Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 269: Massacre (First Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 269 Massacre (First update guaranteed)

The format of the Club World Cup is as follows. ""Because there are too many participating teams, it cannot be played directly like the Toyota Cup, so there must be qualifying rounds and the main match.

There are seven games, a total of four match days, and the competition format is single elimination. Among them, the champions of the four continents of Asia, Africa, Oceania, Central and North America and the Caribbean will draw lots first and then fight against each other to determine the two winners who will advance to the semi-finals. The champions of Europe and South America advance directly to the semi-finals, where they face off against the two previously determined winners. The winning teams meet in the finals.

In fact, the Club World Cup had already started before Liverpool came to Japan, because two semi-final places had to be determined first.

On the 9th, the first Club World Cup started, with Oceania champion Auckland City playing against African champion Al Ali. As a result, the African champion defeated the Oceania champion 2:0 and won a ticket to the semi-finals.

One day later on the 10th, the Asian champion Al Sadd from the United Arab Emirates lost 1:2 to the Mexican champion team Monterrey.

In this way, Al Ali and Monterey became the two teams with tickets to the semi-finals.

They will play Boca Juniors and Liverpool in the semi-finals.

Although championship teams from other continents have always been the foil for South America and Europe. The finals were basically between the South American champions and the European champions. The Toyota Cup, which determines the outcome, was crammed into several other games and the schedule was lengthened.

But this time, neither team is willing to meet Liverpool in the semi-finals. If they encounter Boca Juniors, they still have hope of competing for a spot in the final, even if it is only a one percent chance.

But when it comes to Liverpool, there is no chance at all. Let alone one percent, there is no chance of 0.01%.

But they have nothing to say about this matter.

It depends on the draw results.

In the end, the championship team from North and Central America and the Caribbean, Monterrey, had bad luck and was drawn together with Liverpool. ""

Al Ali played against Boca Juniors.

The semi-finals will begin on the 13th, and Liverpool will make their official appearance.

※※※

There is one detail that explains why the Liverpool players did not take this game seriously and felt like they were on a trip - Monterrey was their opponent in the semi-finals, but the Liverpool players knew nothing about this team, and even I don’t even know which country this team is from. Not to mention knowing information about the opponent's players.

And Liverpool did not deliberately collect information about this team. The only information available is the video of the match between Monterrey and Al Sadd.

Even Martin O'Neal couldn't name the Monterey players and could only refer to them by their numbers. It shows how little importance Liverpool attaches to this game...

But there's nothing to blame here. After all, there are so many teams in the world. It is impossible to require the wealthy teams to understand all the teams and investigate all the opponents. They do not have such a large amount of energy and manpower to invest, and they will not do so.

It's just a game. With their absolute strength, can't Liverpool still win?

Maybe we won’t meet each other again in the future. Why do you study so much?

In the face of absolutely powerful strength, no conspiracy or trick can be hidden.

Even Martin O'Neill has the same idea and thinks there is no need to study it too thoroughly. When he watched the Monterey game video, he only had an impression of what kind of team this was and the status of their players. This is all very general, and ordinary fans can learn this information by watching a game.

It can be seen from this what attitude the entire Liverpool team has towards Monterrey and what attitude it has towards the Club World Cup.

Perhaps only Boca Juniors can cheer them up a little bit.

The European champions should be so domineering, because the European League is the highest level football league in the world, and the UEFA Champions League is the highest level competition in Europe. In terms of level alone, it has surpassed the World Cup. Sanctuary can stand out from the Champions League. The team that wins the championship is actually the best team in the world. They should have such a mentality and performance. It would be too much to be wary of playing against a team whose name you have never heard of.

Martin O'Neill's caution is also aimed at those opponents in Europe. When dealing with teams that he doesn't even know, he insists on focusing on me and his own style of play, regardless of any opponent.

With five minutes left before the start of the game, Martin O'Neill said to his players in the locker room: "Use their training level and play according to the rhythm you are accustomed to, and you can win. It’s game time, guys.”

He said it easily, and the expressions on the faces of Liverpool's players were also very relaxed.

They smiled and chatted with each other before walking onto the court. They felt less like they were coming to participate in the Club World Cup, which symbolizes the highest level of clubs in the world, and more like tourists who came together to visit the Tokyo National Arena.

※※※

After the Liverpool players came on the field, they actually didn't even remember who the players on the opposite side were. The number and face didn't match up at all, it was almost like a black eye.

But that's okay. It doesn’t matter who is standing on the opposite side or what team it is.

Because...if you think of me as a Red Army soldier, you will die——!

Liverpool launched a fierce attack on Monterey's goal from the beginning of the game.

At the beginning, Monterrey mustered up the courage to deal with Liverpool, thinking that we are not fighting for tickets to the final, nor are we fighting for victory, we are fighting for our own dignity!

As a result, their dignity lasted only five minutes and then disappeared without a trace.

Liverpool opened the scoring in the fifth minute. It was the team's top star and ace shooter, Chen Yingxiong, who scored the goal for Liverpool!

He used his signature header to smash the football into the goal over the heads of Monterey's goalkeeper and defender.

Huge cheers rang out from the stands of Tokyo National Arena - no Japanese team participated in this Club World Cup, and many Japanese fans simply became fans of Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong.

"Ahhh!" The Japanese commentator was also particularly excited. "Liverpool scored first! This is their favorite start and what they are best at! When they take the lead, they can easily defend and counterattack! This is the magic weapon for Liverpool to sweep across Europe!"

However, Liverpool did not shrink and launch a defensive counterattack after taking the lead, as the Japanese commentator said.

Yes, Liverpool will shrink their defense in most cases after taking the lead and play their favorite defensive counterattack.

But that is for those powerful European opponents.

In the eyes of Martin O'Neill and the Liverpool players, this Mexican team, whose name they have never heard of, is obviously not included.

So after they scored, they continued to maintain a high-pressure posture and bombarded Monterey's defense line indiscriminately.

All of a sudden, alarms were ringing in front of Monterey's door, and the wind was trembling. The area as big as the penalty area was plowed over and over again by Liverpool's offense.

The offensive was fast, there were many shots, and the strength was overwhelming. The goals naturally came one after another.

Liverpool led 4-0 in the first half.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice, Suarez and Gotze each scored one goal.

After the start of the second half, Martin O'Neill began to make substitutions. He now really wishes for a rule in the Club World Cup and pre-season warm-up matches that would allow at least 11 players to be replaced. This will allow more players to get opportunities to play and also allow more main players to rest.

It's a pity that this game is an official game, and only three people can be substituted at most.

Replaced Sanchez with Adam Johnson, replaced Inler with Lucas, and replaced Skrtel with Agger.

All three substitutions were used up before the sixty-minute mark.

According to everyone's understanding, using up three substitutions early means that Liverpool needs to rest, adjust, and slow down. The subsequent game officially entered garbage time. Liverpool must also prepare for the next final. The score of this game may not change too much.

However, the development of the game did not develop as everyone thought. Despite early substitutions, Liverpool's offense did not slow down at all. They still dominated Monterrey in the second half.

In fact, playing like this does not consume physical energy, because they firmly control the football and lead Monterey by the nose. Of course, the one who is led by the nose is more tired. Liverpool can control their own rhythm, go as fast as they want, go as slow as they want, and they are not the ones who are tired.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice again in the second half and staged a four-goal show in this game.

In the end, Liverpool slaughtered Monterrey with a score of 7:0 in the semi-finals and entered the final.

The game came as a bit of a surprise to many in the media. They certainly guessed that Liverpool would win easily. But they didn't expect Liverpool to be so brutal. Facing a weak team and the opponent no longer had any sense of resistance, they still showed no mercy, scoring seven goals and completely beating the opponent to a pulp.

Is this showing off one's own strength?

Or are you demonstrating against Boca Juniors? Tell them that this championship belongs to Liverpool. If you are smart enough to surrender in advance, you will be rewarded with a whole corpse! If you don't know the truth and want to compete with our Red Army, this Monterey will be the end!

This score surprised many media, but it won the favor of many fans for Liverpool-the Japanese worship the strong, and Liverpool is undoubtedly a strong one.

The next day everyone was discussing the match between Liverpool and Monterrey with great interest, and talked about every goal scored by Liverpool, especially Chen Yingxiong's goal. As for poor Monterey, no one sympathized with them at all.

As for the Japanese fans who came to the hotel entrance to guard against Chen Yingxiong, there were even more...
