Originally, Liverpool still attached great importance to this Club World Cup. They came to Japan two early, but because Boca youth's core ace Riquelme was unable to play, this made Liverpool players feel relaxed. Although he adjusted the jet lag every day, adapted to the climate, and prepared for the game, their time was actually divided by merchants.

Liverpool, which has many big-name stars and new Mr. Jin Ball, has been worshipped by fans here. They use advertisements every day to shoot fans, meet fans organizations, sign autographs, take photos as souvenirs, and receive gifts more than the training time.

In addition to Chen Yu, other Red Army players are very curious about the mysterious Oriental civilization, and even head coach Benitez hopes to understand. In the past two days, Liverpool players collectively watched the K-1 fighting competition. This fighting combines boxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Sanshou and Tai Chi movements. Some people even went to nightclubs at night. In comparison, the coach's cultural taste is more profound. Benitez and the coaching team visited the famous Japanese garden Sanxi Garden in Yokohama, and also went to a physical examination of the authentic tea ceremony - it looked more like an "old man's sightseeing group".

As the winner of the Golden Globe Award, Chen Yu also has countless fans in Japan. After he came to Japan, countless merchants hoped to cooperate with Chen Yu and let Chen Yu be their advertising spokesperson, but they were rejected by Chen Yu. Chen Yu's external reason was that he had to prepare for the Club World Cup with peace of mind. He had to win the Club World Cup championship. In the club, he lacked this championship. In fact, Chen Yu did not want to endorse Japanese companies, and even Zhang Shubin was a little confused about this, because the endorsement fee given by Japanese merchants was higher than that of European and American merchants, but because Chen Yu insisted, Zhang Shubin could only do it according to Chen Yu's wishes.

Although Chen Yu did not make money by shooting advertisements in Japan like Gerald, Alonso and others, his income was also quite large. His signature jerseys were sold for about three million pieces during Japan. If Liverpool could win the championship, Chen Yu's jerseys would still be sold very well. Therefore, Chen Yu's jerseys were 15% commission for jersey sales, so Chen Yu's income was not less than one million euros. In addition, Liverpool received a lot of commercial advertisements in Japan, and Chen Yu had a commission for portrait rights, and this income was also quite large.

Liverpool obviously was a little too relaxed. They said that Urawa Red Diamonds are very strong, but in fact they didn't take Urawa Red Diamonds to heart. Even the Boca youth's difficult 1-goal victory over the African champion Saher the day before, it did not arouse Liverpool's alertness. They believed that this was the reason why the Boca youth's strength declined after the absence of Riquelme, and did not think that this was the level of the weak team being improved.

This mentality will definitely affect Liverpool's combat effectiveness. Liverpool's coaching staff is very clear about this, but they just warn them without any pain, so that players should pay attention to the game and not underestimate their opponents. However, this does not help to wake up Liverpool players, and it is not easy to beat Liverpool's coaching staff also believe that even if they can beat Urawa Red Diamonds at one-third of the level, it is not too late to get nervous after entering the finals, so they do not pay much attention to this phenomenon.

Although Urawa Red Diamonds dare not expect them to overturn Liverpool and reach the final, this does not mean that Urawa Red Diamonds do not pay attention to this game. In fact, Urawa Red Diamonds attach only second to Boca youths.

Urawa Red Diamond attaches so much importance to the game against Liverpool, in addition to proving the strength of Japanese football and J League to the world, there is another very important reason. Since Chen Yu returns to the Chinese team, the Chinese team will definitely become an important opponent of the Japanese team in the future. The Japanese Football Association hopes to see Chen Yu's strength through this game and see if the Japanese defender can defend Chen Yu. This is mentioned in Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun. I hope that Urawa Red Diamond players can give Chen Yu a little bit of pain and let him know that Asian games are not easy to play.

Chinese media are also speculating on the game between Liverpool and Urawa Red Diamonds. In the eyes of Chinese media, this game is the first frontal competition between ****************'s core striker and Japanese defender. If Chen Yu can abuse the Japanese defender in the game, the Chinese team can basically compete with all the strong teams in Asia. If there is a bonus for a team like Liverpool, Chen Yu still cannot score easily, and Chen Yu returns to the Chinese team and dare not say that he can easily qualify in Asia.

On the day of the game, the Yokohama International Comprehensive Arena, which can accommodate 73,000 people, was almost full. Half of them supported Liverpool, nearly half supported Urawa Ruby, and a very small number were neutral fans, who were purely watching the fun.

Before the game started, the two sides shook hands and greeted each other very friendly. When the Japanese players shook hands, they nodded, looking humbly and humbly asking for advice. Osiek and Benitez on the sidelines also said they would learn from Liverpool. However, after the game started, the Liverpool players found that Urawa Red Diamond played very tough and aggressively. Almost every player was running desperately, as if this game was not ninety minutes but 45 minutes.

Liverpool was not prepared for this and was robbed by Urawa Red Diamonds for many mistakes. Fortunately, Liverpool's two central defenders Carragher and Agel performed well. They were very confident in facing Urawa Red Diamonds' forwards and resolved Urawa Red Diamonds' two frontcourt counterattacks.

The fans in the stands thought that the opening would be a one-sided situation, and Urawa Red Diamond would definitely be pressed to defend the game in the half. They never expected that Liverpool would be beaten by Urawa Red Diamond. After ten minutes of the game, Liverpool still had no chance to shoot. Chen Yu, Kuyt and Crouch ran away in front, but they could not get the support of their teammates behind. Occasionally, they were destroyed by Urawa Red Diamond with a foul action.

The Japanese commentator on the scene was furious and said excitedly: "Urawa Red Diamonds played so beautifully. They were actually playing against Liverpool, who was so popular. The Golden Baller Mr. Chen Yu had no choice but to defend Urawa Red Diamonds. This is really exciting. If Urawa can defend Chen Yu for 90 minutes, then we dare to say that even if Chen Yu returns, the Chinese team is not afraid."

Duan Xuan, a Chinese commentator on the sidelines, was a little anxious, "Chen Yu basically didn't encounter any goals in ten minutes like this. What's wrong with Liverpool's midfield and backcourt? Can't control the situation on the Japanese players? These ten minutes really make people wonder how they got the double championship. Liverpool must change it. It would be a joke if the European double championship cannot enter the Club World Cup final."

Liverpool was stunned by Urawa Red Diamonds. They did not pay attention to this Japanese team before the game, and were absent-minded when studying them. After the game started, they did not expect that this weak Asian team would be so bold. They were completely overwhelming Liverpool. Combined with these factors, it would be strange if Liverpool was not confused.

However, Liverpool is Liverpool, and the double championship was not achieved by luck. They were careless and underestimated by the enemy at first, and were the Urawa Red Diamonds gained the upper hand. However, Liverpool soon calmed down and launched a fierce counterattack against Urawa Red Diamonds under the leadership of Chen Yu and Gerald.

Chen Yu began to lack the support of his teammates, and he himself wanted to see how strong Urawa Red Diamonds were, so Chen Yu did not play well in the first ten minutes of the game. Ten minutes later, the team launched a counterattack, and Chen Yu immediately became active. His breakthrough and inward cut on the wing became Liverpool's most sharp weapon.

In the 15th minute of the game, Chen Yu, who retreated from the wing to his penalty area, grabbed the opportunity. Under the siege of three Puhe Red Diamonds, he successfully brought the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt of Urawa Red Diamonds.

Chen Yu was observing his teammates' running position when he dribbled the ball. He saw that Kuyt had a better position, and this has attracted many Barcelona, ​​and then you, Chen Yu, passed the ball decisively and passed it directly to Kuyt for a long pass.

Kuyt did not expect Chen Yu to pass the ball to him because there was Crouch in the middle, but Kuyt was not panicked. He stopped the ball and penetrated into the penalty area.

Facing Asian teams, Kuyt's confidence is almost the same as Chen Yu.

Just now, Chen Badminton dribbled the ball and passed Ama Tsuhito, Hasegawa Makoto and Abe Yuki, put great pressure on Urawa Red Diamond. Their defenders almost all rushed to Chen Yu, and Kuyt was empty. It was not until Chen Badminton passed the ball to Kuyt, and Urawa Red Diamond's defenders went to make up for Kuyt.

When Kuyt dribbled the ball into the corner of the penalty area, Japanese defender Tori Tanaka arrived. Kuyt struck horizontally, trying to get rid of Tanaka's Treasure King, but Tanaka's Treasure King is also a Japanese international. He also knows Kuyt very well. When he saw Kuyt cut inward, he immediately fell to the ground and slipped the shovel horizontally.

Tanaka Togasa King's purpose is not to intercept Kuyt, nor to commit a foul. His purpose is to stop Kuyt from shooting in the shortest time, so that Urawa Red Diamond players will have no way to come and intercept.

After Kuyt cut in, he was ready to shoot, but Kuyt saw Tanaka's shovel blocking the possibility of rolling balls. At this time, other Urawa Red Diamond players were still making quick defenses, so Kuyt made a curved ball and hit the far corner of the goal.

The ball shot was tricky and hit the back corner. If the goalkeeper Zhulong was too unable to get in the air, he would intercept the ball in advance, and there would be an empty goal behind him.

However, Kuyt is not a player with delicate skills like Chen Yu, Pennant, and Gerald. He is the kind of hard horse and hard bridge. The action of a curved ball hitting the far corner is a bit high-end for Kuyt. Without defense and interference, Kuyt was unable to shoot the ball within the goal frame.

Seeing the ball flew out of the baseline, the Japanese players breathed a sigh of relief, clapped each other and encouraged each other.
