Chapter 485 Football Popularity King
"After the 'severe winter' of the attendance rate in the previous two sessions, the Club World Cup finally began to thaw this session. Although it still cannot be compared with the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup, it is far superior to Japan's J League.
Fortunately, Japan is not too cold this winter, and the popularity of European footballers will undoubtedly cause more fans to flock to the stadium. Chelsea and Brazilian teams meet in the finals are undoubtedly the result that fans are most looking forward to. Top giants like Chelsea have great appeal in Japan, and Brazilian clubs also have many Japanese fans. After all, Brazilian expatriates are Japan's largest ethnic minority team, and the Japanese have always admired Brazilian football, so fans' enthusiasm for participation has also increased.
FIFA President Blatt said excitedly: ‘Official data proves that the number of spectators in this Club World Cup has increased by 20% compared with 2005, which once again proves that the club's duel can attract the love of thousands of fans just like the national team. We are very satisfied with this, and we also thank the Japanese organizing committee for its excellent performance.’”
"Kaka's scored five yuan alone, and the number of goals on all fronts this season has reached a terrifying 34. Of course, these five goals cannot bring him a Club World Cup championship, unless he has the same wonderful performance in the game a few days later..."
"Kaka is the only protagonist of this year's Club World Cup. He is the most popular player on and off the court. Of course, it is also the headlines of various Japanese sports newspapers these days. Because in addition to just winning the Golden Ball Award and playing a crazy game, he is more likely to win the 2006 World Footballer title awarded by FIFA on the day he won the Club World Cup.
According to the Times, Abramovich One's private plane has arrived in Tokyo and will fly directly from Tokyo to Zurich, Switzerland on the evening of December 17. Kaka will receive the World Golden Globe Award at the FIFA headquarters. Club general manager Kenyon and head coach Ancelotti will accompany Kaka to the destination.
Is this scene very familiar? Yes, they have done this before.
The club spared no expense to rent private jets because Kaka was eager to win the first Club World Cup trophy in Chelsea's history with his teammates. In order to win both the championship, he could only rely on the plane to race against time. Of course, this is a happy pursuit, and the happy busyness that every player dreams of.
Fans bought all the tickets for the finals, and they scrambled to see what wonderful performances will be in the last game before the blockade by Xinke World Footballer. But not only were there flowers and applause, but some fans also made up and sang songs to scold Kaka, such as 'Kakakaka, the best in the world, Fernando!' and so on. Sorry, I don't understand Portuguese, I don't know if these lyrics are very rhythmic and interesting in their language, but I know they are fans of the Brazilian International team, Kaka is the hero of the Brazilian team, but for the fans of the Brazilian International team, he is now the most dangerous enemy, and Fernando is the striker of the Brazilian International team and is also a player favored by Dunga..."
It was natural for Chelsea to win and advance. Even the 6-0 score did not cause heated discussion, and only Kaka scored five goals and caused some trouble.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the upcoming finals.
Because there are many Brazilian players in Chelsea, and the Japanese worship of Brazilian football, the most popular words for this game are the words "Samba duel".
But international coach Braga poured cold water on the media. He denied the samba flavor of international team and reminded: "The only purpose of our coming here is to win, and we did it. Anyone who wants to see samba is invited to the theater, there is no one here."
This is true, because it is difficult to see the shadow of Samba football in this international team. In terms of the style of play, they are even more like Nordic teams to some extent: they focus on impact and rapid offense and defense, and never show off their skills.
Both sides began to prepare for the war, but one side was facing a great enemy, making it seem like they were preparing to fight a world war that would affect the fate of mankind. The other side was laughing and laughing in the training ground. The players not only spent a lot of time interacting with the fans, but even did not even have serious tactical exercises.
What surprised Kaka was that he actually received a call from Ronaldinho before the game, asking him to fight to the death in this game.
After listening for a long time, I finally understood the twists and turns.
It turns out that Ronaldo was born in Gremio, and Gremio and Brazil International are mortal enemies in the same city. Both are the dominant teams of Happy Port City. Gremio won the 1983 Toyota Cup and is the only team in Happy Port City that has won the Intercontinental level or above championship. If Brazil International wins the championship this time, the content of Gremio will drop sharply.
As a player who grew up in Gremio, Ronaldo certainly hopes that Chelsea can snipe Brazil International and let their championship plan die-off finals.
"These are all small things. Even if you don't say it, I will do my best. Speaking of Gremio and Brazil International, I am interested in another thing," Kaka smiled. "I heard that you played a game with Brazil International when you were in Gremio. At that time, the captain of Brazil International happened to be Dunga. Did you make him faint in the game?"
Speaking of this, Ronaldo couldn't help but feel proud and said, "Haha, yes, I passed him and scored the only goal in the game. Do you know what I thought at that time?"
"…The so-called iron-blooded guard is not that strong either?"
"You still understand me."
"Don't be proud of it," Kaka said, "Dunga doesn't look so generous. Do you know what I mean?"
Luo was stunned for a moment, "Ah? I know he is not that...well, it's not true anyway, right?"
"Who knows this thing about human heart?"
"Okay, things have happened anyway. Who would have thought that he would one day become the head coach of the national team? I really can't figure out the people of the Football Association. Pereira is doing well, what kind of coach will he change?"
"The Football Association is not the Football Association."
"But if I choose again, I will still do that... His face looks like he owe it."
"You must be very slouchy now."
"I won't talk about him anymore. Speaking of Brazil International, there is an acquaintance there."
"Who?" Kaka glanced at the Brazil International player list. Except for Fernando and Adriano, no one seemed to know anyone.
"Pai Shang, do you still have an impression?"
"Of course, the physical coach of the national team in 2002, why did he go to the international team?"
"He turned out to be in Gremio, who was almost watching me grow up, and was the best physical coach in the world..."
Pai Shang and Ronaldo have a deep relationship, but the other party is not a beauty. Kaka has a hairy impression. At most, he remembers that there is such a person. After dealing with it for a few words, he hung up the phone.
...
In the first third place competition, African champion Ahli defeated Central and North America champion Mexico America 2-1 and won the third place in this Club World Cup.
The next day, the final finally started.
It is still Yokohama Comprehensive Arena.
"Yokohama Comprehensive Arena is a blessed land for Kaka. This is his third time to participate in the finals here. The first two times were the World Cup finals in 2002 and the Toyota Cup finals in 2004. Those two games brought him two championships. I believe this time will be the third one."
"Chelsea has made significant adjustments to the roster again.
Goalkeeper: Cech;
Defenders: Macon, Lucio, Terry, Bridge;
Midfielders: Falcao, Lampard, Sneider, Kaka;
Forward: Pato, Torres.
This is a 4-2-2-2 formation with four defenders, double back midfielders, double front midfielders, double forwards. It has been tested in actual combat and is one of the most powerful formations of Chelsea. Many people have seen Chelsea's training and think that they do not pay attention to this game, but looking at their starting lineup, you will know that it is impossible..."
“Brazil International also emits 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper: 1-Colemore;
Defenders: 2-Serra, 3-Indio, 4-Eller, 15-Cardoso;
Midfielder: 5-Willington, 7-Ales, 8-Edinho, 10-Iare;
Forward: 9-Fernando, 18-Luis Adriano.

In this way, there are two Fernando on the court, which shows whether Spain's Fernando is better or Brazil's Fernando scores first..."
As players from both sides entered the court, Kaka was still warmly welcomed by the fans. From the beginning of leaving the player passage, the shouts of "Kaka" and "Kaka" in the stands never stopped.
After guessing the coin, Chelsea kicked the ball first.
The players on both sides stood in place, and Torres was about to kick the ball to Pato when a Japanese girl suddenly rushed into the stadium.
The referee, who was about to blew the opening whistle, put the whistle helplessly.
The girl had a clear goal and came straight to Kaka, but the security guards were not vegetarians. Just when the girl was about to succeed, she hugged the person from behind.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm looking for Kaka!" The girl struggled desperately, not even knowing that she was being eaten tofu, "Kaka, I love you!"
All the fans immediately followed suit, and guessed that many people were also ready to move, which scared the security guards and JC on the sidelines to increase their protection immediately.
Before the competition began, the scene began to be messy.
Kaka quickly walked forward and waved to the two security guards who were pulling the girl out.
The two security guards looked at each other and let go of the person, but they still followed behind with concern.
The girl rushed towards Kaka, and Kaka quickly reached out to do something that she should not approach, "Stop and stop! Calm down! If you do this, I can only let them pull you out immediately."
The girl stopped reluctantly, but her face still couldn't hide her excitement, "Kaka..."
Kaka smiled embarrassedly at the referee and the security guard, stood with the girl quickly and took a picture, then signaled the other party to leave quickly.
The girl promised to do it well, but suddenly stretched her neck and came over and kissed Kaka in the face amid the screams of the female fans of the audience.
Kaka has a lot of experience and directly reached out to block his face, allowing others to kiss him directly in his palm.
The security guard quickly stepped forward and took the reluctant female fan away.
"Okay, the pre-match storm has ended, the game has officially begun, the fans are always so crazy..."
"Kaka's popularity is so crazy. According to a survey by the Guardian, he is now like Beckham, the football player with the most fans in the world. Especially in China, his number of fans has exceeded Beckham and Ronaldo. He and Yao are the most popular athletes among Chinese fans."
"Yao? Is that big guy who plays basketball?"
"Yes, it's him, a very interesting big guy..."
"Okay, Chelsea started the first round of attack, and Kaka dribbled the ball and broke through in the middle. Will he score a goal immediately at the beginning like the last game? It's over, the shot... the fake shot was really gone, but unfortunately, the angle was gone, and it was passed to Pato."
Pato is from Brazil International, but before he could get his value, he was abducted to Chelsea. He showed his strong talent in his performance for a short time, which undoubtedly caused Brazil International to feel that he was losing money. Even the players were not very enthusiastic about this former teammate. Indio greeted him with a not-so-gentle-scoring tackle when he first received the ball.
Although Toppa avoided it, he lost the ball, which made him angry.
He did not expect to have a warm reunion, but he did not expect to be treated like an enemy.
After Indio cleared the ball, he pretended to pat his shoulder, "Hey, man, did I scare you?"
Pato glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and walked out of the penalty area.
The football fell in the midfield, causing a fight, and finally ended with a long-range shot from the Brazilian international team.
After experiencing the initial test, both sides began to show their full strength. Surprisingly, Brazil International was not suppressed, but played against Chelsea in a round and back way. Although they were obviously at a disadvantage, they did not have the power to fight back.
Kaka always attracts a lot of applause every time he gets the ball, but what is really exciting in the first ten minutes is the barb-clear clearance of the international defender in a defense.
It was a long-moon pass from Kaka to Torres in the penalty area. The football flew out from the left, and bypassed most of the defensive players and found Torres accurately. As a result, just before Torres was about to lean over to attack the goal, Brazil International's central defender Eller suddenly used a difficult barb action to kick the ball out of the dangerous area.
"A very dangerous and exciting defensive move. Although the head coach of the international team repeatedly stated that their football is mainly practical, for a Brazilian team, even if it is normal, there will be many eye-catching scenes."
"The football was not cleared. Lampard grabbed the ball and gave it to Sneider. Sneider gave Kaka again. Brazil International team just got out of danger, and the greater danger came to them again."
Kaka easily passed the full-back Sierra, and suddenly stretched out his right foot from behind his left foot, gently lifting the ball towards the goal.
Chapter completed!
