The Young Lion

The predecessor of the World Club Cup, the Toyota Cup, has only one game per year. When it becomes the World Club Cup, it is a series of "wars".

Six champions from all over the world have already appeared. After four games, no team actually went home.

On the 16th, Al Ahli and Sydney FC staged a qualifying battle of 56 places. Sydney FC won a small goal and won the fifth place. Al Ahli ranked at the bottom of the World Cup.

On the 18th, Etihad and Saprisa took the lead in Yokohama, playing 34 ranking matches.

Saprisa also beat Etihad with a 3:2 score and won the third place in the World Cup.

In the end, Millwall and São Paulo were the finale.

When the semi-finals ended, the media began to criticize the commercial nature of the World Club Cup. Although FIFA created a big boo, what is the champion of the world, but this scene after the reform is still the most in the football map. The two main forces compete: Europe and South America.

Other champions from Africa, Asia and other places are nothing more than to accompany the prince to study, and even in terms of game quality, it is not as good as the friendly match between the two giants of the European preseason.

Looking at the World Club Cup now, it is naturally insignificant.

However, since Millwall is here, of course, the goal is to win the championship.

Moreover, who knows the future.

In ten years, twenty years later, FIFA made the World Club Cup look different. With the development and progress of football level around the world, there is really a world war of great interest. The influence and attention of the cup will naturally rise.

Millwall is the king of the Toyota Cup, and now it has become the World Club Cup. If Millwall can win the championship, the current impact is very limited, but it has been written into the club’s honor history. Maybe 20 years later, people will pay attention to the World Club. At the time of the Cup, the historical scroll will be turned over, but it will happily talk about who is the champion of the World Club Cup after the first formal reform.

Yokohama International Sports Arena.

In the final match of the World Club Cup, he went back and forth and returned to the match between South America and Europe.

The atmosphere of the event also reached its climax at the end.

The stadium stands are full, Millwall and São Paulo have a considerable number of fans. Millwall has developed the Far East market for many years, and has come here to play once a year on average, plus the team’s extremely popular attraction, Aldridge Popularity in Japan is at the pinnacle level in the football world. You know, he won the World Cup championship here too.

Sao Paulo has a deep relationship with Brazil because of historical and cultural relations. Like the start of the J-League in Japan, many Brazilian superstars will come to Japan for a lap when they are about to retire. In addition, the Japanese national team will often think of naturalizing Brazilian players. So São Paulo from Brazil has no shortage of supporters.

At this stage, the relationship between São Paulo and Millwall's club is somewhat rigid. To put it bluntly, São Paulo feels that Aldridge had robbed Kaka and suffered a great loss.

Kaka caused concern in São Paulo due to a spinal injury. Millwall launched an offensive in the transfer market in a timely manner and brought Kaka to Europe at a low price. At this time, the value of Kaka is at least 20 million pounds. And still rising rapidly, São Paulo feels wronged, even resentful in his heart, there is a reason. After all, at this time, the São Paulo club has external worries and internal difficulties. After the World Club Cup, São Paulo won the South American Libertadores Cup. It can be said that a group of players who have reached the peak in South America will go their separate ways. There is no way out. The club is in financial difficulties and can only fly on its own.

Aldrich didn't know São Paulo coach Otto Riosu. Before the finals, he just nodded his head and shook hands.

Millwall will send the strongest lineup today. These players came to Japan to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the scenery. It is enough to rest and relax. It is time to do the right thing!

At this point, the players are conscious, and Millwall's work habits combined with work and rest have made them familiar with this law.

"European Champions League Millwall, South American Libertadores Cup Champion Sao Paulo, World Club Cup finals will stage a peak matchup between the King of Europe and the King of South America! Before the game, many fans worried whether Millwall would retain his strength, now We can rest assured that they sent the strongest lineup to play! We have reason to believe that today we will let everyone see a wonderful game.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Ram.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: C Ronaldo, Henry, Ronaldinho.

São Paulo started with 352.

Goalkeeper: Roglio Cheney.

Guards: France, Lugano, Ed Carlos.

Midfielders: Sisinho, Mineiro, Josue, Danilo, Junior.

Forwards: Amoruso, Aloisio. "

I don't know if the dignity of the South American Libertadores Cup champion is at play, or Otullio is preparing for it.

He actually dared to play a 352 formation when playing Millwall!

When predicting the game before the game, some media pointed out that São Paulo's 352 would be vulnerable to Millwall's 433!

In Europe, Millwall has proved countless times that the team that dared to put a 3 guard in front of them has a terrible end.

But Aldridge didn't care, the formation was always dead.

Who can guarantee that 352 is not actually 532 or 541?

There is now a well-known goalkeeper Cheney in São Paulo.

This goalkeeper is estimated to be in history forever, and it will be difficult for future generations to surpass.

Because he is a goalkeeper who has excellent positioning and penalty skills, and is a penalty shooter in São Paulo.

A lot of goals have been scored so far.

The reason for his famous history should be: the goalkeeper with the most goals in history!

This did not have much impact on Millwall's game.

Next is Sisinho, who is starting at the wings.

He made a name for himself at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands this summer and became the focus of attention of European giants. Millwall also studied his technical and tactical characteristics. At the same time, Real Madrid is the most enthusiastic suitor.

Aldridge just saw the report collected by the scouts in the club and left behind. He did not expect to see him at the World Club Cup up close.

For Brazilian players to become famous, offense is almost a prerequisite.

Sisinho is no exception. He has an excellent offensive and outstanding ability, but the hidden danger is that his sense of defense and position are too weak!

It's a big colander, and his weaknesses are almost clear when he switches between offense and defense.

This is why Aldridge lost interest in him after only a glance.

If he was introduced only because of his excellent offense, why not simply transform a winger into a full-back?

The offensive ability is still excellent, the hidden dangers are similar, and the defense is weak.

The other famous one is striker veteran Amoruso, but after all, he is already 31 years old. The threat is definitely not as strong as when he played in the Bundesliga and Serie A. Moreover, he is not a top-ranked forward himself, especially In the era of Brazil's national team, which is full of monsters.

In the enthusiastic cheering of fans, the two sides opened the battle.

Although Millwall did his best, he was not in a hurry to speed up and did not take a breath to eat his opponent's momentum.

They entered the game in a step-by-step manner, adapted to the field, and the whole team worked together to rhythm.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, everything went smoothly.

However, Otto Rio, the coach of São Paulo, has always frowned. He frequently turned back to discuss things with his assistants. He was very surprised by Millwall's formation today!

Let him be thunderbolt.

Not right!

What's wrong?

Millwall's starting lineup has few problems.

Whoever should go, whoever goes.

However, the players are not in the right position on the court!

Ronaldinho, the starter looks like a left-winger, in fact he is playing the midfielder!

Henry, the starter looks like a center, but he is playing a left winger!

Who is that center?

Kaka!

At least it seems that Kaka is standing close to the center!

In fact, Kaka's role today is a pseudo center!

When inspiring Kaka's more potential, Aldridge's position on him is relatively clear. First of all, Kaka is used. It is impossible to let him go to the side, or let Kaka leave the middle. It is a step backwards.

So how can it be used in the middle?

The front waist, the shadow forward, is the normal usage.

It is impossible for Kaka to charge in front of him alone. He needs to be covered by his teammates, so when playing a shadow striker, Henry is in front of him to check, and he is more likely to win.

And for him to play a counterfeit center, he also needs to be covered by his teammates to contain his opponent's defense.

Those are the two wingers, Henry and Ronaldo.

This usage is not uncommon in the future. It can be said that it is another upgrade of the No. 9 half-character. Even players like Ibrahimovic and Rooney, who should seem to be absolutely center players, will be treated as pseudo-centers by the coaches for a certain period of time. In use, and the most successful, it should be the original history of Messi.

But I really want to say that the existence of the pseudo-center has occurred half a century ago, but this phenomenon has always been in a cycle, and the pseudo-center has shined for a period, and then suddenly disappeared, like the shadow of the dormant world. In the middle, and then for a period of time, suddenly broke out!

Aldrich made such a decision with great intentions.

His eyes are locked on the future Ronaldo and Messi!

To pave the way for these two geniuses, and to enable them to succeed in the ranks, to reach the pinnacle of a ruling era, then the role of center must be weakened within the Millwall team!

Divide the center's mission and power on the field into the hands of two wingers.

As for whether Messi will become a pseudo center in the future, Aldridge also has a decision in mind.

No way!

It is like a Pandora's box. Once Messi opens the box, he will definitely become the unshakable absolute king, and other roles in the Millwall team will be overshadowed.

The biggest challenge for Aldrich in the future is how to enable Ronaldo and Messi to coexist when they are activated!

In terms of status, the two must be equal!

Otherwise, Millwall may not face the situation where fish and bear paws can only take one, but the end of nothing!
