Chapter 226 Betting on the Weathervane

After the first match day, the schedule of the group matches started one after another, and the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to participate in the World Cup is also rapidly heating up. Gradually became the norm during the World Cup. Even those fans who sneer at betting and gambling will participate in the upsurge of national guessing for the reason of "small gambling and fun" during this period.

The Chinese team said goodbye to the World Cup early. Without their own home team to support, the fans used this method to choose sides and take part in this quadrennial green feast in another way.

The most concerned by the fans are naturally those star-studded favourites, such as Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany, defending champion Italy and other strong teams. What surprised these fans is that Zhou Tiancheng is optimistic about the results. Among the favorites to win the championship, there is no French team. As for the defending champion, after thinking about it, he still reluctantly ranked last.

It seems absurd. Many French and Italian fans condemned him on his Weibo. After all, these two teams have a huge fan base in China, especially Italy. Serie A is the first five major leagues broadcast by CCTV. Old fans who have experienced the "Little World Cup" era have deep affection for Italian football. Defending champions out

Although Zhou Tiancheng had a good reason in the program, the French team was trapped by internal factors and absolutely could not play the real combat effectiveness of these stars. As for Italy, Zhou Tiancheng was not optimistic about Lippi's defense system. The reason is very simple. The central axis is too old, with old arms and legs, it is impossible to go far with Pirlo's scheduling in the midfield. But the fans are always irrational, even if Zhou Tiancheng is a star in his own country, they will still complain when they hear something that is not to their liking. Many French and Italian fans felt sorry for Zhou Tiancheng.

"Environment can really change people. Ever since he entered the national team, he has also been infected with sour grapes mentality. Zhou Tiancheng should quit the national football team. He didn't expect to watch China play the World Cup. Don't be eroded by this big stain. If you like him, let's see what he has done to this child."

"Public figures should speak more responsibly. They always want to be different and sensationalize, but in the end they are just clowns."

After Zhou Tiancheng finished each episode of the program, he refreshed Weibo to the bottom with some bad comments, and even CCTV host Zhang Bin kindly reminded him: "Xiao Zhou, when you read the news on the Internet recently, you must keep a normal mind. You are not messing around in China. Maybe you don’t know much about domestic fans and Internet trolls. In short, no matter what you say on the Internet, don’t take it to heart, but your point of view is indeed different.”

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I'm just expressing my own opinion. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. I don't care what others think."

Having been on CCTV for a week, Zhou Tiancheng has a very good relationship with Zhang Bin, and he is very kind. Zhou Tiancheng feels a kind of care from him that is similar to that of his father.

Of course, this does not mean that he will take back what he said. Zhou Tiancheng has enough confidence in matters on the court. He is also a professional player anyway, and his personal experience has a deeper and more professional understanding of football than fans who have watched football for ten or twenty years.

After all the group matches were over, the trend of public opinion on the Internet immediately changed. Although everyone understands a basic common sense: a World Cup without upsets is not a real World Cup. But I didn't expect that Zhou Tiancheng really hit the mark. The previous champions and runners-up, Italy and France, were both out.

The French team's exit was still expected by some people. The contradictions within the team were suddenly made public on the eve of the World Cup. It wasn't a surprise that he was out. But Italy's performance was too cold in the group stage, with two draws and one loss. They held peerless draws such as Paraguay, New Zealand, and Slovakia, but they couldn't win a single game. In the last World Cup, Cannavaro, who was like a defensive god, became a big colander in the defense.

Lippi, who was promoted to the altar four years ago, became the target of intensive attacks by the Italian national media and fans. Gazzetta dello Sport even jokingly called the three things that Italian fans repeat most every day during the World Cup: eating, sleeping and scolding Lippi.

In contrast to this, Slovakia, the Eastern European team participating in the World Cup for the first time, won the second place in the group and successfully qualified, becoming a dark horse in the group stage.

As the prophecy was fulfilled step by step, while the Internet was full of exclamations, fans who had been following Zhou Tiancheng for a long time immediately seized the opportunity to reverse the direction of the wind: "I knew that Chengda University would not be wrong, as long as he said it Things, it seems that it has not been impossible.”

Of course, more voices expressed their absolute conviction.

"This is the big guy. My eight years of golfing experience are exactly the same as Xiaobai's."

"Upstairs, you dare to speak up even in eight years. I am so impressed by my twenty years of golf experience."

In the final game of Group H, Zhou Tiancheng predicted that Spain would win by one goal when he anticipated the collision between Spain and Chile. In the final result, Spain defeated Chile 2:1. Bosque had some reservations. Still successfully got the right to qualify for the group.

After the group stage, Zhou Tiancheng even regarded Spain as the number one favorite to win the championship in the replay program before the start of the knockout round. He had a solid basis. The Spanish national team is mostly star players from the two super giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona. He has rich experience in major competitions. In addition, Iniesta came back before the World Cup. The Spanish team, which has followed Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play, has Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield, and no one can compete for control.

After Zhou Tiancheng said that the favorite to win the championship was the Spanish team, the eyes of the betting fans brightened and they all found their way.

"As soon as the champion team comes out, it will decisively beat the Spanish champion."

"This time I will also be crazy, contribute all my small treasury, and Stud Spain wins the championship."

"I feel that Zhou Tiancheng is as accurate as Octopus Paul, so it's Spain."

During this World Cup, the octopus Paul of the Oberhausen Aquarium in Germany became a new Internet celebrity, predicting that the German team will win all of the two group matches. However, the comments of the fans on the third floor were captured by Zhou Tiancheng's fans in an instant.

"Upstairs, you are really flattering Chengda University. Then we compare Chengda University with an octopus. That is definitely just a hype. Chengda University's predictions are well-founded. Professionals who eat melons and keyboards will not understand."

"Don't say anything. If you want to make money, you have to listen to Chengda. Buy with Chengda. The villa is close to the sea. If you insist on choosing the opposite, you will sooner or later be on the roof."

Thanks to Zhou Tiancheng's words, Spain has become the favorite to bet on winning the championship in the shortest possible time. Gaming companies are forced to continuously lower the odds of winning the championship. The major betting shops are relieved. They are also afraid. Tens of thousands of orders weigh heavily on a team at the same time, or they will suffer a blood loss
