Chapter 282: Powerful groupies!
The three major European gambling companies opened for Tang Jue's 100 goals, with odds of 1:5.2. Some media analyzed that the gambling company is not optimistic that he can accomplish this feat. Scoring nine goals in four games is a very difficult thing in itself, let alone who can guarantee that Tang Jue will not be injured in the remaining games.
If he is injured and cannot play, how can he complete the goal?
...
The predecessor of the Club World Cup is called Toyota Cup. The Toyota Cup is sponsored by Toyota and hosted by the Japanese Football Association. It competes for the European Champions League and the Liberators Cup every year. Since 1980, the venue of the competition has been fixed at the Tokyo National Arena in Tokyo, Japan, and was held at the Yokohama International Comprehensive Arena after 2001.
In 2000, FIFA was preparing to expand the scope of participating teams, and the international football championships participated in by the top clubs on six continents. In 2000, the club World Cup was held, but the event was later cancelled due to sponsor issues. It was not until the 2005 Club World Cup was restarted.
People are used to using the December 2005 competition as the first Club World Cup. The reopened Club World Cup was officially held in Japan in 2005, and each subsequent event was held in Japan. Toyota is still an important sponsor of the event.
On the evening of the 20th, the night before the World Cup final, Toyota came forward to host a cocktail party and invited the two teams entering the final to participate.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the two teams appeared at the reception on time. The hall of more than 200 square meters was magnificent. The waiter had already set up wine glasses and various snacks and snacks. Tulam and other foodies excitedly placed all kinds of snacks and snacks on the plate. Tang Jue sat on the sofa with the glasses and Kaka, smiling at the foodies.
"It's delicious, Tang, don't you come and try it?" Ribery sat next to Tang Jue with a plate in his hand.
"Come on, Kaka, this rice ball is good, come and try it!" Ribery's voice was vague because his mouth was filled with food.
The two of them smiled and shook their heads, Kaka said, "It's delicious, just eat more."
Although the cocktail party tonight was to enhance communication between the two teams, they didn't know each other before. So there was not much communication between the players of the two teams. People kept coming in, including FIFA officials and organizing committee officials, but they were basically men.
At this time, a beauty appeared with slender eyebrows, melon-shaped face, and a long black dress, which set off her skin becoming more fair. Tang Jue frowned slightly, and Ribery shouted: "There is a beauty!"
Kaka and others looked at Tang Jue with gloating. Henry said in a low voice: "Tang, your charm is unstoppable. The star-chasing has come here. You have to seize the opportunity!"
Tang Jue shook his head and said nothing. Toyota Nobuko is from Toyota's family. Tonight's cocktail party was hosted by Toyota. It is normal for her to appear here.
The appearance of Toyota Nobuko was like a bouquet of flowers suddenly appeared on the grassland, adding a hint of bright color. Almost everyone looked at her. Nobuko seemed very confident, with a quiet smile on her face, and bowed politely to the organizing committee officials who came to ask for it.
Under the leadership of the organizing committee members, Xinzi met FIFA officials. Ribery whispered in Tang Jue's ear: "Tang, her performance tonight is very different from that three days ago."
Three days ago, Xinzi came to the hotel where Real Madrid was staying. She was domineering and wanted to meet Tang Jue, and even almost kicked the hotel security guard. Xinzi seemed very well-educated tonight, which was indeed a strong contrast. Tang Jue didn't believe that this was Xinzi's true appearance, and said with a purse: "Pretended."
Kaka thought for a while and said, "Dang, I think this cocktail party tonight may be specially prepared for you."
There was doubt in Henry and others' eyes, and Tang Jue frowned and asked, "What does this mean? Didn't there be such a cocktail party last year?"
This is not the first time Tang Jue participated in the Club World Cup. Milan won the Champions League two years ago and came here to represent Europe to participate in the Club World Cup. There was no cocktail party at that time. As for last year, Tang Jue had already transferred to Real Madrid, so he did not come here.
Kaka nodded and said, "No last year."
Then, the facts are obvious. Everyone knows the real reason behind tonight's cocktail party. Ribery slowly turned his head, looked at Tang Jue, and said with some grief and anger: "Tang, you can't do this. All the beauties are surrounding you, leaving us a way out."
Tang Jue snorted coldly and said, "She is there. Go, I'm not interested in her."
Ribery pursed and said, "It's you who are chasing you, what am I going to do?"
At this time, Xinzi walked slowly with a wine glass. Kaka and others patted Tang Jue's shoulder and walked away tactfully. Xinzi nodded slightly to Kaka and others, with a thank you in his eyes. Tang Jue shook his head and came, what are you afraid of? Women are not tigers.
Xinzi sat gracefully beside Tang Jue, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose.
"Hello, let's get to know each other officially, Toyota Nobuko, you can call me Nobuko." Nobuko said politely.
Tang Jue thought for a moment, felt that he could not be rude, and said lightly: "My name is Tang Jue."
Nobuzi frowned slightly on his face and said softly: "You seem to hate me very much. I apologize for my recklessness three days ago."
Hate? Hate it, but the first impression is not very good. The domineering three days ago and the politeness now are indeed too different. Well, everyone has apologized, so you can't just be stern.
Tang Jue said: "It's not annoying, but I don't like domineering people."
Xinzi blinked and said gently: "I will change it in the future."
Her expression and voice were like a young wife making a mistake and asking her husband for forgiveness. Tang Jue couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Can you stop talking like this? We are actually not very familiar with each other."
Nobuko was not angry and said softly: "From now on, we will be familiar with each other. I will let you see my gentle side."
Originally, Xinzi wanted to know Tang Jue, but was just curious, or she just wanted to ask for an autograph or take a photo like an ordinary fan. However, after she reported her identity in the hotel, Tang Jue did not give her face at all. This made her feel novel.
Some people say that the less easy things to get, the greater the interest of people. People like Xinzi don’t get many things in this world, and Tang Jue’s refusal aroused her great interest.
"I have a girlfriend, I think you should know this. In addition, Alice and I have a good relationship. If you don't have a chance, I won't give you a chance." Tang Jue said very bluntly.
Tang Jue's words seemed to inspire Xinzi's fighting spirit, and her chest suddenly stood up. But she immediately looked gentle again and said softly: "I was just curious about you. Now I am determined to pursue you. As long as you and Alice are not married, I have a chance."
"No," she immediately denied herself, "Even if you get married, I will not give up. This is the life pursuit I have set for myself now!"
Strong. Nobuko showed the strength and confidence of a big family like them at this moment.
"I can create opportunities without a chance. Just like tonight." Xinzi showed a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Tang Jue's face carefully, as if he wanted to find his true thoughts on it.
The speculation became a reality. Tonight's cocktail party was indeed a special cocktail party held by Xinzi to get close to Tang Jue. Tang Jue's eyes were surprised, and then he returned to normal.
Tang Jue's previous life experience told him that this kind of rich girl is just to show off her best friend to show off her love. There is no love at all. A rich girl's marriage is not dominated by herself, but to serve the family's interests.
Besides, Tang Jue and Alice have a really good relationship. Since he and Patrick broke up, he can accept the scenes, but he still can't maintain a relationship for a long time. He feels sorry for Alice and for her silent dedication.
The people at the cocktail party would glance at the two of them from time to time. Those who knew Xinzi's identity had envy in their eyes. Tang Jue looked up at the people and said lightly: "If I knew the real purpose of the cocktail party, I wouldn't have come."
Nobuko's eyes showed depression and sighed softly and said, "Do you really hate me so much? Apart from the incident three days ago, are there any other reasons? Is it because I am Japanese?"
Japanese? It seems that this excuse is good.
Tang Jue nodded and said, "Yes, you know I am Chinese. Chinese naturally have a sense of hatred towards Japanese people, so you don't have to worry about it. There are many young talents waiting for you outside, and they will treat you as a princess."
Nobuko sighed softly and said, "Maybe, but I don't have any interest in them. As for the hatred between Chinese and Japanese, I think that is not an obstacle between us. Some people say that love can transcend national boundaries and transcend racial hatred."
Tang Jue was about to be unable to hold back. He coughed softly twice, looked at Xinzi's slender eyebrows, and said, "Xinzi, if we don't change the topic, there is really no possibility between us. Alice and I have a very good relationship, and I love her very much."
Since he wanted to see his gentle side, Nobuko's follower said softly: "Okay, let's talk about other topics. By the way, I'm going to Madrid in a few days to talk about sponsorship with Real Madrid. I hope I can invite you to dinner at the time."
"You want to sponsor Real Madrid? Isn't Real Madrid sponsored by Mercedes-Benz?" Tang Jue asked strangely.
Xinzi raised his lips slightly and said, "The sponsorship contract between Mercedes-Benz and Real Madrid has expired and is now negotiating a new contract. After the European financial crisis, Mercedes-Benz's performance is declining. They want to reduce sponsorship fees, which is a good opportunity for us."
Tang Jue nodded. This is indeed true. Toyota is one of the few companies that can still make money and even expand its market share during the European financial crisis. If Real Madrid is won, it will be a good thing for Toyota and can expand their influence.
Xinzi looked at Tang Jue's eyes and said softly: "If I say this is also to create an opportunity to meet you, do you believe it?"
Tang Jue was stunned and shook his head.
A light suddenly burst out in Xinzi's eyes, as if he had thought of something good. Tang Jue had a bad premonition and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Nobuzi smiled and said, "You will know when it's time!"
"Come on! Cheers, it's a great honor to see you!" (To be continued...)
