Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Road in the Early Morning

December 16th, the final day of the 2012 Club World Cup.

At 15:30 in the afternoon, Corinthians and Monterrey fought for the third place, and finally Corinthians defeated Monterrey 2:1 to win the third place.

After this game, Ringer's Golden Boot of this Club World Cup is basically stable.

At present, in the scorer list, except for Ringer is Monterrey's Delgado, Delgado has scored three goals in three games, but Monterrey's three games have been played, Delgado still wants to score, wait for next year, provided they still have the opportunity to participate next year.

As for their opponents in the final, Chelsea, they had three goals in the semi-finals, one by Fernando Torres, one by Juan Mata and one own goal. Therefore, even if Ringer did not score in the final, Torres or Mata hat-trick would at most tie him and tie for the Golden Boot.

The final senior is happy? Thinking too much, Tokyo FC won't give them this opportunity.

The Club World Cup Golden Boot is not a big accolade, not even a trophy, but it is always a golden boot for an event, so if you can get it, why not?

At 18:30, the final of this year's Club World Cup, the match between Tokyo FC and Chelsea officially began.

I have to say that Chelsea is much more influential, and there are many fans all over the world.

Tickets for this final are hard to come by, as the final was a high-profile affair between a European giant on one side and a nearby Tokyo team on the other.

When Ringer came out of the players' tunnel, he saw a lot of pro-Chelsea signs in the stadium, which was rarely seen in the previous games of Tokyo FC, and Ringer even saw Chelsea signs played in Chinese, which should be Chelsea fans from China.

Of course, this is Japan, which is still very close to Tokyo, and more still support Tokyo FC, and Ringer also saw the Chinese brand supporting him.

"Light of Asia - Ringer!"

Well, Ringer said the title was not bad.

In this game, Tokyo FC continued to be in the 442 formation, and the personnel did not change much, but the banned Chima Watanabe was replaced by Lucas.

Chelsea's side is a 4231 formation,

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Branislav Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Ashley Cole;

Midfielders: Frank Lampard, Ramirez;

Avant-garde: Moses, Mata, Hazard;

Forward: Fernando Torres.

After winning the Champions League last year, a contented Didier Drogba has gone to China to pan for gold, while Chelsea captain John Terry has recently been injured and is currently recovering from an injury in London.

Speaking of which, Drogba's joining the Chinese Super League is also a farce, a farce made by the Chinese themselves.

The president of a flower club in Shanghai of the Chinese Super League offered a sky-high annual salary of up to 12 million euros, and successfully fooled Drogba to join. Then Drogba came to play 11 games, scored eight goals, but the salary was delayed, Drogba left in anger, and now he is almost announcing his move to Galatasaray in Turkey.

In fact, Drogba's so-called sky-high annual salary of 12 million euros is a pre-tax salary, and it also includes some supporting commercial endorsements, as far as Drogba's ability is concerned, it is definitely worth the price.

In this way, a certain flower is repeatedly in arrears, Drogba naturally left to join the Turkish team that is willing to give higher treatment, and by the way, sue the old Chinese club to stink the credibility of the Chinese Super League team.

Didier Drogba has continued to perform well in Turkey and will soon help Galatasaray return to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after 12 years.

In the next few years, the Jinyuan football of the Chinese Super League will become more popular, and a certain flower will come out to play moths again, and another European big name Tevez will join. Te Si Xiang learned from Drogba's experience, signed the contract early, and everything was written clearly in black and white, and then came to the Chinese Super League, taking the world's first annual salary to vacation and play every day.

Tenosis came to the Chinese Super League to play for a year, and then left happily with a salary of 36 million euros after tax, scoring 4 goals.

Good calculation, 9 million euros to score a goal.

Even TM's Champions League final goal is not so exaggerated.

Maybe at this time, a certain flower fan will think that Drogba was really good and cheap, and I missed the best opportunity to rise, and I also made a reputation in vain.

'Hello everyone, I'm John and I'm broadcasting the 2012 Club World Cup final against Japanese side Tokyo FC. As far away as London, England, the European match had not yet started so early, and many Eurosport televisions, including the BBC, broadcast the Club World Cup final on the other side of the world.

With the Premier League giants in attendance, and the UK broadcast in particular, Chelsea are likely to become the first London team to win the Club World Cup, so the BBC has partnered with John Modelson, a veteran commentator in his sixties, and Alan Shearer, a former famous football player.

'Alain, what do you think Chelsea's chances of winning the title?' John Modelson started looking for a topic.

'To be honest, if you're playing against a South American team, Chelsea have been in poor form lately and could have lost, but against an Asian team, Chelsea won't be a surprise. Alan Shearer responded.

"But the Chinese striker on the other side is in good form, he has scored four goals in the previous two games to help Tokyo FC reach the final. The Chinese also had transfer rumours with Arsenal in the summer, and now that his performance in the Club World Cup has attracted more attention, Wenger must hurry ~~~"

Beep~~~

Sakir from Turkey blew a long whistle and pointed his arm forward, and the Club World Cup match officially began.

The Blues kicked off first, and Tokyo FC quickly recovered their defence, with Chelsea pressing on and finally Eden Hazard breaking through with the ball and being stopped by Ringer and Hasegawa.

Eden Hazard has only moved to Chelsea this season and is still a bit young, and it will not be until Jose Mourinho's second spell in charge of Chelsea that Hazard will become the king of the ball. At the moment, Hazard is a bit too obsessed with his dribbling, which is relatively easy to handle.

In the first ten minutes, it was Chelsea who dominated the attack. FC Tokyo were suppressed, but the defence was well organised, and after ten minutes, Chelsea, who dominated the attack, did not get a single chance on goal.

Bobovic clenched his fists on the sidelines, and he and Ringer spent the past two days discussing how to play Chelsea, and finally decided on this style of play.

Chelsea's style since Jose Mourinho's time has been bus defence, they are good at counter-attacking, and now Tokyo FC has taken the initiative to give them the ball, with their current state and various internal problems, Chelsea who have the ball are likely to not be able to play a decent attack.

And Chelsea is a European giant, so we can't face Asian teams all the time. It's normal for them to put a bus against a European giant, but they can't afford to lose this person when they face an Asian team.

Of course, if Chelsea can score first, they will be able to do it.

So what Tokyo FC has to do is not to put Chelsea ahead.

With the ball in the air but unable to break through the opponent's goal, never being able to take the lead, and not being able to play the best defensive counterattack, Chelsea will only play more and more anxiously, then the opportunity for Tokyo FC will come.

In the 12th minute, Chelsea, who dominated the attack, finally completed the first goal of the game.

Frank Lampard hoisted the ball into the box and as soon as Torres got his hands on it, the ball was disrupted by the approaching Masato Morishige, and Chelsea were awarded a corner.

The corner kick was a bit chaotic in front of the Tokyo FC goal, Cahill stabbed it at the end, and Shuikami Gonda got the ball safely.

Chelsea's shots were taken by centre-backs, which showed that they were already pressed on the line-up, so Tokyo FC had to take advantage of the counter-attack.

In the 17th minute, Chelsea attacked again when Juan Mata's return pass in midfield was a little careless and Ringer saw an opportunity right away.

"Lin Jun, beautiful steal!"

Ringer sped up to complete the break and launched a counter-attack on the spot.

Coming up front with the ball, Ringer faced Cahill first. Gary Cahill only joined Chelsea in January and has been given more and more opportunities as Terry is getting older, having been Chelsea's starting centre-back in last season's Champions League final.

Facing Cahill at high speed, Ringer simply smashed the ball and changed direction to shake off the opponent.

"Lin Jun, break through Cahill!"

But past Cahill, Ringer is in trouble. Another Chelsea centre-back, David Luiz, immediately pressed up and stuck Ringer with his body in a one-on-one defence, and Ringer entered the box twice to try to smash the ball away from the opponent but failed, but Cahill, who had just been passed, had already chased after him and began to combine to pinch Ringer.

Sandwiched between the two, Ringer was helpless and had to fall to the ground in a physical collision with Cahill, and then immediately take a penalty to the referee.

However, the Turkish referee thought it was a normal physical collision and signaled that there was no penalty.

"Penalty! It was a foul in the penalty area~~ Penalty!! Bobovic was furious on the sidelines, as if it was a serious foul.

Ringer reluctantly got up and walked back, just now the ball did belong to a range that could be judged or not, and the referee couldn't help it if he didn't give a penalty.

Cahill, who had just been passed by Ringer once, seemed to be very angry, and rushed over and said, "Joker, don't pretend, your circus show has no effect." ”

"Really? But for me, crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning! Ringer suddenly thought of this sentence and responded to him.

This sentence seems to have been said by an NBA star, and was temporarily borrowed by Ringer.

Maybe it was because he had been in Japan for a long time, and Ringer's English pronunciation was not very standard, and the other party didn't react, but it took him two seconds to come back to his senses, and Ringer was already far away, leaving Cahill alone in anger.

"Gary (Cahill) seems to have had some quarrel with that Chinese, he should have suffered some losses in the quarrel, and was said to be stunned there for two seconds, I don't know what the Chinese said to him?" BBC's John Modelson said.

"Gary is an England defender with high expectations, but he is really bad this time, he rushes forward recklessly, and if it weren't for Luiz's excellent performance, this time he would probably be broken by the Chinese." Alan Shearer has a different answer.

After a minor surprise, the game resumed, with Chelsea again leading the attack, but they paid more attention to Ringer's marking.

In the 21st minute, Eden Hazard won a free-kick for Chelsea with the ball in front of the penalty area, and David Luiz's direct shot hit the wall.

In the 25th minute, Tokyo FC had a counterattack opportunity, and Ringer saw that Cech seemed to be standing a little forward, so he shot directly from 30 meters away from the goal. But Cech was always Cech, and Ringer judged his intentions as soon as he kicked his feet, and immediately stepped back and confiscated the ball steadily.

In the 29th minute, Moses received a return pass from Torres, and a powerful volley from the right side of the box threatened, but fortunately, Osamu Gonda lifted the ball over the crossbar.

In the 35th minute, Tokyo FC broke the ball again in midfield, and Ringer passed Cahill again at the edge of the penalty area, and after adjustment, he fired a powerful long-range shot. Ringer felt good this time, but the ball bounced off the crossbar and the right post and bounced into the box before David Luiz cleared the ball.

In this way, both sides have been able to occasionally play some threats in the back and forth, but there has been no goal.

Chelsea's defence is solid, especially David Luiz, one of Europe's top centre-backs, and Ringer has been forced to shoot from beyond the periphery. It's Gary Cahill, this guy may not have fully grown up, and Ringer thinks it's still easy to deal with him.
