Golden Greenery

Two years ago in the 2016 Club World Cup, the Asian Champions J-League Kashima Antlers defeated the Copa Libertadores champions, the National Athletic Medellin, Colombia, and Real Madrid in the final 3-0.

Kashima Antlers also played very well in the final. Shibaizaki scored twice in 90 minutes and tied Real Madrid 2:2, but Ronaldo scored two more goals in overtime, and Kashima Antlers lost to Real Madrid and failed to create history.

This is an ambitious deer, so after the draw of the 2018 Club World Cup in early September this year, Kashima Antlers and defending champion Manchester City were in the same half, and head coach Oiwa said bravely: "We will create miracles again. It's not a dream to beat Manchester City to the final."

Just over three months later, Da Yangang, who came to the United Arab Emirates, did not know if he was frightened by Zhuo Yang's Mad Hatter and Manchester City's brutality, but he changed his mind anyway.

"We will try to play the style of our own team and it will be a rare learning opportunity to play against Manchester City."

Kashima Antlers are still pretty good. When Manchester City arrived in Abu Dhabi, they had already defeated Guadalajara, the champion of Central America and the Caribbean and a powerhouse from Mexico, 3:2 in the first qualifying round, and successfully stood in front of Manchester City.

You must know that although Guadalajara does not have many stars, the team is properly strong. They have successively defeated three major league teams of Seattle, New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC in the Central and North American Champions Cup to win the cup. The media before the game absolutely Optimistic about them causing trouble for Manchester City.

But now Kashima antlers are cheaper.

Here last year, Zhuo Yang scored twice to let Manchester City beat Gremio 2-0 to win the cup. The last time a European team lost in the Club World Cup dates back to Chelsea's loss to Corinthians in 2012.

It's even further away, in 2006, Mardi Fort lost 0:1 to Pato's Brazil international.

The Club World Cup was reformed later than the Champions League. Manchester City is the only team that has won the Champions League so far, so this time it has become the only club that is likely to win the Club World Cup.

Zhuo Yang holds seven Champions League trophies in his hands, and is the first person in the world, but there are only two in the Club World Cup, namely Milan in 2007 and Manchester City last year. The rest are shamelessly missed because of transfers or death. In 2014, the one that Real Madrid gave him was an absolute win. It really doesn't count.

So no matter from which point of view, even if Abu Dhabi is the home of the boss Mansour, Manchester City must win the Club World Cup.

Regardless of whether Kashima Antlers is arrogant or cowardly, this competition has always been an occasion for Europe and the United States to compete for hegemony. Asia and Africa may cause trouble, but it will definitely not become the mainstream, at least not now.

Therefore, the media bypassed Kashima and the host team Al Ain, and turned their attention directly to the riverbed to analyze how much trouble this Argentine team can cause Manchester City in the final.

Looking at it, it's still quite stretched. After the interim coach Scaloni took office, he recruited Pampas heroes, and half of the River Plate team was recruited by him.

In other words, the current River Plate is basically filled with new and old Argentine internationals, including several when they beat the Chinese team 2:1 last month.

The head coach of River Plate is 42-year-old Marcelo Gallardo. After a long time, the media has forgotten his name, and now there are translators as Gallardo.

In fact, Gallardo was very good when playing football, inheriting the essence of Argentina's short attacking midfielder, wearing No. 20 to participate in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups. He also served as a core midfielder for Monaco for four years and also wore the Paris Saint-Germain No. 10 jersey.

Gallardo is a famous player in the history of River Plate. He has played well and has been imprinted with his old club after teaching. He has achieved remarkable results in coaching. .

Although Scaloni's 2:1 victory over the Chinese team has won a lot of calls for him to become a regular, it is by no means a sure thing. His biggest rivals are Gallardo and Argentina's national youth coach, Aimar the Clown.

So Gallardo attaches great importance to this Club World Cup. If he can overturn Manchester City, it is estimated that the Argentine coach will be his. After all, what Simeone and Pochettino have not done, it is not something ordinary people can covet.

Whether or not he can be listed as a football player, and whether he can become a famous coach with the same name as the bandit and uncle Bo, Gallardo is here in one fell swoop.

Have you been to the hospital? There is something wrong with your designation.

The semi-final between River Plate and Al Ain was held a day earlier. Zhuo Yang and Manchester City enjoyed a sea-water bubble bath at the Marina Garden Villa Hotel in Abu Dhabi, and the two teams had a great time playing at the Haza Zayed Stadium.

Al Ain is competing as the host, and they have now eliminated Oceania champion Wellington, New Zealand, 1:0 in the qualifying round, and defeated African champion Tunisia Hope in the first round, 3:0, giving no hope to their opponents.

Before the semi-finals, Al Ain had no rhetoric, played in a low-key manner, and even carefully conducted a closed training camp.

Then, something astonishing happened.

River Plate's 23-year-old Colombian winger Rafael Bore scored twice in the game. This dude was sold to River Plate by Atletico Madrid in installments and has a buy-back clause.

Al Ain's two foreign strikers, Swede Marcus Berry and Brazilian Caio Lucas each scored a goal, and the two teams tied 2:2 in 90 minutes. In addition to a pile of yellow cards in overtime, the two sides have no achievements.

The excitement is coming. In the penalty shootout, Al Ain made five free throws, and the Argentine substitute Frank Amani fluttered lonely.

The UAE's current national goalkeeper Khalid Isa also fluttered in loneliness, but the fifth player from River Plate, World Cup international, former Benfica and Valencia midfielder Enzo Perez kicked the penalty like a Wandering Earth.

Not to mention the rest, Gallardo's dream of being a national coach has been shattered, and Argentina cannot afford to lose face. The biggest competitor committed suicide, and there is almost no suspense in Scaloni's complete turnaround.

Unexpectedly, the position of the Argentine national team was decided by Asians. The Chinese team volunteered to help Scaloni, and Al Ain fought to destroy Gallardo. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Al Ain became the second Asian team to reach the final of the Club World Cup, and Kashima Antlers, who were the first to win in 2016, were undoubtedly encouraged, and Oiwa Goa was back.

"Manchester City is very strong, Manchester City is a cruiser, and Kashima Antlers are just small gunboats. But the ocean is unpredictable, and the brave Al Ain is an example. I believe Kashima Antlers will make a difference in tomorrow's game. I am Takeshi Oiwa , I speak for Antlers."

"Zhuo Yang, did you hear what the Japanese said?"

"Brother Gua, first I have to correct you. It's not a Japanese guy, it's a devil."

"Ghost... what do you mean?"

"Have you seen "Midnight Bell"?"

"uh-huh."

"Sadako, devil, one meaning."

"Oh~~~~~~, I understand." Laogua suddenly realized: "Fight the devil tomorrow and stuff the devil into the well."
