Although Kenjiro Yokoyama was very angry about Sato's private gambling fight, since the two of them had already agreed, he couldn't say anything more and had to serve as one of the witnesses of the matter. The two sides were currently negotiating.

The cooperation matters are meaningless and can only be brought to an end for the time being and will be discussed after this semi-final.

After the previous rounds of qualifiers, Kashima Antlers and Mexico America have become the two teams that have entered the semi-finals. The other two teams that will compete with them in the semi-finals are the South American champions Portuguese and European

Champions Real Madrid.

At 5:30 pm on December 14, the semi-final showdown between the Portuguese and Kashima Antlers took place at Kashima Stadium.

Li Zhao is no stranger to the opponent Kashima Antlers. He can even remember when he first debuted in China, when he, Wang Ziyi and several other players were members of the Genbao Junior Team and played against the Kashima Antlers Junior Team.

.Although both sides were competing against first-tier teams at that time, the starting point of myself and others was much lower than that of the other team at that time.

Today, many years later, when he faced the Kashima Antlers, he found several of his former losers from the opponent's first-team roster, but only one player, Sangan Kento, made it onto the playing list. And he

They are still only in the substitute lineup. This situation has formed a sharp reversal in the current comparison, and this gap will probably only get wider in the future. Li Zhao does not know whether this is a kind of luck.

.

Now it seems that it is not difficult for them to defeat Kashima Antlers. After all, the strength gap between the two teams is there, and most of the other players in the Portuguese team also hold similar views to Li Zhao.

But sometimes being overconfident also means underestimating the opponent, so some players behaved a little carelessly at the beginning of the game, obviously not paying much attention to this game. But the strength of Kashima Antlers, who can win the AFC Champions League, is obviously underestimated by them.

, coupled with the opponent's home field advantage, the Portuguese team soon encountered a powerful attack from the home team.

In only the third minute of the game, the slackness of the Portuguese defense gave Kashima Antlers a chance. Midfielder Mitsuo Ogasawara's pass directly opened the gap, and the forward

Seima Doi also made a timely fork. The latter's calm push in the face of a single shot made the Portuguese lose the ball first.

However, this conceded goal also completely awakened the Portuguese players. If they were serious, they could still crush their opponents in terms of strength, so the situation on the field reversed after a while. Kashima Antlers'

There was a tremor in front of the goal for a while. If their defense hadn't been good and their luck wasn't bad, the goal might have been broken long ago.

In the 31st minute of the game, the Portuguese got a good set-kick opportunity.

Li Zhao did not kick out the "Three-Body Meteor" stunt that defied physics this time. Now he will only try that trick when he feels that he is in good condition, but with his original free kick

But his basic skills were enough. A fallen leaf ball with a tricky angle bypassed the wall and hit the dead center on the right side of the goal, leaving the opponent's goalkeeper beyond his reach.

After equalizing the score, the Portuguese team's offensive went even further, even suppressing the opponent's formation to within half-time. However, the state of the Kashima Antlers players did not seem to be affected at all. As a team that is equally good at The team in the cup competition and stubbornly resisted the Portuguese team's offensive in the rest of the first half.

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw, and then the two sides entered the halftime break.

"Migan-kun, come on in the second half! It's up to you whether you can restrain their arrowhead Li Zhao." Kashima Antlers coach Ishii Masatada said as he looked at his substitute Kento Migan.

He had heard about the friendly match between his club's youth team and the Shanghai Genbao Youth Team a few years ago, so he thought of this section. But based on this alone, it was nonsense to think that he was familiar with Li Zhaohui. But Ishii Masatada Naturally, he had his own considerations in choosing Sangan Jiandu to guard Li Zhao. Although his technique is not refined enough, his physique is well developed, so it may be possible to use such a substitute to restrict Li Zhao.

"I will definitely try my best to stop Li Zhaojun, at least to prevent him from effectively connecting with other teammates." Although Sanganjiandou knew how much he had, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he packed his bags hard. Ticketway.

"Well done! We went all the way from the previous qualifiers to the semi-finals. How could we be stopped by them so easily? We are not here to play supporting roles in this World Club Championship. The championship is our real goal. .So everyone else must also work hard and win this battle first." Coach Masatada Ishii encouraged him at the end of the break.

However, Ishii Masatada obviously still overestimated the effectiveness of his substitutions. This trick may have been of some use to Li Zhao when he first entered the league a few years ago, but it is completely insufficient for him today.

Possessing comprehensive skills and excellent physical fitness, Li Zhao is minimized by the impact of the opponent's marking when making passes, breakthroughs, shots and other actions. The harassment of the three-pole gymnastics is like brown sugar, which makes Li Zhao feel overwhelmed. Apart from being annoying, it didn't seem to have much effect. Instead, it made Ishii Masatada feel that the gains outweighed the losses.

Moreover, the Portuguese team has more than just Li Zhao. Even without Li Zhao, the Portuguese team can still be a strong team with a good record.

"Three poles, right? It seems that you are only capable of three poles. No wonder you were sent by your head coach to keep an eye on our Brother Zhao. But he must have made the wrong calculation. If Brother Zhao gets soaring, he may not even be able to stop the Gundam. Just rely on you. Is this okay? Of course, if it can affect his mood, it can be considered an achievement!" Hu Jinghang couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that Sangan Jiandou was so clingy but had little effect. She took advantage of her temporary free time and came to him again. He couldn't help but laugh when he was around.

"That's enough. As long as he is in a bad mood, it will definitely affect the success rate of the movements and greatly decrease." The three-pole gymnastics fight was like going over the edge.

"Then I'm afraid you will be even more disappointed. Our brother Zhao has the best self-regulation, so your small role is actually difficult to achieve, so it's best to go to bed!" Hu Jinghang still saw the other party. He looked stubborn and continued to joke.

"Ba Ge!" Sangan Kendo was furious for a moment.

He was really stimulated this time, and immediately jumped up on the spot, and subconsciously made a push to Hu Jinghang. Of course, he was also afraid that if he shot too hard, it would cause trouble, so he still had more or less in his hands.

He controlled his strength, but he didn't expect that when he touched Hu Jinghang's body, he still fell down.

"Di di di di~!!" The referee's whistle sounded. He ran over and gave Sangan Kento a yellow card and gave the Portuguese team a set kick opportunity. Sangan Kento also understood that he had been tricked.

, I felt like crying without tears for a moment.

The tens of thousands of Japanese fans at home were naturally dissatisfied with the penalty and protested and questioned it, but it did not have any effect. After watching the video, the referee thought that everything was within a reasonable range, so he still maintained the original decision.

Judgment.

As the instigator, Hu Jinghang did not expect that his complaints would cause the other party to get angry, and just now he just followed the trend. Although this kind of penalty is somewhat controversial, it is definitely justified. After all, it is not a flop. Maybe Li Zhao disdains it.

It's not easy to do this kind of thing, but the same cannot be said for other people in the team. After all, someone always needs to do the dirty work in a team.

It was already the 56th minute of the game. Although the position of the set kick obtained by the Portuguese was a bit biased, it still posed a certain threat to the goal. Li Zhao still followed the previous routine to kick the ball, but this time it was arbitrary

The ball failed to go around, but was directly blocked by the wall.

During the scramble, Nishi Dawu of Kashima Antlers was the first to grab the ball, but his clearance ball made a mistake. It hit teammate Nishi Dawu in front and then bounced aside. Gao Hongyu just happened to get it. And he did not hesitate.

, quietly moved a step and then shot, using a low kick to blast the goal in front of him. Before this, he had not scored a goal for half a year, and today's goal finally made him find it again.

A long-lost feeling.

2-1, the Portuguese used an opportunity that was not a chance to take the lead.

Kashima Antlers coach Ishii Masatada felt that his substitution seemed to be wrong. He had the urge to directly replace Sankan Kento, but when he saw Sankan Kento's hard work on the field, he looked pretty good.
Chapter completed!
