Reborn Almighty Life

The 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan was jointly hosted by two countries for the first time, setting many firsts in the history of the World Cup.

The merits and demerits of this World Cup will be commented upon by later generations. As of now, the popularity of football in China has reached the highest level in history!

The Chinese men's football team entered the World Cup finals for the first time, attracting the attention of countless Chinese people.

The Chinese team, which has gone to South Korea to prepare for the game, is being pursued and intercepted by major media across the country. Almost every piece of news, whether true or false, can arouse heated discussions among fans.

When you turn on the TV or open the newspaper, the most eye-catching thing is the news about the World Cup. Advertisements endorsed by football stars are overwhelming.

In this case, the leaders of Qiyou High School are not too pedantic and know that it is better to reduce students' enthusiasm than to block it. Instead of forcing student fans to climb over the wall to watch the World Cup outside, it is better to create viewing conditions in the school.

Therefore, the evening self-study on Friday night was cancelled, allowing the students to watch the World Cup opening ceremony!

Many years later, many of Gu Fei's memories of the school were blurred, but especially during the holidays, he showed the students the opening ceremony of the World Cup, which left a deep impression on him.

…………

"Brother Fei, where are you going to watch the opening ceremony later?"

After dinner, when a few people gathered by the sink to wash the rice bowls, Luo Jiahua asked.

These days, the hottest topic is the World Cup opening ceremony. Everyone is full of expectations and wants to witness the World Cup in which our country participates.

In their previous lives, Gu Fei, Luo Jiahua, Huang Zhiyuan and others went to the lecture theater to watch the opening ceremony, and later went on to watch the defending champion France's opening match against the African Lions Senegal.

However, the dull opening game was really a waste of time.

"I'm too lazy to go!" Gu Fei shook his head and said, "We'll wait until there is a game in Spain!"

Now Gu Fei has no interest in watching the "backward" opening ceremony performance. After experiencing the wonderful opening ceremony of the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games, Gu Fei's taste has been improved a lot.

Besides, the biggest charm of a football game is the unknown. Watching the game after knowing the result will be boring.

"Tch! Spain, the king of the qualifiers, is weak as soon as it comes to the main game!" Huang Zhiyuan is a supporter of France. The football lottery tickets he bought are all aimed at the French team winning the championship. Spain was defeated by France in the championship.

"Then we don't care about you!" Luo Jiahua put away the rice bowl, tidied up a little, and set off with a few close classmates.

In order to watch the game, the students showed their talents and found suitable viewing locations. The canteen, audio-visual classroom and lecture theater were overcrowded.

After all, the current environment is all about football. If you don’t go to the World Cup, you won’t have anything in common with your classmates and friends.

When Gu Fei left the dormitory, the entire dormitory building was silent, most of them went to watch the opening ceremony.

In 2002, there were no mobile phones or computers, and people had very few entertainment options. No one wanted to miss an event like the World Cup opening ceremony.

Along the way, many students were in a hurry and looked excited.

At seven o'clock in the evening, there were only a few people sitting in the classroom, and even the few "nerds" who usually squatted in the classroom all day were nowhere to be seen.

For those who have not experienced it, it is difficult to understand that football was once the number one sport in China!

"Brother Fei, why don't you go to the opening ceremony?"

Gu Fei's appearance in the classroom was surprising. As we all know, Gu Fei is an avid sports fan. It was strange not to go to the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

Sports Weekly is published on March 5, 1.5 yuan/copy, 0. Gu Fei directly pays a month's money and asks the owner of the small shop to help buy it; "Contemporary Sports" has two issues per month, priced at 6 yuan, and Gu Fei buys it every issue.

Not falling.

At a time when the living expenses of most high school students were less than 200 yuan per month, Gu Fei spent more than 30 yuan on newspapers and periodicals every month, which was quite a luxury.

"I don't like the French team!" Gu Fei's explanation was really willful.

All of a sudden, all the students present laughed and said frankly that Fei Ge has a personality!

You know, the French team is the most popular team in recent years. After winning the World Cup in 1998, it won the European Cup in 2000 and won the Confederations Cup last year.

This time the French team is sitting on the Premier League Golden Boot Henry, Serie A Golden Boot Trezeguet and French Ligue 1 Golden Boot Cisse. Although World Footballer Zidane has not yet returned from injury, there is no doubt about their strength!

For the vast majority of Chinese fans, they may not really like a foreign football team, they just follow the victory.

Whoever wins more championships will have more fans!

…………

"Why are you here?" He Xiaolan, who was lying on the seat, squinted his eyes like crescent moons.

He Xiaolan was not interested in football and had some unfinished papers on hand, so she simply went to the classroom and prepared to struggle.

I never thought that Gu Fei would be here too!

"They've all gone to the lecture hall. I find it boring!" Gu Fei said casually, looking as if nothing had happened.

In his previous life, Gu Fei only found out after the fact that He Xiaolan had spent the whole night answering questions in the classroom, but he was a wooden fish, so he just said "Oh" and turned the page.

Only later did Gu Fei realize that it was his playfulness and slow reaction time and time again that pushed He Xiaolan away.

"Then tell me about these questions. The electromagnetic part is really too taxing!" He Xiaolan did not try to expose Gu Fei's poor excuse and took out the wrong question book with a smile.

He Xiaolan didn't believe that Gu Fei would find the opening game of the World Cup "boring". You should know that he was someone who could peek at the latest newspapers and periodicals during class.

During this period, Gu Fei collected various information, handwritten a lot of team analysis, and even spent a lot of money to buy World Cup lottery tickets. Who was he fooling by saying that he was not interested in football?

If Gu Fei's grades hadn't steadily improved, He Xiaolan would have warned him long ago. After all, the college entrance examination was less than forty days away.

Soon, the two people's heads came together, and Gu Fei patiently explained to He Xiaolan the important test points of the electromagnetic part of physics, completely unaware of the passage of time.

He Xiaolan is relatively weak in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and her total score in the three subjects hovers around 330 most of the time, which is the bottleneck that limits her ability to obtain high scores.

After all, the combined English and Chinese skills of 267 have basically reached the limit of ordinary people. Not everyone is a super academic.

Gu Fei also hopes that in the next month, He Xiaolan's math, physics and chemistry scores can be improved a little bit, and maybe the two of them can go to a better university together to further their studies.

In the previous life, Gu Fei went to Rongcheng, and He Xiaolan was in Beijing. The long distance and the fact that Gu Fei was dazzled in Rongcheng caused the two to drift further and further apart.

…………

When Gu Fei and Gu Fei were getting into a good mood, cheers and exclamations suddenly came from the audio-visual education building next door, causing the students in the classroom to look at each other!

Gu Fei looked at the BB machine on the desktop. It was 20:02 on May 31, Beijing time. The time was very symmetrical!

If Gu Fei remembers correctly, this should be Senegal's goal, and the French team begins its nightmare journey to defend the World Cup title!

After France, except for the five-star World Cup champion Brazil in 2002 who reached the quarterfinals in Germany in 2006, the defending champions of the following World Cups were all eliminated in the group stage!

The curse of the defending champion is terrifying!

According to fantasy novels, winning the championship consumes all your luck, and it is normal for you to fall into ruin next!

"Is there a goal?" He Xiaolan turned to look at Gu Fei and found that his eyelashes were so long.

"I bought the French team and lost. My lottery ticket can't be wasted!" Gu Fei nodded, with a serious look on his face.

In addition to keeping the real lottery tickets for the top eight and the top four secret, Gu Fei also bought some additional lottery tickets to hide the lottery tickets from others, including the first round lottery tickets that did not need to be concealed.

"You still talked about lottery tickets. I called my dad to help me buy some, and he even scolded me!" He Xiaolan gave Gu Fei a slap and said coquettishly.

He Xiaolan was a good girl, but she didn't dare to go out on the street to buy lottery tickets by herself. Instead, she asked her father to buy a few lottery tickets based on Gu Fei's purchase plan to show that she and Gu Fei were in the same camp.

"I used this lottery ticket to earn four years of college expenses!" Gu Fei smiled with a smile on his face, but he was also a little touched and uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, the interests of the top eight were too great, and Gu Fei did not dare to use them to test people's hearts!

I just hope that He Xiaolan will not complain when she learns the truth in the future.
