"Tony, let me tell us why I am so confident about this order of the top scorer?"

"Although Brazilian head coach Pereira is a Brazilian, his coaching style is extremely conservative. This is because he abandoned No. 10 Lai and switched to defensive midfielder Dunga as the captain of the field. The team almost relies entirely on the personal abilities of two super forwards, Romario and Bebeto, when attacking."

"Not to mention Italy, the old man Saki is able to lead Italy to the finals now because of the outstanding performance of the two players - goalkeeper Paliuca and forward Robert Baggio."

"So, I think that under the conservative tactical arrangement of these two head coaches, this US World Cup final may be the most interesting game in the history of the entire World Cup." Zhuang Mingge made a simple analysis. "It is precisely because both coaches attach importance to defense that they will not invest too much force in offense, allowing Baggio or Romario to face the opponent's entire defense line from the beginning of the midfield? Haha, I don't think they have such strong personal abilities."

"By the way, Antonio, I looked at the list of the best scorers offered by Southeast Asians. Why are there only fifteen people on it?" Groz raised his doubts.

"Whether it is the best scorer or the best player's handicap is targeted at the World Cup players, but there are so many players, not everyone can have independent handicaps. Only those players who have a single bet of more than $1 million will be allowed to give these Southeast Asian gambling banks specific gambling odds for these players." Zhuang Mingge carefully explained to "ball blind" Groz Jr.

"The lower limit of $1 million? No wonder, those Southeast Asians have only fifteen candidates for the best scorer, and only twelve of the best players."

"That's right, that's it! But why did I let the Southeast Asians' wishful thinking succeed?! It's enough to give them face without ruthlessness!" Speaking of this, countless images flashed through Zhuang Mingge's mind, such as the scandals of Southeast Asian football betting groups buying European players to play fake football, such as the massacre of Chinese people in Indonesia a few years later, and the Philippine anti-Chinese incident that happened in the year before traveling through time...

"Antonio, sorry, we promised not to ask you for details, hehe, but we are really a little curious!" Rosela Sensi, who also works in a football club, knew very clearly that the suspense of guessing the best scorer is much more difficult than guessing the single-game score before.

Zhuang Mingge, who was questioned repeatedly by many girls, finally defended the last "suspense". He thought that he could only master the World Cup in the United States, for him, wasn't it another suspense test!

"Tony, I remember that the Southeast Asian gambling house seemed to have a handicap where no one scored in 90 minutes. However, this handicap is relatively unpopular. I remember yesterday's odds were 1 and 3. Do you think the final will enter overtime or even... a penalty shootout?" Carefully Karin inferred an "extreme" result from Zhuang Mingge's words. Although she had never thought that Zhuang Mingge would think that such a score would appear in this final, nor did she pay attention to this special handicap. She just habitually paid attention to the changes in the odds of each handicap in the final every day, so she can keep up with Zhuang Mingge's ideas now.

"Haha, that's right, I'm betting on this handicap."

"Sorry, Antonio, disturb me, can you explain the reason for betting like this?" The question was still the "ball blind lady" Groz, the young man who asked suddenly.

"How to say... I am optimistic about Italy's defense, just like I am optimistic about Brazil's offense." Although this is nonsense in many cases, it is definitely an appropriate explanation for Groz at this time.

This is a battle between spears and shields. Such a contest itself can be concluded through theoretical quantification, but it is difficult to distinguish the top and bottom of the World Cup finals in the scorching sun and heavy pressure. This contradiction applies to the Italian front line, which is supported by Baggio alone and the Brazilian defense line that is covered by the light by the combination of "Romario-Berbeto".

...

On July 17, the World Cup final was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in California!

"Mr. Bailey, who do you think will win the Hercules Cup in Italy or Brazil?" At this time, the Brazilian football king Bailey, who was interviewed by an Italian reporter before the game, appeared on the TV broadcast.

"Well, although I hope it is Brazil, I am more optimistic that Italy will win the final championship..."

"Oh, my God! This Brazilian actually thinks that Italy will win the championship, poor Italy!" The Italian reporter who conducted this interview was very helpless about the "crawling" football king, and he had to pray secretly for his country in his heart.

The scorching sun cannot stop the joyful ocean formed by fans. The dancing yellow and flowing blue, the rose bowl will witness a real showdown. This day is a festival for fans all over the world!

The lineup of both sides was completely expected. Brazil was led by Romario and Bebeto, with Santos, Aldal, Blanco and Jurgenho in the back, and midfielders such as captain Dunga responded in the center; in Italy, Bareci, who was injured in the group stage, made a magical comeback. Martini repeated the trajectory of this year's Champions League final, partnering with his captain Bareci in the club, with Sampdoria goalkeeper Palioca who was suspended for three games, replaced Cegiani as the starting point, as well as Tassoti, Benarivo, Albertini, Dino Baggio, Berti, Donadoni, Saro... and Robert Baggio with a thick bandage on his right leg.

...

"Damn it! You guys, tell me what happened to be the order for Bet Salenko to become the best scorer for the $2 million bet?!" Comrade Susilo from Bali roared angrily at his men.

"Well, this, Manager Sucilo, don't you have 45 minutes left in the second half? Don't worry, I think the two strikers, Robert Baggio and Romario, should be able to score."

A subordinate of Susilo carefully soothes his boss's emotions. The Sarenko, who appeared in the World Cup, made everyone present very depressed. At the beginning of the World Cup, when they just received the bet, everyone here was very happy, thinking that the two million dollars were simply a free lunch thrown by God. But no one expected that in the last round of the group stage, the Russian striker who had never shown any sign of water before actually scored five goals in one breath and dominated the scorer list with six goals.

Later, Stoickov also scored six goals after the World Cup semi-finals, tied for the top scorer with Salenko. He could lead the way by himself as long as he scored another goal in the third and fourth finals. But what disappointed Susilo was that the Bulgarian actually did not appear due to "mood problems"!

Therefore, on the scorer list, only five goals are expected to surpass Salenco, and Romario and Robert Baggio remain in the second half.

While Susilo and others were terrified of the winner of the Golden Boot Award, the last game of the US World Cup had already reached the second half. Brazil gradually took the initiative on the field. Cafu, who replaced Jurgenho, became a new highlight of the Brazilian team. He threatened Italy's goal many times through the bottom cross on the right. The experienced Italian defense line, led by Baresi, successfully frozen the opponent's arrow characters Romario and Bebeto. The Brazilian team's vigorous offensive was in front of the concrete defense that the Italians used, and everything seemed to be safe...

The game entered overtime, and Blanco's shot hit the goal post, which shocked Paliuca in a cold sweat...

Dou! As the whistle sounded at the end of overtime, the thrilling penalty kick final battle finally came!

Susilo, who also heard the whistle from the TV, felt sweet in his throat and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Chapter completed!
