Reborn Almighty Life
【0805】 Expedition to Fusang
When Manchester United defeated Derby County at Old Trafford, the 2007 Club World Cup had already begun in Fuso, and the top club teams from all continents were fighting for the highest honor of the world's club competitions.
The Club World Cup is an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and participated by the top teams from six continents. A nominal Club World Cup was held in 2000. Later, due to sponsor issues, the event was canceled
It was forced to be cancelled. The Club World Cup was not restarted until 2005. It is customary to regard the game held in Japan in December 2005 as the first Club World Cup.
The first Club World Cup was hosted in 2000. At that time, a total of 8 teams participated. In the end, Corinthians won the championship, Vasco da Gama finished second, Necasa defeated Real Madrid on a penalty kick and finished third, with Real Madrid fourth.
However, the Club World Cup at that time was not well received by the outside world, especially during the most intensive period of European team competitions. The competition venue was thousands of miles away in Rio de Janeiro. As the Champions League champions, Manchester United did not make the top four, and Real Madrid only won
to fourth.
In 2001, the Club World Cup was originally planned to be held in Spain, but due to the bankruptcy of FIFA's marketing company at the time, the Club World Cup was ultimately aborted.
In 2005, FIFA successfully merged the Club World Cup and Toyota Cup.
The Club World Cup is back on the scene. In both 2005 and 2006, 6 teams participated, namely the champions of the six continents. From 2007, an additional place was added for the host of the event, with the number of participating teams reaching 7, and the competition format continued.
Come on. Except for the losing team in the first game of the Club World Cup, which does not need to have a qualifying match, the losing team in other games must go through a qualifying match with the other losing team to determine the ranking.
In 2005 and 2006, the Club World Cup championships were won by Brazilian clubs. They were Sao Paulo and Internazionale. After winning the Copa Libertadores, they won the Club World Cup and stood on top of the world.
This year, the team representing South America in the Club World Cup is the Argentinian giant Boca Juniors. As the current champions of the highest level club competition in the world, it and Manchester United directly enter the semi-finals. And the teams from North America, Africa, Australia, Asia and the host country
The representative team needs to go through a lot of fighting to qualify for the semi-finals.
Teams outside of Europe and South America have no objections to the rules of the Club World Cup. After all, if their own strength is poor, they have to abide by the rules set by the stronger ones.
Therefore, when Manchester United was still playing against Derby County in the Premier League, as FIFA's year-end drama, the Club World Cup kicked off on the evening of December 7 at the National Arena in Tokyo, Japan. In the opening game, the AFC Champions League runner-up Iran Sepahan
With their outstanding performance, they defeated Oceania champions Waitrica United 3-1 and successfully advanced to the second round.
Of course, Waitrica United is a semi-professional team, and many players in the team are amateurs. This is one of the important reasons why many people criticize the uneven quality of participating teams in the Club World Cup.
After this victory, the Sepahan team will continue to challenge the Japanese Urawa Ruby team. This is also a repeat of the AFC Champions League final, and the winner can advance to the semi-finals.
Since the beginning of this Club World Cup, FIFA has set up a special quota for the host country, allowing the Sepahan team to fill the vacancy left by the Urawa Ruby team as the runner-up.
The winner between the two Asian teams will challenge European champion Manchester United in the semi-finals. It is not easy for teams from other continents to directly challenge Manchester United.
On December 9th, Yanjing time, the first quarter-final match of the 2007 World Club Champions Cup was played. At the Tokyo National Arena, the African champion Sahel Stars team was passive throughout the game and relied on the final stage of the game.
Nari's goal defeated the North American champion Pachuca 1-0. After winning this campaign, the Sahel team will face the South American Libertadores Cup champion Boca Juniors in the semi-finals.
The next day, the second quarter-final match of the Club World Cup was held. The host Urawa Ruby defeated the old rival Iran Sepahan and advanced to the semi-finals. They will face the powerful European champion Manchester United this Thursday.
As the Asian champions, Urawa Reds once met Sepahan in this year's AFC Champions League final. Before this Club World Cup, Urawa Reds had just lost the league championship to the team at the bottom of the league in the final round of the Japan J-League.
Losing the league championship also dealt a serious blow to the team's morale. Whether they can regain their strength in this Club World Cup has always attracted attention from the outside world. Fortunately, the Ruby soldiers are very motivated and have won themselves the opportunity to prove themselves.
Perhaps, the Fuso team's entry into the semi-finals is also due to the considerations of FIFA and the tournament organizing committee. After all, the host country is still very helpful in driving box office.
…………
When the opponent in the semi-finals was clear, Manchester United took the "Fei Peng" and flew directly to Fuso. Also following Manchester United on the trip was the team responsible for business development of the Manchester United club. This time Manchester United was not just for the game.
As Asia's largest economy, Fuso's GDP and per capita consumption level are higher than those of China. It has always been an important market valued by European clubs, sponsors and media.
This time, after Manchester United's opponent in the semi-finals was determined to be Urawa Ruby, Manchester United quickly launched relevant plans and decided to increase publicity and promotion efforts in Fuso to help the team expand its influence in Fuso.
In China, as soon as the news spread that Gu Fei would lead Manchester United against Urawa Ruby, it attracted the attention of countless fans and media. Everyone regarded this game as the most important football match of the year.
.
As a country with many stories about Fuso, the Chinese people will naturally regard Fuso's team as their opponent. In the past years, Chinese football has rarely been able to defeat Fuso's team in many important events, whether it is the national team.
The level is still a club.
In 1998, in the East Asian semi-finals, the Chinese men's football team defeated the Fuso national team 2:0. High forward Li Bing from Xichuan scored twice, and General Fan, who missed the penalty kick, was scolded by the media after the game.
Shower head.
Since then, the Chinese national team has not been able to defeat the Fuso team at any level or in any competition. The most recent game with a major impact was the defeat in the Yanjing Asian Cup final.
In later generations, some people regard the defeat of the Chinese national team in the 2004 Asian Cup final as the starting point of the decline of Chinese football. In the end, Chinese football fell all the way into the abyss, and it could not be pulled back!
For a long time, China has always liked to compare with Fuso in various aspects, whether it is economy, national living standards, scientific and technological level or sports, and it is an honor to surpass Fuso.
In the past years, Huaxia football was pushed on the lawn by Fusang football and rubbed hard. Huaxia fans were extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do.
Now, finally, a superstar like Gu Fei has emerged, leading the extremely powerful Manchester United to Fusang. How can we not make the Chinese fans ecstatic!
Although there is only one Chinese player in the Manchester United team, Gu Fei, all shares of Manchester United are owned by China Capital, and Gu Fei is a superstar in the team. Chinese fans naturally regard Manchester United as their own team.
Therefore, when the schedule was announced, many Chinese fans began to make adjustments to their schedules and decided to sit in front of the TV to watch the broadcast on the day of the game. Even some fans with strong financial strength were already buying tickets to Fuso and decided to
Go to the scene to watch the game and cheer for Manchester United. It would be even better if you can get autographs and photos from Manchester United players, especially Gu Fei.
The fans' thoughts will also be well reflected by sponsors and media. Sponsors have increased their sponsorship of event broadcasts, and the media's coverage of the Club World Cup has also been raised to a higher level.
Before this, in the eyes of the media, the Club World Cup was less important than the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. However, the match between Manchester United and Urawa Ruby instantly made the event's attention soar.
As for the Fuso media, when they found out that Urawa Ruby’s opponent in the semi-finals was Manchester United, they went crazy and had a collective climax!
For Fuso people, being able to play against the world's top teams like Manchester United is a supreme honor. In Fuso's culture, worshiping the strong is a very important part. Manchester United is currently the most powerful football team in the world.
, is naturally the dream opponent of Fuso people.
…………
When the 'Fei Peng' took off from Manchester International Airport, there were all the members of the first team on board, including Wu Shitou, who had not even played for the first team. This was a rare leisure trip. Ferguson and Gu Fei simply let everyone
The players followed and set off to relax.
This season, Manchester United's goal is to win championships in all competitions. The players will face more severe tests in the future. The pace of the game will be very fast and there will be many events. The players will have almost no chance to relax. It is better to take advantage of the situation.
This is an opportunity to take the team members away from the rainy British Isles and enjoy the good weather in East Asia.
Of course, there may be snow falling on the hibiscus in December, who cares?
For Gu Fei, going to Fuso to participate in the competition this time naturally feels like a heavy responsibility. After all, if Chinese football wants to rise, Fuso football is an unavoidable mountain.
The rise of Chinese football begins with this Club World Cup championship!
In recent times, the subtle changes in Chinese football have not been hidden from Gu Fei. Starting from the attention of the top management of the Chinese Empire, Chinese football has been destined to embark on the right path. Coupled with the guidance of Manchester United, Chinese football has embarked on the same path as in its previous life.
Completely different directions.
The 2004 Asian Cup was a landmark event that turned Chinese football from prosperity to decline. Gu Fei hoped to reverse the fate of Chinese football at the 2008 Yanjing Olympics. This is not in vain. Gu Fei was relaxed and happy after his rebirth.
The life of a rich man is nothing but hard work and hard work in training every day.
…………
While the 'Fei Peng' was flying on the European continent, a Boeing 77 international flight was also sailing over the Pacific Ocean, and its destination was also Tokyo Haneda International Airport.
Boca Juniors are like migratory birds, flying to Asia in December has almost become a habit. Three days before the start of the semi-finals, the Copa Libertadores champion took an Air France flight to Fuso to start his Club World Cup journey.
For Boca Juniors, the Club World Cup is both an old friend and a new friend. Strictly speaking, it is the first time for Boca Juniors to participate in the Club World Cup, but if the Toyota Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup, is included, then for Boca Juniors
For young people in Cardiff, this event is all too familiar.
In the past six years, Boca Juniors has participated in this intercontinental championship competition three times. In 2000 and 2003, Boca Juniors defeated Real Madrid and AC Milan to win the cup twice. In 2001, it lost to Bayern Munich.
Boca Juniors players boarded the plane to Japan, and a large number of fans went to the airport to see them off. "I estimate that there were more than 500 cars belonging to fans who came to see them off. Although the name of the event has changed, the importance has not changed." at the airport.
On the parking lot, the old man
Ricardo proudly told the reporter of "Outlet": "This is the fourth time I have witnessed such a grand event, which makes me feel extremely proud. However, this time it is not the grandest one. It was only the one in 2000.
It's called crazy, you can't even see the end of the fans."
"The support of the fans is touching. We won the Copa Libertadores. Now, we will launch an attack on the Club World Cup. We want to dedicate this honor to the fans." Boca Juniors head coach Russo said before boarding the plane.
The fans who came to see him off expressed their thanks. He said that no matter what the result was, participating in the Club World Cup was already an achievement: "My next experience is something that few coaches can experience. This opportunity is both for Boca Juniors and for me.
It’s very rare to say it.”
Although there are 7 teams participating in this Club World Cup, everyone knows that in the end, either Manchester United, representing Europe, or Boca Juniors, representing South America, will win the trophy. Based on the lineup analysis, Manchester United’s participation list is not at all
There is no doubt that it is much more dazzling than Boca Juniors. Most people in the industry are more optimistic that the Red Devils can become the king of kings. However, there are exceptions. The football emperor Beckenbauer voted for the Argentine.
.
"Boca Juniors has a dream frontcourt: Ledesma, Banega, Palacio, Palermo..." Beckenbauer believes that even if Riquelme cannot participate, Boca Youth's midfielder and frontcourt
It is also extremely powerful, and compared to Manchester United, the Argentinian's biggest advantage is
Since the domestic league has ended: "This allows them to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Club World Cup, not to mention that South American teams value the Club World Cup more than European teams. I think that after the Brazilian club won the Cup twice,
Now it's the Argentine's turn."
After all, Manchester United is fighting on multiple fronts and may give up on the useless Club World Cup.
However, Beckenbauer's remarks may not necessarily come from the sincerity, perhaps just to confuse the situation.
In addition to the domestic league championship and cup championship, Bayern Munich's goal this season is the most important goal is to win the UEFA Champions League. On the way to winning the championship, the biggest potential opponent is Manchester United. There is no doubt about this!
Beckenbauer said these words in an interview with "Kicker". No one can figure out his real intention. After all, the football emperor is not a simple football player. His complicated identity makes him
The words are always confusing.
