Vol 4 Chapter 916: Lose first

If we talk about the World Cup in South Africa, many people will think of Yang Yang leading the Chinese team to qualify from the group, some people will think of Iniesta ’s lore in the Spanish finals, and some people will remember Germany ’s four-ball victory over Maradona ’s Argentina ...
But there is a name, whether it is a fan or a non-fan, it will not feel strange.
Octopus Paul.
I am afraid no one can imagine that in the World Cup in South Africa, the most popular turned out to be a big octopus living in the Oberhausen Oceanarium in Germany, whose full name is Paul Allen.
How hot is it?
During the popular period, there was an aquarium in Spain that offered an astronomical transfer fee of up to 30,000 euros for octopus Paul, which created the highest transfer price ever in the octopus world, almost 30,000 times higher than other octopuses.
Even according to the plan outlined by the Spanish local parliament, they intend to make Octopus Paul the representative of the city and use its fame to promote the development of tourism in the entire region.
Octopus Paul is well-known worldwide, driving the popularity of surrounding products, and even making the Oberhausen Aquarium in which it resides world-renowned, becoming a must-see attraction for countless tourists arriving in Germany and a cash cow for the aquarium.
In August after the World Cup, the British octopus Paul had German nationality, but he was born in the United Kingdom and also had British nationality. So he pushed octopus Paul to be the ambassador for England ’s 2018 World Cup bid.
But unfortunately, on the evening of October 25th, Octopus Paul died at the Oberhausen Aquarium, at the age of two and a half, and finally failed to hold until December, so that at the end of December, England bid for two After the failure of the 2018 World Cup, many people believed that it was because of the unfortunate death of the bid ambassador.
Looking at the octopus Paul's record, in the 2008 European Cup and the two World Cup competitions in one or two years, Paul predicted that the success rate of the game will be as high as 92.85%. The record can be described as brilliant and uncompromising. Emperor Octopus.
After the death of octopus Paul, octopus emperors around the world also appeared in endlessly, and various "Paul II" also took advantage of the trend.
There are also two octopus emperors living in the Benamadena Aquarium in Madrid, Spain, which has been unanimously popular among Madrid and Spanish fans. Even before, the media often published the prediction results of the two octopus emperors in newspapers.
Interestingly, the staff of the aquarium gave each of these two octopuses a very eye-catching name.
The Mediterranean octopus weighing 1.5 kg is called Iniesta, because the named staff are fans of Barcelona's core Xiaobai.
The Pacific Octopus weighing up to 16 kg is named Igor. This is the name of Real Madrid captain and goalkeeper Casillas. Needless to say, this staff member must also be a Real Madrid fan.
These two octopuses are not small, and the prediction success rate is also very high. Before each major game, the Benamadena Aquarium will attract a large number of fans and the media to gather attention to the predictions of the two octopus emperors.
This time is no exception.
...
Before the 32nd round of La Liga, a large number of fans and media gathered in the aquarium, and everyone was waiting for the predictions of the two octopus emperors.
As predicted by Octopus Paul, there is a special aquarium in the aquarium. Two transparent glass test tubes are placed inside the test tube. The team logos against the two teams are placed in the test tube. After the prediction starts, the staff put the octopus Entered the box and let it climb for a while, which test tube it climbed on represented the winner.
In the 32nd round, La Liga will usher in the second Century Derby this season, and then will usher in the Kings Cup final.
The two matches are one after the other, the previous one is undoubtedly crucial, and this is related to the attribution of the La Liga champion this season.
Only when Real Madrid won Barcelona at home and successfully reduced the five-point gap to two points can they have the opportunity to reverse their opponents.
Therefore, everyone is very much looking forward to this matchup, and they are all very concerned. Who can win?
The prediction of Emperor Octopus is surprising.
"Iniesta" after a bit of cruising, suddenly climbed into the glass test tube with the Barcelona label, which means that this Barcelona fan Octopus is very optimistic about Barcelona winning.
In the following, Real Madrid fan octopus "Igor" was also put into the aquarium, but after a difficult choice, it did not choose any side, it seems that he did not want to make a choice, a little abstained Suspected.
The majority of Real Madrid fans at the scene all sighed.
Octopus's prediction cast a shadow on the hearts of Real Madrid fans present. Is it true that Real Madrid will really lose to Barcelona at home and lose this season's La Liga title battle?
Careful analysis is not impossible.
The gap of up to five points made Real Madrid have to bear heavy pressure and burden. The team must win opponents at home, then it must be determined to attack decisively, but this will undoubtedly hit Barcelona.
Everyone knows very well that the reason why Real Madrid was able to beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp five goals in the first century derby last season is that Real Madrid led the points and left all the pressure to Barcelona.
But now, the situation is reversed, Real Madrid is now behind, and the league has entered the final stage, leaving less time for Real Madrid, in this case, who dare to say that Real Madrid will not take a risk? ?
If you are facing other teams, Real Madrid fans must be full of confidence, but in the face of Barcelona, ​​especially this season, the pass and control of the ball has reached its peak. Barcelona, ​​who has already achieved the goal, can Real Madrid take the initiative to attack?
Now, the prediction of Emperor Octopus makes Real Madrid lose a game without a fight, and also makes fans more worried.
…………
…………
Yang Yang saw the predictions of the two octopus emperors from the newspaper while eating the next morning.
He snorted directly, almost smirked.
"Just eat when you eat, how can you laugh like this?" The mother asked, complaining, sitting opposite.
Yang Yang smiled and shook his head. Su Ye, who was sitting next to him, took the opportunity to lean over and followed Yang Yang's finger. After seeing the news, she also followed a joy, feeling that this kind of thing was quite interesting.
"Octopus Paul has been popularized by science for so many times, and the result is still so many people believe." Yang Yang felt incomprehensible.
Su Ye understands this phenomenon. "It's mainly boring, and it's purely an interesting thing to participate in, but this shows that it can attract so many people to see the octopus emperor in the aquarium. The century war is attracting worldwide attention. "
Yang Yang nodded. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two strongest football teams in the world today. Century Derby is also the most attractive football game in the world. Since both sides are gathered by superstars, the attraction of this event is not weaker than other. game.
"Right, how do you plan to play this team? Is there confidence in yourself?" Su Ye asked with concern.
The game is tomorrow night, and Yang Yang will stay with the team tonight in the hotel, which is also the tradition of Real Madrid the night before the game.
"I don't know." Yang Yang shook his head. "The team's internal atmosphere is very good and full of confidence in the game, but no one knows what Benitez is thinking. He talked to me in private, also No tone of voice disclosed. "
This is also a habit of Benitez.
It's not that he can't believe the player, but because he has suffered a loss and learned lessons.
He believes that if players know in advance, once they are interviewed by the media before the game, or when they communicate with friends, they often reveal some information without knowing it.
Every team will collect all kinds of information before the game, because this is a war, intelligence is always the most important means of winning a war, and once a little tone is revealed, even if outsiders seem to be eight poles at all Unable to hit, but under the spy of the opponent and digging layer by layer, may reveal the team's secret.
It was a terrible thing for opponents to figure out the tactics before the game.
Therefore, since Liverpool, Yang Yang has been accustomed to Benitez ’s elusiveness. The Spaniard almost never reveals tactics before the game. He chooses to tell all before the team warms up to the locker room and prepares to play. Person his thoughts.
At this time, Real Madrid has been practicing two different styles of play, one with double backs and one with three backs.
Kaka's recent condition is quite good. If he adopts a double-backed tactic, he is expected to be at the meeting, but if he uses a triple-backed, he has to see how Benitez arranges it.
When he thought of Kaka, Yang Yang was concerned about the birth of Kaka's daughter.
Yang Yang and Kaka are neighbors. In the past two years, Su Ye and Caroline have very close ties. The two are of similar age, and the relationship is naturally very good. Especially recently, they are both pregnant women and often exchange ideas together.
Caroline already has a three-year-old son and is more experienced in this area.
I learned from Su Ye that Kaka's daughter should have been born at the end of April, but no one knows exactly when. The only thing that is certain is that Kaka should be playing with the team.
"Originally, Caroline planned to go back to Brazil. They had already selected the hospital before, but then she accompanied me to the Lamorareja Hospital after the maternity check. She felt that it was very good, so she chose to stay in Spain. Kaka ’s parents have also come to Madrid to take care of her personally. "
Kaka also used Yang Yang to hire an experienced obstetric escort. I believe it should be no problem.
Yang Yang is very clear that Kaka has been very motivated recently, and the performance on the court is getting better and better, showing a very good momentum. If he can continue to develop in this direction, I believe that the Brazilian can successfully transform and continue his career. .
Of course, he certainly can't be the chasing young man who was riding the European stadium.
Now that Kaka is twenty-nine years old, let alone returning to the top, even if he has recovered his status, he may have difficulty in how long it will last. No one knows how it will develop in future.
But as a friend, Yang Yang asked himself what he could do.
Sometimes, there are some things that really do not believe in fate.
Yang Yang even thought to himself, would he be like Kaka next?
Or, how to avoid Kaka?
