Chapter 817 Hanging Upside Down with a Golden Hook! (Urgently Looking for a Monthly Pass)

After lunch break.

Fang Jue held the last tactical meeting before the war.

The tactics that should be explained have been explained several times, mainly to remind some details of the game and places that need attention.

In the evening, the entire Aston Villa team left the hotel and went to the stadium amidst the cheers of local fans.

For the final of the Club World Cup with Santos, Fang Jue did not put pressure on the team.

His attitude was like that of a normal Champions League match.

In fact, in Fang Jue's opinion, Santos is not necessarily stronger than Aston Villa's opponents in the Champions League group stage.

For Aston Villa, the biggest problem in this game is that it is an encounter. Santos is a South American team, and Aston Villa lacks experience in playing against South American teams.

Arriving at the final venue, the Yokohama Athletic Stadium, the entire Aston Villa team was greeted with wild cheers from enthusiastic fans.

Numerous fans held portraits of stars such as Modric, Bale, Suarez, Hamei, Milner, and Clement, and shouted at the bus where Aston Villa players were riding.

The scene was as enthusiastic as boiling water.

Warm up before the game.

Pre-battle speeches and mobilization in the locker room.

Amidst the warm cheers of the fans at the scene, players from both sides entered the field.

Everything is ready, the game is about to start.

...

on the pitch.

Clement, as the captain of Aston Villa, was defeated when he guessed coins with the captain of Santos.

So Santos won the right to pick a side.

And Aston Villa won the kick-off.

Players from both sides took a group photo in the stadium.

Behind them is the advertising background of the official cooperative merchants of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The group photo is over.

The players of the two teams stand on the field according to their formation.

A big battle is imminent.

On the big screen of the Yokohama Sports Stadium, the starting lists of today's Aston Villa and Santos began to be played.

Aston Villa (4-3-3): 1-De Gea/2-Kyle Walker, 15-Papastathopoulos, 6-Senderos, 8-Milner/5-Clay Mente, 10-Modric, 21-J Luo/7-Bell, 9-Suarez, 22-Sadio Mane;

Santos (5-3-2): 1-Raphael/4-Danilo, 2-Edu Dracena, 6-Durval, 14-Bruno Rodrigo, 3-Leo/5 -Arauca, 7-Enrique, 10-Ganso/9-Borges, 11-Neymar

"In the previous three or four finals, Kashiwa Helios and Al-Sad scored zero to zero. In the penalty shootout, Al-Sad defeated the host Kashiwa Helios and won the third place in the Club World Cup. .”

"This game is very important for Aston Villa and Santos. Before that, in the history of the Club World Cup, European teams won 25 to 25 and tied with South American teams." Howe said, "That is to say, whichever side can win the championship this time will be able to overwhelm the other side."

"In the official game, the two teams have never had a record of confrontation. In this game, Aston Villa's lineup has changed compared with the semi-finals. The team has returned to their familiar four-back formation."

"Colombia teenager Ronaldo started again. He was loaned to Braga last season. Ronaldo performed well. After returning from loan, this handsome and somewhat shy Colombian boy has been more and more reused by Fang Jue."

...

The characteristic of South American teams is that they are good at offense, and defense is not their strong point, nor is it their style.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, the Copa Libertadores champion did not stay strong and began to put on an offensive posture.

Aston Villa is also not conservative here, and the two sides are attacking and attacking.

"Both teams are very aggressive, without the usual cautiousness and tentativeness after the start of the final."

This also made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV very happy.

"Let's take a look. The game has only started less than ten minutes ago. Both sides have already had several threatening shots. Among them, Aston Villa shot 2 times, and Santos shot 3 times. One shot in the minute and the game was very open."

There was a cacophonous booing from the stands of the Yokohama Athletic Stadium for Aston Villa defender James Milner.

Milner used a very fierce tackle to shovel Neymar with the ball to the ground.

Although Aston Villa is very popular in Japan, but on Santos' side, Neymar's popularity in Japan is also quite high.

Neymar has been surrounded by the media since his debut, and the continuous media exposure has made his reputation very high since his debut.

In this way, perhaps many people have heard of Neymar's name before they have seen him play football.

Neymar's team is Pele's home team - Brazil Santos Football Club.

The Brazilian media and even the global media are paying attention to this talented boy in the football kingdom, and he will be associated with the football king Pele at every turn. Therefore, Neymar has a very high starting point in his career.

In addition, Neymar has cool hairstyles, gorgeous moves on the field, brilliant football talent, unrestrained personality, and countless topics on his body, always attracting the attention of the media and fans.

For example, in this Club World Cup, Neymar took the initiative to tell Japanese fans that his grandfather is of Brazilian Japanese descent and he has Japanese blood in him.

This statement made Neymar very popular with the Japanese, who regarded him as half of his own.

After Neymar was shoveled to the ground by Milner, he let out a scream, turned several times on the ground, and then hugged his ankle with a painful expression.

Santos players also immediately gathered around and put pressure on the referee.

Santos' head coach Morrisi was very angry on the sidelines, yelling.

He is not pretending, Neymar is now Santos's big baby, the team is pointing at Neymar's transfer fee to make a fortune, he is really worried about Neymar's injury.

...

The referee verbally warned Milner.

Seeing that the referee did not play a card, many Neymar fans in the stands booed.

Fang Jue curled his lips. Don't look at Neymar rolling and screaming a few times just now. It looks scary, but in fact he didn't suffer any injuries.

Moreover, Milner's tackle was aimed at the ball, and there was no hurtful action. It can only be said that Neymar's performance was too exaggerated.

Santos' free kick.

Ganso's free kick missed the wall and bounced off the wall.

He followed up and shot again, and the football hit high.

...

Aston Villa are organizing the attack.

They were not in a hurry, when they slowly turned their feet in the backcourt, attracting Santos midfielders to come up to grab the ball.

Modric suddenly kicked a long pass!

Bale receives the football on the wing.

At this time, Hamei was plugging in at high speed, and his assault attracted the attention of the Santos defenders.

Arauca was following him back, and De La Cena also focused on the running Mane.

After Bell made a move to cut in and shoot, he suddenly passed the ball to Suarez who had already started.

Bell, Hamei and Mane attracted almost all of Santos' defensive attention, and Suarez was temporarily unattended.

"Suarez! He catches the ball and there's no defense around him—"

Before the commentator finished speaking, Suarez made a slight adjustment and volleyed directly! !

The quality of this shot is quite high!

Fortunately, Santos goalkeeper Rafael was very focused, he made a brave save, and he flew into the air.

The right palm lifted the football out.

Although the goal was not scored, Santos was startled into a cold sweat.

"It was a fantastic shot!"

"Aston Villa's cooperation is very tacit, Bale's pass is very precise, Suarez's shot is also beautiful, and the pounce is also wonderful!"

The narrators all praised and said.

Suarez received the ball while running, and after making a slight adjustment, he suddenly shot coldly.

Such a shot is very sudden.

If it weren't for Santos goalkeeper Rafael's concentration and excellent condition, this goal might really have been scored.

...

Aston Villa's corner.

Hamei came to take the corner kick.

Suarez headed the ball in the front and rubbed it, Mane hit the goal from the back, but he was unable to top the power, and the ball was pushed out by the defender.

Modric took a long shot at the top of the penalty area.

The football hit the defender and was refracted. However, the strength also slowed down and the football was caught by Santos goalkeeper Rafael.

The latter immediately threw the ball to attack.

After Enrique got the ball, he directly drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot.

Battaglia stopped the ball with his chest, took two steps forward, and after trying to pass Clement to no avail, he resentfully passed the ball to Borges in front of him.

However, at this time, Aston Villa's defensive formation has already fallen, and Santos' fast break opportunity has passed.

"This is the characteristic of Brazilian players. No matter who they are, they want to take two steps when they get the ball, and they all want to surpass others. European teams can deal with such opponents as long as they can delay their dribbling immediately. Their quick counterattacks are ineffective." Howe commented.

"Hey, well, Aston Villa started out as a defensive and counterattack team. If Santos is still playing so slowly, it will be difficult to find an offensive opportunity." Zhang Lu said with a smile.

Later, after Neymar took the ball, he tried to forcefully pass Milner, but Milner and Senderos jointly closed the goal and cut off the football.

Aston Villa immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Hamei dribbled the ball at high speed and scored the goal.

Mane received the ball and turned around, passed, accelerated, passed Santos' full-back Leo, and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area.

Facing Rodrigo who came up to intercept, Mane made a gesture to shoot from a long distance, but knocked the football behind him.

Kyle Walker, who followed up, knocked the football to Hamei.

After pulling the ball horizontally, the Colombian teenager pretended to shoot, but unexpectedly rubbed the ball to the back point.

There, there was no one guarding Bell, who had already penetrated in place.

"pretty!"

"Barb!"

The unguarded Bell made a very stretched barb shot.

The football flew into the net between the hands of Santos goalkeeper Rafael.

"Goooooooooooooal!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this !

"One to zero! Bale opened the scoring for Aston Villa, a very very very beautiful barb shot goal!"
