Chapter 58

In the opening game of the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the meacha stadium was full of 80065 seats. As the referee whistled, the audience broke out earth shaking waves when they were seated.

In addition to a large number of Argentines and Cameroonians, many fans from all over the world, such as Guo Lingfeng and Chen Xiaodao sitting in the first-class area.

Chen Xiaodao is most optimistic about Argentina. He is very depressed. Chen Xiaodao bought all the initial gambling money for Cameroon, which made him unhappy to see that Argentina had the upper hand at the beginning. For fear that Argentina would score a goal suddenly, they would be completely cool.

Fortunately, although Argentina had the upper hand, they never scored. Maradona's second pass created several shooting opportunities in the restricted area, but their striker didn't seize the opportunity to score. Cameroon's defense was very fierce. They were blown a lot of fouls and received several yellow cards. Until the end of the first half, Cameroon launched a counterattack and created a very threatening shot, but this shot was saved by Argentina's goalkeeper Pompido, which frightened the Argentine fans.

Argentina won the world cup in 1986. This time, they participated as the defending champion. Moreover, they have stars such as Maradona, the king of the ball, and kanijia, the son of the wind. They are the favorite to win the world cup.

Although Cameroon is known as the "African lion", they are only the second time to reach the World Cup finals. There are no stars in the team. The most famous uncle Mira is 40 years old and should not be able to beat Argentina.

But "football is round". The Cameroonian makes it very difficult for Maradona to control the ball every time with fierce fighting and brown sugar close defense, and other players of Argentina are also embarrassed. At the end of the first half, neither team scored.

The scene in the second half was similar to that in the first half. Argentina still had the upper hand, but could not seize the opportunity to score. In the 60th minute of the game, Cameroonian team member No. 2 put kanijia down from behind and was sent off by the referee with a red card. The situation was immediately much better for Argentina.

"I'm sorry! It's terrible!" Chen Xiaodao, who is also an old fan, couldn't help but burst into a foul language, "ah Feng, it's over! The Cameroon team couldn't win, and another person was sent off. It's bound to lose?"

"Don't worry, take your time!" Guo Lingfeng was very calm. In this game, Cameroon was sent off by more than one person. It was a miracle that they won Argentina nine to eleven.

Chen Xiaodao was so angry that he clenched his fists. If he didn't think he couldn't beat Guo Lingfeng, I'm afraid he would have gone up and punched him.

In the 65th minute, Cameroon won the free kick in the front court, and striker obiek headed the goal in the restricted area. Pompido, who made great achievements in the first half, made a low-level mistake this time. He threw the ball away and saw the ball slowly roll into the goal. Cameroon took the lead 1-0.

Chen Xiaodao was overjoyed and shouted with Guo Lingfeng in his arms: "we scored, we scored!..."

Fortunately, they are all Cameroon fans in this area. If they are in the crowd of Argentine fans, they will be beaten by angry Argentine fans, right?

Later in the game, Argentina strengthened the offensive, but Cameroon's defensive action was more ferocious than in the first half. The referee called the penalty again and again, and they still spared no effort to foul the Argentine players. At the 88th minute of the game, Cameroon defender Maxin put down Maradona again, received a second yellow card and was sent off by a red card. There were only nine people left on the field.

However, there was no time for a few minutes. Cameroon insisted until the final whistle sounded, and the whole audience was boiling. Cameroon created a miracle. They beat defending champion Argentina in the opening game of this world cup.

Chen Xiaodao danced with joy. He completely forgot his depression before the game. They won the ball and won $420000 in addition to the cost!

After returning to the hotel, Chen Xiaodao still couldn't restrain his excitement. He directly called a bottle of 82 year "Raffi" to celebrate their successful gambling.

Guo Lingfeng hasn't drunk the legend of the red wine industry. He curiously took a cup and tasted it. He thought it tasted really good, but it wasn't as good as the legend. Some of it didn't live up to the name.

Chen Xiaodao said with a smile: "ah Feng, such a cold door has been won by you. It's really yours!"

Guo Lingfeng said with a smile: "it's just luck! We still have to analyze the later games. It's not always popular!"

Chen Xiaodao nodded in agreement. An occasional upset will excite the fans, but it's not cool to often come to an upset. The traditional strong teams always lose. What do you want the fans to see? Look at the unknown players in the weak team? Of course, fans prefer to watch the performances of stars, and the strength of traditional strong teams is indeed stronger.

The next day's game proved this.

The host team defeated Austria 1-0, Romania 2-0, and Colombia 2-0.

These three games were not popular. Guo Lingfeng dispersed their bets through analysis and won some more.

The group matches are played one after another. Guo Lingfeng and others go to the scene to watch the Games in Milan. Of course, gambling is the most important.

On June 10, the Czech team beat the United States 5-1. Guo Lingfeng bought the ball and won. However, Guo Lingfeng couldn't remember the score. He didn't dare to fight bigger and won a lot of money less.

At the end of the group match on June 21, Guo Lingfeng's gambling funds also accumulated to US $18.433 million. There were 36 group games in total. On average, they won more than 510000 in each game, and their record was fairly good.

Of course, they didn't win every game. For example, in the third round of the group match, Russia played Cameroon. They really didn't expect that Cameroon had qualified in the group after winning two games in a row. The last game was a serious drain, and the result was a 4-0 defeat to Russia. In addition, Sweden lost 2-1 to Costa Rica, which was beyond their expectation and decisively lost money.

At the knockout stage, Guo Lingfeng remembered more games. He decided to increase the size.

In the eighth finals, Guo Lingfeng won the first two games. Especially in Cameroon's 2-1 victory over Colombia, they had a fierce dispute again, but Guo Lingfeng proved himself right again and won a lot of money.

The next is the highlight of Argentina's game against Brazil. Guo Lingfeng was very impressed because Brazil had 19 shots in the whole game and didn't score a goal, while Argentina scored only once.

The goal was very wonderful. Maradona made a long pass in the backcourt. After receiving the pass, kanijia, the son of the wind, completed the goal and eliminated Brazil.
