1146 is not in control
Yokohama International Stadium.
Most of the fans in the stands simply enjoyed the game, and for them, Millwall's frenzied five goals in the first half today will only make them unsatisfied, and there may be a hidden worry that the suspense of the second half of the game will be lost and both teams will relax, but they will be satisfied.
However, in the VIP box, as the organizer of the event, the officials led by FIFA President Blatter tried their best to hide their inner anger, and their expressions could not see joy and sorrow.
Most of the journalists from Europe were already preparing to comment on the news after the match, and one of the key headlines was: What is the significance of the Club World Cup?
In the past, the chicken ribs of the Toyota Cup are obvious to all.
Now FIFA is making a big splash to give the cup a makeover, but what?
Not only is it a return to the old tradition of a showdown between Europe and South America.
is also because of the frequent competitions, which further widens the difference in strength when the finals come.
It is conceivable that Sao Paulo played a semi-final before coming to Asia from another continent, and Millwall also played a semi-final, the difference is that Sao Paulo does not have much rotation and is a continuous campaign, while Millwall uses a completely different lineup for the two games.
8:0 swept Saprisa, everyone can accept.
The top gap between Europe and CONCACAF is to be expected.
But in the final, Millwall scored five goals in the first half against Sao Paulo, which is not necessarily something that can be "tolerated" in this competition.
Because the bigger the gap, the results will make the significance of this event more and more diminished!
Is this still what FIFA is preaching: Champions VS Champions?
It feels like a battle between an underdeveloped child and a young adult. There is no suspense at all. One-sided!
That's why FIFA tournament organisers are so angry at Millwall.
Millwall looks like they're smashing signs!
Originally. This tournament has a certain amount of care for South American teams.
Because the league of South American teams is basically not New Year's Eve, that is, it starts at the beginning of the year and ends at the end of the year, so at the end of the year, whether it is the Toyota Cup or the Club World Cup, South American teams can concentrate on it, on the other hand, European teams are still in progress because their leagues are still ongoing, and they have always regarded themselves as football leaders. There will be more or less arrogance and contempt, which will invisibly bring the real strength difference a lot closer.
Just like Millwall every time they come to the Toyota Cup, this time they come to the Club World Cup, and they don't think they will give it their all.
In this game, Aldridge's idea is just to win two goals and stop, and on the face, whether it is Sao Paulo or FIFA, it is all passable.
But I don't know if it was Sao Paulo's broken gesture that made Aldridge feel humiliated, or if it was really about being attacked by UEFA and the media in Europe. He was besieged by reporters in Asia, and he was even more irritated by the errand that he came to participate in this chicken rib event held by FIFA. He had an emotional outburst that he couldn't restrain himself.
Blatter was most furious that Millwall was not only demolishing the FIFA table today, but two days later, he was going to present the World Footballer of the Year award to Millwall's players.
That's right, it's Xiao Luo.
At this stage, looking at the entire football world, no one can match Xiao Luo.
Blatter, who was in the VIP box, subconsciously set his eyes on the sky, and that direction was Europe.
Silently said: Why is there such a strong team in Europe under Johansson?
Perhaps in the minds of outright politicians, football clubs are just pawns, pawns, and cannot be separated from the control of chess players.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Sao Paulo was shocked, and he didn't dare to attack anymore in the second half, but due to the influence of South American football style, even if they defended, they were not strict enough in the defensive system, and they were good at one-on-one local defense, because in South America, there are many players with technical advantages, even if they break through like Xiao Luo, it is actually commonplace, so defensive players are not afraid of one-on-one, which can be called experienced.
However, South American players who can stand at the top level in Europe need another element, that is, technical and tactical literacy, integrate into the team, look at the overall situation, not rely too much on individual skills, and must play team football.
After the break, Millwall's players were more motivated than to be driven by the break, because they understood why Aldridge was asking them to give it their all!
It's a riposte to the world!
A slap in the face to all doubters!
In the second half, the Lions picked up the tempo of the game, tearing apart the opposition's defence with quick passes and dazzling runs.
Schneider, Lahm, the German wing-backs shuttle between the two flanks, they run like the wind, they don't think about miscellaneous things, as long as Aldridge says a word, they can go to the soup.
Running and destroying the opposition's defence, the duo became the brightest figures in Millwall's attack in the second half as the opposition stepped up defensively, using the wings to tear apart the width of the opposition's defence, while also disrupting the opposition's defensive attention with new threat points inserted back to attack.
In the 58th minute, Schneider went directly down on the right side, received Ronaldo's through ball and cut into the penalty area, shook the ball back past Ed Carlos in the penalty area, and when the area in front of the goal was overcrowded, Schneider suddenly passed the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
In that position, Alonso, who fired from a distance, did not stop the ball and hit the goalkeeper with a heavy shot to send the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Aldridge, who was on the sidelines, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cruel smile!
6:0!
The faces of the FIFA officials beside Blatter changed slightly and they whispered.
"What is Millwall doing?"
"If you win, you win, do you have to make the game like this?"
"In previous years, it was only four wins at most"
"They don't know how to be restrained!"
It seems that Millwall doesn't want to be friends with their opponents after the game.
With a six-goal lead, Sao Paulo completely collapsed and the players looked panicked on the field.
On 67 minutes, Millwall caused chaos in the opposition penalty area after another series of long-range shots, and Thierry Henry seized an opportunity to send the ball into the back of the net again.
Cheney, the goalkeeper who was supposed to be famous, collapsed inside the goal, hiding his face as if he couldn't get up again!
The Sao Paulo players stared blankly at their opponents across the country.
What kind of monster are you, you?
Monster!
That's right, monsters!
Champion of the Copa Libertadores and the hegemon of South America, São Paulo, the team that has represented Brazil in the most international club competitions so far!
In this game, the body was torn apart by the wild lion and the soul was severely damaged!
Oturio made a substitution on the sidelines, taking off three offensive players and bringing on three defenders.
His substitutions made the Sao Paulo players even more uplifted.
This is no longer a sign of shrinking the defense and lowering the profile.
Instead, they completely admit defeat and surrender and give up the attack!
I won't even try to resist again!
7:0.
Aldrich felt like it was about the same.
He gestured to the players on the field, Millwall controlled the midfield, and the offense was to shoot long on the periphery, and it didn't matter if the ball was handed over to the opponent, anyway, the opponent didn't have many offensive pieces, and when they obediently sent the ball back, Millwall continued to play long-range shots on the periphery, no longer infiltrating the danger zone, and avoided the opponent's dog jumping over the wall to take the ultimate killing tactic.
At this time, the final of the Club World Cup suddenly took a turn for the worse.
In the past, it was Millwall who was so focused on the game that he could not take care of his opponent to the point where he could not take care of himself.
And now on, Millwall seemed to have lost the interest in playing against their opponents, and hastily ended the attack, as if they disdained to fight their opponents again, and did not even have the interest in rubbing salt in their wounds.
This turn of events is more like a signal to the whole world: when we are doing our best, no one can stop us, and what about when we are not taken seriously, as you say? What is the opponent doing?
The players even played fancy tricks on the field, arranging flower feet to shoot, scorpion tail swinging, and other technical actions that can make the audience applaud, even if the offense fails and the action fails, it will also attract a cheer from the audience in the stands.
"At the end of the 90-minute game, the European champion Millwall swept the South American champion Sao Paulo with a score of 7:0, which is a score gap that we never imagined before the game, in many mainstream predictions, they are optimistic that the gap between Sao Paulo and Millwall should be around two or three goals, but the trend of the game tells everyone in the world, it is meaningless to quantify how much difference there is between Sao Paulo and Millwall, anyway, Sao Paulo is powerless in the game! They were completely destroyed by the mad lion of Millwall! Congratulations to Millwall for finishing the tournament with a thrilling race, winning the tournament and now they can proudly claim that they are the kings of the world! ”
The king of the world?
Perhaps, at least the winner of the Club World Cup can claim to be a world champion, and the media will also quote such a prefix title in the war report.
But in fact, everyone knows that this is just a product of FIFA's commercialization, and the gold content is negligible.
Aldridge didn't shake hands with Oturio after the game, and he thought that Oturio, whether intentionally or unintentionally, seemed to be humiliating him!
With his identity as the World Cup winner, European Cup winner, Champions League hegemon, and Premier League ruler, the opponent's pre-match preparations are so unsightly, Aldridge can't tolerate it, he just feels that he is despised and not respected enough.
In Yokohama, FIFA President Sepp Blatter gave Millwall the trophy with a smile, and two days later, FIFA presented Ronaldo with the World Footballer of the Year award.
However, after UEFA warned Millwall before, at the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, Blatter's speech also insinuated against the Premier League, among which Chelsea and Millwall are considered to be the most dissatisfied teams in FIFA! (To be continued......)
