Chapter 615 [The Prophet] Brother Octopus Paul [First update]

Portugal's defeat marked the top 2010 of the 8 World Cup in South Africa. It also meant that C-Ronaldo, one of the "Four Great Kings" of the new generation of football, will have to bid farewell to the World Cup.For the Portuguese superstar, such a result is so cruel. So far, apart from himself, the other "three kings" Juan Mata, Kaka and Messi still stay in South Africa.

On July 7th, the whole world knew the names of the top eight of the 4 World Cup in South Africa, and the situation of the next quarter-final match also happened immediately when the whistle sounded at the end of the last eighth-final match——

[Oranje] Netherlands VS [Samba] Brazil! !
South American powerhouse Uruguay VS [Three Lions] England! !

[Blue and White Legion] Argentina VS [Germanic Chariot] German team! !
[Matador Legion] Spain VS Paraguay, a traditional South American team! !
According to the schedule, there will be a one-day truce on July 7, and the semi-finals will officially start on July 5. The match between the Netherlands and Brazil will be held on the same day. From the 7th to the 6th, there will be games every day.

After the match list was clear, the major European media began to re-evaluate the fate of each team impatiently——

In the first duel, Marshal Dunga's [Samba Legion] showed a dominant level in the previous games. From the group stage to the quarter-finals, the state of each game remained quite stable. Eighteen well-known European sports media, including Spain's "Aspen", Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport", Germany's "Bild" and "Kicker", were more optimistic about Brazil's ability to beat the Netherlands to get a place in the top four.

In the second game, the strength of the England team was obviously much stronger than that of the Uruguay team.The Three Lions drove low and went high. The performance in the first two games of the group stage was mediocre, but since the third game, they have maintained a momentum of destruction.Uruguay want to upset, can only hope that their striker Shuangsha Diego - Forlan and Luis - Suarez can perform exceptionally.In addition, the Uruguayan media also dug up an old story to cheer for the land-during the 09 qualifiers, Madman Li once predicted that the Uruguayan team would be able to score in the top 4, which is good news for them.Because at least for now there is no direct evidence that Crazy Lee's mouth has the same power as the Brazilian football king Pele.

The third game between Argentina and Germany was the most hesitant game for many [Prophet Kings]. If there were not so many accidents, if the [Blue and White Legion] coach Crazy Li could still stand on the sidelines and direct the game... Then, perhaps most fans and the media would vote for the Argentine team, but a red card in the quarter-finals instantly made the future of the Pampas Eagles uncertain.

For the Argentine team, there is one more bad thing happened——

Since the start of the World Cup in South Africa, the magical octopus Paul, who has predicted a 100% victory rate, predicted that the German team will win this confrontation.Considering the unpredictable power of Brother Octopus before, the occurrence of this incident directly affected the judgment of the media and fans. Even the major sports betting companies in the world readjusted their winning odds after Paul Octopus made a prediction.

In the last game between Spain and Paraguay, there was not much suspense. Many people chose to support [Matador Legion]. This team, which Zidane said "represents the current direction of football development", has maintained an absolutely stable state since its failure in the first game.

A well-known sports betting company in the European group——BWIN’s ranking of winning odds finalized by the company also represents the degree of optimism of most media, fans, football experts and senior celebrities in the world football world about the future of each team——

Brazil ranks first with odds of 2.30.

The Spanish team ranked second with odds of 5.00.

England ranked third with odds of 7.50.

The German team ranked fourth with odds of 8.00.

Argentina ranked fifth with odds of 10.00.

HPC Sports Center.

Argentina is playing an intra-team match.

sidelines.

The first-team acting head coach Maradona's face is getting more and more serious.Beside him, the expressions on the faces of Li Bing, Redondo, Kempes, and Veron were also full of disbelief and solemnity...

A match is going on on the training ground.

The two sides of the game are Maradona and other members of the seven-man coaching staff and the Argentine senior team, while the other side is Li Tongfan and the under-21 youth team.

This is a closed team confrontation.

An hour ago, when Li Tongfan proposed this proposal with a smile, almost everyone thought that there would be absolutely no problem for the senior team to win a victory. After all, the strength and physical gap between the two sides was too great... However, when the game lasted to nearly 60 minutes, the reality turned out to be a blow to the confident Maradona——

The senior team drew with the under-3 youth team 3:21.

Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and made timely tactical adjustments and formation changes, allowing the youth team under the age of 21 to almost completely restrain the big-name stars of the adult team. If the strength of the two sides is indeed too far apart, the little guys may have taken the lead now.

Such a result made Maradona feel so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, feeling aggrieved that he was full of strength but didn't go out.

The same is true for several other coaches.

Everything that is happening on the training ground is extremely strange——

The tactics of the adult team did not make obvious mistakes, the offense was very sharp, and the players were in very good condition... However, the tactical changes of the youth team under the age of 21 were always able to predict and restrain them one step in advance, and the actual effect of the offensive organized by the stars of the adult team was often greatly reduced.And when the youth team is attacking, they can always catch the defense flaws of the adult team in an instant, with a high success rate!
Li Tongfan has been standing on the sidelines, shouting and directing the offensive and defensive rhythm of the youth team under the age of 21. Without the shouts and boos of thousands of fans, and without the overwhelming "wow zula" loud volume, his voice can be heard clearly and closely to the ears of every youth team player under the age of 21, which makes him feel quite handy in commanding.

And thanks to the personal command of the idol Madman Li, the players of the youth team played very excitedly and played [-]% of their strength. All of them wanted to impress this [the godfather of youth players], hoping to win Li Tongfan's favor and win an opportunity for future career advancement.

This training match will be conducted according to the time and format of the official match.

After 90 minutes, the youth team and the senior team had a 5:5 tie. If it weren't for [Barcelona King] Messi's stunning dribble and goal at the last minute, the senior team might even be in danger of losing.

After the match, Li Tongfan laughed and gave high-fives to the players of the youth team, then looked at Maradona and others with a smile, turned around and walked away, went straight out of the gate of the HPC Sports Center, got into the car and went to nowhere.

The sweaty players disbanded and went back to take a shower and change clothes.

Maradona and the others stayed on the sidelines of the training field with ugly faces.

The 7 people didn't know what to say for a while. At this moment, they finally realized that the reason why Crazy Li wanted to conduct such a training match today was not to train players or practice tactics, but to test the commanding ability of the 7 of them in the game.

This is a passing exam, but from the results, they didn't pass!

For the first time, several people realized that a head coach's ability to decide the game can be brought into full play!Li Tongfan's yelling still resounded in their ears over and over again at this moment, with endless lingering lingering sounds.

This game has brought them too much shock.

Before that, they were colleagues with Li Tongfan, standing in front of the same command seat with him, watching the Argentine team sweep every opponent like chopping melons and vegetables, and seeing the opponent's face turn white, gray and black, they took it for granted that it was so easy to win... But it was only at this moment that they felt for the first time how terrifying it was to be an opponent with a guy like Madman Li. The opponents feel as if they are dying and unable to struggle!
A feeling of a lifetime.

Marshal Ma opened his mouth again and again, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. He waved to his partner Lu Wei, turned around and left, his expression full of frustration...

The remaining six people look at me and I look at you, and their faces are also not very good-looking.

The blow that Li Tongfan gave them was too great. If an excellent coach is enough to narrow the gap in strength to such an exaggerated level, then in the quarter-finals of July 7, what kind of insurmountable difficulties will the Argentine team encounter when facing an experienced opponent like 【Master Tactician】Loew?
You must know that although Loew's ability is not as exaggerated as Madman Li, the strength of the German team is stronger than that of the Argentine under-21 youth team. I don't know how many times!
Several people shook their heads and left the training ground full of thoughts.

Assistant coach Li Bing looked at the back of Maradona with a little worry, fearing that the former confident football champion would be depressed after being hit...

……

……

Li Tongfan arrived at Johannesburg International Airport in South Africa two hours later.

The flight from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, to South Africa also arrived here at the same time. The huge silver-white plane stopped at the terminal, and a group of children aged [-], [-], and [-] came out of the passenger passage excitedly with curious expressions.

Walking in the front and leading the children is Li Tongfan's most loyal assistant - [dog-headed military division] Tolosi-Tang.He saw Li Tongfan standing at the airport pick-up gate from a long distance, waved vigorously, and with the assistance of the accompanying staff, he brought the children to the front soon.

"Hey Don, nice to meet you!"

Tolosi-Tang stretched out his hand to shake Li Tongfan's hand, who knew that Lao Li gave him a warm bear hug, and then winked his eyes: "Let's talk in the car!"

10 minutes later.

A group of people boarded the bus that had been arranged long ago and drove slowly towards the city of Pretoria.
