference and was replaced by vice-captain Javier Mascherano.

Compared with the low-key club champion, Pony is the most reliable spiritual leader of the Pampas Eagles.

Even though he knew that Argentina was not as strong as his opponent, Makoto still acted very tough:
"I admire Long Shute's achievements in football very much, but I will never be afraid. I look forward to tomorrow. We will definitely let the world see a tenacious and unyielding Argentina!"

Faced with such an opponent, the head coach of the Chinese team Gao Hongbo also expressed his attitude:

"We are on the stage of a World Cup final for the first time, we have no experience in this field, but we have one of the strongest players in the history of football, and we have the most united group of players, we have no reason to lose.

15 billion Chinese are waiting for the first Hercules Cup, and we will never let them down! "

The Chinese captain Long Shute told the world in a more determined tone:

"Since I became a professional player, I have never won a runner-up!"
