Chapter 435 Club World Cup Champion

December 12th, the weekend, is also the match day of the 20 Club World Cup final.

In the afternoon, Guangzhou Evergrande and Hiroshima Sanfrecce had a battle for the third place.

Guangzhou Evergrande scored a goal in just 4 minutes of the opening game, but lost a good game. It conceded two goals in a row in the second half, and was finally reversed 1:2 and lost the game.

In this case, Evergrande will miss its best result in the Club World Cup.

At 6:[-] pm local time in Japan, the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and River Plate officially started at the Yokohama Arena.

Before the game, River Plate also chanted the slogan of revenge for Messi.

In the Champions League final last season, Liverpool defeated Barcelona led by Messi, and now the Argentine wants to avenge him, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In this game, Liverpool arranged the strongest lineup, with Coutinho and Henderson both starting.

After all, the opponent is the champion of the Copa Libertadores, so it is possible to overthrow Liverpool.

On the River Plate side, they also arranged their best lineup, a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Marcelo Barovero;

Defenders: Lionel Vangione, Eder Ballanta, Jonathan Maidana, Gabriel Mercado;
Midfielders: Matias Koraivet, Leonardo Penzio, Tabarre Biudes, Carlos Sanchez;
Forwards: Rodrigo Moura, Lucas Alario.

River Plate's starting lineup is basically composed of unknown players who played in the South American league. Only midfielder Penzio once played for Zaragoza in La Liga for a short time, and defender Maidana played for Kharkov Metalworking in the Ukrainian Super League. Pass.

Instead, there is a god-level player on the bench of River Plate, Javier Saviola, nicknamed Rabbit, the most famous supernova in Argentina before Messi.

Saviola was elected the South American Footballer of the Year at the age of 18. He is an absolute super genius. In the 2001 World Youth Championship, he helped Argentina win the championship at home with 6 goals in 11 games. 11 goals were also ahead of Jackie Chan World Youth Championship scoring record.

However, after joining the European League, Saviola's road has not been smooth.

Back then, Saviola was the well-known successor of Maradona in Argentina, so his first stop in Europe was Barcelona, ​​the same choice as Maradona back then.

At that time, Barcelona introduced Saviola, but it was advertised by the media as being able to counter Real Madrid's introduction of Zidane, which shows that people have high expectations for Saviola.

To be honest, Saviola's performance in Barcelona is not bad. He scored 100 goals in 49 games. Second-rate striker.

But since the black swan Rijkaard took charge of Barcelona, ​​​​Saviola quickly lost his position.

At that time, Black Swan preferred the strong African cheetah Eto'o, and was not interested in Saviola, who was thin and relied on speed to eat.

So in the later period of Barcelona, ​​Saviola was rented everywhere, went to Seville and Monaco successively, and both performed well during the loan period. He can definitely be called a good second-rate striker.

But in the summer of 2007, after the contract between Saviola and Barcelona expired, Little Rabbit refused to cut his salary to play in those second-tier teams, so he finally chose to join Real Madrid without a visa.

In Real Madrid, Saviola got the high salary he wanted, but he couldn't play the ball at all. He couldn't play the game for two full years, so he was scrapped.

In fact, Real Madrid was willing to sign Saviola at that time, more because of his status as a former Barcelona player.

There is no need to repeat the previous grievances between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Before, Figo switched to Real Madrid and was thrown a pig's head, and then Eto'o joined Barcelona to beat his old club.

Eto'o was first brought to Europe by Real Madrid's youth training coach, but he never got a chance in Real Madrid, so he chose to leave and joined Barcelona after playing well outside. Every time he kicked Real Madrid, he was very excited Son.

Therefore, it is only natural that Saviola, a second-rate striker introduced for the purpose of "fighting political opponents", would not get a chance in Real Madrid. What's more, the Bernabéu was still in a period of chaos at that time. The special period when Calderon was chairman was far before the second phase was established.

Today, Saviola is back where his dream began.

But he is 34 years old and has long been unable to fight anymore, so he basically can only play as a substitute.

At the beginning of the game, River Plate played well.

They played a typical defensive counterattack, and their defensive preparations in advance were not bad. At least they were very organized defensively, which made Liverpool's opening three tricks fail to produce results.

However, after a stalemate for a small half of the game, in the 42nd minute before the end of the first half, Li Chenglong took the ball in the frontcourt and made a long-range attempt directly, and then hit a world wave, breaking the goal of the River Plate in one fell swoop .

With a one-goal lead, Liverpool will not be in a hurry and can play steadily.

After 60 minutes, River Plate had to make changes, and began to make substitutions and adjustments one after another.

But from the 70th minute to the 78th minute, in less than 10 minutes, Liverpool got chances one after another.

First, Li Chenglong scored a single-handed goal in the counterattack, and then Mane passed the goalkeeper in the counterattack and selflessly returned to the goal, helping Li Chenglong complete a hat-trick.

In this way, after Li Chenglong completed his hat-trick in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, he also scored a hat-trick in the final of the Club World Cup.

The Yokohama Arena fell into a jubilation, and Jackie Chan's hat-trick detonated the audience again.

He scored six goals in two games and averaged a hat-trick per game, which also made Jackie Chan break many records.

He became the first player in the history of the Club World Cup to wear a hat in the final, and also the first player to complete two hat-tricks in the Club World Cup.

Six goals at the same time, this is also the single goal record in the history of the Club World Cup, and it is also the total goal record.

In the previous Club World Cups at this time, the scoring record of a single player is only four goals.

The total goals record is held by the Argentine striker Cesar Delgado, who played for the Monterrey club in the Mexican League. He represented Monterrey in the Club World Cup for two consecutive years in 2012 and 2013. Scored three goals and scored two goals at one time, a total of five goals. This is the previous scoring record.

Li Chenglong completed a hat-trick, broke many records, and completely sealed the victory of the game.

However, River Plate put up a final fight and found a chance to pull back a goal in stoppage time, which was scored by 19-year-old substitute Sebastian Driusi.

But this ball is irrelevant.

In the end, Liverpool beat River Plate 3-1 at the Yokohama Arena and became the Club World Cup champion for the first time in team history.

In addition, Liverpool has also become another English team to win the Club World Cup after Manchester United.

Manchester United won the Club World Cup twice in 99 and 08.

Now that the finals are over, the awards ceremony will follow.

Officials from FIFA, the Japanese Football Association, and the sponsor, Ali Group Ma Boss, are all today's award presenters.

Jackie Lee not only performed well personally, but is also the captain of Liverpool, so he needs to keep on stage.

After the award presenters arrived, he, as the captain of the team, went over with the referee to shake hands with the guests.

Then in the individual awards session, he undoubtedly won the Golden Boot and Golden Globe of this Club World Cup, waiting for the stage twice in a row.

At the last moment, he had to go up to receive the gold medal, and then represent Liverpool to receive the final championship trophy.

When the Liverpool team raised the championship trophy in Yokohama, it also represented the successful conclusion of the 2015 Club World Cup.
