After the lunch break.

Fang Jue convened the last tactical meeting before the war.

The tactics have been explained several times, mainly to remind you again of some details of the game and what needs to be paid attention to.

In the evening, the entire Aston Villa squad left the hotel for the stadium to the cheers of local fans.

For this Club World Cup final with Santos, Fang Jue did not put pressure on the whole team.

His attitude is like a normal Champions League game.

In fact, in Fang Jue's view, Santos's strength is not necessarily stronger than Aston Villa's opponent in the Champions League group stage.

The biggest problem for Aston Villa was that it was an encounter, Santos' team is a South American team, and Aston Villa lacked experience to play against South American teams.

Upon arrival at the final stadium, the Yokohama Arena, the entire Aston Villa team was greeted by a frenzied cheer from the enthusiastic fans.

Countless fans held up portraits of stars such as Luka Modric, Bale, Suarez, Hamei, James Milner and Clemente, and shouted towards the bus in which the Aston Villa players were riding.

The scene was as hot as boiling water.

Warm up before the game.

Pre-war training and mobilization in the locker room.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans at the scene, the players from both sides entered.

Everything is ready and the game is about to begin.

……

on the pitch.

Clement, as the captain of Aston Villa, was defeated when he guessed the coin with the captain of Santos.

So Santos got the right to pick sides.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, were given the right to kick off.

Players from both sides took a group photo in the stadium.

Behind them is an advertising set for the official partners of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The group photo ends.

Players from both teams stand in the middle of the pitch according to their formation.

A big war is already on the verge of breaking out.

On the big screen at the Yokohama Athletic Complex, the starting lists of Aston Villa and Santos began to play today.

Aston Villa (4-3-3): 1-De Gea/2-Kyle Walker, 15-Papastathopoulos, 6-Senderos, 8-Milner/5-Clemente, 10-Modric, 21-J Ronaldo/7-Bale, 9-Suarez, 22-Thadio. Mane;

"In the three or four finals that ended earlier, the Kashiwa Suns and Al Sadd played 0-0, and finally in the penalty shootout, Al Sadd defeated the host Kashiwa Suns and won the third place in this Club World Cup."

'This is a big game for both Aston Villa and Santos, after European teams drew 25-25 with South American sides in the history of the Club World Cup. He Wei said, "In other words, whichever side can win the championship this time, which side can overpower the other side." ”

'There has never been a record of any head-to-head between the two teams in an official match, and in this game, Aston Villa's line-up was changed from the semi-final, with the team returning to their familiar back four.

"Colombian youngster Cristiano Ronaldo started again, he was loaned to Braga last season, J Ronaldo performed well, and after returning from loan, this good-looking and somewhat shy Colombian lad is increasingly used by Fang Jue."

……

South American teams are characterized by being good at attacking, and defense is not their strong suit, nor is it their style.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the Copa Libertadores champion did not stay and began to put on an offensive posture.

Aston Villa's side are also unconservative, with both sides attacking and attacking.

'Both teams are aggressive, without the usual caution and probation that comes after the start of the final.

It also made fans addicted to the scene and in front of the TV.

'Let's take a look, it's only been less than ten minutes since the start of the game, and there are already several dangerous shots on goal from both sides, including two shots from Aston Villa and three shots from Santos, an average of one shot in two minutes, and the game is very open.

There was a shrill boo from the stands at the Yokohama Athletic Stadium, which was addressed to Aston Villa's defender Milner.

Milner used a very vicious tackle to tackle Neymar with the ball to the ground.

Although Aston Villa's popularity in Japan is very high, however, on Santos's side, Neymar's popularity in Japan is also quite high.

Neymar has been surrounded by the media since his debut, and the continuous media exposure has made his fame very high from the moment he debuted.

In this way, perhaps many people have heard of Neymar's name before they have not seen him play.

Neymar plays for the parent club of Pele, Brazil's Santos FC.

The Brazilian media, and even the global media, are paying attention to this talented teenager in the football kingdom, and he will be associated with the football king Pele at every turn, so it is said that Neymar has a high starting point in his career.

In addition, Neymar has a cool hairstyle and flashy action on the field, a talented football player, a flamboyant personality, and countless topics on his body, which always attract the attention of the media and fans.

For example, in this Club World Cup, Neymar took the initiative to tell Japanese fans that his grandfather is of Brazilian Japanese descent and has Japanese blood in his body.

This statement made Neymar very popular with the Japanese, who regarded him as half of his own people.

After Neymar was tackled to the ground by Milner, he let out a scream, flipped several times on the ground, and then hugged his ankle with a painful expression.

Santos' players immediately came up and put pressure on the referee.

Santos' head coach Morrich was even more angry and yelling on the sidelines.

He is not pretending, Neymar is now Santos's big baby, and the team is pointing to Neymar's transfer fee to make a lot of money, he is really worried about Neymar's injury.

……

The referee verbally warned Milner.

Seeing that the referee did not play a card, many Neymar fans in the stands booed.

Fang Jue pursed his lips, don't look at Neymar just now rolling in a few consecutive ways, screaming, it looks quite scary, but in fact he is not injured.

Moreover, Milner's tackle was directed towards the ball, and there was no hurtful action, so it can only be said that Neymar's performance was too exaggerated.

Santos' free-kick.

Ganso's free-kick didn't go over the wall and bounced off the wall.

He followed up and shot again, and the ball went high.

……

Aston Villa are organising the attack.

They weren't in a hurry, slowly falling to their feet at the back, attracting Santos midfielders to come up and grab the ball.

Modric suddenly makes a long pass!

Bale receives the ball on the wing.

At this time, Ha Mei was plugging in at high speed, and his assault attracted the attention of the Santos defenders.

Arauca followed him back, and Delasena also focused on Mane, who was running.

Bale made a move to cut inside and shoot, but suddenly passed the ball to Suarez, who was already getting up.

Bale, Hamei and Sadio Mane attracted almost all of Santos' defensive attention, and Suarez was left unattended for the time being.

"Suarez! He catches the ball, and there's no one around him to defend him-"

Before the commentator's voice fell, he saw Suarez adjust slightly and volley directly!!

The quality of this shot is quite high!

Fortunately, Santos goalkeeper Rafael was very focused, and he made a brilliant save and he took to the air.

The right palm lifted the ball out.

Although the goal did not score, it shocked Santos in a cold sweat.

"This shot is really wonderful!"

"Aston Villa's cooperation is very tacit, Bale's pass is very accurate, Suarez shoots beautifully, and the save is wonderful!"

The commentators praised one after another.

Suarez received the ball on the run and suddenly fired a cold shot after a slight adjustment.

Such a shot was very sudden.

If it weren't for Santos' goalkeeper Rafael's concentration and excellent form, the goal could have been scored.

……

Aston Villa's corner.

Ha Mei came to take the corner.

Suarez nodded the ball in front and Mane hit the back post but couldn't get the power up and the ball was pushed out by a defender.

Luka Modric brought a long-range shot from the top of the box.

The ball rubbed against the defender and refracted it, but the power slowed down, and the ball was picked up by Santos' goalkeeper Rafael.

The latter immediately threw the ball in his hand and attacked.

After Enrique won the ball, he drove the ball straight forward with a big foot.

Batglia chested the ball, took two steps forward, and after trying to get past Clement to no avail, he foolishly passed the ball to Borges in front of him.

However, by this time, Aston Villa's defensive formation had been put in place, and Santos' time for a fast break had passed.

"That's the characteristic of Brazilian players, no matter who gets the ball, they want to take two steps, they want to pass, and European teams can deal with such opponents, as long as they can delay their dribbling in the first place, they can make their quick counterattack not play." He Wei commented.

"Hey, this, Aston Villa is a team that started by playing defensive counter-attacks, and if Santos still plays so hard, it will be difficult to find offensive opportunities." Zhang Luhe said with a smile.

Subsequently, after Neymar got the ball, he tried to force past Milner, but Milner and Senderos teamed up to close the goal, cutting off the football.

Aston Villa immediately launched a quick counter-attack.

Ha Mei dribbled the ball at high speed and divided the ball.

Mane received the ball and turned, passed, accelerated, passed Santos' full-back Rafael Leao, and dribbled towards the penalty area.

In the face of Rodrygo, who came up to intercept, Mane made a gesture to shoot from distance, but he slammed the football behind him.

Kyle Walker, who followed up, knocked the football to Ha Mei.

After pulling the ball horizontally, the Colombian teenager pretended to shoot, but unexpectedly rubbed the ball to the back post.

There, Bale, who was already in place, was unguarded by his side.

"Beautiful!"

"Barb!"

The unguarded Bale made a very stretched barb shot.

The ball flew into the net between the hands of Santos goalkeeper Rafael.

“Gooooooooooooal！”

"Oooooo Upside down golden hook! The ball is in! This ball is so beautiful! ”

"One to zero! Gareth Bale opened the scoring for Aston Villa with a very, very, very nice barb to score! ”

PS: Asking for a monthly pass, urgently asking for a monthly pass, do you still have a monthly pass? By the way, I asked for some recommendation votes, thank you.
