Semi-finals, Spain vs. Russia.
No one was optimistic about Russia. Although Russia beat the Netherlands 3:1, the Dutch players explained the defeat afterwards that it was because they were distracted by the desire to beat Spain, which eventually led to the loss. The situation on the field also proved the words of the Dutch players. Before Russia scored three goals in a row, the Dutch players were in a daze and played terribly. When they woke up and fought back, it was too late, and they could only lose to Russia 1:3 in a humiliating way.
Therefore, Russia's victory over the Netherlands was a victory without a fight. It was purely because the Netherlands had problems, otherwise Russia would not have won the Netherlands. Therefore, no one would be optimistic about Russia's victory over Spain in the semi-finals.
Not only did no one in the outside world think it was optimistic, including the gambling groups, they were not optimistic. So they didn't take Russia seriously. They just sent someone to contact the Russian side and gave a winning goal sponsorship contract. The amount was not high, and the total amount was only 10 million US dollars! Obviously, the betting group is not optimistic about it. They are more concerned about the other half of the final, the semi-final between Germany and Turkey. Of course, from the analysis of the lineup, Germany has a very high chance of winning. So, they tried to prepare to contact Germany and give Germany a high sponsorship contract to let it win Spain.
Of course, they learned from the lessons of the Netherlands and did not choose to contact Germany in advance, fearing that it would affect Germany's preparations. If the Netherlands vs. Russia happens again, they will vomit blood and die. If this final is against Turkey, then Spain's victory is almost a suspense. They will never tolerate such a thing. Because once it happens, Spain wins the championship. Then they will go bankrupt.
So. The betting group remained silent this time. Waiting for the results of Germany and Turkey. As for Spain and Russia, it doesn't matter. With Russia's strength, it would be best if they can win. If they can't win, it's also within their expectations. It doesn't matter!
But the attitude of the betting group angered the Russian players. They heard that the gambling group offered Italy a sponsorship contract of at least 10 million US dollars per person, while Russia's turn was a total of 10 million US dollars. The gap was huge. And it looked like they were still very pessimistic about them. This was too bullying!
"It's too annoying. If they do this, we will deliberately lose to Spain and make them bankrupt!" Many Russian players gritted their teeth.
For the gambling group's contempt, the Russians decided to retaliate against them. In terms of strength, they naturally knew that they were not Spain's opponents and could only cause Spain a little trouble at most, but they knew that it was impossible to defeat Spain. Spain's midfield was too terrible, and their tactics were even more terrible. In this case, Russia could only cause Spain some trouble and consume Spain's physical strength at most.
In this case, why should they fulfill the gambling group's wishes! They didn't want to let the gambling group get away with it!
So, when Russia and Spain stood at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria, the Russian captain Arshavin said to the Spanish captain Casillas: We will not hinder your victory, you can attack as much as you want. However, don't score too much, give us some face!
Casillas was stunned when he heard this. I don't know why Arshavin gave up at the beginning?
"We just don't like the gambling group and hope they go bankrupt. So, we will play very civilized and polite. Of course, we will also defend. But I believe that the victory must be yours." Arshavin muttered.
Casillas, with an incredible expression on his face, relayed Arshavin's words to all his teammates. Everyone was petrified and incredible. Is this true or false? The Russians are actually ready to give up directly. This is incredible. Is it a trap?
When the game started, the Spaniards understood that this was not a trap. Although the Russians did not give up the game, they played very civilized, polite, and friendly. The two sides did not seem to be playing in an intercontinental semi-final, but rather in an intra-team competition, with a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
"Assholes! These damn Russians!" The betting group cursed.
Ordinary fans may not be able to see the tricks in it, and think that the players on both sides played very friendly and sportsmanlike, but only they know that this is clearly the reason why Russia did not win, or even that they did not want to win at all. In this case, it would be strange if Spain, which already has an advantage in strength, did not win this game!
"They are retaliating against us for not giving us a high enough sponsorship contract, so they are not going to consume Spain's physical strength, nor to let Spain lose people in non-war situations! To avoid yellow cards!" The president of the betting group said angrily.
"Yes, that's true. These damn Russians are so assholes!" Everyone cursed.
But it was useless to curse at this moment, and the game was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Russia's blueprint. In the end, Spain defeated Russia 3:0. In this game, there was no yellow card, no red card, and even no quarrel. The two sides resolved the fight in a friendly manner. This put the gambling group in danger because Spain retreated unscathed to face Germany.
On the contrary, if Germany has a bloody battle with Turkey, it will be in big trouble. I hope Germany can win easily!
"Don't worry, we will definitely win the European Cup and bankrupt the gambling group!" Casillas found Arshavin after the game.
Although Spain is determined to win this game, if Russia plays crazy, it will be more difficult for them to win, or at least more troublesome. In this game, everyone won leisurely without paying any price, not even a yellow card, which allows all members to face the winner of Germany and Turkey with the most complete lineup. Russia must be thanked for this!
"Nothing! Before this, we also followed Lin Feng to buy a little bit of your championship. So, this is also for ourselves!" Arshavin smiled.
For the Champions League champion, the Russians naturally don't think they can win the Champions League. In fact, they are already very satisfied to be able to enter the semi-finals. As for the big bet between Lin Feng and the gambling group this time, the Russians bought a little bit. After all, Lin Feng is so optimistic about Spain, which naturally makes sense. Now it seems that they bet right. After all, Spain has entered the final!
At present, Spain has at least a 50% chance of winning the European Cup.
"This time, the betting group has shot itself in the foot. They looked down on Russia, but now Russia has fought back and let Spain win easily! Now, Spain's chances of winning the championship have greatly increased!" Everyone sighed.
"Lin, do you want us to follow the example of the betting group and sponsor Turkey, so that they can do their best to compete with Germany for the final qualification? Even if they can't beat Germany, they will cause more trouble to Germany?" Prince William smiled mischievously.
"Haha, yes, Prince William is right. We can learn from the betting group, sponsor Turkey, and cause trouble for Germany!" Everyone shouted.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"No, although we bet heavily. But I also hope that the final can be a wonderful game. Spain's strength is unprecedented in the national team. I firmly believe that no matter what opponent, Spain can't beat Spain. They will definitely win the European Cup!" Lin Feng said confidently.
In fact, Spain's performance this year is getting more and more exciting, especially in the midfield. Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Silva and Fabregas are all amazing. It's even surprising that Spain actually has so many midfield masters at the same time. This lineup is an absolute main lineup in any team in the world. And now, they are gathered in one team, enough to stand out from the crowd.
Spain won the championship, as a matter of course!
Therefore, Lin Feng does not need to go to the trouble of sponsoring Turkey and causing trouble for Germany. Spain has absolute strength to win the European Cup!
But the result was very surprising. Germany defeated Turkey 3:2 with difficulty and entered the final. This game made the betting group tremble with fear. They did not expect that Turkey would be so fierce and almost let Germany capsize in the gutter. If Turkey and Spain meet in the final, Spain's winning rate will be as high as 87%, which is very terrifying. Fortunately, after a fierce battle, Germany still defeated Turkey and entered the final.
Of course, the betting group began to cooperate with Germany. This time, there is only one game left, so the betting group has shown their sincerity this time - the winning prize, each player will receive a 10-year sponsorship contract of 100 million US dollars, and the German Football Association will receive an additional sponsorship contract of 1 billion US dollars.
In other words, in this final, the betting group will invest nearly 30 billion euros to ensure victory in the game. This is a very lucrative sponsorship contract. It will be money that almost all German players will never make in their lifetime. But compared to the betting group's 346.2 billion euro betting slips, this money is definitely worth it. Because once Germany loses, they will go bankrupt!
Can they go bankrupt? Of course not! The betting group absolutely does not want to go bankrupt, so they are desperate.
But what stunned the betting group was that Germany, from coaches to players, unanimously rejected the sponsorship.
"We want to touch the European Cup, but not for money, but for honor! Take your stinky money and get out of the European Cup!" German captain Ballack shouted loudly. (To be continued...)
