Chapter 234: Shanghai Fantasy
Just as the head coach had just finished advising all the players not to feel too much pressure during the match because it was a commercial friendly game, with a noticeable gap in strength between the two teams, and therefore, the outcome was well-known to many.
It was clear from the start that today’s game was purely a commercial spectacle. Both teams were sure to score, and there would be plenty of goals, but the final result would either be a draw or a win for Real Madrid by one goal.
The so-called commercial spectacle aimed to entertain the spectators, and the only thing that could resonate with the audience was goals—continuously scoring goals.
If neither team scored throughout the match, it wouldn’t be a commercial game at all because it would lack any entertainment value!
“Everyone, please wait a moment!” Zhao Chengxiang, the club’s head, called out suddenly after answering a phone call, halting the players and coaches who were preparing to enter the field.
Upon hearing Zhao Chengxiang’s shout, everyone immediately stopped moving. Zhao Chengxiang then quickly conveyed what Wu Hao had informed him of over the phone.
“I just received a call from the boss. He wants us to give our all during the match. The boss said he doesn’t want a draw or a loss but a victory. So, everyone needs to be fully focused and give their best in the game. Don’t think that the opponent will go easy on us. The boss also said that if we win the match, not only will there be goal bonuses, but an additional 20 million will be awarded to all players and staff.”
Wu Hao himself didn’t care much about the outcome of the game, but not long ago, his sister Wu Xiaoxiao’s words changed his mind. To avoid disappointing his sister by losing, Wu Hao decided that he would ensure the team’s victory, even if it meant cheating.
