Football novels - King of Dribbling (Translation)

Chapter 104-The bitter cold weather, the enemy of Saint Germain!



From five to six degrees above zero to ten degrees below zero, the temperature difference was more than ten degrees. As he got off the plane, Vayd Arilocik's heart fell to freezing point, just like the temperature in Moscow. You can get out of the game with a tie. This seems to be a very good situation, but it is quite difficult to complete. CSKA players should be very adaptable to this weather, and his players ...

Vaid Alilotsik looked at the players around him, tired from long journeys on his face, and tightened his neck. He could almost see the players shaking under their thick sports coats. The exhaled heat seemed to freeze into scum in an instant.

Vayd Alilozik had an ominous hunch in his heart. In this kind of weather, his team was fierce. How he hopes the weather will change and the temperature will rise so that his team can compete with the opponent.

Boskovich rubbed his hands, stomped his feet, and scolded: "This is the ghost weather!"

The only exception is Tang Jue, whose body has been adapted by genetic medicine to adapt more than ordinary people. He didn't seem to be affected much, carrying a sports bag and keeping his feet steady.

...

After Saint Germain arrived in Moscow, after a short rest, he quickly invested in adaptive training. At three in the afternoon, the highest temperature of the day. Vayd Alilozik led his team to the training ground.

During the pre-match training, Vaid Alilozick blocked reporters from the door. He didn't want the Central Army to know in advance about Saint-Germain's main lineup and tactical play.

Standing at the highest point of Moscow, the snowflakes fluttered, and the heavy snow in the sky flew up like cotton wool. Putting silver on Moscow was really beautiful.

Saint-Germain players are heavily armed, wearing thick sports jackets and black gloves on their hands. Even so, they are rubbing their hands from time to time while doing warm-up jogging. The noses had frozen into red, and the north wind was like a knife. They shaved their faces, and their faces were pale.

Pauletta cursed during jogging: "This ghost weather!"

His voice seemed to be frozen, harsh and full of cold. Everyone else stepped silently on the thick snow on the turf, making a "creak! Crunch!" Sound under their feet.

Not long after, snow had formed on their shoulders. There are tiny ice creams on the eyelashes!

Tang is an exception, and his actions have not been affected at all, such as the elves in the snow-covered forest. It's like a Siberian tiger looking for prey in the snow!

...

After Wyid Alilotsik arrived in Moscow, his mood has not been good. The weather forecast in Moscow says that there will be heavy snow in the next few days and temperatures will continue to fall. His mood was getting worse.

During the training, he saw that except for Tang Jue, his players behaved abnormally. The team is a whole, and one person is unlikely to save a team. Even if Tang can perform normally, if the other players are abnormal, the game is not optimistic.

Several major sports media in Europe are already making predictions before the game. No media is bullish on Saint-Germain.

The title of the French team newspaper was: Low temperature, the Central Army was favored by God.

In their opinion, it was difficult for Saint-Germain to confront the Central Army in such bad weather. Frosty is the biggest obstacle in front of Saint-Germain. No matter how you calculate it, Saint-Germain is in a disadvantage.

The headline of the Marca newspaper is: Ice and Snow, Saint Germain will be severely tested.

They believe that the Central Army possesses the right time and place, and that waiting for Saint Germain will be a snow battle. In this weather, the Central Army will have an advantage.

They also predicted St. Germain's striker partner, thinking that Tang must start with Renaldo. One high and one fast, is currently the best match for Saint Germain. Using his own air advantage, Renaldo can not only threaten the opponent's door, but also play a supporting role in the frontcourt. Create shot opportunities for Tang Jue.

The headline of the Milan Sporting News is: Whether the Chinese teenager can continue to perform strongly will be the key to the game.

The scented Milano Sport has already smelled AC Milan's intention to buy a Chinese striker. They focused on Tang Jue. In the comments, they said: The Chinese teenager has got rid of the previous downturn in the first two Ligue 1 games and scored seven goals in the two games. If Tang can continue the good condition of the previous two games, Saint-Germain is likely to qualify from the group.

Cold Moscow and slippery turf are a powerful challenge facing Chinese forwards. Whether speed can be played on slippery turf is the key to Chinese forward performance.

Pauletta has just returned from his injury and made a substitute appearance in the last game against Metz, performing average. When it comes to Mr. Saint-Germain's key player, it is the Chinese striker. His performance determines the fate of Saint-Germain.

...

Tang rarely cares about the media. In his opinion, the media is a chameleon. When you perform well, they can take you to the sky. When you don't perform well, they can put you in hell.

For this battle of life and death, Tang must gather his strength slowly like a Siberian tiger in the night. When the prey appeared, he swooped forward, tearing the prey into pieces. CSKA Moscow is the prey in his eyes.

In the two days before the game, in addition to training, Tang discussed the details of the game with his teammates. At a low temperature of minus ten degrees, Tang Jue's competitive state in training seemed to be unaffected by the low temperature, which greatly encouraged some of the team's big men. Dewu and Boskovich successively found Vaid Alilozik. As for what they talked to, no one knew.

Pauletta appeared uninterested and rarely walked out of his room in the hotel, which was different from his previous style. In the past, he has always been the most active person in the team in important games away. Constantly shuttle between different rooms to encourage morale for other teammates.

The battle for life and death was scheduled at 7 pm Moscow time. At 11 am on December 27, the coaches of both sides announced the big list of participants. At 6 pm, the starting list was announced.

Pauletta did not appear on the starting list as predicted by the media before the game. Saint Germain's striker line was partnered by Tang Jue and Renaldo. Vayd Alilozick's intention is very obvious, that is, to use Renaldo's header to attract the attention of the Central Guard and create more space for Tang Jue.

The clouds over Moscow are low, as if you can touch them from a tall building. The heavy snow is still falling. They are like naughty children. When people just clean the snow, and after a blink of an eye, they are covered again.

At 6:30 in the evening, the Luzhniki stadium was full, and there was almost no vacant seat in the stands that could accommodate 85,000 spectators. fans in Moscow should use huge shouts, sound drums of drums, and inspire their players to fight bravely. With a huge shout, Saint Germain players were trembling.

This is a battle of life and death, without their support. They wore red jerseys, burning like a flame. They are fire, and they will burn Saint Germain to ashes.

The bitter cold weather blocked the footsteps of many Saint-Germain fans. On the west side of the stadium, there are only two thousand Saint-Germain fans wearing blue jerseys, who are not afraid of the cold to cheer on their soldiers.

Long guns and short cannons have been set up on the sidelines, and some reporters rubbed their hands and stomped their feet from time to time. The weather forecast says that the temperature at night is minus 13 degrees! In such weather, saliva spit on the ground, and it became ice cubes in a blink of an eye.

Wyid Alilozik said silently in his heart before the game: "God Almighty, please give me strength. I hope that Tang can play super-level in the game, and hope that other players can play normally."

At six forty, the visiting team's locker room, the players surrounded, and their outstretched right hands were stacked into a tower. Dewu shouted, "It will win! It will win!"

"Win! Win!"

The words were strong and powerful, as if to drive out the cold that invaded the body. The war in their eyes was like fire!

The home team's locker room staged the same scene.

The battle of life and death is imminent!

Before entering the playing field, Pauletta patted Tang Jue's shoulder and said, "Don, our hope lies in you."

Tang Jue looked up at Pauletta and said with a smile: "Trust me, you will have time to play!"
