Chapter 695: Club World Cup Champion! (3rd Watch)

In addition to the "Times" focusing on the new goal record of the Club World Cup in the history of the European mainstream media, other media have also followed the report.

A world-famous superstar like Iro, no matter which team it is, will be a loyal fan who can't help but want to follow the deeds of those famous stars, so no newspaper will turn a blind eye to the news that will help sales, but the report of Iro's goal record in the Club World Cup lasted on the 19th.

At 7 o'clock in the evening of the 19th, the draw ceremony for the 1/8 finals of the 2008-2009 Champions League was held in Nyon, the headquarters of UEFA.

As the Chelsea squad is still preparing for the Club World Cup in Japan, the draw was attended by the club's chief executive, John Kenyon.

At the draw ceremony, it was first confirmed that the Champions League quarter-finals will be played on February 25 and 26 and March 11 and 12 next year, while the final will be played on May 27 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

As Inter Milan, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Lyon and other giants have stumbled to become the second place in the group, making this season's Champions League 1/8 finals full of highlights, like the London media speculated before the game Chelsea vs Inter Milan, Chelsea vs Valencia, Chelsea vs Real Madrid will very likely become a reality.

What people didn't expect was that Roma general manager Bruno Conte was the first team to come out of the team, which scared Chelsea CEO Kenyon into a cold sweat.

The so-called stick hit the first bird, Chelsea as the first team to be drawn out of the group, which means that in addition to the Roma team and Arsenal, the other six opponents are likely to be drawn, which is the highest probability of drawing a strong opponent.

The on-site director deliberately aimed the camera at Kenyon.

At this moment, the Chelsea players thousands of miles away are also very nervous sitting in the conference room of the hotel, especially the head coach Mourinho, looking at Bruno Conte on the big screen with his eyes, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, it is estimated that he must want to draw the weakest Panathinaikos in his heart.

Coincidentally, all the team leaders who came to the scene had this idea.

I believe that no one in this world wants to really meet a difficult team, they would rather meet a team with a belly of fish.

As Bruno Conte reached into the semi-enclosed box that placed second in each group, the Chelsea players were nervous.

At this time, Barak bumped Ello with his shoulder: "You guessed so accurately before, or ...... Guess? ”

The room was so quiet that even if Ballack deliberately kept his voice low, he was heard by his teammates in the front and back rows.

Before Iello joined Chelsea, I had heard similar rumors about Iro, but I had never seen it, and this time I just heard Ballack ask Iro, and people like Ashley Cole, Drogba and Modric were all very interested, and they looked at Iroh respectively, and the meaning they wanted to express was very obvious.

"Do you really want me to guess?" Iroh looked at everyone with a smirk.

Bruno Conte on TV has pulled out a ball in the shape of a Champions League logo.

"Guess quickly, or the result will be out!"

"Don't blame me if you guessed right......"

Everyone nodded, all wanting to see Iroh's divine guess.

Ailo looked up at the TV, he wanted to talk about Valencia, but just as he was about to say it, another team popped up in his mind, and it was the nine-time champion Real Madrid! He secretly cursed in his own heart: "! ”

"Say it quickly!" Seeing that Bruno Conte was about to reveal the suspense, Modric urged.

"If I'm not mistaken, I think it's Real Madrid."

As soon as the words fell, Bruno Conte, the general manager of Rome, who revealed the suspense at the UEFA headquarters, flipped the note in his hand to the side, and it was written: Real Madrid!

"I'll rub!!" When the Chelsea players saw the results announced on TV, they all subconsciously turned their heads to look at Iello and spoke foully.

Even Mourinho and Boas looked at Iello, who had guessed accurately, as if they wanted to look through Guò and find clues.

Facing everyone's gaze, Iroh looked very natural, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "This guess God is a good example...... Hey hey"

"Cut!"

Listening to Iroh's answer, everyone waved at him dissatisfiedly.

Immediately, Mourinho and Boas got up at the same time and left the conference room.

For them, the team's opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals has been revealed, there is no point in continuing to watch, plus there is still a Club World Cup final to prepare for the day after tomorrow, they still have a lot to do.

The remaining seven quarter-final draws were also decided by Chelsea players.

Valencia vs Panathinaikos, Bayern Munich vs Sporting Lisbon, Porto vs Atletico Madrid, Barcelona vs Lyon, Liverpool vs Roma, Juventus vs Arsenal, Manchester United vs Inter Milan.

It has to be said that this season's Champions League 1/8 finals are more attractive than previous years' Champions League 1/8 finals, and a number of direct encounters with Europe's top giants will definitely attract the attention of fans around the world.

In particular, Chelsea vs Real Madrid, Barcelona vs Lyon, Juventus vs Arsenal, and Manchester United vs Inter Milan in the four 1/8 finals.

Definitely full of highlights!

※※※

The next day, the world's mainstream football media newspapers were destined to focus on the draw for the 1/8 final of the Champions League at UEFA headquarters in Nyon last night.

But the Chelsea players in Yokohama, Japan, were bent on preparing for the Club World Cup final the following evening.

For them...... It's all about this game! Real Madrid: That's next year......

The 2008 Club World Cup final team can be said to be an expected matchup, in the whole world football, the European League has the highest level, followed by South America, such as Central and North America, Asia, Africa, Oceania and other four continents of the champion team can only participate in the quarter-finals, the strong Champions League champion and the Copa Libertadores champion directly into the semi-finals.

From the 1981 Toyota Cup/Club World Cup to the 2008 Club World Cup final this year, the Champions League winners and the Copa Libertadores champions have monopolized it...... is the best evidence.

The 2008 Club World Cup final kicked off at 7:30 p.m. local time on the 21st at the Yokohama International Stadium.

The University of Quito is the first Ecuadorian professional football club to win the Copa Libertadores, and a big reason for winning the 2008 Copa Libertadores has to do with their defense.

So...... Jose Mourinho told his team before the game to be patient and organiser, but also to ensure the concentration of the defenders, otherwise the game will become extremely difficult if you concede a goal first.

Really!

As soon as the game began, the University of Quito put on an iron bucket formation, a posture of stubborn defense.

Fortunately, Mourinho had a full anticipation of the final before the game, so the game went on for most of the hour, and the Chelsea players on the pitch were still unhurried and patient to stop the attack.

At the same time, Iroh also appreciated the playing style of South American players, one word - dirty!

Two words - very dirty!

Three words - very dirty!

Slow-motion replays of dead balls always see Universidad de Quito defenders stomping on Ello's heel with spikes in careless runs.

In the thirtieth minute of the match, Iroh was bleeding from his heel.

Then the referee strengthened the control of the game, especially the small movements of the players from the University of Quito, and grasped it very strictly.

You must know that this game was watched by FIFA President Blatter, AFC President Hamann, and football legend Beckenbauer in the VIP seats.

You must control the game well, otherwise it will be difficult to become a referee that FIFA focuses on training in the future.

The first half ended 0-0 with no achievements for either side.

In the second half, Chelsea accelerated the pace of attack, and Iello consciously reduced the number of dribbles under the strict defense of the University of Quito, and increased the number of cooperation with teammates and long-range shots.

But this team is clearly going to defend to the end, and the front of the box is full of people, and unless there is a good quality long-range shot, it is blocked by the defenders of the University of Quito.

Seventy minutes into the game, Mourinho took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Ailo to his side: "Use your skills to create a set-piece opportunity suitable for yourself at the edge of the penalty area!" ”

When Iroh returned to the field, he conveyed the latest tactical ideas to his teammates.

In the 83rd minute, the physical fitness of the defenders of the University of Quito declined, and Ailo suddenly accelerated to break through about 30 meters from the goal on the left rib, Bolanos did not keep up with the rhythm of Ailo's dribbling, and was forced to kick him to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Immediately, Bolanos realized that he seemed to have forgotten the manager's important instructions before the game, but he said again and again: "Remember not to give Ai a free kick opportunity of about 30 meters." ”

Iello took a free-kick under Bolanos's fear, and the ball flew over the jumping wall like a cruise missile, straight into the top left corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Cevaros flew all the way without touching the ball.

'Huh'

Iello's direct free-kick went straight to the back of the net.

Not only was Elo excited, but Mourinho was equally excited as he stood on the sidelines, celebrating again in a sliding style in front of 70,000 fans.

Now that the domestic league is in full swing, it would be a problem for the team to spend energy in extra-time in the Club World Cup, and Elo's goal would have guaranteed Chelsea the title!

After more than 80 minutes, the goal of the University of Quito was still pierced by Aelo, and they had no choice but to attack, but in the face of Chelsea's solid backline, they were very powerless, but they were assisted by Malouda in a quick counterattack by Aillo to seal the victory.

In the end, Chelsea defeated the University of Quito 2-0 at the Yokohama International Arena to win the 2008 Club World Cup.
