At 15:30 p.m. on December 13, the semi-finals of the 2012 Club World Cup, Tokyo FC vs. Corinthians will be played. This game will be followed by another semi-final between Chelsea and Monterrey.

Yokohama International Stadium, where Ringer played a game in the league this season, but that game was rotated in the AFC Champions League, where FC Tokyo won a draw and Ringer did not score.

At that time, the stadium with a capacity of more than 73,000 people was less than half full, but this time, the entire stadium was full.

When the whole Tokyo FC team came out, the whole stadium burst into loud cheers.

"Gas Team ~~~ Gas Team !!"

“Lingoal~~~Lingoal！！”

There are also a small number of shouting Corinthians, Brazil is the kingdom of football after all, it is said that more than 1,000 Corinthians fans flew halfway around the world to support their teams in Japan today, and if Corinthians can reach the final, there will be two or three thousand fans flying over.

Standing in the middle of the court, Ringer sighed a little: this is where the predecessors fought. In 2002, alien Ronaldo scored twice here to help Brazil beat Germany 2-0 and win the fifth Hercules Cup in Brazil's history.

Now ten years have passed, Ronaldo, Kahn, and many of the stars who fought here have retired, and now the football world is the era of Melo.

"Hello viewers and friends, this is the semi-finals of the 2012 Club World Cup broadcast by Tencent Sports for you, the match between FC Tokyo and Corinthians, the two sides are ready, and the game is about to start."

Tokyo FC is still the same old starting formation,

Goalkeeper: Shuichi Gonda;

Defenders: Yuhei Tokunaga, Masato Morishige, Zhang Xiuxian, Kosuke Ota;

Midfielders: Hideto Takahashi, Hasegawa, Takuji Yonemoto, Yohei Oyama;

Forwards: Ringer, Chima Watanabe.

Corinthians' starting XI is also a 442, and many defensive teams prefer to use the 442 formation, which is the most comprehensive formation covering all positions on the pitch and helps to defend. However, with the rise of Mourinho, the 433 defensive formation has also become popular.

Corinthians' starters,

Goalkeepers: Cassio;

Defenders: Alejandro, Cacheo, Paulo Andre, Fabio Santos;

Midfielders: Ralph, Paulinho, Henrik, Danilo;

Forwards: Emerson, Guerrero.

Corinthians are all unknown in the team except for Paulinho, and there are not even many who have gone to Europe before or will be able to play in Europe in the future, only the Peruvian Paulo Guerrero in the front line played for Bayern and Hamburg in the Bundesliga in his early years, and is considered a rare star player. There is also goalkeeper Cassio who played for two years in the Eredivisie Eindhoven in the early years, but also returned to Brazil soon after.

At the beginning of the game, Tokyo FC took the lead, the ball came to the front court with three passes and two downs, Ringer took the ball on the line of the penalty area, and Caceo, who was guarding him, seemed to be a little careless, Ringer flashed the ball horizontally and flashed the opponent, and immediately kicked the goal.

"Lin Jun, the opening door!"

The ball was headed towards the top right corner, but the ball was still pulled out by the opposing goalkeeper Cassio with his fingertips before entering the goal, and a sigh rang out in the stadium.

"Lin Jun came to a very threatening shot at the beginning, but unfortunately the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and finally dragged the ball out."

"Defend ~ Defend! What are you doing? Don't give the Chinese a chance to get up easily! Corinthians' head coach Tite shouted from the sidelines.

Tite knows his players are a bit underwhelming, with South American teams rarely being eliminated in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, so his players have set their sights on Chelsea, believing that the final against Chelsea is what they value.

But how can a player who can become the first hat-trick after the restructuring of the Club World Cup be so easy to deal with?

Ringer's opening long-range shot refreshed the fans and made Corinthians start to focus on defending him.

In the 7th minute, Tokyo FC attacked again to the front, and Peruvian striker Guerrero returned to his penalty area and tackled Chima Watanabe with a fierce tackle.

"Give him cards ~ Give him cards!" Bobovich shouted from the sidelines.

"Mr. referee, this is a bad foul."

"That guy should be given a red card!"

Tokyo FC was also putting pressure on the referee, but in the end, the referee only gave a warning.

So a minute later, Hideto Takahashi pushed Guerrero, who was dribbling the ball, behind his own half, and out of the "principle of fairness", the referee also gave Hideto Takahashi a warning.

It was only a few minutes into the game that some gunpowder began to smell on the field.

In the ninth minute, Danilo's volley from the left side in front of the box went wide of the goal and Corinthians also had their first shot on goal.

Both sides played a little emotionally, Ringer didn't know what was going on, I was called "the shrunken version of Neymar" I didn't get angry, I don't know where these guys got their anger?

However, Ringer also vaguely found that the other party's anger was not small, and he might have a chance at this time.

Maybe it's because he can check his state at any time, Ringer is very sensitive to the invisible and intangible, and has an inexplicable intuition, Ringer feels that the goalkeeper Cassio opposite today seems to be in excellent condition.

If that's the case, with a team with a good defense and a goalkeeper in excellent form, then FC Tokyo are going to be in trouble today.

In view of this, Ringer was prepared to make a plan in advance.

At present, the two sides are a bit angry, and they may be able to take advantage of it at this time.

In the 12th minute, Hasegawa was fouled with the ball in midfield, and Tokyo FC won a free kick that did not threaten in midfield.

Hasegawa sent the ball out quickly, Ringer received the ball and Yohei Oyama made a one-two, and came to the opponent's penalty area not far away.

Paulinho came to intercept Ringer, who broke through to the right, causing Paulinho's center of gravity to shift, but he pulled the ball back at his feet and accelerated past the opponent's left.

"Beautiful~~ Lin Jun's breakthrough!"

Broke through Paulinho, crossed the penalty line and entered the penalty area, the opposing defender Cacheo immediately came head-on, Ringer jumped lightly and stepped on the ball alternately with his left and right feet, turned around and pulled the ball, and a Marseille maneuver avoided the opponent.

"Lin Jun's Marseille slalom ~ Marseille slalom!!"

Marseille turned around and was already facing the goalkeeper, Ringer took a step forward, and the other Corinthians defenders in the box also came towards Ringer with great momentum. There wasn't much time left for him, and between the lightning and flint, Ringer's thighs tensed, his muscles exerted, and he burst with one kick.

"Lin Jun~~ Knock on the door!!"

The ball was hit hard by Lin Ge's instep, and his speed increased to the maximum, and he went straight to the goal. The moment the ball flew out, the Corinthians defenders who rushed to the side also knocked Ringer to the ground.

Cassio was ready, crouching on his legs, ready to save the dangerous shot. But Cassio immediately realized that the shot was coming at his crotch, and he had to sit on the ground immediately, trying to block the extremely fast ball.

But he was still a step too late, his butt was still more than 20 centimeters off the ground, and the ball had already arrived, just leaking through his crotch and entering the goal.

"Lin~~~goal~~~~" TV Tokyo's commentary let out a long hissing sound.

"Lin Jun~ It's him again!!"

"In the opening ten minutes, Lin Jun relied on a personal breakthrough to enter the penalty area, and then scored with a blast!"

'The Gases have taken the lead and hopefully they can hold on and keep the score and they will be the first Asian team to reach the Club World Cup final.'

After seeing the ball fly into the goal, Ringer got up from the ground and rushed to the sideline to receive the cheers and shouts of the fans with open arms.

“Lingoal~~~！”

“Lingoal~~~！”

"Lin Jun~~ love the way!"

Bobovic was also cheering and celebrating with his assistant coach, and from time to time he threw a provocative punch at Tite, who was in the Corinthians' dugout, not far away.

"This is Ringer's fourth Club World Cup goal, and he is tied for the top scorer in the Club World Cup after the restructuring with Messi, Brazilian Denilson and Egyptian Abtelika with four goals." As always, Pain's commentary is recording for Ringer.

Due to the format of the Club World Cup, many players have only participated in one or two editions in their careers, and each session is often only two or three games, so the total number of goals is not much, and Ringer's four goals are tied for the first place in the overall scorer list.

Tokyo FC scored first, and Corinthians were a little anxious. As the game restarted, they started to press the attack.

In the 18th minute, Tokyo FC got a good counterattack opportunity, Ringer quickly counterattacked with a diagonal pass through the defense, helping Watanabe Chima get a single chance, but Watanabe Chima's final shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper Cassio's outstretched legs, and finally became out of the bottom line.

"Watanabe, it's a shame, it's a good opportunity to extend the score."

Tite, who was on the sidelines, noticed that the scene was a little out of control and began to shout to remind the players.

"Steady~ Steady!"

"Stabilize the defense first, don't press it rashly, we still have time."

I have to say that this Tite does have some ability and has a good control over the team. Soon Corinthians calmed down, and the idea that FC Tokyo wanted to expand the score with a counter-attack was choked.

Against this backdrop, the two sides began to attack back and forth, and both teams were very concerned about defense, and the sidelines became less pretty.

In the midst of such a coming-and-going, Corinthians instead looked for an opportunity.

In the 30th minute, Corinthians got a corner kick opportunity, Peruvian Guerrero relied on his physical advantage to force Zhang Xiuxian's header into the goal, and the ball flew into the near post after a small bounce in front of the goal.

'Corinthians equalised, which was really bad news, and then the two sides were back on the same page.

Although the score was equalized, the double reversal still continued to play according to the previous style of play, the positional battle slowly wore off, and the most important thing was to stabilize the defensive line.

At the same time, Ringer also confirmed that the goalkeeper on the opposite side was really in good shape, and it was probably difficult to break through the opponent's ten fingers, and Ringer himself did not have much confidence to score another goal against him.

At half-time, neither side made much adjustments.

In the second half, the two sides were still slowly passing the time, and Bobovic had told everyone to be mentally prepared for extra time and penalty shootouts.

However, in the 78th minute, the opponent used up a substitution, as if they wanted to try to end the battle in 90 minutes, but they were broken through the defense by a counterattack by Tokyo FC, and the opponent gave up this idea.

In this counterattack by Tokyo FC, Ringer's threatening shot was finally defused by the opponent's in-form goalkeeper.

In this way, the 90 minutes ended with the score still 1:1.

"Neither side was able to take their chances in the second half, and it looked like they had to go to extra time, which will be the first time in this Club World Cup."

The coaches of both teams have a plan in their hearts, that is, they don't give each other a chance, and everyone comes to bet on luck to see who is lucky enough to play a world wave to kill the game, or to fight for luck in a penalty shootout.

In terms of the format of the Club World Cup, in the battle for five or six places and the battle for three or four places, a direct penalty kick will be taken in 90 minutes, but in other games, a 90-minute draw will be played in extra time, and a draw in extra time will be a penalty.

Ringer is not afraid of penalty kicks, and Tokyo FC has experienced two penalty shootouts this season, both of which have been defeated by their opponents.

The only thing Ringer is worried about is the goalkeeper on the other side, who is in great form, and the penalty shoot-out will definitely have a big impact when the time comes.
