Green Destroyer

Chapter 145

"The Chinese team is a very strong team, but if someone told me a year ago that they would be the favorites to win the World Cup, I would have laughed like a fool."

On June 6, at the press conference before the game, Iceland coach Hemil Halgrimsson frankly admitted:

"For decades, we've had a misconception that no matter how good a player is, he can't bring a fundamental leap to a team.

But look at today's football, right?
Because of Ronaldo's outstanding performance, Portugal has maintained a strong competitiveness for many years.

Egypt, which has never participated in the World Cup for more than 30 years, also entered the top stage for the first time because of Salah's existence.

As for the Chinese team..."

He shrugged:

"At the end of 2016, they were still ranked 96th in the world!
But now?They have come to the 13th position! "

He glanced at Chen Hao who was sitting three meters away:

"The reason why we have wrong ideas is because in the 150-year history of football, there has never been such a strong player! Although he is only 20 years old, I can already be sure that he is the birth of football. The most unique ruler ever!"
-
It is said that cannibals have short mouths and short hands, and no one will feel unhappy when they are so praised by their opponents.

Chen Hao is no exception, he showed a faint smile:

"Thank you for Mr. Hallgrimsson's compliment. Although I'm telling the truth, I'm still a little shy, hahaha..."

Halgrimsson had a complimenting smile on his face, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes in secret:

I would rather believe that our Icelandic sows can climb trees than you, Chen Ritian, will feel shy!

Chinese reporter Yang Yiming stood up worried:

"I know my question may disappoint you, Director Chen, but... have you ever considered that this is the Icelandic team trying to show weakness and deliberately paralyze us?"

He said it a little cautiously, because after three peak seasons, the young man who could not even play in the first team in Ligue [-] has already become the supreme ruler of the football world.

From Yang Yiming's point of view, no matter who it is, a person who has reached this level has already swelled to the point of exploding, and he can't listen to any bad advice at all!
Sure enough, Chen Hao waved his hand impatiently:
"Paralysis? I'm sorry, even if I let Iceland have a leg, they can't win me!"

Yang Yiming gritted his teeth and sat down.

Chen Ritian, if you are still so arrogant, you will capsize in the gutter sooner or later!
Even if they can defeat Iceland, on the way forward for the Chinese team, there are still teams that are ten or a hundred times stronger than Iceland! -
On June 6, the careless Chen Hao ushered in his second opponent in the group stage, Iceland.

Head coach, Hal Grimsson, part-time, country dentist.

The main goalkeeper, Halldosson, a producer and director, only completed his transition from a semi-professional player at the age of 28.

Central defender, Odnason, is currently studying for a master's degree in business management at Adelphi University in the United States.

Defender, Savalsson, 34 years old, saltworks worker.

Right winger, Gwiz Monzon, CSgo professional player, reluctantly gave up his e-sports career in order to represent the national team...

This somewhat complex Icelandic team is facing an equally complex Chinese team:
There are 8 former special forces + 3 professional players, and a head coach who has just turned 20 is standing on the sidelines.

That's right, Chen Hao hid himself once again, allowing his teammates to be tempered again.

He can be "paralyzed", but those soldiers who have received the most rigorous training will not underestimate the enemy!

Of course, they have just played five official games... and they are not qualified to underestimate the enemy!

There are indeed semi-professional players in the Iceland team, but there is also no lack of players in the Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga with a transfer fee of tens of millions of euros!
Especially their striker, Hildesson, who moved to Everton for £4500 million and is nicknamed "Iceland Sniper"!

The number one striker in Iceland really lived up to his reputation as a great sniper. In the 23rd minute, he blasted away the gate guarded by Chinese goalkeeper 1 with a simple and rude free kick!
"Ahu, Ahu, Ahu!!!"

The chilling Viking battle cry sounded throughout the stadium!
Iceland, with a population of only 33, sent 1.5 fans to accompany the team!

They raised their arms high, clapped their hands vigorously, and used applause to boost the roar even louder!
At this moment, their roar even made Chen Hao, who was sitting on the sidelines, feel chills!

It is indeed unimaginable that a small country with a population even smaller than that of a county in China can cultivate a football team that is in the top eight of the European Cup and the top 32 of the World Cup!
Chen Hao lowered his proud head in shame.

He shouldn't underestimate this opponent.

He shouldn't think that this team mixed with semi-professional players...is the most suitable opponent for the team to hone its tactics and lineup!
He unzipped his jacket and took off his clothes.

He wants to show respect to this great opponent!
-
"We don't want any bullshit respect!"

Iceland coach Halgrimsson hugged him angrily!
"You are the greatest superstar in the history of football, how can you bully the weak and bully an amateur team like this?!"

Chen Hao understood his English, so he had to temporarily give up the warm-up plan:

"Are you really a dentist?"

"Yes, there are only two doctors in our village, and I am one of them. In order to coach the national team, I have to temporarily give up my fellow villagers..."

The two of them even stumbled and chatted in English.

Halgrimsson suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed to Chen Hao's right face and asked:
"I see that your face is a little swollen, is it a toothache? Open your mouth!"

"what……"

"Oh my god, this wisdom tooth is old and crooked, and it will ruin your handsome face after a long time. It needs to be pulled out immediately. Wait a minute, I'll give you anesthesia!"

The team doctor of the Chinese team stepped between them:

"Director Chen, you won't be able to participate in the competition if you take anesthesia!"

Hallgrimsson put down the anesthetic in his hand, and smiled mischievously:
"Mamaipai, have you found out?!"
-
When the dentist on the sidelines racked his brains to extract Chen Hao's tooth, the situation on the field changed.

The Chinese team played one of the few tacit cooperation. Zheng Zhi used a through ball to tear the Iceland team's defense line. Wu Lei accelerated and overtook the 34-year-old saltworks worker forcibly, facing the goalkeeper with a strong kick. Door!
Although the winner of the Chinese Super League Golden Boot has often been weak in the national team, this time he finally got lucky. This strong shot, even though it was thrown by the MV director's goalkeeper, still bounced into the goal!
Wu Lei was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he reacted:

What are you doing in a daze?
Cry for me!

His eye sockets were instantly moist!
This is the 19th goal of the Chinese team in the World Cup stage!
It was his first goal in the World Cup!

More importantly...he broke the national team coach's 80-minute monopoly on goals!
How can I not burst into tears? !
