The Club World Cup is indeed much more influential, and one of Ringer's Club World Cup hat-tricks has landed him on the pages of the world's sports media, and although only East Asia has made headlines, and elsewhere has been mentioned in the Club World Cup coverage in passing, his fame has indeed risen a lot.

After beating Al Ahly in Cairo, the entire Tokyo FC team returned to Tokyo to prepare for the semi-finals. Yokohama, where the semi-finals were held, was so close to Tokyo that it was too late to catch up on the day of the match.

Over the next two days, the two teams of Al Ahli continued to battle for five or six places at the Toyota Stadium, and in the end, Egypt's Al Ahli came out on top, beating Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli 2-0 to claim an extra $500,000 at the end of the tournament.

At the same time, there are two teams called Al Ahly in the Club World Cup, and there are also against each other, which can be called the Al Ahly derby, which can be regarded as the change brought about by Ringer.

Tokyo FC's semi-final opponent is this year's Copa Libertadores champions, Brazilian giants Corinthians.

Bobovic is well prepared for this semi-final and is explaining Corinthians' technical and tactical play to the whole team at the training base.

"Corinthians are a Brazilian giant, last season's Brazilian champions, and although they have a mediocre domestic league record in the two-line battle this season, they won this year's Copa Libertadores in one fell swoop."

'It's going to be difficult for the Corinthians to play but it's not like we don't have a chance.

"When you hear that the opponent is a Brazilian giant, do you take it for granted that the opponent is good at attacking and scoring goals, but this is not the case. Although Brazilian football is all about attacking football, Brazilian clubs don't blindly worship attack, and this Corinthians team is one of them. Their head coach, Tite, is a guy who is good at tuning the defense, and since he took over, Corinthians have gone from being heavy on offense and light on defense to balanced on offense and defense, and arguably more defensively. ”

"Last season Tite led Corinthians to the Liga Liga title and they won the game on defensively. They are the best defensive team in all of Brazil, conceding just 36 goals in 38 league games, with the fewest conceded by any other team close to 50, while their attacking prowess is only 9th out of 20 teams in the Brazilian Liga 1. ”

"Corinthians are also the best defensive team in this season's Copa Libertadores, conceding only four goals in 14 games from the group stage to the final, while their final opponent, Argentine giants Boca Juniors, conceded 10 goals in 14 games, more than twice as many as Corinthians."

"Of course, the opponent is always a Brazilian team, and their offensive ability cannot be ignored~~~"

I have to say that Bobovic is really well prepared, which gives the whole team a basic understanding of the Corinthians team.

Back at the apartment, Ringer deliberately checked Corinthians' lineup and found that there were "acquaintances".

The first is their head coach Tite, who will be the future head coach of the Brazilian national team.

After the 2014 World Cup was slaughtered by Germany, Brazilian football fell into a trough, and the whole world believed that Brazilian football had entered a period of inactivity, and there was nothing to do with the attacking players in the front court except for one Neymar.

In this context, Brazilians also "lived up to expectations", being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Copa America in 15 years, and even more shameful in the Centennial Copa America in 16 years.

And in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Brazil is provisionally sixth in the South American zone. There are only 4.5 World Cup spots in South America, and if this position is maintained until the end, Brazil will miss the World Cup for the first time in history.

In this context, head coach Dunga stepped down, and Tite took over the stormy Brazilian national team. Tite reshaped the team to strengthen the defense when he came to power, and the team began to win one after another, and the World Cup qualifiers rose all the way, and finally became the first team to enter the main tournament of the World Cup other than the host Russia, and it was also logical to become the top three favorites to win the World Cup.

So Bobovic is right, this guy is really good at tuning defense.

Before the World Cup in Russia, the German team and the Brazilian team played a warm-up match, and those who watched the game may think that they have watched a fake game. The Brazilian team of samba football forced interception and defense in the whole field and was impenetrable, and the German tank used the pass-and-control style of play to play offensive football, as if the two teams were wearing the wrong jerseys, and in the end, it was still the defensive Brazil who defeated Germany 1:0, which was a small revenge for being slaughtered at home for 14 years.

In addition to Tite's "acquaintance", Corinthians' team also has Paulinho.

That's right, it's that Evergrande celebrity Paulinho.

Paulinho's experience is also very interesting, he moved to Europe after becoming famous in South America, but failed to prove himself, and transferred to China Super Evergrande two years later. After playing in Evergrande for two years, he went to La Liga giants Barcelona with excellent performance.

This is probably called the curve to save the country.

At present, Paulinho is the core of this Corinthians' midfield attack and defense, full of physical energy, running actively, attacking and defending, known as Lampard of Brazil.

Before the game started, Bobovic first stated in front of reporters: "It's already in the semi-finals, and our goal is definitely the championship." ”

Corinthians' head coach Tite was quick to respond: "It just so happens that we have the same goal. ”

"Lin is in great form, he's going to let those Brazilians know he's great." Bobovich responded again.

"We also have a Chinese in the team, we are very familiar with the Chinese, and he is only a Chinese Kaka, even if we face a real Kaka, we will not be afraid."

Corinthians FC is located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and São Paulo has two famous Brazilian clubs in addition to Corinthians, São Paulo Club and Palmeiras Club.

The relationship between Corinthians and these two clubs is a bit like the relationship between Real Madrid in La Liga and Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona will always be Real Madrid's first sworn enemy, while Atletico Madrid is the second sworn enemy. Similarly, for historical reasons, Corinthians' first enemy was Palmeiras, and the second enemy was São Paulo.

Kaka was born in the Sao Paulo club, Corinthians' second sworn enemy, and Linwai is named Chinese Kaka, so he will naturally be the target of the opponent's attack.

At the beginning of this year, Corinthians also brought in a Chinese player, Chen Zhizhao, which is also the first time that a Chinese has landed in the Brazilian league, so Tite said they are familiar with the Chinese.

In fact, before Corinthians came to Japan, there was speculation in the Chinese media that they might qualify for the Chinese derby in the Club World Cup.

Ringer didn't pay attention to it at all, the guy surnamed Chen couldn't play in Corinthians at all, and there was basically no chance of being brought to the Club World Cup.

Sure enough, after Corinthians came to Japan, there was no Chen Zhizhao in the whole team.

Before the two teams even started the game, there was some smell of gunpowder, and Ringer did not get involved.

He knows that this Corinthians team is difficult to play, even harder than Chelsea. Without Ringer, this season's Club World Cup final would have been a 1-0 win for Corinthians against Chelsea.

The European champions will lose to the South American champions, and that is due to Chelsea's own problems, as well as the reasons why Corinthians are really strong.

However, one of the advantages of meeting Corinthians compared to meeting Chelsea is that they have a psychological advantage.

If they meet Chelsea in the semi-finals, Tokyo FC will probably feel that the opponent is too strong, and they will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle, and they will think of reasons for losing in advance.

In the face of Corinthians, everyone will not be so pessimistic, psychologically they will feel that the other party is indeed better than us, but we are not without opportunities.

Ringer did not participate in these arguments, obediently adjusted his state and waited for the big battle, and he didn't even play with the young lady, he didn't expect people to sit at home, and the pot came from the sky.

Ringer's Club World Cup hat trick really made him popular, especially the first one after the football king Pele, Brazilians are also very concerned about this matter, and Ringer will play against the Brazilian team Corinthians in the next round, and there are many reports about Ringer in Brazil.

In Brazil, the current recognized successor to Pele is Neymar.

Neymar is indeed very similar to Pele, who was also born in the academy of Brazilian giants Santos, became famous at a young age, achieved great achievements at a young age, has outstanding flexibility and skills at his feet, and even has the same height.

With such a high degree of similarity, Neymar is naturally a well-deserved successor to Pele.

Now, Pele's successor has been challenged, and Neymar has yet to complete a hat-trick in the Club World Cup to catch up with the football king, and an Asian kid who suddenly appeared has done it.

The good thing in the Brazilian media has compared Ringer and Neymar, which is really topical.

Both of them are post-90s generations, and they are both the hopes of football in their respective countries (Brazil is generally optimistic that Neymar will lead the Brazilian team back to the World Cup in the future, although Ringer has not yet joined any level of national team, but many domestic media often report him as the hope of Chinese football);

Both are Intercontinental Footballer of the Year, Ringer is this year's Asian Footballer of the Year, and Neymar is last year's and this year's South American Footballer of the Year;

Both have proven their ability to lead the team, Neymar led Santos to win the Copa Libertadores last year, and Ringer led Tokyo FC to win the Asian Champions League this year, and both are the best players in their respective continental cups;

Both men are adept at scoring some beautiful goals, and both were selected in the top three of this year's Puskas Awards (in fact, Neymar won last year's Puskas Awards).

In light of this, it is only natural that the Brazilian media will look for an opportunity to interview Neymar and ask him questions about Ringer.

Well, people are already recognized as the king of domestic football in Brazil, and it is naturally very impatient to be asked such a question.

"I don't know who you're talking about? Chinese, I heard that a team in Brazil brought in a Chinese this year, but I haven't seen him on the pitch until now. ”

"Club World Cup hat-tricks? If the Champions League winners and South American champions are to play in those qualifiers, I'm sure a lot of people can get a hat-trick. If he can lead the team to the final, then let me know. ”

In last year's Club World Cup, Neymar led Santos to defeat the host Kashiwa Sun God 3:0 in the semifinals, Neymar had a goal, but was slaughtered 4:0 by Messi's Barcelona in the final.

The inner ball king may feel that he has been robbed of the limelight, and he is not happy.

What's even funnier is that after the Brazilian media turned over the hype, Ringer was actually deducted the title of Asia's "shrunken version of Neymar".

When Ringer knew about this, he had 10,000 MMPs in his heart, and Lao Tzu was preparing for the Club World Cup at home, and he was scolded like this. Forget it, and give people a "shrunken version of Neymar" hat, the Brazilian media is too TM insulting.

You're the shrunken Neymar, your whole family.

When Ringer was asked about this, he simply replied: "Reach the final?" He wants us to help him get revenge? We'll try to help him get what he wants. ”

Corinthians eliminated Neymar's Santos 2:1 in the semifinals of this year's Copa Libertadores.
