Chapter 813: The Glory Comes Again
Before Arsenal headed to Yokohama, the Club World Cup had already started early.
From the start of the playoffs, Hiroshima Three Arrows defeated Auckland City 1-0, to the quarter-finals of the Mexican superpower Monterrey and Saudi team Ahli advanced one after another. As the European champion, Arsenal only needs to enter the semi-finals of the event.
When their flight arrived in Yokohama, the quarterfinals had just finished. Under the leadership of the professor, the team trained simply at the venue provided by the event organizer and waited for the final draw result to appear.
Soon, the opponent that the Gunners need to face came out, Monterrey, the Mexican team, drew Arsenal, and Ahli, against South American champion Corinthian, who also entered the semi-finals.
The professor only got information about Monterrey the day before the game started. It was quite difficult for the assistant coach who was responsible for European events to get this information.
From the list to the characteristics of each team member, Wenger looked at the list in his hand carefully and finally had a plan in his heart. The plan was very simple, and 433 directly pushed the ball.
"We will play 433 in tomorrow's game, and the tactics are also very simple, and we will quickly end the game with offense."
The day before the game, the professor stood in front of the players and completed the layout in an extremely simple and rough manner.
"Feng, Giroud, Aguero, three strikers."
"learn!"
"Nemar, Ganso, Wilshire's three midfielder."
"receive!"
"Alba, Mertesacker, Vermalen, Alves four defenders, goalkeeper Szczesny."
There is no hidden weakness. The semi-finals are all elites. The lineup presented by the professor is completely a final lineup, which makes the players directly understand the meaning of their coach.
After the lineup was announced, the professor signaled the players to go back and rest, and everyone went straight to their rooms to entertain themselves.
Compared to the Champions League and the League, the Club World Cup is more of an exhibition match for the Gunners, and the players are not under much pressure. Liu Feng, Gansu and others also played several live games in the hotel room with great interest.
The next day, when Arsenal's starting lineup was announced, the fans who were looking forward to this game were very surprised. They thought that at most they were very excited to see one and a half main lineup.
When the game started, one side of the game was more ruthless than anyone expected.
"The ball is in again! Liu Feng scored twice with all his firepower. In the 30th minute of the game, Arsenal rewrites the score again!"
Ten minutes into the game, after intercepting the ball in the midfield, after a series of dazzling transmissions penetrated into Monterrey's halftime, Neymar, who dribbled the ball on the left, chose to give the ball directly to Liu Feng, who was on the same way as him.
First, a midfielder who stopped and turned around and left behind in front of him to follow the defense. The defensive pressure Liu Feng faced in such a game was simply incomparable, and his breakthrough seemed easy and freehand.
When he rushed into the penalty area with his ball under the double-team of two defenders, the screams of the fans at the scene almost filled the entire court.
Everything else is naturally very simple. When a simple push-out corner, the ball rolls into the goal from the right side of the goal.
As for the second goal, it was a simpler and more direct goal. Aguero on the right went down the bottom after receiving the pass, unobstructed and passed the ball unobstructed until he made a cross at the critical position and passed it to the far point of the penalty area.
Liu Feng gently rubbed the ball while running, and the ball flew past the goalkeeper and floated into the goal.
When he rushed to the corner flag area and shouted loudly towards a stand full of red and white tones, the huge cheers resounded through the sky again.
The score and situation in the first half were retained. When the halftime was in, the Arsenal players who led 2-0 were all in good condition, and the defensive players didn't even sweat much.
In contrast, their opponents, the huge strength gap made the Monterrey team members only use more running positions to make up, which naturally led to intense consumption of their physical strength.
After the second half, Arsenal still did not relax their offense. They used a high-pressure tactic against Monterrey at the beginning, which made the players of the Mexican team pass the ball more and more hasty.
Finally, in the 49th minute of the game, the ball changed hands again. Wilhel, who had intercepted the ball, took the shooting and pushed forward with a meteor, and looked like a red tank against the backdrop of the opponents around him.
When Wilshire advanced to the threatening area, he took the ball with a slight point and once again made a defensive player return.
"Ganso, who followed up in the middle, took the ball and shot it! He did not choose to control the ball, and the ball was given to Giroud in the middle. Giroud turned around and shot!!!"
"Bang!"
With a light touch of the ball with his right foot, he turned around and followed up and shot directly. This time, Dajirou showed his erotic side again.
The ball flew past the foot of the unexpected defender and flew into the goal at a height that made the goalkeeper feel uncomfortable.
"3-0! In the 51st minute of the game, Arsenal led three goals and was killed directly. Congratulations to them for advancing to the finals of the Club World Cup."
Before a game, everyone thought there was no suspense and the result of the game was indeed no suspense. The game was announced to be over early. Giroud, who was hitting the ball, ran to the sidelines with Aguero and Ganso who were rushing up, and Arsenal continued to celebrate happily.
But the final score of this game has not been fixed. In the 67th minute of the game, just as the professor had arranged the substitute on the sidelines to prepare for the appearance, a foul occurred on the court.
"I was directly pulled down in the penalty area. Monterrey's defender chose to foul after being thrown away by Liu Feng. The red dot package was sent directly, with an undisputed penalty. This player will miss the team's three or four finals."
A foul in desperation created an opportunity for Liu Feng to complete his hat trick. When he stood in front of the ball and looked at the trembling goalkeeper in front of the goal, he did not disappoint the expectant fans.
"Small steps are taken, and you can directly follow up with a volley!!!"
"Bang!"
The ball left Liu Feng's feet like a white lightning. Monterrey's goalkeeper was over before he even had time to react.
"The ball is in! It is in! It is in! It is in! Hat trick~ Liu Feng completed his hat trick in the Club World Cup."
“Feng!Feng!Feng!”
In the distant China, domestic fans have been in full swing again. The fans are shouting at their homes, and Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun are also extremely excited.
As for the field, the Gunners had already raised their flags and souls high. This was a glorious moment for Liu Feng, and he once again became the protagonist of the whole audience.
