Chapter 437: Competing in the AFC Champions League Final

Of course, not all reporters are so reliable, some reporters just gave Liu Yu conclusions that they had no credentials, and even some media Liu Yu found a new love with the consent of his parents.

For a while, the Chinese sports world was shocked!

Many people thought this was true, and some people even called Liu Yu with concern, and Liu Yu received four or five calls on the bus to the training center.

"Liu Yu, are those things said on the Internet true? How can you become like that? ”

The first person to call and ask was Liu Xiang, an old friend of Liu Yu's track and field team, as soon as he answered the phone, he asked Liu Yu sharply, and Liu Yu was also asked with a confused face, "What's the matter?" What the hell are you talking about, I don't understand. ”

"It's said on the Internet that you've found a new love again, is this true?"

"Nani, why don't you even know about me?"

"Then what happened to you recently, otherwise the reporter wouldn't have talked about this topic for no reason, and they all took some pictures, like a picture of a girl eating at your house."

Hearing Liu Xiang's words, Liu Yu understood what had happened, "What else should I do, it turned out to be that, that girl is the godsister I just recognized, naturally she is my mother's goddaughter, isn't it normal to eat at my house?" ”

This time it was Liu Xiang's turn to be surprised, "How did you find such a big beauty, why can't I encounter such a thing?" ”

After answering several phone calls, Liu Yu only had time to take a look on the Internet, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, all the sports websites, the headlines are his own photos, including photos of himself driving with Jiayue, and there are also photos of Jiayue eating with his parents, no wonder the discussion on the Internet is so intense, fortunately, these calls came in a timely manner, Liu Yu found the news as soon as possible, otherwise you pass me, I pass you don't know what it will become?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yu still posted an announcement on his Weibo, and also made things clear through this announcement!

Time flies day by day, Liu Yu is still relatively serious in training every day, for the promise he made, he must improve himself, in fact, if she didn't say that she was going to score three goals, it might not be anything, but after the words were broadcast live on TV, they finally spread to the team in West Asia.

The capital of the United Arab Emirates

"What, I heard that Liu Yu said that he was going to score three goals, let's slap this sports star in the face, and let him not score a single goal when the time comes, so that he will be embarrassed in front of his own country."

"Minister, what you said is right, when the time comes, it will be a shame for Liu Yu, I believe that if Liu Yu can be prevented, the attack of the steppe wolves will definitely be hindered, and when the time comes, we will win the game on a big pressure, hahaha~"

Liu Yu didn't expect that what he said on the TV station would have such a big impact on him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't regret it, in his opinion, this was just a stumbling block, if he couldn't cross the stumbling block, Liu Yu, his future achievements would not be great!

At this time, Liu Yu is taking a flight to Singapore, why not go to West Asia, because it has been said very clearly before, a final of the AFC Champions League is a decisive winner, that is to say, there is no home and away game between the two sides this time, and only the last one will determine the champion.

Because it is a decisive game, it is not fair to arrange the stadium in East Asia or West Asia, and the Asian Football Association of course took this issue into account, and they finally decided to put the stadium in Central Asian countries, and after the final vote, the venue for the final was placed in Singapore.

Since the final was reached, the national level attaches great importance to this game, for which they have also approved a large special fund, since they have money, the club is also very happy to spend a little more money on the next plane.

Singapore's degree of development is indeed higher than that of China, not that they are more developed in science and technology, but mainly because of the high density of people and faster development!

Land in Singapore is expensive, which means that they will have very few sports fields, in fact, there are not many football fields in the whole of Singapore, except for the football fields necessary for universities, the football fields of the whole country can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Although the number of football fields is very small, the construction of football fields is still very complete, and there is no problem in hosting at least some international competitions.

The Steppenwolf arrived in Singapore three days in advance, which was also arranged by the Football Association, in order to adapt to the local environment in advance, especially the hot and humid weather.

In fact, for the steppe wolf generals, the weather is really difficult to adapt, almost all of them are Longnan people, as a northern man, it is rare to encounter such a sultry weather, even in summer, it is not so hot every day!

However, the enthusiasm of Singapore's fans still makes all the players very happy, there are many Chinese in Singapore in China, it is no exaggeration to say that eighty percent of people on the streets of Singapore absolutely know Chinese, so many Chinese fans who support the Chinese team naturally more!

Many fans spontaneously came to the hotel where the players were stationed, of course, the main target of these fans was Liu Yu, and in their opinion, it was worth it to get Liu Yu's autograph and make them wait here for a day!

October is already getting colder in China, but the weather is still hot in Singapore, some of the fans are still wearing short sleeves, and the players have to turn on the air conditioning in the hotel.

The player also saw the formation of the fans downstairs in the window, how dare he go down, so he had to shrink into the house to eat and let the hotel send it, fortunately, the hotel where he stayed was still five-star, the level of the chef was really good, anyway, the players enjoyed it a lot!

As for going out for training, it's good to say, go through the back door, of course, a big hotel like this can't have only one gate, there must be some underground parking lot, although it can't be ruled out that there are fans there, but it's less than on land!

In the past two days, Liu Yu's main training is the ability to take free kicks, although he also has a free kick shooting skill in his hand, but Liu Yu does not want to pin his hopes on skills, after all, with the improvement of strength, the power that this skill can exert is getting smaller and smaller.

Time flies very quickly in this kind of inadvertent way!

October 17 at 7pm Singapore local time

Singapore's stadiums are already overcrowded, although the game only started at 8:00, but how can fans wait until 8 o'clock, they are waiting at the entrance of the stadium early, and the organizers also take into account that fans are outside will affect the city's traffic, so they made an exception to open the ticket gate in advance.

Because this is the first time that Chinese football has hit the top of Asia after the reform, so the fans are not easier than the players, and some fans have now begun to burn incense and kneel and pray, of course, the stadium is not allowed to bring fire, and the so-called incense is just a photo found with a mobile phone, as for whether there is an effect, the fans have not thought about it, anyway, praying is better than not praying.

At this time, the players of the Steppe Wolves have also arrived at the scene of the game, of course the players will not play now, they are all relaxing in the locker room, and people like Liu Yu still have time to play with their mobile phones for a while!

When it was close to eight o'clock, the staff on the scene informed the players to enter, which was a very cumbersome process, the players needed to pull the local caddie to the designated location to take pictures, and finally the national flag was raised, of course, the national flag was still very necessary, and all players should respect.

When everything is over, the players began to warm up and prepare for the game, the first kick-off today is the Adelaide club from the United Arab Emirates, Liu Yu doesn't know much about this team, he only knows that the opponent's foreign aid is very strong, and the opponent is better at high-altitude attack.

Sure enough, as soon as the other party came up, the team in the United Arab Emirates launched a positive rush forward, of course, the Steppe Wolves will not be afraid, although there is still a certain gap in personal strength, but the Steppe Wolves players are better than dare to fight and dare to grab, although the ball has been controlled by the opponent at the feet, but the Steppe Wolves through desperate running, so that the other party has not been able to find a chance, the two sides in the Steppe Wolves in the backfield defense to form a fierce confrontation.

In the 2nd minute of the game, the UAE team's right side attack was crossed by Eto'o, the quality of the pass was very high, just over the head of the Steppe Wolves defender, but because the angle was blocked, the attacking UAE striker was obviously not ready, his header was not very good, but it was like this, the ball came crookedly to the feet of their other foreign aid, or the opponent's foreign aid was only five or six meters away from the goal after beer, and the foreign aid did not exert force at such a close range. The ball slowly rolled into the goal, and the goalkeeper who hated the wolf naturally would not let this kind of ball go in, he turned sideways and flicked the ball out, and finally blocked it on the goal line in a thrilling way.

The steppe wolves who escaped a section did not fear, they still maintained their rhythm, and in the subsequent ball control time, under the guidance of Liu Yu, the steppe wolves continued to use a kick to launch an attack, and the opposing players were obviously prepared, since the steppe wolves' players attacked very fiercely, but the opponent's defense was also orderly, leaving not many opportunities for the steppe wolves.

In the end, there was really nothing to do, so I had to return the ball to Liu Yu, Liu Yu broke through one-on-one, and forced the bottom cross, but the opponent's defender made up the defense very quickly, and I don't know if it was a defense arranged so before the game, anyway, the restrictions on Liu Yu are very large, this ball, Liu Yu can only spell out a corner.

The corner kick was opened, the ball was pushed out of the bottom line by the opponent's defender, and the Steppe Wolves got a corner kick opportunity again, but this time I still didn't find the Steppe Wolves' players, the opponent's close defense is very effective, although Liu Yu is still very dominant in the physical confrontation, but there is no way to be pushed by the opponent after jumping, after all, it is not enough to rely on weight alone.

The opponent's defender pushed the ball out of the big penalty area, the Steppewolf central defender already knew that it was not good, and spread his legs to make up for the position, but at this time it has been a little distance from the opponent's striker, where can he still catch up, he can only watch the opponent's striker break through to his own side of the penalty area, the UAE team used the Steppe Wolves formation forward pressure to launch a quick counterattack, the old and strong Eto'o from the midfield all the way to the big penalty area, in the face of the Steppewolf goalkeeper who has attacked, he randomly chose to shoot near the penalty area line, However, this time the shot was recognized by Steppe Wolves' defender Cao Yang, who blocked the ball off the line with a back-heel block.

In the subsequent game, the UAE team won 3 corners in a row, each time it was the Steppe Wolves' defenders who took the lead to push out, due to the very high quality of the opponent's passes, the Steppe Wolves' defenders could only top the net and hit the ball out of the bottom line, but the entire Steppe Wolves' defensive appearance was still very good, although a little panicked, but did not show any mistakes, and the team that would actively defend the UAE in the face of the Steppe Wolves failed to create a substantial threat.

In the 5th minute, after Liu Yu got rid of people in a row, he finally had the opportunity to cross, but he still deliberately brought two feet to the bottom line, and crossed to the back of the penalty area from the left side, the foreign aid of the Steppe Wolves has been waiting in the penalty area for a long time, compared to the opponent's back line of this foreign aid is obviously not ready, the Grassland Wolves' foreign aid stuck the position and forced to jump directly, but his header was blocked by the defender at close range.

In fact, this ball is mainly played too positively, such a close distance, as long as the goalkeeper hits the side, he will not be able to react, that is, as long as he hits the side, he will definitely score

In the 8th minute, Huang Jun took the ball a little too much, and the opposing player's players were not vegetarians, so he kicked the ball directly while Huang Jun's foothold was not stable, and this time he just snatched the ball away from under Huang Jun's feet.

However, the quality of the opponent's player's subsequent cross was not high, the opponent's striker made a mistake in stopping the ball with high difficulty, Cao Yang quickly grabbed the ball, and the opponent's striker had no way to passively foul Cao Yang and received a yellow card.

In the face of Ittihad, who also pursues ball control and quick impact, the Steppe Wolves continued to defend, lacking effective cooperation in the midfield when controlling the ball, and the effect of several high balls was not ideal.

In the 12th minute, the Steppe Wolves made continuous crosses on the right side, the ball bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper and fell near the back post, and the Steppe Wolves' foreign aid jumped high, but the center of gravity of the body was not well controlled, and his header was high.

Then a very bad accident occurred, the Steppenwolf's foreign aid landed on the ground after this jump, and the leg was strained, and there was no way, he could only be replaced by the Steppenwolf's substitute.

The steppe wolves, who lacked the main force, were even more disproportionate in attack, so they did not form an effective offensive, and the somewhat impatient Cao Yang's long-range shot from the periphery did not kick the right part, and the ball was off the sideline.

In the following period, the opponent's midfield possession increased, and the opponent's midfield core long pass found a foreign aid who suddenly cut in, but the player who entered the penalty area was too big and lost the opportunity.

Taking advantage of a succession of throw-ins in front, the Etihad team continued to push forward, but were unable to instigate an effective fight.
