Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 304 Chongqing fans are on our side! (Three chapters are completed today!)
The Asian Club Cup East Asia semi-finals match adopts a single round-robin system. The two games on February [-] are Yunjiatianyu vs. Iwata Jubilo of Japan, Dalian Dongfang vs. Pusan ​​Daewoo of South Korea. The opponents of Jiatianyu and Dalian Dongfang changed. On February [-]th, Yunjiatianyu and Dalian Dongfang fought against each other. Therefore, for the two teams, Yunjiatianyu and Dalian Dongfang, the schedule is definitely very favorable Yes, in the last round, the two sides could play a tacit match depending on the situation at the time-Chinese clubs have never had such an opportunity before.

Although Yunjiatianyu and Dalian Dongfang are absolutely life-and-death opponents in the domestic league, but in this external situation, the two clubs are still the same-of course, if whoever wins in the end can qualify, Naturally, the two sides will not be polite to each other.

Yunjiatianyu’s first opponent was the Iwata Jubilo team. They were the league champions of the J-League in 97. The so-called “internationally compliant” Asian Club Cup competition system arranged by the AFC made the top three Chinese, Japanese and Korean clubs in East Asia the best. They suffered enough, like Yunjiatianyu, they won the league championship in 97, but they would have to wait until 99 to reach the final stage of the Asian Club Cup. , then maybe they will be massacred. It is a pity that the East Asian champion team cannot appear in the Asian Club Cup in its strongest state. For example, Iwata Jubilo lost the Japanese J-League in 98. The champions, their current ability is definitely not as strong as when they won the championship.

However, Iwata Jubilo's team can be considered a strong team now. The forward Masashi Nakayama, the midfielder Toshiya Fujita, Hiroshi Namami, and Takashi Fukushi, and the defenders Oku Daisuke and Makoto Tanaka are all members of the Japanese national team. From this point of view , much higher than Yunjiatianyu, after all, Yunjiatianyu doesn't even have a Chinese national player in the team.

Pei Wei dismissed this. Although Yunjiatianyu does not have a Chinese national footballer, there are future Brazilian international footballers, Italian international footballers, Portuguese international footballers and Swedish international footballers, and they are all main core players. Their overall strength is definitely higher than that of the other party. one chip.

And what reassures Pei Wei the most is that the place Dunga was going to go after leaving Stuttgart was Iwata Jubilo. Originally, he should have helped Iwata Jubilo win two J-League championships and this year's Asian Club Cup championship. He returned to Brazil to retire, but was intercepted by Pei Wei halfway. Although Dunga's absence may not necessarily affect Iwata Jubilo's combat effectiveness, it is definitely easier to deal with than Dunga's presence.

Although the four Olympic players Ailin, Wan Peng, Zhu Guosheng and Wu Jiang flew directly to Chongqing to join the team on the [-]th after finishing the Dunhill Cup, they played five games in the past ten days. No matter how young they are, no matter how strong their physical fitness is, they will definitely not be able to maintain their best form, so Benitez still did not arrange for them to play in the game on the [-]th. Even Wu Jiang entered the squad, and the other three were seated Watch the game from the stands.

The main reason for keeping Wu Jiang is that Yun Jiatianyu doesn't have any substitutes for the full-backs. Benitez put him on the bench just in case, but unless Zheng Zhi and Hu Junli are injured, Benitez Tess wouldn't send them on.

Benitez’s starting lineup is the main lineup during the team’s training some time ago. The goalkeeper Xiaofei, the four defenders from right to left are Zheng Zhi, Zhou Nan, Lucio and Wu Jiang, and the midfielders Zhang Yiming and Cato After Soto, Deco was organized in the front position, Ljungberg was in charge of the wing, and the two forwards were partnered by Adriano and Tony.

After Sun Chenghai left, Yunjiatianyu's side attack was mostly done by Ljungberg. Although Zheng Zhi is comprehensive and has strong offensive and defensive capabilities, his speed is not very fast, and it is easy to attack and defend The reason for not coming back, so when he is playing a full-back, he is more honestly defending behind, and when he occasionally gets an assist, Gattuso must be behind him to make up for it.

In the locker room, after Benitez explained the last tactic, Pei Wei waved his hand: Let's go!

The players filed out, and Pei Wei stood in front of the door and gave them high fives one by one.

"Do it well! Get rid of those little Japanese!" Pei Wei said every time a player passed by.

Adriano came to the end intentionally or unintentionally. When Pei Wei gave him a high-five, he whispered in Portuguese: "Boss, I will work hard... I will try my best to give you the best wedding present."

Pei Wei patted his shoulder and smiled happily.

**************************************
For Iwata Jubilo's defenders, Yunjiatianyu's two forwards are simply their worst nightmare.

Tony, who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms, and Adriano, who is 1.8 meters nine and weighs 87 kilograms, are both heavy tanks on the field and Shaquille O'Neal on the football field in Iwata Jubilo's penalty area. Standing, the Japanese defenders, whose average height is no more than 1.8 meters, are short in momentum.

Although Tony is taller, he is thin. Jubilo Iwata's defenders struggled to deal with it, but they could hold on through gritted teeth. Even if they couldn't beat him in the header fight, at least they could interfere with him. header.But Adriano is different. Although he is four centimeters shorter than Tony, his weight is only one kilogram lighter, and now he is basically full of muscles without any fat. It's like Shaquille O'Neal received a pass in the three-second zone, unstoppable!

Seeing that Adriano is in excellent condition, several other offensive players have tacitly focused on sending the ball to his feet. Adriano often retreats out of the penalty area to get the ball. After he got the ball, he rushed forward with the ball. His strong body hit Jubilo Iwata's defense time and time again. He alone was enough to disrupt the opponent's defense. Restless.

When Iwata Jubilo's players began to focus most of their attention on Adriano, several other seasoned foreign players were constantly looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense, although Tony and the others were not young enough. Big, but they can be regarded as veterans. They were happy to let Adriano, a stunned young man, attract everyone's firepower in front, and then they came to complete the final blow.

I believe that as long as fans of later generations should know, when Tony's position and ability to play the ball, Ljungberg's wing breakthrough, Adriano's strong impact and Deco's post-insertion organizational ability can be organically matched When they are together, what a terrifying attack power it will have.

Although they are still young, and many of them have not yet reached their peak, but in this era, in the Asian arena, the appearance of such a combination is basically invincible.

In the No.203 minute of the first half, Deco took the ball in the midfield. He took the ball and advanced a few steps forward. Seeing Adriano withdrawing again, he immediately made a passing posture.

Immediately, two players from Iwata Jubilo attacked from left to right. They had already suffered enough from Adriano's impact in the previous game, and they no longer dared to underestimate this 17-year-old striker. He eliminates threats before he gets the ball.

But Deco's way of kicking changed before touching the ball. The direct pass turned into a diagonal pass. It rolled between two Iwata Jubilo players and landed exactly three meters in front of Ljungberg!
Ljungberg caught up with the ball in two strides, took advantage of the trend to the left, and broke through!

Ljungberg dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line. At this time, Tony and Adriano had rushed into the penalty area one after the other, and Jubilo Iwata's defenders immediately stuck to them.

Ljungberg made a pass, but the ball did not fly into the penalty area, but flew directly to the front of the penalty area.

Deco lifts his foot - leaked the ball!The ball rolled under his feet, and on the other side, a figure was rushing forward!
Lucio's back row plugged in and attacked!

Due to the pulling of Tony and Adriano, Iwata Jubilo's defenders are basically concentrated on the right side and center of the penalty area, and almost no one is defending at the back point!

When the ball arrived, Lucio rushed to the ball, raised his left foot and directly hit the rolling ball!
With a refraction, the ball quickly slid across the lawn and flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal!
Iwata Jubilo's goalkeeper Otomo Myojin was shaken by Deco. When he realized that it was Lucio who actually shot, he flew back to save the ball, and the ball had already roared into the lower left corner of the goal!

Huge cheers erupted immediately at Datianwan Stadium. Although Yunjiatianyu was not the home team supported by Chongqing fans, at this moment, all Chongqing fans present were cheering for Yunjiatianyu!
"This atmosphere...is the same as Fengyun Stadium..." Benitez looked at Pei Wei with a little surprise, and said with a smile: "Although Yunjia Tianyu represents China now, and this is also China's land, but I never imagined that Chongqing fans would support Yunjia Tianyu as much as they support Chongqing and China."

"Actually... there is a reason for that." Pei Wei smiled and looked towards the stands: "Rafael, do you know the war that took place on Chinese soil in the middle of this century? We call those difficult years The war for the 'Eight Years of Resistance'."

"I know a little bit that the Second World War was a disaster for all mankind." Benitez nodded: "However, more than 50 years have passed anyway."

"Maybe some people in some parts of China have forgotten that war, but I think there are two cities that will never forget." Pei Wei said leisurely: "One of them is Chongqing, the capital of the Chinese government at that time. Time was located in Chongqing, so this beautiful mountain city was bombed by Japanese bombers almost every day during that time! Remember, not only military targets, but also civilian areas were also bombed targets! So..."

Pei Wei glanced at the stands again: "As long as we are facing a Japanese team, then the Chongqing fans will definitely be on our side!" COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
