The European Championship opened as scheduled. In the venue, Joseph watched the incoming football powers compete for each other on the venue, and inexplicably had some concerns about his players.

Although Joseph was very happy to bet, he actually had no confidence in his players. Although the first enemy of the Principality of Nord was not a strong team, he was not weak - the fourth-rate football country Northern Ireland. Most of Joseph's bets were invested here. There was just a performance in Northern Ireland, depending on the situation... Joseph's chances of losing that 15 million euros are very high.

"Your Highness..."

"It's okay, let our players relax and don't be under too much pressure."

As if he saw Joseph's expression was a little bad, the general manager of the football club came to him and greeted him with some concern. Most of the players already knew about the 15 million bet. Of course, they did not put pressure on these players as Joseph thought. The only thing they had was excitement and pride, and were proud of their grand duke's new appointment.

Similarly, in this case, the club's general manager naturally did not come to ensure anything. In fact, he wanted to make Joseph more confident, because this would affect the development of the players, but he was blocked by Joseph's words as soon as he opened his mouth.

Explanation? How to explain this? Could it be that your highness is not under pressure for the tens of millions of dollars, but is worried that the expression on your face will be seen by the players and will affect their performance of their strength?

Don't joke, isn't that embarrassing Joseph? Therefore, the general manager would rather let Joseph misunderstand, and say a few words to Joseph calmly and then dismiss him and adapt the dialogue to encourage the players.

"Gentlemen, although we are not professional teams, I believe in your abilities, just as His Majesty the Grand Duke believes in you. Please tell me, will His Majesty the Grand Duke disappoint you?"

"No! We are Nord Royal Club players, we will win the first championship!"

OK! The player who said this is just a nonsense, because even the general manager of the club himself does not expect to win any championship. Perhaps being able to enter the top 16 is already a great reward from God.

The Royal Club of the Principality of Nord has not yet demonstrated its abilities and is naturally classified as a fifth-rate team, which is in the same level as Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, San Marino and others.

It can be said that the first time it was arranged for the Duchy of Nord to have a four-rate football opponent in the Duchy of Nord, which is beyond the expectations of most people. Is this important or targeted? To be honest, there is no answer, everything can only be decided by the final result.

bump!

A powerful shot made Joseph's heart tremble. This is nonsense! When was the Northern Ireland team in the fourth-rate football country so strong that it could beat the Hungarian team?

Player No. 9, who scored goals in the venue, ran around the stadium frantically. He was indeed qualified to do so because the goal difference allowed the situation to tie and the Northern Ireland team had a chance to win.

The venue was full of excitement, and Joseph became more and more worried about the situation of Nord's team and looked in the direction of the team... Okay! Those heartless guys were clapping their hands and shouting happily, they were indeed amateur players!

Joseph is not very clear about football itself, and he can't understand any fouls, yellow cards, etc., but it's always right that the numbers above are. Whoever scores higher is the final winner, and scoring is the key to score points.

After that powerful shot, the No. 9 player seemed to have no outstanding performance, no goals, and no balls under his feet. The teams on both sides ran back and forth to each other.

Just as Joseph was thinking about whether the two sides would be even and then the extra game, the No. 9 player once again showed his power, receiving the ball, dribbling the ball, rushing hard, bypassing one blocking person after another, swaying, volleying, and scoring!

There is no doubt that Northern Ireland won with a 15:14 record, and the venue was completely boiling, and Joseph began to feel disheartened. He encountered such a strong opponent from the beginning, and maybe he would have to fail in shame in the first game! Now Joseph only hopes that the Principality of Nord can lose more decently, which can be regarded as giving him a little face.

What is Nord Royal Players Club doing at this time? It is necessary to discuss the opponent, but Joseph probably couldn't imagine what the specific content they discussed was.

"The Nine played well. I will also be cool when we play tomorrow. Let my wife take a closer look. Manager, this should be live broadcast!"

The general manager of the club was a little amused by the group of amateur soldiers and generals under his command. Although he knew that their level was good, he was really careless...

When the players saw the club manager's appearance, they knew what he wanted to say, so they couldn't help but despise and said with disdainful sarcasm: "Your Majesty is very confident in us. Manager, don't you believe in Your Majesty's vision?"

"I……"

If possible, the club manager really wanted to tell them the real situation of Joseph, but he would give up after thinking about it! After all, he was the person in charge, and the person who looked the most unsightly in his face when losing the game was himself.

"I hope you will be as good as you are in the venue tomorrow as you are now. Don't forget that you will also bet on your own and win, that's a lot of money."

The club manager's original intention is to use money to make them more careful. After all, when a horse breaks, if they are not as powerful as they estimate, wouldn't they lose a lot of money?

Can……

"What a wonderful bonus, I can't wait to hold them in my arms. Little John, how much do you bet, I have crushed 600 euros. If you can win this time, then there will be more than 4,000 euros after tax deduction. More than 4,000 euros, we can go to Moulin Mound to have fun."

"Yes, yes! There are several thousand euros bonuses. I can go to Germany and beer at will, or go to Ukraine to eat sausages. No, no, the situation in Eastern Europe is still unclear, so I can't go for the time being."

In an instant, the players in the room became a quarrel, but all of them were not about what happened after the bonus. The club manager was really helpless and shook his head and turned around and left.

When the general manager reported to Joseph the team's situation according to common sense, Joseph also asked the team's players' status according to common sense. At that time, the general manager was a little stunned because he didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only smile and say that he was in good condition.

Joseph clearly misunderstood what the general manager wanted to express, and he thought the player's morale was very low as he guessed, so he comforted him and asked if he wanted him to go over and help calm the player's mood.
