Chapter 46, Easy, The Strength Of The European Champion.
Chapter 46, easy, strong European champion.
In fact.
For Liverpool, there is no difference between participating in the Club World Cup and traveling.
The opponent is too weak.
Not enough to make Liverpool cautious.
On the second day of arriving in Edo.
The team did not arrange any training, but let everyone move freely.
Ever since.
The players went out for shopping and shopping.
Or go shopping in the most famous Hongdeng District in Japan.
For many players who love to play.
Came here.
That part-time job is like coming to heaven.
Liverpool's players even dressed up in disguise.
They left the hotel wearing sunglasses.
So the Japanese media began to dig out the physical fitness of Liverpool players.
For example, how many orders did someone order?
and so on.
Soccer player.
They're all hormonal excess guys.
So everyone is not surprised.
Played in Wa country for a day.
Liverpool started training on the second day.
A large number of fans and media arrived at the stadium.
Leon, the general manager of the club who came with the team, felt heartbroken when he saw such a crowd of people.
Because the Club World Cup is a tournament under the FIFA umbrella.
He couldn't help it.
if not.
Just selling training tickets can make a good fortune.
Liverpool is the biggest team in this Club World Cup.
Strength is the strongest.
It is also the favorite to win the championship.
It is a matter of course that they enjoy such treatment.
And this Club World Cup has also attracted a lot of attention --- all thanks to Su Han.
Because of his relationship.
The ratings of this Club World Cup in Longguo are as high as that of the World Cup and the World Cup.
The arrangement of the Club World Cup is like this.
Because there are too many participating teams.
So it is impossible to just play one game like the Toyota Cup.
The Club World Cup has arranged qualifying matches, as well as the main match.
There are seven matches in total.
Complete in four days.
The competition system is a single elimination system.
in.
The champion of the host country Japanese league will have a knockout match with the intercontinental champion of Oceania. The winner will draw lots with the champions of Asia, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean.
The victors will meet the champions of Europe and South America - the latter going straight to the semi-finals.
The winner joins the final.
so.
In fact, Liverpool has not yet arrived in Japan.
The Club World Cup has already begun.
Gamba Osaka, the champion of the host Japanese League, failed to win the Oceania champion Auckland City.
Auckland City were then knocked out by African champions Al Ali.
The African champions are the first to qualify for a semi-final.
a day later.
The Asian champions, Al Sadd from the United Arab Emirates, were eliminated by the champions of Central and North America, Mexico America.
In this way.
African champion Al Ali and Central and North American champion Colombian America broke into
They will play Boca Juniors and Liverpool in the semi-finals.
Although all the time.
The championship teams of teams from other continents are basically the foils of South America and Europe.
Nine out of ten finals.
Both are contests between European champions and South American champions.
So in fact, the Club World Cup is just a few "warm-up" games added to the Toyota Cup.
It doesn't affect the overall situation at all.
However, such a single-game elimination system is not impossible for accidents.
For example, Boca Juniors stumbled and the like-compared to Liverpool, which is so strong that it is almost invincible.
Both the Mexican American and Al Arija teams think they can compete with Boca Juniors.
Of course they all want to face Boca instead of Liverpool in the semi-finals.
But this matter is not up to you.
To be decided by lottery.
finally.
African champion Al Ali had bad luck.
Came across Liverpool.
Mexico America draws Boca Juniors.
The semi-finals will be played on the thirteenth.
Liverpool will officially start their debut.
Liverpool know next to nothing about the African champions.
To what extent is this ignorance?
At the pre-match press conference.
Team captain Steven Gerrard suffered a huge embarrassment.
He actually didn't know which country this team came from...
In the end, the staff of the team whispered in Gerrard's ear to resolve the embarrassment.
This little detail speaks volumes.
Liverpool didn't even get to know the characteristics of their opponents before the game.
Their composition.
Their tactics.
their style.
etc.
If it is a normal game.
The media will definitely say that Liverpool does not respect people enough, because they underestimate the enemy.
But there is no way.
The strength gap is too great.
So Liverpool's players didn't care about the opponent's situation at all.
In fact, there is nothing to blame.
Because there are too many teams in this world.
It is impossible for Liverpool to know all the teams.
With the strength of Liverpool.
Even if it is an encounter.
Deserve to win.
Still will win.
It is even impossible for the opponents to let Liverpool really use their strength.
Ancelotti himself didn't even look at the opponent's situation.
Not to mention Liverpool players.
This can also be seen.
This Liverpool.
Or....
How do the champions of the Champions League treat the Club World Cup?
In their view.
The Club World Cup is even easier than some preseason games.
Maybe only Boca Juniors can cheer them up a bit.
The European champion is like (Zhao De's) such arrogance.
Because the Europa League is the highest level football league in the world.
The Champions League is the highest level competition in Europe.
If only on the technical and tactical level.
Both have surpassed the World Cup.
A team that can stand out and win the Champions League.
It is the strongest team in the world.
Even the World Cup champions can't compare with them --- because the characteristics of the national team and the club are different.
The national team may have different players in each period, the skills and tactics are not stable enough, the composition of personnel is unstable, and there is not enough tacit understanding.
Clubs are different.
The players stay together every day.
Can play very smooth and complex tactical cold.
So the two aspects cannot be directly compared.
before the players come out on the field.
Ancelotti said to his players: You can win this game by showing your level in training. ".
