In the quarter-finals, South Korea's Seongnam Il Hwa defeated Alwahda 4-1 to advance to the semi-finals, while Mazembe defeated the Mexican champion Pachuca 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

In the semi-final draw, Inter Brasil was placed in a group with Mazembe.

Lazio's opponents are South Korean side Seongnam Ilwa.

At this summer's East Asia Tour, Lazio also played against South Korean team Seoul FC, and they have a preliminary understanding of Korean teams, at least not completely ignorant of them. So that friendly match is equivalent to a warm-up for today's semi-finals......

Seongnam Ilhwa were runners-up in the 2009 K-League and then played in this year's Asian Champions League as runners-up, making it all the way to the final. In the final a month ago, they defeated Iranian Premier League side Saeki Ahan 3-0 to become the new Asian champions.

It was also the second time in their history that they won the AFC Champions League.

It is also the second consecutive year that the South Korean team has won the AFC Champions League.

South Korean football is now in full swing, and Chang Sheng is responsible for putting out fires.

The semi-final between Lazio and Seongnam Ichiwa is the second semi-final, with the first semi-final being Brazil International against Congo's Mazembe.

After all, the popularity is the highest, and the best team always has to be saved until the last play, the so-called finale.

This is also convenient for the perennial victory, and he can first see who wins and loses the match between Internacional Brasil and Mazembe.

As a result, Mazembe surprisingly defeated the mighty Brazilian international team 2-0 in the semi-finals to reach the final!

"This is a victory for African football! 2010 is destined to belong to African football! ”

The TV narrator shouted loudly at the final whistle.

Chang Sheng slapped his face. It doesn't look like it's any different from what you know.

If the opponent is Mazembe, it will be easy to fight.

This championship, he is nine out of ten!

※※※

Lazio then made their first appearance in the Club World Cup this season, against Jonam Ilwa.

Seongnam Ilhwa from South Korea intends to use their abundant physical strength to bring down Lazio.

They thought to themselves that Lazio was a continuous campaign. It's a long walk, and the physical fitness must not be too good.

This really made Chang Sheng snicker.

And Lao Tzu's team compared to physical fitness?

You are playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and you are humiliating yourself. Bring about one's own destruction!

Lazio's fitness is not at all problematic and he intends to slowly play with Seongnam Yihe, just like the first two Champions League group games.

Play Dead City Minami Ichiwa at a slow pace.

But after seeing Seongnam Ilwa's tactics in the first half, he decided to change his strategy.

Let Koreans see what it really means to run to death!

So in the second half, Lazio changed his formation and tactics, and Chang Sheng sacrificed an upgraded version of his mad dog tactics, mad wolf tactics!

Mobilize your opponents with quick passes and wide runs.

Seongnam Ilhwa relied on his good physical fitness at the beginning and ran to the rhythm of Lazio, so both teams showed a crazy running situation in the game.

But soon Seongnam Ilhwa couldn't stand it, and their players even felt their lungs burning.

Their speed gradually slowed down. I can't keep up with Lazio's running rhythm.

And Seongnam Ichiwa is running out of energy at the same time. It also collapsed.

In the first half they were one goal behind. In the second half, they conceded three goals in a row and finally lost with a score of 0:4.

Towards the end of the match, the South Korean players began to fall to the ground frequently. Rolling around with their calves in their hands, their expressions painful - they all had cramps!

It can make Koreans who can run well. Lazio's players also seem to be at ease, and their fitness is truly amazing.

The Asian commentator said: "Lazio are so good at fitness, I am afraid that no other team in football today can match them! ”

※※※

After the game, the UAE media praised Lazio's performance.

Of course, one of the purposes of their praise for Lazio was to ridicule the South Korean team.

"Koreans are known for their physical fitness, but now it seems that in front of Lazio, their physical strength is no more than that......"

West Asian football and East Asian football have always had enmity, and the Asian Football Confederation is based on the confrontation between East Asian football and West Asian football, as for South and Southeast Asia, as well as Central Asia...... That's all soy sauce.

This situation did not change until Australia abandoned Oceania and joined the Asian Football Confederation. After all, Australia is alone, and there is still a dispute between East and West Asia in the AFC.

West Asians look down on East Asia, and East Asians look down on West Asia.

Now seeing the East Asian team Jonan Ichiwa eliminated by Lazio, the West Asians are naturally elated.

Their team has long been eliminated anyway, so they are rooting for Lazio now.

They don't have a bit of a "Greater Asia concept", everything we are an Asian team, we have to cheer for our Asian brothers, and only the Chinese media are so naïve......

There are regional battles in China, not to mention the whole of Asia.

※※※

In this way, Lazio will compete with Mazembe for the Club World Cup.

This is the first time that an African team has reached the final of the Club World Cup, so Mazembe has also attracted the attention of the media, and everyone is surprised.

Of course, the fans are not very happy, especially the neutral fans - they want to see the pinnacle of European football and South American football, and who wants to see African teams......

Chang Sheng still knows this team very well, because when Mazembe reached the final of the Club World Cup against Inter Milan, it also caused a sensation in the media, and there were many chapters about Mazembe's introduction in the media at that time, and Chang Sheng also read it - he likes to read the information of teams that everyone doesn't know much about.

So he knows what this team is like.

Fans who are familiar with African football have a lot of hope for Egypt's Zamalek, the Cairo Nation, and Tunisia's desert star. The enthusiasm of Casablanca in Morocco, the mimosa of Côte d'Ivoire, and the oak heart of Ghana are more familiar to the African giants, but the Mazembe club from the Democratic Republic of Congo is less well known.

The football club was founded in 1939 by the then Lubashi Friars. For the past half century, it has been one of the two giants of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Back in 1967 and 1968, under the shadow of dictator Mobutu, Mazembe won the African Champions Cup and then reached the final for two consecutive years, a feat that was only equaled by Nigeria's Elephants in 2004.

But after that. The African Champions Cup has always been monopolized by clubs from North and West Africa. Only Vida, from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, reached the final twice and won the title in 1973. In 38 years, teams from North and West Africa have divided 67 of the 76 finals, and since 1995, when South Africa's Orlando Buccaneers won the championship on the occasion of racial reconciliation, no team outside of North and West Africa has won the last thirteen African titles.

Last year, Mazembe finished runners-up in the revamped African Champions League, beating Sultan Omdurman Crescent and Nigeria for the first time in 41 years. They were ambitious to compete in the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, but were unexpectedly eliminated by Pohang Steelers in the first round. The ensuing fifth-place race was unintentional. It was defeated 3-2 by Auckland City of New Zealand. The Club World Cup debut was accompanied by the last seat.

This year. Mazembe gave up on a comeback in the league and knocked out Algeria's Kabyl and Tunisia Hope in the African Champions League to win Africa again. This. Having learned from their experience, Mazembe first stood on the defensive foot, beating Mexico's Pachuca 1-0 in the quarter-finals. After holding on to the first half in the semi-finals against the smug Copa Libertadores champion Internacional Brasil, Kabangu broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute of the second half, and Karuituka sealed the victory in the first five minutes of the final to reach the final.

The African media have praised Mazembe's historic FIFA Club World Cup final, which they consider to be a milestone for African football as a whole compared to Ghana's World Youth Championship title in 2009. Formerly known as the Intercontinental Cup, the Club World Cup has been a four-day battle between Europe and South America in the final, but this year's Mazembe from Central Africa overthrew the European and South American monopoly on the highest tournament at club level.

The team is coached by former Senegalese national team coach Lamine Ndiaye, who only took over in September this year, replacing French coach Gazto, who suffered a 3-0 defeat to Tunisia in the group stage of the AFC Champions League. But in just three months, he not only led the team all the way to the African Champions Cup, but also reached the final of the Club World Cup, achieving an achievement that his predecessors could not have imagined. Ndiaye and his predecessor Gazto both used a 433 attacking formation, but most of the time it was a 451 conservatism, which is somewhat similar to Mourinho's.

Mazembe has always been a wealthy team in Africa, but of course it can't be compared with Europe.

But in Africa, they are really local tyrants.

Because they have a real tyrant boss. Mazembe's club president is Moshe Katubi, the first democratically elected governor of Katanga, the largest province in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mazembe's budget for the season is $10 million, which is almost the budget of all national top league clubs in the whole of South Central Africa (except South Africa) combined!

At the same time, Katubi spent $2 million to build a new stadium for the team. Although the capacity has dropped from 35,000 to 180 million, it is the only full-seat stadium in the whole of the Democratic Republic of Congo and even in the Middle East and Africa, and even meets the UEFA four-star standard.

Almost all of Mazembe's members come from families of miners in Katanga province, with the only foreign aid coming from neighbouring Zimbabwe and Zambia. For North and West African teams that use a lot of foreign aid from South America, this is definitely the most home-grown team building strategy. What's more, the players are treated at a European level: the Bulldozers' salary spend, which was only $3.6 million in 2008, has surged to $10 million in 2010. Captain Mptu earns $500,000 a year, making him the highest-paid player on the continent – considering that Serie A side Udinese has a top-tier salary of €500,000......

This is the opponent that the perennial Lazio will face in the final of the Club World Cup.

ps: Today is the third watch, Shanghai came back, the whole person was tired, I found that I was a cheap bone, I can't rest, I have no state when I rest, and it will take a long time to restart.

I'm still trying to find form.

At the moment, the state is up and down.

I hope to be able to settle down.

When it stabilizes and there are more manuscripts, it can explode again.

So this period of time is still three watches~
