Chapter 666: Chinese Derby

Losing to Newcastle did make Klopp unwilling to do so, but this is the league. Even as a top club, it is normal to lose some incredible games in a season, let alone Liverpool. Did not reach the most outstanding level.
　　 Due to the approach of the Club World Cup and the rush of the Premier League Christmas schedule, for Liverpool, it will become more busy since mid-December.
　　 In the last UEFA Champions League group match in the middle of the week, Liverpool was still in accordance with the plan.
　　 With such a round break, Wolfsburg was able to play, defeating Liverpool at home and getting a valuable promotion spot.
　　 Regarding CSKA’s responsibilities in the media, Klopp didn’t care so much about the rules of fair play, as far as the team is concerned, it’s good for him, and there is control over others.
　　Although they lost the last game of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool, whose main players have been corrected, still beat the visiting West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on the weekend without a blood.
　　 3 to 1!
　　 Although West Bromwich Albion played very tenaciously in this game, Anfield is the home of Liverpool's devil. Liverpool naturally played even better on this field.
Coutinho continued his excellent footwork. In this game, another world wave took the lead in breaking the opponent's goal. In the following games, Liverpool performed even better, Sturridge was in an offside process. Finished scoring in mid-range, broke the long scoring drought, and is recovering his game state.
Although West Bromwich Albion took advantage of a set-kick opportunity to pass to the goal in the second half, creating chaos. In the chaos, midfielder Joe Smith scored a goal, but then Liverpool made a quick counterattack. Henderson, who returned from injury, counter-attacked and scored, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation for Liverpool.
　　 Before going to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, it was a victory that temporarily ended the Premier League journey.
　　 The current World Club Cup is still held in Japan.
　　This also made it possible that in addition to the AFC Champions Hengtai team, there is also a Japanese team participating in the competition for the World Club Cup.
Obviously, compared to the Champions League champion Liverpool, which automatically entered the semi-finals, and the South American Libertadores Cup champion River Plate team, which also entered the semi-finals, the other two semi-finals in the competition for places have stronger strength and fighting desire. The two Asian teams still played well and grabbed tickets to the semifinals.
　　 Hiroshima Sanfrecce first defeated the Oceania team Oakland 2-0 in the "qualifier".
　　 Afterwards, Sanfrecce Hiroshima will compete with non-champion champion Mazembi for a semi-final spot, while AFC Champion Guangzhou Hengtai will compete with the Mexican American team for another semi-final spot.
For Liverpool, this kind of rookie pecking game does not care. After all, for one of the best teams in Europe, no matter who advances to the final, it is just a slightly stronger "royal rooster". Even if the most likely opponent Hechuang in the final is the stronger "caiji", after all, South American football has already been covered by the rich scouting system of various European clubs.
　　 Except for a few players, most players may have been brought to Europe when they were not famous.
　　In terms of team strength, the current combat effectiveness of the River Plate may be the level of the mid-level teams in the five major leagues. As long as Liverpool can perform smoothly, the influence of the River Plate team is extremely limited.
　　Of course, in order to overcome the jet lag, Liverpool flew to Asia and Japan immediately after finishing the Premier League match with West Bromwich, so that the players had the opportunity to adjust the jet lag and adjust the state.
Hiroshima Three Arrows defeated Mazembi, and Guangzhou Hengtai did not disappoint. Relying on the excellent performance of the center and front foreign aid, they defeated the Mexican American team. The two teams representing Asian football will compete with the Champions League champions Liverpool and South America. The Champions of the Champions River Plate to compete.
　　 In the initial half-zone arrangement, I didn’t know if it was for the draw, or the local team, and wanted to encounter a relatively weak riverbed. Anyway, Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs. Riverbed, while Guangzhou Hengtai was playing against Liverpool.
　　 This set of duel arrangements, but it is in the minds of many domestic fans.
　　 On the stage of the Club World Cup, the direct match between the two favorite teams of domestic fans will be very eye-catching.
　　 Everyone can also witness a rare Chinese derby in the game.
　　 Everyone also wants to see how far Guangzhou Hengtai, which is based on the main axis of its national team, is compared with the world's top clubs.
　　 Before, everyone's opinions on the level of the top teams in the Super League were varied.
　　Some people think that after all, Guangzhou Hengtai has the top foreign aid, plus domestic players are almost at the international level, and it must be about the same in the middle of the five major leagues.
Some believe that although the strength of foreign players is top, it is the level of the stars of the five major leagues, far from being superstars, plus domestic players, even if Hengtai is at the international level, but the physical quality is really good. It is not comparable to the players of the five major leagues. Hengtai's overall strength can reach the level of a relegation team.
　　 Some people even think that although the foreign players are very strong, the domestic players are too dragged down. The overall strength of Hengtai is equivalent to the level of the second-tier teams in the five major leagues.
　　 After all, the international team may be in the second division, and the British championship will not be the main force. In fact, many people seem to know it well.
　　 In comparison, Zheng Zhi was only relegated with his team in the Premier League when he was at his peak, and he was able to play the main role in the championship, and fight the court.
　　While Sun Jihai was in Manchester City, is Manchester City still a famous lift in the Premier League? At that time, it was at the top level.
　　 And the status of these two players in domestic football can be imagined.
After Zheng Zhiliu returned from overseas, the domestic midfielder has always been an absolute main force level. Even now Guangzhou Hengtai, in the midfield position, the key battle, the club coach still believes more and trusts Zheng Zhi, although he is old, But his level is there, it's a fact higher than other players.
And Sun Jihai, not to mention, Asian players are actually at the peak of their bodies at the age of 30. Afterwards, the cliff decline is actually very fast, but Sun Jihai, at nearly 40 years old, can still be in the midfield team. The upstream team can play the main position and lead the team forward.
On the one hand, it can be said that Sun Jihai’s condition is good and the decline is not so obvious, but on the other hand, it also proves that Sun Jihai, as a veteran from the platinum era of the national football team, is still better than many players in his current year. Strong, how obvious the overall strength of the national football is degraded.
　　 So this Guangzhou Hengtai, in the semi-final match, against Liverpool, in fact, is more able to show how far the Chinese players are from the world's top players.
　　 Before the game, many club teammates were asking Yang Feng whether he wanted to save some face to his hometown team during the game.
　　 But Yang Feng answered uniformly.
　　 "Please show me the attitude of the game, and help my compatriots to understand the gap between each other. Three goals are not many, four goals are fine, five goals are better, as long as you don't hit double figures."
　　 Yang Feng asked his teammates to try their best to show the seriousness of the half-time game and show what is called the strength gap.
Before the game, both sides were in harmony. Even many Hengtai players and Yang Feng’s national teammates are deliberately getting close to Yang Feng. After all, China’s strongest player has a relationship with him, and the way to make money in the future will not be wider. ?
It’s just that although Yang Feng was able to get by, he didn’t tell these national teammates "badly" that he didn’t regard this game as a friendly match. Unlike them, he had to rely on the game of the rich. Show yourself, hype yourself...
　　 At the beginning of the game, after the Liverpool players got the instruction to "kick to the death in the first half" suggested by the captain, they naturally showed their best form.
　　 As soon as the kick-off, Liverpool organized a very good offensive offensive offensive.
　　 There was no tentative play, the first attack in the opening, after serving in the midfield, taking advantage of Guangzhou Hengtai's defensive position too far forward, Henderson directly made a long pass and found it deep on the right.
　　 Jordan Ibby, gave full play to his speed advantage and accelerated on the wing.
　　 What is extreme speed? Maybe in the Premier League, Jordan Ibby’s performance was not so obvious, but when he played against Hengtai’s Chinese full-back, Jordan Ibby showed it fully.
　　 Extremely fast speed, strong body, and the Hengtai player who defended Jordan Ibi, could neither catch up nor collide. In the opening 1v1, he was directly defeated cleanly.
　　 After receiving the ball, Jordan Ibby directly slammed into the penalty area, facing the defending of the Hengtai international level central defender, but it was a lightly inverted triangle pass to the center.
In the past in the Premier League, Jordan Ibby’s passing ability was actually not very good, but facing the huge gap in the Hengtai penalty area, Jordan Ibby, who would never pass the ball again, also sent a very threatening kick. Pass.
　　 Without too much defensive pressure, Coutinho, who followed up in the middle, was very
　　 easily kicked his foot and completed the first attempt at the opening game.
　　 Then...
　　 "Is this a goal? Just 23 seconds into the game, after Liverpool's midfielder served, he immediately found the right time to start the offensive."
"Jordan Ibby, who has shown a strong personal ability, broke through a hole directly on the right, and Coutinho, who passed the ball and assisted in the middle, scored the goal. This time in the blitz, Liverpool only took 23 seconds to score. Goal."
　　 Commentator, even the starting players of both sides didn't introduce everything, this one Liverpool has already scored a goal in a fast pace.
　　 It can only be said that for this "friendship", everyone knows that Liverpool are superior in strength, but they did not expect Liverpool to be so serious when playing against an underdog team.
　　 "Perhaps it's just that Liverpool don't want to waste physical energy, and seize the time to get a 2-3 goal lead, and then play ‘play house’ with Hengtai."
　　Hengtai's players are actually a little daunted. I didn't expect Liverpool to have such a "killer" at the beginning of the game, without saving any face.
For the players of Hengtai, it’s not like being able to win a cold game in this game. If you lose, you still have to lose. I never thought about making it difficult for Liverpool, but I can lose. You are a strong team, right? I have to take care of my face. Let's fight evenly on the court.
　　 How is the situation of this game different from what you expected?
　　 Liverpool’s blitzkrieg goal is considered to have awakened many of Hengtai's players, but quickly entering the game state does not mean that the huge personal strength gap between the players of both sides can be smoothed.
In the 8th minute of the game, Liverpool’s attack came back. Coutinho and Lallana played a continuous small range in the midfield. Then Coutinho on the move received Lallana’s heel ball and a straight kick. Plug, the ball passed directly to the right side of Hengtai's penalty area.
　　 Firmino, who inserted diagonally, succeeded in reversing offside. After receiving this pass, he directly completed a volley to hit the goal.
　　 Hengtai's goalkeeper couldn't make a save. This kick hit the opposite corner and flew directly into the goal.
　　 "It's 2 to 0. Hengtai's defense was hit hard just after the start. Liverpool's offensive is too fierce. It doesn't give Hengtai team time to think about the reaction. Less than 10 minutes into the game, it took two goals."
　　 Many imagined situations in which Liverpool would regain strength after the lead did not happen.
　　 Under the gaze of the captain "big guy" Yang Feng, Liverpool's midfielders resolutely showed their best competitive form in the first half.
In the 17th minute of the game, Coutinho made a sudden long-range shot from the outside~EbookFREE.me~ Taking advantage of Hengtai's defensive player's inactive grab, he blasted a wonderful world wave and directly scored the goal, 3-0. , Liverpool’s offensive has not decayed.
Liverpool seems to have a world feud with Hengtai. Even though they are already three goals ahead, the Liverpool origins are still not hesitating physical strength in the frontcourt. The fourth goal is Hengtai's strong pressure. There was a mistake.
Under the huge defensive pressure on the right side, he did not make a direct clearance. Instead, he chose to transfer the ball to the left side with a certain amount of space. There was nothing wrong, but the player on the left side actually stopped the ball and made a mistake. 2, 3 meters, such an opportunity is in front of us, Jordan Ibi naturally has no reason to miss it.
I tried my best to increase my speed, and directly accepted the gift from the opponent's back defense. After entering the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly pushed and shot successfully, helping the team gain a 4-0 lead. .
After 　　, the fifth and sixth goals were all scored by Firmino.
Firmino's continuous offside success turned Hengtai's defense into a joke. Although the back and forth movement without the ball consumes a lot of Firmino's physical energy, this is what Firmino is in the Premier League. What I did most often was just playing as usual today, but the result was a hat trick in the first half.
"6 to 0! Is this the gap between the domestic clubs and the top European clubs? Less than 35 minutes in the half, the Chinese Super League hegemon, last season’s AFC Champions League winner, Hengtai team, has fallen behind 0-6. And in the game, it is impossible to fight back..."
