Zhang Kuang: I don't want to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona to help Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi
The headline of "Milan Sports Newspaper" is: "Death of Italy".
The headline of "Roma Sports Newspaper" is: "Out with shame".
The headline of "Tuttosport" is. "Goodbye, Champion".
The interview video of Zhang Kuang was uncovered.
"Italy has a high probability of being the same as France - the group will not qualify." This sentence was scolded by the Italy media at the time.
Now it's true.
Italy fans are searching for Zhang Kuang's name on the Internet like crazy.
"Who is this China person? How did he know that Italy would be eliminated?"
"I remember him! He said it a month ago! Everyone scolded him, but he was right!"
"Does he have the ability to predict the future?"
"No way, he just knows the ball."
"Knows football? He knows football and can predict Italy to be eliminated from the group? This is crazy."
At the same time, Europe's bookmaker became nervous.
They found that in recent times, a large number of bets have flowed in one direction - the direction predicted by Zhang Kuang.
France is eliminated from the group, Italy is eliminated from the group, England is in the top sixteen, Brazil is in the top eight, Argentina is in the top eight...
Although the single amount of these bets is not large, the number is staggering.
Moreover, the people who place bets are very scattered - accounts from all over the world France, accounts from all over the world Italy, and even accounts from Asia.
The risk control department of Bet365, the world's largest gambling company, held an emergency meeting.
"These bets are based on the predictions of the China player."
"Should we adjust the odds?"
"We must adjust. If all his predictions come true, we will lose a lot of money."
"But not all of his predictions have come true. Adjusting the odds now is equivalent to admitting that his predictions are right."
"Admit it and admit it. It's better than losing money."
As a result, the odds of the teams predicted by Zhang Kuang began to be significantly lowered.
Especially the odds of Spain winning have been lowered all the way from the original 4.0.
The media is even more crazy.
People are looking for Zhang Kuang everywhere and hope to interview him.
A TV station offered a high price - five hundred thousand euros, asking Zhang Kuang to appear on a program, just once, for an hour.
Jonathan conveyed this invitation.
Zhang Kuang's reply was, "I won't go."
"Why? Five hundred thousand euros, one hour, is a good deal."
"I'm not short of money now." Zhang Kuang said, "And I don't want to be consumed by the media. When World Cup is over, everything will be clear."
He hung up the phone and continued practicing.
It's only 18 o'clock Qi and Blood Points.
Soon.
On June 26, Zhang Kuang was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom of Paris's apartment.
He was the only one in the room.
Women? None today.
He has something serious to do today.
He closed his eyes and looked at the system panel in his mind. The middle of the panel displayed: Upgrade Card × 2, Qi and Blood Points: 1000. It meets the conditions for upgrading to the realm of immortality. Do you want to consume one Upgrade Card, 1000 Qi and Blood Points to upgrade?
"Yes, upgrade."
As Zhang Kuang's conscious command was issued, a progress bar popped up. Qi and Blood Points was consumed rapidly. The progress bar rushed forward quickly, and then stopped when it reached 99.9%.
At this time, a Upgrade Card flew out and exploded with a 'ba' sound, turning into a colorful torrent and rushing towards the final level.
Zhang Kuang seemed to hear a "pop" sound in his body, and something was rushed away.
At this time, the system panel displayed 'Congratulations to the host for his breakthrough in cultivating immortality Qi Refining First Layer Middle Stage! He has gained two strands of spiritual power in his body and his physical fitness has increased by 20%.'
Then Zhang Kuang immediately checked his Dantian, and sure enough he had three strands of mana. Then he checked the system panel:
Strength increased by 20%.
The speed increased by 20%.
Endurance increased by 20%.
Defense increased by 20%.
The recovery ability has been increased by 20%.
Agility increased by 20%.
Zhang Kuang Open your eyes and take a deep breath.
Finally a breakthrough, haha... A breakthrough, a breakthrough, finally a breakthrough.
His body is also changing.
Zhang Kuang jumped out of bed and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
His muscle lines became more obvious, but they were not the exaggerated muscles trained in the gym, but lean, smooth, and explosive lines.
He shook his fist.
Knuckles cracking.
He walked to the living room, picked up a Apple, and squeezed it gently - the Apple shattered.
Juice flowed down my hand.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment.
He originally just wanted to squeeze it, but unexpectedly, he crushed it directly.
He walked to the middle of the courtyard of the villa, took a deep breath, and then jumped up on the spot.
How high did you jump?
He doesn't have a ruler to measure.
But he felt like -- he could jump from the free throw line and dunk.
No, not from the free throw line.
It's from the three-point line.
Trying his strength again, he walked to the 600 kilogram sandbag placed in the yard, punched it out, and with a 'bang' sound, the sandbag was broken.
Tsk tsk!
If this were to hit someone with a punch, I wouldn't dare think about it.
Zhang Kuang stood in the yard, looking at the sky Paris, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
Now, with his physical fitness, if we were to judge the best person in the world, he would definitely be in the top 50 in the world.
If you kick the ball--
Faster, more agile, stronger in confrontation, and more powerful in exerting force.
In addition to football skills, such as the fineness of dribbling, the accuracy of passing, and the feeling of stopping the ball, these also need to be honed.
Other than that - he is no worse than any other football champion.
Of course, whether you are the best player or not is not determined by your physical fitness.
But Zhang Kuang knows that he is one step closer to that goal.
After the upgrade, Zhang Kuang practices harder.
The maximum daily intake is nine points Qi and Blood Points, without wasting a minute.
His current goal is to save the next thousand points and rise to Qi Refining First Layer Advanced Stage.
However, a thousand points of Qi and Blood Points is difficult. The system stipulates that before reaching Qi Refining Fourth Layer, the maximum daily limit can only be 9 points of Qi and Blood Points. This means that if he dies, he can only trade time for space.
However, at his current level, he is almost ready to become a top-level player in football, as long as he scores goals like crazy.
No rush, no rush, no rush, just for a while.
--
And the results of World Cup are slowly fulfilling his prediction.
On June 27, England played against Germany.
England lost to Germany 1:4.
Stopped in the top 16.
Zhang Kuang's prediction came true again.
"Xie Te, Chinese Zhang's prediction has come true again. Oh my god, our England has indeed stopped in the top 16. Does Chinese Zhang know the script? What is going on?"
"Ah, even the betting company has lowered the game predicted by Chinese Zhang, which shows that his prediction is very likely to be extremely accurate."
"Then what else is there to see in this World Cup? It all went according to the predictions of Chinese Zhang. Then this is all a script."
"But, how did Chinese Zhang know the script? Is he someone from FIFA?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense. Even the chairman of FIFA can't control the market so accurately, right?"
"Yes, did FIFA also control France National Team's locker room? Let a conflict break out in France National Team's locker room?"
"The most important thing is, even if all this is a script written by FIFA, how did Chinese Zhang know about it? And Chinese Zhang broke the news a month before World Cup started. Could it be that FIFA wouldn't change the script?"
"Hey, the more you analyze this, the more mysterious it becomes. Chinese Zhang must be a prophet. He can know what will happen in the future."
"Yes, then Chinese Zhang is scary, but why does he still want to be a player when he has this ability?"
"This..."
On June 28, Argentina defeated Mexico 3:1 and advanced to the quarterfinals. This was in his prediction. He did not say that Argentina would be eliminated from the group. He said that Argentina would reach the top eight.
On June 29, Brazil defeated Chile 3:0 and advanced to the quarterfinals. It was also in his prediction.
The real test comes in the quarter-finals.
But that was in July.
As July has just arrived, something big is happening in the football world.
The morning of July 1st.
Manchester.
Carrington Training Ground.
Zhang Kuang When I walked in here for the first time, I saw a wall full of history.
Busby Babes.
Charlton.
Best.
Lao.
Robson.
Cantona.
Keane.
Beckham.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Each of these names is a legend in football history.
Since World Cup is still in progress, the welcome ceremony for Manchester United was very simple. There was no large-scale event at Old Trafford Stadium, but a brief press conference was held in the press release hall of Carrington.
The press briefing hall is not big, but it is crowded with reporters. The red dots of the cameras are like a dense swarm of fireflies.
Under the enthusiastic introduction of Manchester United's press officer, when Zhang Kuang walked into the press room, the flashlights started to flash wildly.
He was wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and no tie.
Under the guidance of the staff, he came to the signing table and first shook hands with David, CEO of Manchester United. Then the two sat down and began to sign the file. After signing, the two exchanged and signed the contract, and finally took a photo together with the contract.
The flash kept flashing, and then Zhang Kuang and David held up the No. 33 jersey to take a picture, and finally he himself held up the No. 33 jersey to take a picture.
Finally, he and David were guided to the media Q&A podium to sit down. On his left was Ferguson, and on his right was David.
Manchester United Press Officer: "I am very happy to announce that Zhang Kuang has officially become a member of Manchester United. This is a very important signing, which Sir Ferguson strongly promoted.
Zhang Kuang is one of the most talented young forwards we have ever seen. He has proven himself in Ligue 1. I believe that he can also prove himself in Manchester United and prove himself in Premier League.
Now we have officially entered the media Q&A session. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask our new No. 33 Player Zhang Kuang, the head coach Sir Ferguson, and the CEO Mr. David."
The reporters raised their hands, and the reporter from the BBC was first called upon by the press officer.
The first question was given to Zhang Kuang.
"Zhang, why did you choose Manchester United? As far as I know, Juventus was the closest to your cooperation in the beginning. Was it just a meeting between Sir Ferguson and you? What did you talk about in the middle? What did he promise? Why was Juventus your first choice at the beginning instead of Manchester United?"
Zhang Kuang looked at the reporter and thought for a while.
"Well, you have very good information. Could it be that you bribed my agent? Why do you know so much about it? Jonathan, you have to pay me some information fees."
Zhang Kuang turned his head to Jonathan and said.
"Haha..." the reporters at the scene laughed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kuang was quite humorous.
Zhang Kuang continued, "Well, actually this question is easy to answer. The reason why I considered Juventus immediately was because Juventus needs to be rebuilt and they need a core player.
In addition, Serie A has begun to decline in recent years. If I join Juventus, I can become the core of Juventus, and maybe I can win Serie A championships in the next few years. I hope to join a team that can win championships stably, so I chose Juventus.
Looking at the current five major leagues, with the exception of Ligue 1, there are not many teams in the other four major leagues that can consistently win championships. Except for La Liga's Real Madrid and Barcelona, the remaining teams are Manchester United.
But Real Madrid and Barcelona are not within the scope of my consideration, because there are Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi there. Should I go and attack them? Impossible. I don't have a dream of an emperor or a dream of an emperor, and I won't have to go to Real Madrid Barcelona.
Therefore, in theory, I only had the top three northern brands Serie A, Manchester United and Chelsea of Premier League, and Bayern Munich of Bundesliga to choose from.
Bayern Munich, as everyone knows, they also need to rebuild. I don't know when it will be completed. Moreover, the salary for Bundesliga is not high.
As for Premier League, the first choice is of course Manchester United, but at that time I heard that Sir Ferguson was retiring, so Premier League was not my choice. Because it is hard for me to imagine what Manchester United would be like without Ferguson, so I will not join.
However, Sir Ferguson later went to Lyon to talk to me in person. I told Sir my concerns at that time, and he heard me say that I did not choose Manchester United because he was going to retire. He said that he would still coach Manchester United for at least three years.
So, since the Jazz will stay with Manchester United for three more years, then I must choose Manchester United. This is why I signed Manchester United."
At this time, the second reporter asked, "There are several pieces of information in your words just now. The first one is that you said that Sir Ferguson said you would come here after coaching for more than three years. What if the Jazz retires midway? Will you continue to stay at Manchester United? Or will you leave the team? Are you so not optimistic about Manchester United without the Jazz?"
Zhang Kuang: "I know what you want to express deep down. You want to say that I only came to Manchester United because of the Jazz, not because of Manchester United. I may even have the idea of leaving the team because the Jazz will not coach, which is a bit unloyal... or disrespectful to Manchester United, right?"
I can understand your thinking, but don't you think it's a bit too much to tie such morals to me, a foreign professional player?
Only players from Manchester United's youth training, or players who Manchester United has paid a huge price for a certain player, need to be kidnapped by morality.
If every professional player is morally kidnapped, then there is no need to open the transfer market at all, because as long as the players who transfer and leave are players who are not loyal enough to the original club, or do not respect them enough.
In my opinion, Manchester United without Jazz... I can't imagine it, so I can't guarantee anything if that happens.
This is my very honest statement. I am a player only to win and compete for championships. When a player loses the factors of winning and competing for championships, I will no longer stick to this team. After all, my football life is limited."
What Zhang Kuang said was a bit too utilitarian and not very humane, but the reporters are understandable and have nothing to criticize about Zhang Kuang's words.
Next reporter. "Zhang, you said that you don't have a dream of being a son, nor a dream of being a son. You just want to go to a team that has the ability to compete for the championship. Wouldn't it be better to just go to Real Madrid and Barcelona and win the championship?"
Zhang Kuang: "Maybe you didn't understand what I meant. Those two teams have Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. If I'm not allowed to be the core to score goals, I'll feel uncomfortable if I'm asked to play support."
Reporter: "What's wrong with that? Who scores the goal? Do you think you have to be better than the two of them?"
Zhang Kuang: "I don't know if I am better than the two of them. After all, I have never competed head-on. I just don't want to play support."
"Pfft, haha..."
Ferguson and David looked at each other, then rubbed their foreheads speechlessly, okay, here comes a super topical king.
At this time, the Sun reporter in the audience had quickly written a title, "Zhang Kuang: I don't want to go to Real Madrid Barcelona to assist Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi."
