Section 553 The champion of the competition
U8 Update Fastest Reading Network The death of Benitez's father has cast a shadow over the Liverpool game. After FIFA learned the news, it was also shocked by Benitez's behavior of still leading the team to play. They ordered that in the final, both sides observed a minute of silence for the dead, and at the same time, the twenty-two players on both sides of the match were allowed to play in black veil to comfort the spirits in heaven.
This gave Liverpool a little encouragement, and at this time, they also had to fight their final opponents, Sao Paulo.
São Paulo is a strong team in Brazil, and this team has been playing in the São Paulo state league before. This is recognized as one of the highest level football leagues in Brazil. São Paulo has always been a strong team in the continental league, and its status is also a giant in South America. And, speaking of them, I have to mention - Kaka, who joined Milan, played at this club when he was a child.
Because of Brazil's vast territory, inconvenient transportation, poor organization of the league, and their economic problems have always been a major part of the development of the league, therefore, the Brazilian league did not begin to organize until 1970, and for various reasons, it has not been very well organized. In the early years, they often changed their format, and there were often some ridiculous situations, such as when a strong team was facing relegation, they simply expanded the league to avoid relegation. In their early years, not only did they not establish a standard double round-robin system, but the number of teams in the tournament was always changing, at the most, they expanded the squad to 96 teams in the league, which was undecently large, and at the least, there were only 20 teams. And their league championship is also difficult to show strength, there have been teams that won the Brazilian league, but were relegated from the São Paulo state league.
It wasn't until 2003 that the Brazilian league established a dual round-robin format and began to get on the right track, but because it was still short, it was not recognized by too many people. And before that, when talking about the traditional powerhouse of Brazilian football, it was more about looking at the teams in the state league. The state league of São Paulo and the state league of Rio are recognized as the two highest level state leagues. The former has teams such as Santos, Palmeiras, Corinthians and São Paulo, while the latter has strong teams such as Flamengo and da Gama.
Liverpool's opponent, Sao Paulo, is a powerhouse in the São Paulo Intercontinental League.
There are a few players in their squad who are very famous: one is their goalkeeper Cheney: this goalkeeper is best known not for his goalkeeping skills, but for his free-kick skills. He was Sao Paulo's first free-kick scorer and penalty taker, and it is said that his goal numbers are even close to Chilavert's.
And then there is their backline, and Zhao Yaning is exactly opposite Sicinho. This player is a Brazilian international and he is very strong.
In addition to these people, their famous players are probably only one midfielder Denilson - not the Denilson who set a record for the transfer fee, but their youngster, the young midfielder Denilson, who is rumored to be favored by Arsenal.
If you only look at the lineup, they are certainly not as well-known as the Liverpool players. But when it came to the game, Liverpool were in immediate trouble.
The physical fitness of the Brazilian players is not much worse than that of Liverpool, although they are not as strong, but they still have a slight advantage in flexibility. And their ability to coordinate operations in a wide range is much worse than that of Liverpool, but they are better than Liverpool in their small-scale passing and cutting coordination, as well as the use of some detailed actions.
The technical advantage of South American teams is still not inferior to Premier League teams like Liverpool. Although they can't be said to be inseparable from Liverpool, they are indeed a strong opponent that makes Liverpool unable to talk for a while.
The two sides were locked up in midfield for almost 20 minutes, and the Sao Paulo players, who had been passing at the back, were not in a hurry to press. Actually, they can't hold it down. Liverpool's counter-attacking ability is strong enough to make any team helpless, although Sao Paulo is strong, but there are no world-class players, and if it is not Robben or Ronaldo Jr., it is impossible to kill from Liverpool's midfield.
However, at this time, Liverpool began to be impatient.
Liverpool's game, after all, is the side that takes the initiative. As European champions, they certainly felt they deserved to win. And the opponent is obviously not strong enough, and the opportunity to get a chance in such a game for a long time also makes the Liverpool players a little impatient.
And this made São Paulo almost find an opportunity. They snatched the ball from Liverpool when they made a mistake in a combination. Ciciño sent the ball directly into the box, Mineiro stopped the ball on his chest, and was about to raise his foot shè goal, but Vidic caught up to shove the ball away.
Clean and beautiful tackle, but it still made the Liverpool players sweat.
"Seriously, guys!" Carragher roared loudly in the backfield.
His roar made the Liverpool players restrain their undue nervousness and anxiety, and when Zhao Yaning received the ball again, he also began to plan an attack.
Such a team is self-inflicted with small skills, but it can't be compared to small skills, so we are better than others.
Soon, Zhao Yaning, who was holding the ball on the left side, kicked the ball to Alonso and ran forward. Alonso sent a long ball straight through mid-range to Gerrard on the edge of the box. Gerrard did not stop the ball, but a header ferried and stopped the ball to Zhao Yaning, who ran up.
When Zhao Yaning received the ball, he changed direction in one step and ran along the top of the arc of the big penalty area. At this time, there were already two defenders on the other side staring at him, but in the penalty area, Gerrard and Milito had already rushed over.
He had just noticed that the opponent's midfield line was generally not tall. And this immediately reminded him of the common problem of Brazilian players: bad headers.
If the header is not good and you still want to control the midfield, then there is only one way: rely on the defender to step forward and use the height of the central defender to defend the midfielder. And it was in response to this situation that Zhao Yaning thought of how to play football: find Gerrard with a long pass, force the opponent's defender to come out, and then, run along the penalty area, so that the opponent's defender does not dare to go back, and Gerrard and Milito plug in the same way, and then ......
Zhao Yaning stuffed the ball with a straight kick and sent the ball directly to Milito's feet. Milito receives the ball, kicks the goal, and kicks it towards the bottom left corner of the goal!
“gooooal!!!!! Diego Milito!!! Thirty minutes later, he opened the scoring for Liverpool! ”
Milito looked up proudly: as an Argentine, what could make him happier than beating the Brazilian?
But he also didn't forget that this game, after all, has a lot of meaning, and it is not appropriate to celebrate in the game.
Falling behind by one goal also made the Sao Paulo team unable to sit still. They didn't press immediately, but in the second half, they picked up the tempo of the game. This soon created a second chance for Liverpool.
This time, Zhao Yaning received a pass from Alonso on the left side, and he had the defense of Siciño and Jesu in front of him.
Cicinho immediately posted it, but while Zhao Yaning stood on his left foot, he slammed the ball back with his right foot, out of the range of his steal. Then, Zhao Yaning looked at the position of the two people, and while sending the ball forward, he also squeezed away Sicinho and wiped it into the penalty area.
This brought out his flexibility, flexibility and strength, and it can even be said that he relied on his body to bully people into the forbidden area. And at this time, he was on the left side of the penalty area, Milito also ran to the back point, Zhao Yaning suddenly got up and kicked the ball out!
Milito and Cheney both thought that he was a pass: he was not close to the goal, and the angle could be said to be less than 30 degrees of small angle shè goal, this is a very difficult ball, very difficult to score, but this time, Zhao Yaning chose shè goal. His ball was headed for the ground, and Cheney was a step too late to see it, and although he pounced, the ball bounced off the ground, against his side, and into the goal!
“gooooal!!! Liverpool's second goal! Zhao Yaning hit a goal from an incredible angle! From such an angle, he even dared to get up shè door! ”
Zhao Yaning didn't celebrate, and he just smiled at Milito, who gave him a thumbs up in the distance. The kick just now, in fact, was trying to hit the ground rebound ball, and then bet on Cheney to get rid of it and let Milito score another one...... It's just that who knew it would be his goal.
This is really unintentional.
And with Liverpool's two goals, Sao Paulo's pass began to panic. This time, after Gerrard broke the ball, he hit the goal with a powerful kick directly from nearly forty meters in the midfield, and kicked it towards the goal!
The ball didn't go in, but hit the crossbar, and after a loud bang, it bounced high. However, although this goal was not scored, it also made Sao Paulo's morale depressed, and he was unable to compete with Liverpool anymore.
And this soon gave Liverpool another chance, after getting a corner kick opportunity, Zhao Yaning looked at the position of his teammates and drove the ball to the back point!
Vidic tried to jump, but let the ball fly past him. The ball wasn't meant to be directed at him - behind him, Figo slammed his header into the ground, bounced under the feet of a group of jumpers, and slipped into the net without hindrance!
Three-goal lead! The front line has three people, one goal for one person, and the defense of Sao Paulo is also collapsed. At this time, Zhao Yaning also saw that on the sidelines of the arena, Benitez, who has always been extremely calm and calm, was also a little excited.
"Guys, do a little bit more. In this game, the requirement is not just to win, but to win beautifully, to win jīng lottery. We can't let the coach stay in vain, and don't let future generations look down on us when they mention this game! ”
Gerrard's words made his teammates clench their fists. Soon, Liverpool went on the offensive again. Zhao Yaning, who received the ball in the backfield, was marked by the opponent's three people at the same time for the first time. He swung and swung again, and when he couldn't pass three consecutive swings, to the great surprise of his opponent, he didn't notice that Gerrard was already outside the box.
Raise your feet, long pass!
Gerrard caught up with the ball, he didn't run to the position, he couldn't reach the header, but right in front of goal, he suddenly volleyed the ball towards the goal!
“gooooal!!!! Stephen Gerald !!! He put a stop to this game! Liverpool won, Liverpool won the Club World Cup! ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
