tenth

Five to one, this score is simply a slap in the face.

Before this game, the Japanese media and fans were clamoring fiercely, especially the fans of Gamba Osaka. They were shouting that they should defeat Liverpool and advance to the final. And before the game, I saw the Liverpool people who were arrogant and arrogant.

The look deeply stung the strong national pride of Japanese fans.

Gamba Osaka and Japanese fans clamored to make the arrogant Liverpool look good in the upcoming game and let the arrogant Liverpool people know how powerful their Japanese football is. Before the game, they were full of confidence and super confident. However, just

Ninety minutes later, they were stunned.

At this time, they realized that in front of them, Liverpool had the qualifications to be arrogant. Of course, it can also be said that Liverpool's performance before the game was not arrogance, but that there was no place for Gamba Osaka in Liverpool's world.

.

This ruthless fact hit Japanese fans so hard that they could only shrink their necks, hide in corners, and lick their wounds.

Before the start of this game, the competition for the fifth place in this world club started. The two participating teams are African champion Al Ahli and Asian runner-up Adelaide United. These two teams are in the first round.

As their opponent, Adelaide United defeated Al Ahli two to one.

This time, Adelaide United still showed their strength, beating Al Ahli 1-0 and winning fifth place in this World Club Cup.

After these two games, the next day, local sports media and entertainment media in Japan reported on these two games, especially paying attention to Gamba Osaka's 1-5 loss to Liverpool. This game made them realize

In reality, there is a huge gap between their team and the strong teams in Europe today.

In this game, Qiu Ze performed very well. He scored two goals and planned the first goal. He was the most outstanding player in this game. After the game, he was praised by countless media.

, claiming that he deserves to be the number one star of the Liverpool team, the biggest favorite for European Footballer and World Footballer.

After Gamba Osaka lost this game, they also lost the qualification to compete for the World Club Cup championship. They can only compete with the strong players in the other semi-finals for third place. To be honest, this

The third place is really useless.

However, this third place is likely to become a healing elixir for Japanese fans, who must get over the shadow of failure as soon as possible.

This other World Club Cup semi-final is between the South American champions Universidad de Liga from Ecuador and the Central and North American champions Pachuca from Mexico.

This game was played the day after the match between Liverpool and Gamba Osaka. This game attracted a lot of attention. Of course, the Liverpool team was also paying attention to this game because they wanted to know their opponents.

On this day, Liverpool did not train. They had a day off and in the evening they went to watch the match between Pachuca and Universidad de Liga.

These two teams are very unfamiliar to Liverpool and even to mainstream football. Therefore, it is really necessary for Liverpool to watch this game and understand the strength and characteristics of the two teams. Liverpool is very unfamiliar with these two teams.

There are almost no secrets to them, and these two teams are very mysterious to Liverpool, and Liverpool knows nothing about them.

In war, you need to know yourself and your enemy. The same goes for football matches. The current situation is not good for Liverpool, and they must understand the situation of their opponents.

The semi-final between Pachuca and Universidad de Liga is Liverpool's only chance to get to know these two teams, and Liverpool will certainly not miss this opportunity.

In order to let the whole team have a certain understanding of these two teams, Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benitez organized the whole team to watch the game live and let them take a closer look.

The playing style of both teams.

The game started soon. Both teams have their own characteristics. The strength of the two teams is actually about the same. The University of Liga has a slight advantage. The football of the University of Liga is very different from traditional Ecuadorian football. Most of the players in the team

He is a black and rough man, with body and speed, especially his obvious speed, and he is good at defense.

Universidad de Liga performed very well in this game and did not give Mexico's Pachuca a chance. However, they themselves took advantage of Pachuca's two mistakes and scored Pachuca's goal twice.

In this way, the mysterious team from South America, the University of Liga, defeated the Pachuca team 2-0 and advanced to the finals of this World Club Cup.

The University of Liga is very unfamiliar to everyone, even for South America, the University of Liga team is also very unfamiliar.

The University of Liga team has won nine domestic league championships, and this year it became the first Ecuadorian team to win the Copa Libertadores.

In 1918, the University of Liga established an amateur football club composed of teachers and students. In 1930, the club had a more formal leadership structure, which is also regarded as the year when the club was officially established. The development of the club since then has not been smooth sailing.

In the 1980s, they even suffered the embarrassment of not having a championship for ten years. However, since the 1990s, they have gradually regained their true qualities as a strong team and have won four league championships since the 21st century.

The current coach is the 50-year-old Argentinian Edgardo Bosa. Under Bosa's training, the University of Liga has become an outlier in South American football. It is different from the traditional South American teams that focus on offense, pay attention to technology, and have a lazy style of play.

Differently, the team attaches great importance to defense, has excellent confrontation ability and strict discipline.

Liga University usually uses 3412 or 3421. Although it only has three defenders, it is equipped with two defensive midfielders with strong interception capabilities. In terms of offense, it focuses on wing breakthroughs, sharp counterattacks, and is also very good at using set pieces to score.

.In the first round of the Copa Libertadores final, the University of Liga used corner kicks to score the goal of Fuminis twice.

The Universidad de Liga team has several former or current Ecuadorian internationals such as forward Delgado and goalkeeper Ceballos. Compared with the team that won the championship in July this year, the Universidad de Liga lineup has not changed much, but midfielder Geron

(Transferred to Getafe)'s departure has caused the team's counterattack quality to decline. Leaving the plateau home court with an average altitude of more than 2,800 meters, the performance of the University of Liga is bound to decline.

However, former Rosario Central defender Baosa very much hopes that he can lead the team to win the World Club Cup and let the world know him. And this guy is indeed very capable. Under his leadership, Liga University

Achieved good results.

Under his leadership, Liga Sports University defeated the powerful South American teams such as Argentina's Estudiantes, San Lorenzo and Mexico's América, and finally defeated Brazil's Fluminense at the Maracana Stadium and won the championship.

Copa Libertadores.

As an unpopular South American champion, Bosa hopes to let the world know him through an upset. Before arriving in Japan, the injuries of many of the team's main players were unknown, and Bosa did not dare to talk more about the goal of the Club World Cup. Until he got on the plane.

, the main players have basically returned, and Baosa is full of confidence and revealed his ambitions before the game.

"We can beat anyone." The Argentine coach showed his ambition at the press conference.

Now, they defeated Mexico's Pachuca 2-0 in the semi-finals. Baosa is even more confident. He believes that even in front of the European champion Liverpool, they can still compete, and they will definitely win this championship.

.

After Baosa ended the match with Pachuca, he said this at the post-match press conference: "Liverpool is very strong. They are the favorites to win the World Club Cup, and we are

We were not favored by others. But all the way to winning the Copa Libertadores, we were not favored. This is also our advantage. In the final, we will give everything we have."

The 2-0 victory over Pachuca really gave Bosa a lot of confidence. He firmly believed that his team could compete well with Liverpool. They are the champions of the South American Copa Libertadores, not the Asian champion Gamba Osaka.

Don't admit that there is a big gap between them and Liverpool.

Three years ago, Liverpool participated in the World Club Cup. At that time, their opponent in the final was the South American Copa Libertadores champion Sao Paulo team from Brazil. At that time, Liverpool lost to the Sao Paulo team of Brazil, making the Sao Paulo team the world's best team.

The winner of the Club Cup.

Now their Universidad de Liga is also the champion of the Copa Libertadores. Since Sao Paulo, the former champion of the Copa Libertadores, can defeat the European champion Liverpool, why can't their Universidad de Liga defeat Liverpool?

Baosa is very confident in his team. This guy not only revealed his ambitions at the press conference after the game against Pachuca. After that, they have exposed it in front of the media many times.

They are confident of defeating Liverpool and winning the World Club Cup.

The University of Liga was full of confidence. They trumpeted before the game that they could defeat Liverpool and that the World Club Cup championship would be theirs. However, Liverpool stopped playing and did not make any statement. This surprised everyone. Liverpool

What happened?

Liverpool was very high-profile when they played against Gamba Osaka. Japanese fans still remember that arrogant look. Why, by the time they reached the University of Liga, Liverpool had become such a coward?

You dare to fart against Liga University's provocation?

This made some radical Japanese fans despise Liverpool very much, saying that Liverpool is a bully and a villain. Haha, by this time, these guys have forgotten who is the most bully and fearful player in the world.

Before the game between Liverpool and Liga University, the third and fourth place finals of this World Club Cup will be held. This game will be held the day before the final. The two sides are Gamba Osaka and Pachuca.

Now Japanese fans are eagerly watching this game. They hope to use this game to soothe their injured hearts.

Of course, the Pachuca team also hopes to win this game, and they also want to vent their grievances.

However, this game has no impact on Liverpool and Liga University, so they do not pay attention to this game. They are all preparing for the next game.

This game attracted a lot of attention from fans. By this time, the entire stadium was basically full of Gamba Osaka fans. This became the actual home ground of the famous Gamba Osaka coach. The entire stadium was filled with cheers for the Gamba Osaka team.

This made the Pachuca team very unhappy.

In the cheers of the fans in the audience, Gamba Osaka did not disappoint the Japanese fans this time. They defeated Pachuca with a goal at their home court and won the third place in this World Club Cup. This result

Although it's not good, it's still some comfort.
