Chapter 475 The "Bright Light" of Football Betting

As a pure spectator in front of the TV or computer screen before, Li Mudi, like other ordinary fans, often complained about some commentators and guests in China. It's good to turn it off.

When he was young, the Chinese sports commentators were still in the "all-round" era, football, basketball, volleyball... as long as it was a game broadcast by CCTV, Song Shixiong's voice could almost be heard.After that, his apprentices Han Qiaosheng and Sun Zhengping perfectly took over the mantle of the teacher and evolved it, carrying forward the high-speed stream of consciousness explanation mode.

It wasn't until Huang Jianxiang, Liu Jianhong and Zhang Bin, a group of football journalists born in the late 60s who were born in the late [-]s, entered CCTV that the Chinese football commentary industry was on the road of regular development.It was under their influence that Duan Xuan, He Wei, Shen Fangjian and other younger generations who joined CCTV commentary positions also grew up according to the path of one specialty and many abilities. Although it is inevitable that they will also talk about other sports, but for football Is always maintained a sufficient professional attitude.

Around the turn of the millennium, as the funds and resources owned by local stations became more and more abundant, football commentators who were only influential in some areas before, such as Zhan Jun and Su Dong, were gradually recognized by the whole country. The people are well known, and this industry has finally ushered in a good situation where a hundred flowers are blooming.

Commenting on football games is somewhat similar to talking about cross talk, that is, "stand-alone" is too difficult, and it is not easy to talk well. "Counterpart" is the easiest way to be accepted by fans. There is often a guest (in some cases, there will be two or more) by your side.

In this regard, the two teachers Zhang Lu and Tao Wei are the most familiar names to everyone. They have accompanied countless fans through late weekends one after another. They are the most familiar and favorite commentators for domestic football fans. .After that, Xu Yang, Gong Lei and other professional guests were all selected as the new generation of "popular fans" according to the successful model of Zhang Tao and Zhang Tao, and they were quite popular among the audience.

However, due to the large-scale entry of entertainment elements into the sports circle, many local stations began to engage in "crazy ways" in pursuit of ratings. They often invited stars in the entertainment industry who liked or even claimed to be good at football to join the commentary team, although they attracted many. The attention of fans, but it also brought the originally extremely professional work of commentary to the direction of "entertainment for all", which was resisted by many real fans.

In their eyes, even the things explained by many professionals are not very popular, let alone these "little fresh meat" who can't even tell whether they are offside.It's disgusting to hear them say nonsense, and almost every fan feels at one point or another that they look a thousand times better than they say, don't they?Li Moody is naturally no exception. It was only when he actually sat on the commentary booth that he felt the difficulty of this job, which fully embodies the essence of the famous saying "You can you up, no can no bb".

For the Turin coach personally, there are three of his favorite domestic commentators, Huang, Zhan, and He.The common feature of these three people is that they have a very deep and solid grasp of football professional knowledge. No matter what kind of situation they face, they will not let the game out of their control. In addition to these advantages of being systematic and systematic, they each have their own characteristics.For example, Huang's infinite passion, Zhan's off-site information disclosure and ridicule, and He's strong poetic atmosphere are all nirvana that can catch the audience's ears.

As for the guests, Li Modi admired Zhang Lu's guidance the most.As mentioned several times before, as a senior fan, he has been listening to the Serie A commentary of Huang Zhang, the golden partner, since the mid-90s, and has gone through his student career.So when he was first invited to commentate the game, Li Modi involuntarily wanted to follow the path guided by Zhang, but he couldn't find a suitable insertion point, and more importantly, he couldn't say "hehe" just right , so the effect presented is not very ideal.

Fortunately, Poet He also knows that those who give their voices on the TV screen for the first time will inevitably make some appearances in the live broadcast, so he has been privately encouraging the Turin coach to calm down, as long as he does not say too much , he can try his best to give Yuan back.In this way, as the game progressed, Li Moody finally found some form, and finished commenting the opening match smoothly.

Regarding the two teams that played in this game, the Turin coach is really not very familiar with it. Even if he did some homework in advance, he didn't gain much.The host, Russia, is a little better. After all, many players in the team play for the strong teams in the Russian League, and they have played records in European competitions. I still have some impressions.As for Saudi Arabia, it has not been paying attention to the Asian football circle for more than ten years. They are very unfamiliar with their players and can only rely on the FM system in their brains to cheat.

In order to avoid unnecessary mistakes, during the commentary process, he has been focusing on analyzing the tactical intentions of both sides, trying not to touch aspects involving the background of the players.And He Wei played the role of checking for gaps and filling in gaps, giving his new partner strong support.

During the game, He and Li just chatted briefly about winger Denis Cheryshev, who has played brilliantly as a substitute, and midfielder Alexander Golovin, who just turned 22, when the situation was relatively stable.The former is a disciple that Li Moody had mentored when he was working in the Real Madrid youth team, and the latter is currently the most popular fried chicken in European football. Juventus and other giants intend to recruit him.

After telling a few interesting things about Cheryshev many years ago, the Turin coach, under He Wei's questioning, expressed that he had really thought about introducing Golovin, but Luohua was intentional and ruthless, and he was more fundamental. I just looked down on the new European League champions, so I teased myself a little.

And because of the brave performance of the Russian players, the final score of 5-0 made the content of the whole game very rich, and there was more room to play. It also indirectly helped Li Moody's commentary debut. The fans' evaluation of his performance this time.

However, there were quite a few people who expressed dislike for his commentary after the game, especially for the Torino coach who expressed his concern for the future development prospects of Chinese football by comparing the strength of the two teams and their rankings in their respective continents after the game The worry caused many fans who regarded themselves as Patriots to seize a good meal of anger.

Fortunately, Li Mudi knew that he was not a soft girl and could not be loved by others, so he decided long ago not to pay attention to outside comments.He agreed to CCTV's invitation this time. Apart from not wanting to refute the face of this highly influential media platform in China, he also hopes to have a close contact with the World Cup. After all, he watched the 1986 World Cup video from his childhood. At the beginning, for more than 30 years, I just sat in front of the TV and watched how those teams overcome all obstacles and finally reached the top. I always had a dream in my heart to participate in it myself.Considering the level of the national football team, it is the best choice for him to become a guest commentator who is unwilling to go to the troubled waters.

Of course, the most important thing is that due to the impact of the World Cup, the opening time of the team training camp for the new season will be delayed by a week compared to last year. Under such circumstances, if you can't find anything serious to do for a while, why not come and enjoy the treatment of watching the world's top football matches live for free.

After commenting on the slightly unexpected opening game, and resting in a local hotel in Moscow for one night, he needs to go to St. Petersburg on the third match day to comment on the focus of the first round of the group stage - Li Moody, who played against Portugal and Spain , before leaving Moscow, he participated in a special column on the World Cup of CCTV Sports Channel.

During the period, under the questioning of the host, the Turin coach reluctantly gave his own predictions for some important games in the first round of the group stage.If the civil war on the Iberian Peninsula ended with a small victory for the Matador Legion, the five favorites to win the championship, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France and England, will all be stable in their first battle.

As a result, it was from the beginning of this program that Li Moody was gone forever on the road of football betting "light". After that, he made predictions about the upcoming games in public many times, and the success rate was less than [-]% , became the object of ridicule by Chinese fans.

Later, someone showed evidence that he bought lottery tickets in reverse according to the prediction provided by the Turin coach. If the prediction was 3, he would buy 1 and 0, and he made a small profit.With the speed of riding a rocket, the incident quickly reached the forefront of the Internet hot search, and became one of the most well-known memes in the football circle in the next half month. Compare attributes.

Let’s bring the topic back to the Portugal-Spain battle on June 6th. Li Modi’s partner for this game is his old acquaintance Zhu Xiaoyu from CCTV. The venue is the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, which was built for the 15 Winter Olympics. , The law enforcement referee is the famous Serie A post Gianluca Rocchi.Looking at the many familiar faces in the two teams, as well as the referee on the field who brought painful memories to his team many times, the Turin coach couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is all fate!

During the preparation process before the game, Li Mudi once again expressed his support for his second motherland. Although he believes that Ronaldo's ability to be the top two in the world is beyond doubt, it is very difficult for the Portuguese team to face Germany with his performance alone. The goal guarded by Geja created too much threat.When facing a team with strong pass control ability, his teammates have not fully proved that they can provide enough support for the team captain.

Just at the beginning of the game, the European Cup champions two years ago overturned Li Moody's prediction. They actually took the initiative to control the ball and pushed Spain's three lines back through a wide range of back and forth in the midfield. halftime.

Ronaldo was also very excited after the kick-off. After the club experienced a long period of downturn, he gradually recovered his peak feeling in the middle and late seasons of the season and brought him back to the national team.It can be clearly seen that in the first few minutes of the game, his running range expanded very large. Not only did he frequently attack his club teammate Nacho on the left side he was accustomed to, but he often went up to the front line to fight against Gerde. As an offensive fulcrum together, help the team's midfielder to obtain more room for movement outside the penalty area.What's even more rare is that the president will also actively participate in the counter-attack, which has made Portugal's overall frontcourt pressing tactics achieve very good results.

Under his active running and ingenious connection, the group seed team, which was not favored by the outside world before the game, firmly suppressed their opponents with amazing momentum and quickly scored goals.The president's breakthrough created Nacho's foul in the penalty area. He personally took the penalty and easily deceived De Gea to help the team take the lead.

After the score was rewritten, Spain just entered the game state as if it had just entered the game. It took advantage of its players' pass control ability to start to control the ball. Find the right infiltration space.Although Silva and Isco both got the chance to kick the goal, Portugal's two counterattacks were even more deadly, especially in the No. 201 minute, Ronaldo crossed from the left to the penalty area, Guedes When you get an excellent opportunity to face the opponent's goalkeeper one-on-one, but because of unnecessary stop adjustments, you are destroyed by the returning defender, otherwise the suspense of the game may end.

Portugal's style of play at this stage was very similar to the tactics often used by the Torino team. It also allowed Li Moody, who had just been hit in the face by the penalty kick, to find an opportunity to show off a wave of professional analysis ability and avoid the previous embarrassment.

It’s just that the progress of the game later deviated from his prediction. First, Costa used his personal ability with foul doubts to help Spain get back a goal, which made the guests who had been analyzing how important pass control ability is to the game frown.Afterwards, De Gea made an unforgivable mistake when responding to Ronaldo's unthreatening long-range shot, and severely slapped the Turin coach who had just evaluated him as the best goalkeeper in the world today.

In the second half, after Costa scored twice and Nacho Tieshu's world wave long-range shot helped the Matador Corps overtake the score, Li Mudi saw that the situation on the court had been controlled by the Spanish team, and finally it was near the end of the game At that time, I made a summary of the game, and took out what Ronaldo said before the game, no matter how good he is, he can't beat a strong team.

However, as if the president had heard the order from the heavens to swell the face of the Turin coach completely, he fixed the score at 3-3 with a wonderful direct free kick, leaving only the man who had begun to doubt his life. Li Mudi sat alone in the commentary seat in the stands, not knowing what to say.

After the game, some fans published an article in the forum, proving that the Turin coach is actually blind, which aroused the laughter of the majority of people who eat melons. A different kind of joy.
