Chapter 54: The King of the World

Dubai is really rich, although there are still many customs restrictions in this Arab country, but Xiao Qing is not here for vacation; Xiao Qing and his teammates are about to start playing in the Club World Cup after a simple break, and they are ready for this competition.

On December 16, in a meeting in the semi-finals of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, the opponent was Seongnam Ichiwa. Arsenal, who debuted as Champions League winners, had a bye and went straight to the semi-finals, while South Korea's Seongnam Ilhwa were the champions of the AFC Champions League, having knocked out hosts Alvada in their previous game to reach the semi-finals.

Xiao Qing doesn't know if this game has caused more attention in Asia, maybe the South Koreans must be very excited at this time, but Xiao Qing doesn't think that this so-called Asian derby will bring much impact to Arsenal, Xiao Qing believes that Seongnam Ilwa will be difficult to withstand Arsenal's impact in the game.

Arsenal were aggressive in this game, goalkeeper Fabianski; Sarnia, Squeraci, Djuroux and Clichy at the back; midfielders Wilshere, Nasri and Rosicky; The three strikers Chamak, Robin van Persie and Xiao Qing,

It can be seen that Wenger's confidence in the team, in this game Arsenal did not even arrange a back in the midfield, their task is to use a more ferocious attack to tear apart the defense of the AFC Champions League champions, Arsenal's attitude towards this game is also very simple, they do not think that Seongnam Ichiwa has the ability to attack with Arsenal, they do not think Seongnam Ichiwa can block Arsenal's ferocious offensive.

Since he is carrying the name of the active No. 1 player, Xiao Qing will naturally not be polite in the game; For the South Korean team, Xiao Qing also does not think they can limit their own play. This is the fourth season of Xiao Qing's career. In the past few years, Xiao Qing has faced all kinds of tough defenses in Europe; So for the obviously weak Asian teams. Xiao Qing is naturally more confident. He didn't think even the Korean, who was known for his mad dog spirit, would be able to cause him problems in the game.

Arsenal's 4-3-3 formation is really no joke, Arsenal are just looking for a goal show in this game, and the Club World Cup game is more like an exhibition game for Arsenal. So Xiao Qing and his teammates will not be polite at this time, they will let other teams understand the strength of Arsenal, and they will let these continental champions know that the strength of the Champions League is not a joke.

Arsenal scored in just three minutes of the game, and the AFC Champions League champion Seongnam Ilhe was powerless in the face of Arsenal, although many Korean media were surprised to find that Xiao Qing was of Korean descent, but Xiao Qing was not polite in the game. He still let the Koreans know the strength of Shijie's first striker, of course, after the game, more Koreans thought that only the great Republic of Korea could cultivate such a strong striker, and it was impossible for a strong football player to exist in a football desert like China.

Just three minutes into the game, Nasri suddenly cut in at the edge of the box; The confident South Korean players panicked and dropped the ball at their feet in the face of Nasri's tackle. And Xiao Qing received Nasri's pass and changed the direction of the ball into the penalty area, with a slight wipe of his ankle, the defender lost his position, and Xiao Qing also calmly volleyed in the penalty area.

In the cheers of the audience, Xiao Qing helped Arsenal take a 1-0 lead; It was an easy goal. Xiao Qing felt that it was really impossible for the South Korean team to bring him too much defensive pressure in the game, and Arsenal did not need to give their all in the game but would definitely be able to take away the victory in the end.

Thirty-third minute of the game. Arsenal completed a textbook pass. Rosicky received Wilshere's cross in the centre circle and diverted the ball low, Nasri won the ball on the right and drove straight in, and then he decisively sent a through ball; Xiao Qing cleverly hit a backheel on the right side of the penalty area, Van Persie got the ball to the man, and then his shot hit the bottom left corner of the goal.

2-0, Van Persie didn't have much excitement even at this time after scoring the goal, the opponent's strength was weak, and it was not surprising that Arsenal took the lead in the game, and Arsenal's players did not have much sense of accomplishment for the abuse. So quite simply, the current Gunners are just a routine game, and they are completely sure that they will win this game.

The AFC Champions League champion played by Arsenal has no power to fight back, although Arsenal also has reservations in the game and does not attack fiercely, after all, they don't know the confidence of Seongnam Yihe, for this team with obvious energy, Arsenal does not intend to provoke ruthlessness. Arsenal have a big future ahead and they don't want to be bitten against a mad dog, and Arsenal don't want to be injured at this time.

So even if Arsenal consciously slowed down the tempo, although Arsenal took a two-goal lead on the pitch leisurely and easily defused the offensive of Seongnam Yihe again and again, although the current Arsenal did not continue to attack, but they still scored with a huge advantage, Seongnam Yihe was completely suppressed by Arsenal in the game and had no chance to fight back.

In the seventy-fourth minute of the game, Rosicky and Wilshere successively divided the ball to the left side, Xiao Qing inserted a high-speed shot and was saved by the Chengnan Yihe goalkeeper, and the follow-up Chamak in the middle tried to make up for the header and did not hit the top, but then he immediately got up and shot again to hit the empty goal. Three to zero.

Arsenal comfortably beat Seongnam Ilhe to qualify for the Club World Cup final, and their huge lead in the competition was enough to make them comfortable to win the Club World Cup.

Playing in the Club World Cup as Champions League players, Arsenal are undoubtedly the favourites to win the tournament, showing their strength in the previous semi-finals when they easily beat AFC Champions League champions Seongnam Ichiwa. Democratic Congo's Mazambe were the biggest dark horses of the tournament, knocking out Copa Libertadores champions Internacional Brazil in the semi-finals, but they were no match for Arsenal and the Gunners were confident of beating the non-champions.

Arsenal continued in a 4-3-3 formation, but the forward line was replaced by Xiao Qing, Bendtner and Robin van Persie, and the midfield was also made up of Denilson, Theo Walcott and Nasri. As for the back line, there were no substitutions.

Arsenal's lead is huge and clear. Although Mazambe is the biggest dark horse in this Club World Cup. But in the face of absolute strength, Mazambe has no chance to show their dark horse posture, in the face of Arsenal, the non-champion without exception once again felt Arsenal's strong strength, the Champions League champion is not a joke!

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Xiao Qing knocked back with his back, Van Persie sent a delicate cushion pass on the left rib, and Bendtner quickly inserted into the middle of the penalty area. He then calmly bounced the outside of his left foot and the ball flew into the bottom left-hand corner of the net to give Inter a 1-0 lead over Mazambe.

Confident that Di Bentner has scored, the joint performance of Arsenal's three strikers is also amazing, in the face of Arsenal's forwards, Mazambey has no power to resist at all, Xiao Qing still does not have the slightest personal attack at this time, Xiao Qing is only obviously closing at this time, but Mazambe is still unable to resist Arsenal's terrifying attack.

Bendtner was celebrating the goal, while the Gunners' players were a little more calm at this point; Although it is more important for the Club World Cup. But Arsenal don't think they'll have any surprises in this game, and they don't think Mazambe can cause them much trouble; Although Arsenal haven't had much time to rest recently. However, their strength is far superior, so it is natural to be more confident against Mazambe at this time.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Xiao Qing, who pulled the side, forced a breakthrough on the right side and crossed the bottom, Bendtner, who was outflanked at the front point, tried to shoot but missed, and Van Persie followed up with a low shot at the back point, and the ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal, 2-0.

Arsenal seem to be very simple in completing the task of the game, in less than 20 minutes the Gunners have a two-goal lead, although the previous dark horse Mazambe is in good form, but in the face of the Gunners, they are really passive to the limit.

At this time, the Arsenal players on the field behaved more relaxed, the two-goal lead Arsenal also reduced the intensity of the attack, the Gunners showed their gorgeous cooperation on the field with ease, Arsenal's delicate jishu and passing and cutting coordination made the opponent powerless; Although Arsenal at this time did not continue to extend their lead with some anticlimactic shots, they really performed well at this time; Everyone could tell that Arsenal were not serious enough in the game, and they were clearly saving some face for the non-champions.

Although Arsenal were not as aggressive as they were in the game, they continued to score as Arsenal won the 2010 Club World Cup with a 3-0 win over Mazambe.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Wilshere sent a through ball in the middle, and Xiao Qing stopped the ball in the penalty area and shook off the goalkeeper of Mazambe and pushed the empty goal with his left foot. 3-0, Arsenal easily won both games in the Club World Cup, and they won the Club World Cup with two 3-0 opponents.

In the cheers of the fans and the loud singing of "We Are the Champions", the Arsenal players still couldn't hide their excitement; Although it is an indisputable fact that the strength of opponents is generally not strong; But the champion of the Club World Cup can be said to be the real shijie champion, the teams here are basically the kings of each continent, Arsenal can win this championship, but also officially announce that Arsenal has reached the top of shijie!

This is Arsenal's first ever Club World Cup title, and the Gunners players are excited to win another meaningful title in their careers. It can be said that this championship has made Arsenal very excited, and the Arsenal players are also quite proud at this time.

"The King of Shijie! There is no doubt that Arsenal is the most haode team on shijie, we are the most haode team in europe, and we are also the most haode club on shijie! No one can doubt Arsenal's quality, we will teach them in the game, we are the best team, we can beat any opponent! Xiao Qing is full of confidence, Xiao Qing, who won the Club World Cup, is also looking forward to the next game, he is looking forward to the upcoming peak showdown with Manchester United in the league, of course, there is also a draw for the Champions League quarterfinals that will begin, Xiao Qing believes that at this time, maybe Arsenal will encounter a big challenge, because maybe they will encounter UEFA's 'accident'.
