----------
The winter break is coming soon, and on everyone's mind, there is only one last game left in the first half of the season, which will be on December 22nd. Juventus will be a guest against Cagliari. Lyari is now in the relegation zone, ranked third from the bottom, and the relegation situation is very critical.
As agreed, Chenlong will go to Major League Baseball the day after the game for two Super Bowl finals, but Chenlong still has a lot of things to do before that, the first of which is his physical recuperation.
During the rare week of relaxation and cultivation, Chen Long spent all of it on his body. The great news he received from Ye Xun made him become enthusiastic about his body again recently. Not only did he strengthen the use of medicine for his body, but he also equipped it with Get the medicines you need during your trip to the Major Leagues.
In addition, before leaving, I also took a trip to the Alps. Although the university has been closed down, the construction period is still in full swing. Three infrastructure buildings have been built and the interior decoration is now being carried out. This coincides with The cold winter is here.
In the middle of the week, Conti called Chenlong into the office.
In this cold weather, the old fox still wants to call himself over to study the weekend tactics. There is no need at all. If the league is third from the bottom and still wants to study the so-called tactics, then this half of the season has been in vain. Could it be because it has been a long time? Because he returned to the coaching bench, he excitedly called himself over.
Obviously Conte was not as idiotic as Chen Long thought, "This is the last game, we must lose." Conte's tone was calm.
"What do you mean? If you want to lose, you will lose if you don't fight." Chenlong thought he heard wrongly. When did Conti become a living god
"I said that in the game against Cagliari, we only need to lose, not win!"
Oh, this is about betting on the ball. It was the first time Chen Long heard that Conte wanted to sell the ball, and he was selling a losing ball. Chen Long was a little confused, "Didn't you say that Juventus doesn't bet on losing games!"
It stands to reason that Conte's face should be full of pain, but Conte was chatting and laughing like this, and it didn't look like he had any difficulties: "This time is different, it was the bookmaker who made us lose, and Cagliari also wanted to buy. We lose, it’s not a contradiction!”
Indeed, this is the time to sell a game, it is innocuous, and it happens to be a good time to kill everyone, crying for father and mother. Just imagine the last round of the league, Juventus could have been undefeated for 58 rounds, and it was The leader of the league played against the third-last player in the league, and lost. Well... Chen Long didn't dare to think about it anymore. He didn't know how many people would die in this game on that windy and snowy night.
"It's useless for you to come after me. You are the coach and you make the decision. Could it be that you want me to be the scapegoat?" Chenlong suddenly became vigilant and realized that Conte seemed to have some conspiracy.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you do this. I just want to agree with you. Don't just mess around with a few goals by yourself when the time comes, and the game will be in vain!"
"Aren't you? It would be great if I didn't play in this game. If I play abnormally, the newspapers wouldn't know what to say the next day. It's obvious match-fixing, so I just don't play. I'll find some excuse, I have a cold. In short, I just can't get on. "In this situation, I just don't get on. If I do it myself, my reputation after half a season will be wiped out. I just don't want to get into this muddy water, Chen Long thought honestly.
"Well, that makes sense. Why don't you go to the United States one day in advance? By the way, you're infected with the wind and cold, so it's easier to justify." After being reminded by Chen Longyi, Conti also realized this problem and quickly corrected it and put forward his own new idea. .
Anti-counterfeiting also requires quality, so as not to be caught. Match-fixing can happen at any time, but the key is not to let others see it.
"How much will we get after this game?" Chenlong didn't hesitate and asked Conti straight to the point.
Conti was able to call Chen Long here, so naturally he would not treat Chen Long as an outsider, so he told the truth and held out five fingers.
"Half a million dollars is not bad." Chen Long thought of how when he was playing basketball, the maximum bet amount in a game was five thousand dollars. This time, half a million dollars made his heart pound.
"Look at your virtue, haven't you seen money? Half a million can allow the entire Juventus team to match-fix, just like throwing it to a second-division team." Conte looked at Chenlong like a village elder, not thinking about the football businessman. Chen Long, who is so tall, has such a low gambling quotient. I really wonder if the kid in front of him is someone he is familiar with.
"Five million!! This... is so high that I can't imagine it. I can't accept it..." Chenlong was shocked by Conti's words. Five million, so each person should get 200,000. Although I am not short of money now, I still have several weeks' salary.
"You can go back to the village in Sicily. Five million is equivalent to the amount given by Cagliari. You are too underestimated by the gambling group. You can kill them in this game." At least one billion." Conti felt that it was necessary to give Chen Long a lesson on this aspect. He is just a young melon.
After listening to Conti's words, Chenlong completely understood what he meant. It was not half a million, nor five million, but fifty million. Of course, such a major matter was not decided by Conti. , Fifty million, what is that concept? The boss of Juventus is probably going to take action, and it accounts for the majority. It is estimated that Juventus players can only get one-tenth of the total from it, which is good.
Before the professional leagues were played, I heard that professional teams often sold balls. Sometimes one game could earn back the profits for the entire season. Any advertising sponsorships were just a cloud, and the income from selling balls was the king. , it seems to be true at all. If a team sells one-third of its games in a season, he can no longer imagine how much money it will earn in a year.
The painful result is still for the fans, and Juventus may have lost its 58-game unbeaten streak, but other than that, there really isn't anything bad about it.
The less we know about this kind of thing, the better. After Chen Long listened to Conti's brief conversation, he stood up and left. He was going home to prepare for a failed escape.
On Saturday morning, Chen Long had already dragged his bags on the plane to Los Angeles, USA. Before the team's game the next day, he had already checked into the Beverly Hills Villa in Los Angeles.
The Juventus team, under heavy snowfall, finally suffered a defeat in the away game with a score of 1.2, and the 57-game unbeaten record in the league came to an end. As early as Thursday morning, Conte announced the news that Chen Long had a cold, and It was announced that Chenlong would fly to Los Angeles in the United States on Saturday, and various preparations had been made in advance.
At the post-match press conference, Conte angrily scolded his players at the on-site press conference, and then blamed the defeat on the bad weather and Chen Long's absence. Failure is completely a natural disaster without any warning...
Chen Long watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV and scolded Conte in his heart for being cunning and cunning. He could go to Hollywood with him to bring an actor back to Italy.
But in the end, Chenlong discovered that after Juventus lost this game, the league points were once again tied with Inter Milan. After fighting for half a season, the result was still on the same starting line with Inter Milan. This somewhat made him Somewhat depressing, this also indicates that when the second half of the season begins, the team still has to work hard to continue fighting against Inter Milan.
There is no doubt that Cagliari won a precious three points, and the bookmaker also made a lot of ill-gotten gains, but those fans who bought Juventus to win will have to live a jealous life. Depressing Christmas...
The weather in the United States is not as cold as in Italy. The environment in Los Angeles is much better than that in Italy. At least the weather is sunny after the heavy snow. But the same thing is that Christmas is coming, and the streets are filled with colorful lights and joyful people. Christmas tree, a lively festive atmosphere.
Canaris did not come with Chen Long and spent Christmas abroad for the first time, which made Chen Long feel a little lonely.
On the night he stayed at the hotel, Beckham received Chen Long on behalf of the Los Angeles Galaxy, and then had dinner with the club president.
At the press conference the next day, Chen Long also showed the media the No. 77 jersey he will wear the day after tomorrow. Although it is only for two games, he is joining the Los Angeles Galaxy on a temporary basis after all, so the necessary work still needs to be done. of.
There has never been such a short-lived football temporary worker in the history of football, and at this time Chen Long performed such an absurd legend.
On the eve of the eve, the Beckham family invited Chen Long to attend their dinner. Chen Long was deeply surprised. This time he did not dare to be careless. He heard that the Beckhams said that there would be celebrities such as Tom Cruise and his wife at the dinner. He He quickly asked the hotel to order an evening dress so that he wouldn't make a fool of himself like he did at the last award ceremony. But when he saw the hotel's clothing brand, he didn't need to worry anymore and directly called Armani's US headquarters. They immediately sent over a dozen suits for him to choose from.
In fact, Chen Long thought too much. This was just a relatively simple family gathering. Although the attendees were all celebrities from the United States and even the world, the dinner lasted less than two hours because the next Christmas day was the first round of the Super Bowl. It was over. Chen Long, who originally wanted to chat with Tom Cruise, finally had no choice but to return to the hotel where he was staying...
The next day Chenlong got up very early and waited in the hotel lobby for arrangements with the LA Galaxy.
The first round home match against Henry's leading New York Red Bulls made Chen Long a lot more excited. The former King of Highbury, now Manchester's legendary No. 7, was about to compete with him... ...
