Now was the time to pay the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many said China’s late extra-time goal against Spain wouldn’t have happened without the fans’ bets helping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sacrifice flow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If China beats Spain, I’ll confess to my desk mate; if China beats Spain, I’ll run 800 meters naked on the track; if China beats Spain… and so on—pretty much all variations of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to a bizarre phenomenon: on the night of December 5th, strange incidents occurred across the country, so bizarre you’d doubt whether humans were even behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, what the hell is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Douyin video with over 1.7 million likes; the scene looked like it was filmed at some university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female student filming let out a gasp—viewers initially had no idea what she was reacting to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon they saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, on the track field, seven or eight security guards chased a blurred object, a group sprinting rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was inside that blur?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video’s filmer gave the answer with his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, how is someone running naked…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chase him!

Asia cannot catch up to Europe for at least several decades.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a livestream, the editor-in-chief of The Sun shared his view with his newspaper’s fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for China beating Spain… well, it was indeed an astonishing match, China’s performance was outstanding.

Any competent coach could lead today’s Manchester United to win titles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronaldo made a series of remarks targeting Ten Hag during the summer transfer window; everyone just laughed it off, since Ten Hag’s trophy count wasn’t something to joke about. Though Ten Hag liked to talk big, most fans still recognized his transfer window insight and tactical ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, every event over the past six months has confirmed everything Ronaldo said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is going on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky Sports commentator Jensen: In my memory, Ronaldo rarely says anything wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FIFA official: Tang Ye’s scissors kick long-range shot in China vs Spain was voted the best goal of the Round of 16.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reposted from FIFA official: Best player of the Round of 16 is China’s midfielder Tang Ye—he scored one goal and provided one assist in the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Match preview: Beijing time, December 10, 3:00 AM, China’s national team faces Netherlands in the quarterfinals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qatar, Al Khor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China’s quarterfinal venue is the Bayt Stadium; for every player on China’s team, this stadium is unfamiliar—they have zero experience playing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good news: China has already broken its own national team record, so most players aren’t feeling particularly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-20T06:50:12.695Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f29a11295959155ed732b5d1df2e110f0080daa0149eb6b06ac199d7d29046c2","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-868","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-866",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-cover.jpg"]
