Entertainment Starting From Operation Red Sea

Chapter 1188 Kick-off (please collect, recommend and vote, please vote monthly)

Although BOPE's action this time made a lot of noise, it did not cause any ripples among ordinary people.

First of all, because everyone’s attention is focused on the World Cup, and of course the Rio government has implemented news control to a certain extent.

Although this will not fundamentally solve the drug problem in Rio, at least during this period the streets of Rio will be much cleaner.

As for the complaints from addicts, Xu Chuan doesn't think these garbage are important.

Anyway, as long as he can't see these eyesores, that's fine.

The 20th World Cup was held as scheduled on June 20. On this day, the streets of Rio de Janeiro were almost full of fans.

The Maracanã Stadium was even more crowded, and the stadium, which can accommodate 78,000 people, was packed.

Sheila just arrived this morning. She and two other Brazilian singers will sing the theme song of this World Cup, Weareone (We Are Family) at the opening ceremony.

If the original plan of the organizing committee was followed, this song should have invited a Brazilian-American singer.

However, the song Wewillrockyou originally scheduled to be sung by Shera was changed to a chorus by a hundred-member band.

Of course Xu Chuan asked the organizing committee to change the singer of the theme song to Xue La.

Of course, this caused dissatisfaction with the original singer. The woman did not dare to say anything about Xu Chuan, but kept attacking Xue La on various talk shows.

But everyone knows that whoever grabs this kind of resource belongs to whom. Sheila has been in the industry for many years and knows that the other person is just jealous.

However, when the reporter's microphone was put into Xu Chuan's face and asked this question, he was still a little confused.

"What singer? Do I know him?"

These two rhetorical questions left reporters wondering how to raise the questions that would later lead to controversy.

At this time, Swager stepped forward to block the reporter, and only then did Xu Chuan and Xue La rush out of the siege.

"Hahaha…"

Sheila laughed heartily as she walked into the stadium box.

"Honey, when Jennifer sees your interview, she will be so angry that she becomes incontinent."

Peers are naked hatred, this sentence is absolutely correct.

Xu Chuan spread his hands, "I really don't know her, and I don't plan to know her."

He generally pays little attention to irrelevant people.

However, these words were very helpful to Xue La. The woman jumped directly on Xu Chuan, and the two of them kissed each other as if no one was watching.

Swager opened the door and saw these two **** men and women. They were either entering or not.

In the end, Allen Wayne arrived and disturbed the interest of these two people.

Otherwise, it seems quite exciting in front of tens of thousands of people.

Allen, the guy, directly stated that he had not tried this kind of gameplay yet and planned to try it now.

Tsk, his wife Margot Fuchs' face looked a little embarrassed.

Unlike the Olympic Games, the opening ceremony of the World Cup lasts only half an hour, followed by the first game.

Due to its length, the content of the opening ceremony was very simple, opening with a large dance medley promoting Brazilian Samba culture.

Then there was a group of children wearing the uniforms of 32 teams performing a ball game.

The time after that became a large-scale MV scene, and Xu Chuan's four songs were strung together by them.

Damn, Xu Chuan felt a little embarrassed just looking at it.

However, the feeling of "We Will Rock You" being sung by hundreds of rock singers was still very shocking.

After the last theme song Weareone was sung, the big screen showed Xu Chuan, who was covering his face as if he wanted to die.

All the fans burst into laughter.

The brief opening ceremony ended with the opening match between Brazil and Croatia.

All the Brazilian fans were excitedly waiting for the game to start. As a traditional strong team, they felt that there was no problem in defeating the opponent at home.

Moreover, the team has so many superstars that it is necessary not only to win but also to win beautifully and heartily.

Now the handicap given by the gambling company shows that all parties are indeed more optimistic about Brazil.

The two teams entered the stadium, and the Brazilian team was greeted by the cheers of tens of thousands of people.

Fans generally believe that this World Cup is their chance to add another star to their chest.

And the chances are great.

The teams from both sides began to warm up, and people from the organizing committee informed Xu Chuan to be ready for kick-off.

Xu Chuan's attitude towards this matter has always been indifferent. Although it is a very honorable thing in the eyes of others, it is more like a trouble in his eyes.

Near the start of the game, Swager, who was responsible for Xu Chuan's safety, returned to the box.

"Bell, I have checked all the suspicious locations, there should be no problem."

What this guy said is absolutely convincing. If he says there is no problem, then there must be no problem.

"Pike is right across the way, he's got the high ground and he's got the whole field under his radar."

Swagger pointed to a building that could be seen from the box window.

This time Parker acted as a sniper, while Swager used his experience to eliminate risks at the scene.

With these two professionals here, Xu Chuan was of course very relieved.

The game was about to start, and he followed the staff from the players' tunnel into the lawn of the Maracana Stadium.

The whole audience burst into warm applause. A session like kick-off is a ritual.

In fact, all the invited guests need to do is touch the ball, which represents the official start of the entire match schedule.

But Young Master Xu thinks this is too boring, he's here already, isn't he?

He glanced at the position of the home team's goal and already calculated the relevant data in his mind.

54 meters, gentle breeze…

Then he raised his thigh and kicked the football away with a round kick.

The organizing committee member who accompanied him widened his eyes. This was really the first time someone had kicked off the ball like this.

The more than 70,000 people present watched the football cross the half-court. The goalkeeper who was standing in front of the goal to warm up saw the football flying over and subconsciously jumped up and made a lifting motion, trying to hit the ball past the baseline.

However, he did not expect that the angle of the ball was so tricky. Although his hand touched the ball, it eventually slipped past his fingertips and he fell completely on the turf.

The football fell on the turf, jumped twice, and slowly rolled into the net.

Tsk, the power is a little bit smaller.

Xu Chuan put his hands on his hips and shook his head gently.

The entire audience was stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.

This must be the first time someone has kicked off the ball like this.

However, no one paid attention to the goalkeeper who got up from the ground, holding his hands on his waist, with a somewhat painful expression on his face.

Xu Chuan's unusual kick was broadcast all over the world through television cameras.

It's still early morning in China, but there are a lot of fans watching the live broadcast on TV.

"The goal actually went in!"

The voice of the game commentator seemed very excited, "This is the first goal for a Chinese in the World Cup."

All the fans watching the live broadcast almost spat blood on the TV when they heard this sentence that was obviously a joke.

The few girls who knew Xu Chuan would appear were still awake, watching the rare football match.

After seeing him come up with new tricks, everyone was surprised. It seemed that this person would be abnormal if he didn't do this.

After that, the game continued normally, and there is no need to describe the process. The two sides ended the 90-minute game at 2:2.

Brazil was unexpectedly tied and the goalkeeper's performance was a bit abnormal. Both goals conceded were related to his mistakes.

When he left the stage, he received the most boos.

It's just that he's not in the mood to pay attention to this, as his back hurts badly now.

Xu Chuan certainly did not expect that one of his unintentional actions would have serious consequences.

Well, if he knew, he would definitely buy Brazil to lose in advance.

Now that the kickoff has been completed, his mission is accomplished.

After that, he had several interviews to attend in Rio, and he accepted this one on his own initiative.

Because Umbrella began to appear in the foreground, he needed to take the initiative in public opinion first.

He needed people to differentiate Umbrella from other PMC companies.

Then your good reputation is one of the means that you can use.

The company has developed to this point, and it no longer makes sense for Xu Chuan to hide behind it.

He needs people to focus on him, even if it's his tidbits.

People need a personality, and a company also needs a personality.

As the saying goes, most people will bring Xu Chuan's character and character into his company.

He has always given people the impression of being young, talented, well-behaved, lustful and possessed by bad luck.

Well, the last two can be ignored for now.

A defense company run by a talented and disciplined young man will definitely not be like those mercenaries who do things that violate laws and disciplines and everyone calls for beatings.

Just like the food issue he often mentioned in recent interviews, it is to build momentum for their African projects.

It is also telling others that although Umbrella is a defense company, they are a defense company that pays more attention to local people's livelihood and is willing to build a better local area.

What they export is not war, but security.

If anyone really investigates, they will know that the areas where several of their bases are located, such as the oil-producing area of ​​Lipia and the Golden Triangle area, are no longer as dilapidated and chaotic as they were back then.

All in all, he wanted to package Umbrella into a harmless image.

"Umbrella is a defensive company. It is different from Blackwater, Armor Group or other defense companies. We will never take the initiative to attack."

"Just like Nansudan, Umbrella exists because the company has a lot of investment there."

"Most of the fighting took place around our camps and the villages we protected."

"If you inquire, you will know how well Umbrella is treated in the industry. How could I treat highly paid employees as consumables on a meaningless battlefield."

"I think all the problems in Nansudan are food problems. It's hard for me to understand that a country with a large area of ​​arable land and a population of only 10 million cannot be self-sufficient in food rations."

"Yes, this is what we will do next, to help Nansudan achieve this goal within two to three years."

Xu Chuan talks freely in front of the camera, almost portraying Umbrella as a savior.
