Two years ago, the 201 J-League Kashima Antlers upset the South American Copa Libertadores champions and Atlético Nacional de Medellín, Colombia, in the semi-finals with an upset 3:0, and met Real Madrid in the final.

Kashima Antlers also played very well in the final. Takeshi Shibasaki scored twice to tie the game. Only 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 for the 2018 Club World Cup in early September this year, Kashima Antlers and defending champion Manchester City were placed in the same half. Head coach Oiwa Gou said bravely: "We will create miracles again. , beating Manchester City and reaching the final is not a dream."

Just over three months later, Oyan Gang came to the United Arab Emirates. I don't know if he was frightened by Zhuo Yang's Mad Hatter and Manchester City's brutality. Anyway, he changed his mind.

"We will strive to play our own team's style, and playing against Manchester City will be a rare learning opportunity."

Kashima Antlers are still good. When Manchester City arrived in Abu Dhabi, they had already defeated the CONCACAF champions and the powerful Guadalajara from Mexico 3:2 in the first round of qualifying, and successfully stood in front of Manchester City.

You must know that although Guadalajara does not have any stars, the team is quite capable. They defeated three major league teams in the CONCACAF Champions League: Seattle, New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC. The media before the game was absolutely Expect them to cause trouble for Manchester City.

But now Kashima antlers are cheaper.

Last year here, Zhuo Yang scored twice to help 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 2012 when Chelsea lost to Corinthians.

Going further is even further away, and 2 is given to Brazil International, who also has Pato.

The Club World Cup was restructured later than the Champions League. Manchester City is the only team to win the Champions League so far, so it is the only club that may win the Club World Cup this time.

Zhuoyang holds seven Champions League championship trophies, the first person to touch the world, but there are only two in the Club World Cup, namely Milan in 2007 and Manchester City last year. The rest were shamelessly missed due to transfers or death. In 2014, the one given to him by Real Madrid was a sure win, and he really couldn't calculate it.

So no matter from which angle, even if Abu Dhabi is the hometown of owner Mansour, Manchester City must win the Club World Cup.

Regardless of whether Kashima Antlers is arrogant or cowardly, this competition has been an occasion for Europe and the United States to compete for hegemony since ancient times. 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 set their sights directly on River Plate to analyze how much trouble this Argentine team can cause Manchester City in the final.

After looking at it, I was still quite confused. After 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 who defeated the Chinese team 2:1 last month.

River Plate's head coach is 42-year-old Marcelo Gallardo. Over the years, the media has forgotten his name, and now there are also translators who call him Gallardo.

In fact, Gallardo was very good when playing football. He inherited the essence of Argentina's short midfielder and participated in the 1st World Cup wearing No. 20. He also served as the core midfielder for Monaco for four years and also wore the No. 10 jersey of Paris Saint-Germain.

Gallardo is a famous player in the history of River Plate. He played football, coached and later joined his old club. He has made outstanding coaching achievements. In this year's South American Copa Libertadores final, he defeated his local rival Boca to win the championship, which made him even more famous. .

Although Scaloni's 2:1 victory over the Chinese team has won a lot of calls for him to become a permanent member, it is by no means a certainty. His biggest competitors are Gallardo and Argentina National Youth coach, "Clown" Aimar.

Therefore, Gallardo attaches great importance to this Club World Cup. If he can challenge Manchester City, he will probably be the Argentina coach. After all, if Simeone and Pochettino have not done something, then it is not something that ordinary people can covet.

Whether he can be named Azu, whether he can become a famous coach as famous as the bandit coach and Uncle Bo, Gallardo will decide this.

Have you been to the hospital? What's wrong with you?

The semi-final between River Plate and Al Ain took place one day earlier. Zhuoyang and Manchester City enjoyed a seawater bubble bath at the Marina Garden Villa Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The two teams played happily at the Hasha Zayed Stadium.

Al Ain is participating as the host nation. They eliminated the Oceania champion Wellington of New Zealand 1:0 in the qualifying round, and defeated the African champion Tunisia Hope in the first round. 3:0 did not give their opponents any hope.

Before the semi-finals, Al Ain made no bold statements, played in a low-key manner, and even carefully held a closed training camp.

Then, something surprising happened.

River Plate's 23-year-old Colombian winger Rafael Borre scored twice during the game. This guy was sold to River Plate by Atletico Madrid in installments, and there was a buy-back clause.

Al Ain's two foreign forwards, Swedish Marcus Berry and Brazilian Kaio Lucas, each scored one goal and the two teams were tied. In the overtime, apart from a bunch of yellow cards, both sides achieved nothing.

The fun came. In the penalty shootout, Al Ain made all five free throws, and Argentina's substitute goalkeeper Frank Amani made a lonely save.

The UAE first-choice national goalkeeper Khalid Eissa also saved the penalty, but River Plate's fifth player, World Cup international and former Benfica and Valencia midfielder Enzo Perez, kicked the penalty like a Wandering Earth.

Putting aside everything else, Gallardo's dream of being the national coach was shattered, and Argentina cannot afford to lose face. The biggest competitor is destroying himself, and there is almost no suspense for Scaloni to completely become a permanent member.

Unexpectedly, the coaching position of the Argentina national team was decided by Asians. The Chinese team volunteered to help Scaloni, and Al Ain killed Gallardo.

Al Ain became the second Asian team to reach the Club World Cup final, and as 201 Shima Antlers was undoubtedly inspired, Oiwa Gou was energetic again.

"Manchester City is very strong, Manchester City is a cruiser, and Kashima Antlers is just a small gunboat. 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 Go Oiwa , I speak for Antlers.”

.

"Zhuoyang, did you hear what the Japanese said?"

"Brother Gua, first of all I have to correct you. That's not called a Japanese, it's called a Japanese."

"What do you mean, devil...?"

"Have you seen "The Ring"?"

"uh-huh."

"Sadako, devil, it means the same thing."

"Oh~~~~~, I understand." Lao Gua suddenly realized: "Fight the Japanese tomorrow and stuff the Japanese into the well."
