Chapter 32: Far Away
Because of Degan's words, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup were full of gunpowder from the beginning, and the Japanese media and fans were very angry because of Degan's contempt for Japanese football, and of course they didn't understand why Degan would behave so aggressively, and even Degan's teammates didn't know.
It seems that Degan has never been to Japan, but his attitude seems to have a little hatred for Japan.
"I don't need to explain anything, I just need a win, 5-0, or more!"
In the locker room, Degan gave his teammates an order to fight, yes, an order, and this game Degan didn't just want a win, he wanted a complete victory.
After Digan had finished his pre-war mobilization, Prandley pulled him aside and said with a meaningful smile on his face: "Rod! If you do this, I'm afraid Mr. Parkinwa will be upset! ”
Degan looked a little disdainful: "That bastard is full of money, and all he thinks about is bullshit commercial development, Cesare!" I don't care how many of my jerseys sell in Japan, what he thinks has nothing to do with me! ”
Yokohama International Arena, Fiorentina and Gamba Osaka, the winner of this match, will meet in the final with the winner of the Copa Libertadores, from the University of Quito in Ecuador.
After beating Adelaide United, AFC Champions League champion Gamba Osaka got the chance to play against European champions Fiorentina.
Although before the game, Degan's remarks hurt the national pride of the Japanese, but this game, the scene was still full, and people wanted to see the demeanor of the world's first-class stars.
At the start of the first half, Gamba Osaka, who had the advantage of playing at home, quickly got into the rhythm of the game, and just four minutes into the game, Tomokazu Akemi had a chance to shoot at the edge of Fiorentina's penalty area, but his long-range shot was easily confiscated by Frei, who was highly focused. Immediately, Gamba Osaka's defender Ridai Yasuda assisted in the front court again, and his left-footed shot from the outside was slightly high.
In this game, the most nervous person in the Fiorentina team is undoubtedly Frei, before the game, although Digan did not say it explicitly, but the attitude has been very obvious, in the game, absolutely not to concede a goal.
Thinking that if a goal was scored by the Japanese, Degan's angry look, Frey could only cheer up, for fear that one of them would accidentally steal a point from the Japanese, if that was the case, he would be the unlucky one at that time.
After withstanding Gamba Osaka's three-board axe, Fiorentina began to take over the game in an all-round way, and in the fifth minute, Digan took the ball in front of the field, resisted Gamba Osaka's defenders, and turned directly to shoot low with his left foot, which was saved by goalkeeper Yosuke Fujitani.
Two minutes later, Modric dribbled the ball on the left side and broke through two defenders in quick succession before firing into the far corner, but this shot was too much for the angle and went just wide.
In the twelfth minute, Fiorentina got a free kick opportunity in front, and Digan shot a free kick, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the angle was too small, and it was confiscated by Yosuke Fujitani.
Although the continuous shots failed to score, under the strong offensive of Fiorentina, the defense of the Osaka Gamba team was also shaky, not to mention that the offensive was gone, and it was very difficult to even pass through the half.
As a result, Fiorentina scored the first goal three minutes later, when Digan received a pass from Montolivo in front, dribbled horizontally, shook off the defense of Gamba Osaka's Satota Nakazawa, and fired a left-footed volley into the left post and into the net.
1:0!
After the goal, Deegan looked very excited, rushed directly in front of the camera, and went up with a right hook, which made the Japanese who were watching the game in front of the TV subconsciously lean back, as if Degan's punch hit them in the face.
Before the game, some people said that Deegan would do nothing under the defense of Satoshi Nakazawa and Tomoshi Yamaguchi, but now Deegan gave them a hard punch with the facts, and Satota Nakazawa's defense was already in place just now, but Degan looked so calm when he got rid of Satota Nakazawa's defense.
Digan has always been a person who must be revenged, of course he doesn't know which onion Satoshi Nakazawa is, since the Japanese have said that they have a way to defend him, if he doesn't respond, won't it make the Japanese too proud.
The game restarted, just two minutes later, Fiorentina's offensive returned, Fellaini broke the ball in the midfield, directly hit the back of the Osaka Gamba defense, Digan successfully countered offside, lightly shook the attacking goalkeeper, and took the ball directly into the goal.
There was an instant silence in the stands, and it was obviously insulting for Digan to do so, not to mention the Japanese fans in the stands, and even the face of Fiorentina executive chairman Pakinwa in the VIP seat became very ugly.
Pakinwa came to Japan for business cooperation, and the day before the game, he also called Prandelli to ask the team to save some face for the hosts on the basis of ensuring victory.
But now, Digan's approach is obviously to turn a deaf ear to his words, and look at the faces of the Japanese around him who have turned blue.
On the field, after Digan completed the goal, as if nothing had happened, he ran directly towards the halfway line, and the Japanese with blue faces and angry eyes around him, he didn't seem to see it.
In the stands, Park Ji-yeon was shouting excitedly, completely unaware that there were many cameras at this moment, facing her, since the Beijing Olympics, she is now a small public figure.
With two goals in hand, Fiorentina played even more handily in the next game, although Gamba Osaka tried to fight back, but the strength was weak, and every counterattack would hit the head in front of the solid defense of the Fiorentina midfield.
In the 26th minute, Fiorentina scored again, this time it was Modric who scored the goal, Digan took the ball in the middle, saw Modric inserted, and immediately split the side, after Modric got the ball, he made a move to cross, deceived Gadiliang, and then suddenly cut inside, shot from a distance, and scored directly.
3:0!
Only a minute later, Fiorentina broke the ball again to counterattack, Diganla went to the right side to get the ball, shook Yasuda Ridai, shot hard, was blocked by Yamaguchi Tomo, but failed to bounce far, only to be saved by Pazzini's easy header.
4:0!
In the 30th minute, Fiorentina had a chance to take a corner kick, Modric took a corner kick from the right, and Digan was near the penalty spot, beat Yamaguchi, headed the ball into the net.
5:0!
By the time the game was played, Gamba Osaka had completely collapsed, and the Japanese fans who were still singing and cheering for the team before were also silent at this time, and they could see in advance that a rout was inevitable.
"Although I don't want to admit it, but the reality is in front of me, compared with Fiorentina, which represents the highest level in Europe, the strength of Gamba Osaka is not at all a level, and it seems that Japanese football wants to become the champion of the world world, and it seems that there is still a long process!"
The Japanese commentator's tone was low, almost like he was reading a eulogy to Gamba Osaka, but what he said was also the truth, Gamba Osaka wanted to compete with Fiorentina for a place in the final, it was no longer possible.
Now it is more practical to endure this game honestly, and then go to compete with Pachuca for the third place in this Club World Cup, which looks more reliable.
Now, the only hope of Japanese fans is that Fiorentina can save some face for the hosts and stop beating the water dogs again.
However, their illusions were soon shattered in first-half stoppage time when Fiorentina launched an attack and Digan passed the ball to Pazzini, whose powerful shot was denied off the line.
Immediately afterwards, Modric's corner kick from the right side, and like the previous corner kick, Digan pressed Yamaguchi, jumped sideways, shook his head to the bottom left corner of the goal, and scored again.
6:0!
When the first half ended and both teams returned to the dressing room, there was no expression on the faces of Gamba Osaka's players, and they were all stunned by Fiorentina.
The whole Fiorentina team returned to the dressing room, the players immediately began to celebrate, Prandelli and Digan did not stop everyone, the game has been won 100%, Gamba Osaka wants to turn the tables, unless the big empty wing really comes to the world.
But just as the players were celebrating, Paginwa pushed the door and walked in, and directly called Prandelli and Deegan aside, although Degan looked down on Paginwa, but the other party was also the executive chairman of Fiorentina, and he still had to give face.
But Pakinva was now like a rooster who had been trampled by the neck, and came up to Prandelli and Degan and snarled: "Do you want to make Florence the public enemy of Japan?" Do you know that the Japanese market is a very important development area for Florence at the moment, I don't care what you think, let the Japanese score in the second half, it's not a negotiation, it's a ~~~~~"
Before Paginwa could say the "order" on his lips, he was interrupted by an angry Degan, who reached out and grabbed Paginwa's neck directly.
Originally, Digan still wanted to live in peace with Pakinwa, and neither of them interfered with each other's work, but now, Pakinwa has obviously overstepped it.
"I'll tell you too, bastard, I'm a player, my brother and I are tasked with fighting for Florence on the pitch, you're fucking old, you dare to point fingers in front of me, now get out of the way, run to your Japanese masters and kneel in their ass, that's your freedom, all I have to do is to completely destroy the arrogant Japanese on the football field!"
Prandley was taken aback by Degan's actions, and when he reacted, Pakinwa was so blushing by Degan that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Rod! Calm down! ”
Degan roared loudly with red eyes: "I can't fucking calm down, my brothers and I are working hard on the court, but some people are digging into the corners of Lao Tzu!" ”
The more Deegan spoke, the more angry he became, and with a single force, he lifted Parkinwa up directly, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Pakinwa's head was stunned at this moment, he didn't expect Degan to make a move, he coughed for a long time before he finally recovered, raised his head, looked at Degan with resentment in his eyes, and said viciously: "You Brazilian bastard, you will pay for everything you did today!" ”
Boom!
Digan kicked Pajinwa directly, sneered, and said disdainfully: "Is Lao Tzu really afraid of you?" Now get out of here, this is the locker room, and it's not for you Japanese dog to climb in! ”
The conflict that broke out here, the players of Florence have also seen it, some people are secretly applauding, and some people are worried about Deagan, Parkina is a close confidant of De Vara, and now Digan has taught Pa Jinwa a lesson, it is hard to guarantee that De Delave will not have a grudge against Digan because of this incident, once the conflict between Del Vale and Digan breaks out, it must be Digan who leaves, in that case, what can Florence do?
Digan didn't care about this: "Listen, in the second half, we have to continue to score, to fuck the face of the hosts, that's not something we should think about, in the second half, if I find out who is not working hard on the pitch, you don't want to mix with Fiorentina again!" ”
Digan was furious, and the Fiorentina players naturally didn't dare to refute, and they all held their back to make the Japanese look good in the second half.
At the start of the second half, Fiorentina, who were already leading by a large score, immediately launched a fierce attack, and in the 48th minute, Montolivo received a pass and his shot from the left side of the box was blocked by Tomo Yamaguchi.
Five minutes later, Maggio dribbled to Gamba Osaka's half, crossed and Modric followed up in time to send the ball flying away with a long-range shot.
Although they failed to score again, Fiorentina's stormy attack made Gamba Osaka's players breathless, and not long after the start of the second half, the players' faces were already full of exhaustion.
Finally, in the 75th minute, Fiorentina scored again, Montolivo crossed diagonally from the midfield, Digan unloaded the ball on his chest, easily escaped the defense of Satota Nakazawa, and scored with a low shot on the left side of the penalty area.
7:0!
After the goal, Digan stood in Gamba Osaka's penalty area, his hands held high, enjoying the cheers of thousands of Fiorentina fans in the stands.
Some of those Japanese fans have already begun to retire, and although the game was very exciting, losing the game like this is simply a great shame for the Japanese with strong self-esteem.
Pakinwa in the VIP seat also left, and was violently beaten by Deegan in front of so many people in the locker room, which made him hate Deegan to the point of no return.
Three minutes later, Pasquale crossed the ball from the left and Ledesma headed it in to make it 8-0.
However, this was not the final score, in the 79th minute, Modric passed the ball to Digan on the left, and Digan hit the ball directly behind him, and after Pazzini received the ball, he half-turned and scored a low shot.
9:0!
In the next game, it was completely meaningless, and in order to avoid the Japanese playing lethal tactics in a hurry, Prandelli replaced Digan, Montolivo and Modric one after another.
At the end of the game, Deegan did not forget to continue to provoke those Japanese, and waved his finger towards the stands around him, his meaning was obvious.
When it comes to football, you're not even close!
After the game, Degan naturally became the focus of attention of reporters, although there were some Japanese around him, but Degan did not mean to refuse.
When asked if he was intentionally humiliating Japanese football, Deegan smiled: "Do you think so?" Isn't football a game about going all out and winning? ”
was asked by Di Gan, and the Japanese reporter who asked the question couldn't help but turn red, obviously unable to deny it.
Digan continued: "I don't think it's humiliating, I'm just doing my duty as a player, I heard a lot of voices before the game, some Japanese people said that Gamba Osaka had a chance to win in front of Fiorentina, I just told those who made this fantasy that it's time to sober up!" If you take this as humiliation, well! I'll admit, I did! ”
Digan's words were sharp, and the Italian reporters present had already heard of it, and they also laughed secretly in their hearts when they saw those Japanese counterparts deflated.
Then someone asked what he thought of the final, and Digan replied: "The University of Quito is a very strong opponent, and we have to be careful against them." ”
Digan came to such a sentence, and directly blew up the Japanese reporters present, you have to be careful about dealing with the University of Quito, and you don't care about dealing with Gamba Osaka at all, isn't this still looking down on Japanese football?
In response to the protest of the Japanese reporter, Di Gan sneered and said: "I want to speak against my will for what I want, to deal with Gamba Osaka, I really don't need to waste too much energy, this is the gap in strength, the score of this game has proved all this, and, don't say anything to me about the strength of the spirit!" I'll be here again next year, and if your mental strength really works, I'm looking forward to seeing a Japanese team beat me next time I come here!" If you can't do that, shut up now, don't say anything, and you're not qualified to complain in front of me! ”
9:0!
The Japanese media mourned all over the country after the end of this game, listening to the tone of those people, it was simply the end of the world, although the tone was a little exaggerated, but there is no doubt that this fiasco will definitely be a big blow to Japanese football.
Before the game, he vowed to win the championship of this Club World Cup, but after a game, it was like someone poured a basin of cold water on his head during the New Year.
It's a taste that only the Japanese themselves can patiently experience.
Degan didn't return to the hotel after the game, he really didn't want to see Parkinwa's ugly face, so he called Park Ji-yeon and made an appointment to go to play.
This scene was naturally discovered by a reporter with great powers, and then continued to ferment in the media, and it seemed that Di Gan had no way to refute Di Gan's little girlfriend.
