Chapter 571 Who agrees and who opposes?
Although there is a word "World" in the Club World Cup, the Asian and African teams are basically not at the same level as the Champions League teams.
Even the teams in the current South American League are the same.
Since 2007, in the past 13 years, only Corinthians defeated the Champions League champion Chelsea 2012-1 in 0 and won the Club World Cup.
For the remaining 12 years, it was monopolized by the Champions League champions.
Among them, Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona have won the most, accounting for half of the country.
Driven by "Golden Dollar Football", South American football has been hollowed out by European football giants early on. The strength of each other is very different, and the suspense of the game is not great.
The strength of the teams is very different, but it does not affect the widespread attention received by the Club World Cup.
The teams participating in the Club World Cup are champion teams from all continents with diverse backgrounds, making the event widely influential and representative.
Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals is the Cairo Nationals, champions of the African Champions League and Egyptian Super League.
Real Madrid, who played half of the main force, had a difficult time in the game.
It doesn't matter how strong the opponent is, even if Real Madrid sends a second team, they can easily win.
It is difficult because they often use fouls to stop Real Madrid's attacks.
To the anger of the Real Madrid players, the referee Hassan's whistle was very loose.
Facing the chaotic shoveling of the Cairo Nationals, there was no yellow card in the first half, which made the Real Madrid players who returned to the locker room extremely dissatisfied.
*****
The Real Madrid locker room was filled with beep-beep-cursing sounds.
Zidane, who has always been calm, was also very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty scale in the first half.
Fouls are small, injuries are big.
Real Madrid, without a winter break, has participated in the Western Super Cup and the Club World Cup successively, and the players are already very tired.
If a main player is injured, it will directly affect Real Madrid's second half of the game.
A quick decision is Zidane's strategy at halftime.
Set-piece offense is Real Madrid's offensive tactic in the second half.
Not only that, but he also asked Rossi to warm up at the beginning of the second half.
Set-piece offensive tactics require the ability to compete for the top and grab two points.
Rossi is precisely this kind of top existence.
In the 60th minute, Rossi came off the bench and replaced Rodrygo.
Real Madrid conducts offensive and defensive drills in the opponent's half, and the opponent can only rely on non-stop fouls to prevent Real Madrid from attacking.
drop!
The foul whistle blew again, and Bell was directly tackled to the ground on the right.
Shhh!
Boos all over the sky, expressing the fans' disdain for this dirty way of playing.
The captain of Real Madrid threw his chest at the opponent directly angrily.
For a moment, the contradictions and dissatisfaction that had been silent for a long time broke out in an instant.
Under the leadership of the captain, the Real Madrid players surrounded the ruthless Cairo national players, one by one like wild beasts, trying to eat each other alive.
Even if the referee personally played the horse, Ramos would never back down.
"This is a hurtful, hurtful action, why don't you play cards!"
As Rossi spoke, he raised his hand and shook it, putting pressure on the referee.
Under the tremendous pressure, any warning from the referee Hassan seemed a little weak, and even he himself couldn't convince himself whether he should play his cards when he fell to the ground.
But in the end, Hassan took out a yellow card with a trace of panic, and gave the fouled Cairo national player Soraya and Ramos and Rossi who took the lead in putting pressure on the referee.
But in the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans around the world, Hassan's move is undoubtedly cowardly.
The game resumed after a 2-minute break.
Real Madrid got a well-positioned frontcourt set-piece, which could be passed or shot directly.
Left-footed players can create better arcs if they shoot directly.
But at this time, Bell was receiving treatment on the sidelines. The foul just now made him feel uncomfortable in his ankle.
Rossi came to the penalty spot, ready to take the set kick.
This is Real Madrid's 10th opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt so far.
Direct shot?
There is no doubt that Rossi appeared in front of the penalty spot, it must be a direct shot.
He has such a skill.
Goalkeeper Shinawi is earnestly directing his position on the wall, straightening his gloves, looking forward, with his body center of gravity slightly to the left, defending the near corner, and ready for battle.
After the whistle blew, Rossi took a few short run-up steps and slammed his right foot on the ball.
boom!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of touching the ball, the ball drew an arc and shot away.
Surprisingly, this shot did not go straight to the near corner, but flew to the far corner.
Counter-angle free kick!
Shinawi was taken aback, and hastily adjusted his body's center of gravity, but it was too late, and his right hand flustered upwards, trying to block the shot.
It's all in vain.
When he thought Rossi would go for the close corner, he was doomed.
The whistling ball went straight to the dead corner, smashing the goal that the Cairo Nationals had been defending for 65 minutes.
yeah! ! ! ! ! !
Even more intense than the cheers of the fans at the scene were the shouts from Real Madrid players.
For a full 65 minutes, under the savage fouls of their opponents and within the loose scale of the referee, they swallowed their anger, and their state was delayed.
Rossi's free kick directly scored the goal, as if injecting a booster, turned on their status switch, and vented all kinds of dissatisfaction with a roar.
Ramos hammered his chest angrily and raised his arms towards the Real Madrid fan area, inciting the fans' emotions.
The whole stadium is like boiling water, and the scalding sound makes people roar and scream with forgetfulness.
This is not only a celebration for the goal, but also a catharsis for the unfairness of Real Madrid throughout the game.
As soon as the goal came, Real Madrid turned on the main offensive switch and launched a wave of super offensive.
In the next 15 minutes, Real Madrid's mercury-laden attack pressed towards the opponent and scored two goals.
In the end, Real Madrid's match against the Cairo Nationals in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup ended 3-0.
Next, the opponent in the final is the Mexican Tigers, the champions of the CONCACAF Champions League.
As the champion of CONCACAF last season, the Mexican Tigers defeated last season's AFC Champions League champion Ulsan Hyundai in the previous game.
Thus, they met in the semi-finals with the directly promoted Copa Libertadores champion Palmeiras.
In this game, the Tigers, who participated in the Club World Cup for the first time, worked hard, and they did not lose the slightest advantage against Palmeiras in offense and defense.
After a goalless first half, the deadlock was broken shortly after the start of the second half.
In the 54th minute, the Tigers got a penalty kick and Gignac scored the only goal of the game.
It is worth mentioning that the Tigers also became the first Central American and Caribbean team to advance to the final of the Club World Cup.
Perhaps it was also because they were able to reach the final for the first time in the competition. At the dinner party after winning Palmeiras, the morale of the players was high and the singing was endless.
Tigers coach Fletti drank some wine, his face flushed.
It's not that he's incapable of drinking, it's that he's too excited.
The prize money for participating in the Club World Cup is 100 million euros, and if you win the championship, there will be another 500 million euros.
This is a lot of money for members of the Tigers.
Felletti believes that it is not impossible to beat Real Madrid and take away the 600 million euro bonus.
When the team's morale was high, Feletti decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"What do you think about the final in four days?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the noisy box instantly fell silent.
Players, you look at me and I look at you, with a hint of excitement in the confusion.
Being able to defeat Real Madrid is definitely the most gold-rich trophy since the establishment of the team.
And they will also become the most popular team in the country because of this battle.
Because they beat the Champions League champions.
Want to return to thinking, but how to do it, they have no idea.
The opponent is Real Madrid. Their No. 7 star, Rossi, is worth more than the entire Tigers team. If there is still room left, they can buy a Palmeiras team.
How to fight this?
Looking at the doubts and confusion in the players' eyes, Ferretti smiled and said: "We can beat Palmeiras, who is worth more than twice our value, why can't we beat Real Madrid. You know, football is round."
Everyone knows the truth, but it is really difficult to do it.
Feletti continued: "Real Madrid is indeed very strong, with first-class players and superb skills, we will face many difficulties."
"But that doesn't mean Real Madrid are invincible."
"The whole world will think that we must lose, or even lose the ball in the first half. But I think we can block Real Madrid's attack!"
Felletti paused, looked at the players, and found that their eyes were incredible, but also curious and shocked.
They are waiting, waiting for the coach to deploy tactics.
A strategy that can beat Real Madrid.
"First of all, Real Madrid has been dragged down by the league, the Champions League and the Western Super Cup before participating in the World Club, and there will be a crisis in physical fitness. This is our opportunity."
The Mexican Tigers are a very young team, and a team that is good at pressing in high positions. This is the team that Real Madrid least likes to meet in the game.
"Then, after Real Madrid ended the Club World Cup, there was no winter break, and they immediately went into the second half of the intense game. The players had no time to adjust and recover. This is a good situation for us."
The player's words to him are still in the fog.
Real Madrid, which is fighting on multiple fronts, will indeed experience a major crisis in physical fitness.
But their second half of the game seems to have nothing to do with the final,
Even if there is, it can't be the reason why the Tigers beat it.
Real Madrid can make up for the physical problems of players through rotation.
"The last point is that Real Madrid will definitely underestimate the enemy. We just seize this psychology and mobilize their restlessness and impatience, and there will definitely be chances to score goals."
"As long as we survive Real Madrid's siege in the first half, there will be gaps in their psychological defense in the second half."
The team didn't understand why the coach said that Real Madrid would have problems in the second half, but they still had confidence to survive the half with their defense.
"I dare to assert that they will definitely improve their offense in the second half, so we will close it appropriately and concentrate on counterattacking."
"Why do you say that? It's because I deduced it from Real Madrid's schedule."
Ferretti said confidently: "After the Club World Cup is over, Real Madrid will play Valencia in three days. They have heavy league tasks and a lot of pressure. They must want to fight quickly and replace the main players to rest."
"Real Madrid wanted to make a quick decision, but we took him out of our own rhythm and dragged him to overtime, or even a penalty kick. This is our chance."
Felletti stood up abruptly, raised her glass high, with a slightly contemptuous smile.
"Now, who is for and who is against the victory over Real Madrid?"
