The full name of the Toyota Cup is "Toyota Cup of European and South American Clubs", also known as the "Intercontinental Cup". It is an annual competition between the European Champions Cup champions, the South American Libertadores Cup champions and other continental champion teams.

Its predecessor was the Intercontinental Cup.

The original Intercontinental Cup adopted the method of two games at home and away to determine the outcome. It was a duel between two major schools to compete for the crown of world football club dominance. It was particularly eye-catching. However, in 1967 and 1969, it began to malfunction. Subsequently, several

The team was hesitant and unwilling to participate in the game, which put the game in an abnormal state, and there were constant disputes about the game date. In 1971, European champion Ajax refused to participate and was replaced by runner-up Panathinaikos; in 1973, Ajax

It abstained again and Juventus participated, and the game was only played once; the 1974 European champion Bayern Munich also abstained and was replaced by Atletico Madrid; in 1975, Argentina's Independiente and Bayern Munich once again had a dispute over the date of the game, causing the game to

It failed to take place; in 1978, the game was interrupted again because of Liverpool's interference. In 1980, there was another conflict over the game date. England's Nottingham Forest, which won the European championship, did not even agree to hold two games, and later decided to hold them in a third country.

One game determines the outcome. It was originally chosen in Los Angeles in the United States. Later, Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation requested to host the game and gave each team 15 million pesetas as an appearance fee. Since then, the Intercontinental Cup was changed to the Toyota Cup. In 1981

It is the first Toyota Cup. Each Toyota Cup will select the best player, and the best player will receive a Toyota car provided by Toyota.

This season's Toyota Cup is the 23rd. Previously, the Toyota Cup was held at the Tokyo National Stadium, but this time it was held at the Yokohama Stadium.

In the history of the Toyota Cup, a total of 4 teams have won the Toyota Cup three times. They are: Boca Juniors of Argentina, AC Milan of Italy, Nacional of Uruguay and Penarol of Uruguay. The best team is Brazil.

Three teams, Flamengo, Gremio and Sao Paulo, participated in the 2nd, 4th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 19th competitions 7 times and 4 times respectively.

The European team with the best results is Italy, which has won 4 championships and 3 runner-up finishes, while Inter Milan has not won the Toyota Cup once so far.

Due to the well-known grievances between China and Japan, Inter Milan's Chinese head coach Jiang Mu led his team to Yokohama, Japan. In addition to nearly 500 Italian journalists and more than 10,000 Italian fans, it also attracted more than 600 Chinese journalists and two

Thousands of Chinese fans.

The Japanese media spoke cautiously. The Asahi Shimbun sports section downplayed the fact that Inter Milan’s head coach Jiang Mu is Chinese, saying: “The great European Triple Crown champion Inter Milan arrived under the leadership of Chinese coach Jiang Mu.

Yokohama, they will compete with Olimpia Paraguay for the 23rd Toyota Cup championship.

"The Yomiuri Shimbun" said: "As the first Asian coach to lead a European team to win the Champions League, Jiang Mu will set another record and become the first to lead a European team if he can defeat Olimpia Paraguay in Yokohama.

The Asian who won the Toyota Cup. Unfortunately, he is not Japanese, but Chinese."

Chinese media reports are very bold. A reporter from the "Weekly" said: "The Chinese are about to capture Japan."

"China Football News" said, "After the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals, the Chinese coach also made a huge breakthrough in world football. After Jiang Mu won the Triple Crown, he once again faced a new challenge. If he can

Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" said that this is a game with a huge disparity in strength. Inter Milan is obviously stronger than Olimpia Paraguay, but the Toyota Cup often suffers upsets and it is difficult for Inter Milan to win. However, the biggest highlight of this game is still

Jiang Mu came to Japan to play in the Toyota Cup. Because of the historical grievances between China and Japan, this game has now attracted great attention from fans and non-fans of both countries. Yokohama has also dispatched an additional thousand riot police to maintain law and order to avoid some incidents.

Accident.

Inter Milan, which swept across Europe, met Olimpia Paraguay, who defeated Brazil's San Caitanu team on penalty kicks and won the Copa Libertadores. The stronger Inter Milan was of course more optimistic, but Olimpia, which has 16 Paraguay national team members, was not timid at all.

, but showed full confidence. Coach Pompidou said: "They may be the best team in the world, but they are not invincible. We are in good shape now and are confident in ourselves. We are here to let Inter Milan see us

It's amazing. In 1990, we lost 0:3 to another Milan team, and now we want to get back what we lost."

Jiang Mu, who has remained silent since arriving in Yokohama, Japan, opened up at the pre-match press conference. He said: "This is the only championship we lack. We are very eager and determined to win it, but Olimpia Paraguay is not easy to mess with.

, we must go all out and not take any chances.”

When a Chinese reporter asked how he felt about winning the championship in Japan, Jiang Mu joked: "Winning the championship in Japan is nothing special. History has turned a page. Besides, I am now the head coach of Inter Milan. If I were

If the head coach of the Chinese team wins the World Cup here, it will definitely feel special."

Jiang Mu's words undoubtedly left a lot of room for imagination for Inter Milan and fans around the world, but at this time, neither the media nor the fans have time to think so much. Now everyone is thinking about who will win the Toyota Cup and who will win the Toyota Cup.

Will drive away the Toyota sedan.

The Yokohama International Stadium is the home stadium of the Yokohama Mariners and can accommodate 70,000 fans.

Since the head coach of the European champion Inter Milan in this game is Asian, the game also attracted countless Asian fans to watch the game. Among them, there were as many as 30,000 Chinese fans who came to the scene. These people are not only Inter Milan

There are many fans who come here just for Jiang Mu.

After the game started, Olimpia Paraguay found that they were almost playing an away game instead of a third-party game. There were less than 3,000 fans at the scene to support them, while the remaining 66,000 fans supported Inter Milan.

Inter Milan kicked off first. Only 1 minute into the game, Zanetti committed a foul on the left side of the penalty area. Olimpia took a free kick from the left into the penalty area. Cordoba grabbed the spot and shot in the chaos in front of the goal, almost scoring it himself.

The own goal knocked on the door guarded by his teammate Toldo.

In the 3rd minute, Robben dribbled the ball from the left and passed to the center from the bottom line. Unfortunately, teammate Vieri did not respond in place.

In the 4th minute, Inter Milan found their first chance to shoot in the game. Recoba's header went wide of the baseline. Two minutes later, Recoba found another chance to kick and his shot was blocked by the Paraguay goalkeeper.

Valery confiscated.

Five minutes later, Inter Milan basically controlled the situation, while Olimpia could only rely on quick counterattacks to find a breakthrough. The pace of the game was very fast.

Facing a weak opponent, Inter Milan's repeated shots failed, and the players played a little impatiently. Then they saw that Paraguay's players were not tall, and launched several long passes to prepare for a more rough play, but they were all blocked by Olimpia defenders. Chapter 1

In the 13th minute, Ronaldinho used his speed to make a personal breakthrough from the left. He passed the pass and shot directly, but was blocked by Olimpia goalkeeper Tavarelli who played well.

In the 23rd minute of the game, captain Zanetti, who is more familiar with South American players, once again broke through on the wing. He changed direction and broke through the opponent's defender before passing the ground ball diagonally. Ronaldinho had a good view of the overall situation and observed his teammates in advance.

From Vieri's position, he saw that the angle he wanted to shoot was not good and could easily be blocked by the opponent's defender, so he cleverly let the ball pass between his legs. Vieri was about to raise his hand to call Ronaldi

Neo passed the ball over, and the ball arrived at this moment. He easily followed up from the center and pushed the ball with the arch of his right foot into the far corner of the goal.

Olimpia goalkeeper Tavarelli, who had been performing well in the first 20 minutes, failed to block Vieri's shot this time, and the ball hit the post and bounced into the net.

1 to 0.

The Yokohama International Stadium was boiling with excitement. More than 60,000 Inter Milan fans burst into a burst of fanatical cheers. Among them, more than 30,000 fans shouted "Jiang Mu Jiang Mu" in Chinese, which gave the stadium a Chinese flavor.

After Inter Milan took the lead, the players were a little careless. In the 24th minute, Olimpia took advantage of the situation and launched a quick counterattack on the right. Benitez's shot from the corner of the penalty area bounced off the goal post.

Olimpia's shot reminded Inter Milan that the opponent was the champion of the Copa Libertadores, not just a cat or a dog. Jiang Mu then asked the players to stabilize their position and guard the midfield, waiting for them to attack. Don't mistake Olimpia.

Second-rate teams come to play.

Inter Milan shrunk, and Olimpia's inexperienced weaknesses were exposed. The number of offsides and fouls increased frequently, and there were few opportunities in the frontcourt. However, Inter Milan's defensive counterattack was very good.

In the 44th minute of the game, the South American players in the Inter Milan camp once again performed well. Ronaldinho made a pass from the right. Vieri headed the ball in the middle. Olimpia goalkeeper Tavarelli could not react in time and the ball flew away.

Entering the net, the score became 2-0.

Olimpia coach Pompido was too worried about Inter Milan's attacking power and added a midfielder to assist the four defenders in defense. He was unable to control the midfield, allowing Inter Milan to play with ease after taking a two-goal lead, while Pompido always

The players did not dare to make bold substitutions and also lost the courage to equalize. In the end, Inter Milan easily won 2:0 at the Yokohama International Stadium and won the first Toyota Cup championship in the team's history. After the game, Vie

Li was elected the best player of the game and drove away in the Toyota sedan.
