The teams that can win the Asian Football Champions League are more or less capable, and Gamba Osaka's counterattack illustrates this point.
Of course, the Liverpool team was also aware of this, so in the following games, the Liverpool team did not press forward and attack aggressively like before. Every time they attacked, someone from Liverpool's defense always stayed behind to defend.
Of course, the European champions are much stronger than the Asian champions, so the rest of the game is in Liverpool's hands. Gamba Osaka can only study with Liverpool now. They are completely suppressed by Liverpool. Of course
The occasional counterattack opportunities did not cause too much trouble for Liverpool.
After scoring the goal, Liverpool did not stop attacking. They came here not just to win the World Club Cup. During this time, Benitez was experimenting with a new central defender combination, and they hoped to settle
?Ferdinand can find his form as quickly as possible and integrate into Liverpool's tactical system.
However, it is obvious that this game against the Asian champion Gamba Osaka did not test the defense very much, because Gamba Osaka's offense is really difficult to threaten Liverpool's goal. However, their counterattack is still very distinctive.
, simple, fast and efficient.
However, Gamba Osaka's counter attack still looked a bit raw against Liverpool. After adapting to Gamba Osaka's style of play, Liverpool began to exert force.
Mascherano took the ball and dunked lightly, past Ming Zhihe, who rushed towards him, and then quickly passed the ball to the Russian Tsar Arshavin on the left. As soon as he received the ball, Arshavin's strength was shown. Like
As a main player of a giant Premier League team like him, his strength is indeed much higher than that of the opposite Gamba Osaka players. After catching the ball, Arshavin immediately accelerated towards the back line of Gamba Osaka!
Gamba Osaka's full-back Kadiki immediately pounced. Kadiki is fast, and his defense relies on his stubbornness. This guy is not easy to deal with. Seeing Arshavin rushing over, Japan
International player Ka Di Liang was very energetic.
Seeing that this guy performed extremely well in the European Cup, and even attracted the attention of Barcelona for a time, if Zenit St. Petersburg hadn't asked for too high a price, it's hard to say that this guy would be a member of Barcelona now.
Faced with such a powerful guy, Kadi Liang naturally did not dare to neglect him at all. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to this defense, cheering himself up in his heart, and he must guard against this kid.
Seeing a short boy lowering his center of gravity slightly and carefully staring at the ball at his feet, Russian Czar Arshavin's body swayed rapidly. As for his feet, Arshavin's skills were not very flashy, so he really didn't do anything like riding a bicycle.
He rarely uses it. His breakthroughs usually rely on powerful explosive power and instantaneous changes of direction.
Therefore, Arshavin used his powerful explosive power and instant change of direction to slide past Kadiliang. Kadiliang immediately turned around and rushed towards Arshavin crazily. As expected, this guy did not hesitate to fight hard. If it were someone else who was attacked by Arshavin,
After such a breakthrough, he definitely gave up. Arshavin's speed was too fast. But Kadiliang turned around very quickly and rushed towards Arshavin crazily.
Feeling the situation behind him, Arshavin was slightly surprised. However, he was not an inexperienced person. Although he was a little surprised, it did not make him confused.
Arshavin glanced slightly at the situation in the penalty area with the corner of his eye, and then thrust the ball into the penalty area before Kaji Liang pounced on him. The ball drew an arc in the air, bypassed the defense of Gamba Osaka at the front point, and flew straight
Fernando Torres, who is entangled with Zheng Zheng and Yamaguchi Satoshi.
Seeing the ball coming, the two squeezed each other with their bodies at the same time, then jumped high, stretched their necks, and hit the ball!
"Bang!" The two men's heads hit the ball hard, and the ball continuously changed directions and then bounced towards Qiu Ze at the front of the penalty area.
Satoshi Nakazawa in the penalty area was shocked. He quickly put down Kuyt behind him, rushed towards the edge of the penalty area, made a sliding tackle, and headed straight for the ball with his straight right leg.
With his eyes on the ball, he caught a glimpse of Satota Nakazawa coming fiercely from the corner of his eye. Qiu Ze did not retreat. Just when the ball was about to hit the ground, Qiu Ze quickly stretched out his kick and raised the ball with his foot. The football quickly moved
It flew upwards and flew behind Satota Nakazawa who was sliding towards him.
At this time, Zhong Ze Chongtai's rapidly sliding body moved over quickly, and his straight legs quickly passed under Qiu Ze's leg that stretched out to pick the ball, and rushed straight towards Qiu Ze's
Get a foothold!
"Danger!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, and Xu Yang, the guest commentator, exclaimed at the same time, making the fans tremble slightly.
When Rafael Benitez saw Satota Nakazawa's sharp kick on the sidelines, his heart twitched, and his expression turned gloomy. He didn't want to lose their organization and offense because of such a useless championship game.
The core!
Qiu Ze is extremely important to Liverpool. Without him, Liverpool's combat effectiveness will drop at least one level. Rafael Benitez certainly does not want to see Qiu Ze injured in this meaningless game.
At that time, he hated that damn Satota Nakazawa in his heart.
At that critical moment, Qiu Ze's reaction was extremely fast. He suddenly kicked his foot on the ground and jumped up. At this time, Nakazawa Satota's straight legs quickly jumped towards Qiu Ze.
He stood up and passed by without touching Qiu Ze who jumped up.
"Beautiful! Beautiful dodge! Qiu Ze dodged!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, roared excitedly. Countless Liverpool fans were relieved at the scene.
However, at this time, the fans of Gamba Osaka, Japan became nervous. At this time, their faces were extremely pale.
"Danger! Chris is going to shoot!" the commentator of a local sports channel in Japan said in horror.
After jumping over Satora Nakazawa's body and landing, Qiu Ze didn't wait for the football to hit the ground. He directly crossed his thigh and hit the football that was falling rapidly beside him.
Boom! Qiu Ze's right leg hit the falling football like a sledgehammer, and the falling football immediately hit Gamba Osaka's goal like a shell.
"Volley... the ball went in, the ball came in, the ball came in, the ball came in, the ball came in, the ball came in, the ball came in, the ball came in!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, shouted excitedly, "It was Qiu Ze who scored the goal.
Zero! Liverpool are two goals ahead."
After the goal, Liverpool's players were not very excited, as if it was not worth their excitement. At the end of the first half, Liverpool led Gamba Osaka 2-0.
After the start of the second half, Gamba Osaka stepped up its attack. One attack also threatened Liverpool's goal, but Endo Yasuhito's long shot was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.
Gamba Osaka occasionally had opportunities to attack, but the threat to Liverpool was not great, so Liverpool continued to attack.
Gerrard dribbled the ball quickly forward from the center. Gerrard dribbled the ball very quickly and quickly easily broke through the defense of Gamba Osaka's forward line.
Seeing Gerrard's breakthrough, Gamba Osaka's defensive midfielder Akira immediately stepped forward. At the same time, Yasuhito Endo was helping to defend. Gerrard, who was dribbling the ball, saw this formation and quickly pulled the ball back.
Prepare to pass the ball back to the wing.
At this time, Endo Yasuhito quickly moved his body to the side and stretched out a leg to block Gerrard's pass. Who would have thought that Gerrard did not pass the ball to the side, but passed the ball to the side.
Push forward.
The ball quickly passed by Yasuhito Endo's feet and rolled straight towards Qiu Ze in front. Qiu Ze quickly moved forward, ready to catch the ball. However, Gamba Osaka's center back Satoshi Yamaguchi rushed forward quickly.
come out.
Gamba Osaka's defense was only three people behind. Now Satoshi Yamaguchi rushed out, and the remaining Ryo Kachi and Sata Nakazawa immediately returned to the center to strengthen the defense in the center.
Seeing Yamaguchi Satoshi rushing over, Qiu Ze did not panic. Although Qiu Ze was young enough, he had rich experience, so Qiu Ze was not affected at all.
Seeing Yamaguchi Satoshi rushing to his side, Qiu Ze's feet quickly crossed the ball back and forth. Qiu Ze's feet quickly crossed the ball like a bicycle. Qiu Ze's
His body swayed from side to side rapidly, as if he was ready to break through at any time.
Yamaguchi, who rushed up quickly, saw Qiu Ze's action. He quickly stopped the car, otherwise, he would have hit Qiu Ze straight away. A foul at the front of the penalty area is very dangerous, especially for Liverpool.
There are many free kick masters in the team, and Yamaguchi Satoshi will not give Liverpool a free kick opportunity so easily.
However, at the moment Yamaguchi Satoshi stopped, Qiu Ze on the bicycle quickly changed direction and passed by Yamaguchi Satoshi who had just stopped. It would be difficult for Yamaguchi Satoshi who had just stopped to speed up again, and Qiu Ze
This guy Ze is very fast, he has no chance at all.
As a last resort, Yamaguchi quickly stretched out his right hand to grab Qiu Ze's jersey. However, Qiu Ze's speed was so fast that he didn't grab anything at all, except the air.
After breaking through Yamaguchi Satoshi, Qiu Ze stepped into the penalty area and directly faced Gamba Osaka goalkeeper Fujitani Yosuke. Gamba Osaka's full-back Satota Nakazawa rushed over crazily and pounced on Qiu Ze who stepped into the penalty area. At this time
, Gamba Osaka goalkeeper Fujitani Yosuke was considering whether to attack at this time. Just when he was undecided, Qiu Ze, who had just stepped into the penalty area, suddenly volleyed.
All the Liverpool fans cheered wildly. They stretched their necks like ducks by their necks and stared intently at the stadium.
Boom! Qiu Ze's right leg hit the ball hard, and the ball pierced the sky like a bolt of lightning and flew straight to the back foot of the goal.
In front of the goal, Fujitani Yosuke made a crazy side dive. His action was very perfect and wonderful. However, he was still so pale and helpless in front of Qiu Ze's shot, and the ball flew past him quickly.
It passed by, hit the inside of the back post of the goal, and then bounced into the goal.
Three to zero! Just ten minutes into the second half, the Liverpool team seized the opportunity. Qiu Ze seized the opportunity and went one step further. Liverpool led by three goals. At this time, the overall situation was determined. The Liverpool fans at the scene were excited and laughed loudly.
.
The fans of Gamba Osaka are very angry, very angry. Now they are three goals behind. What the hell are the players of Gamba Osaka going to do?
At this time, Rafael Benitez immediately made substitution adjustments. At this time, he was going to replace Qiu Ze and others. The players of Gamba Osaka could no longer control themselves during the game.
Emotionally, Qiu Ze was almost injured by Satota Nakazawa's tackle just now. Now he doesn't want to take the risk.
Qiu Ze, Fernando Torres and Gerrard were replaced together. However, without these three people, Liverpool's offense did not stall. Robbie Keane, who was replaced, made a contribution after he came on the field.
In the fifth minute, he received a pass from Arshavin and scored, 4-0.
Then, ten minutes later, Robbie Keane successfully countered offside in the frontcourt, broke into Gamba Osaka's penalty area, passed Yosuke Fujitani, and sent the football into the empty goal, making it 5-0.
After leading by five goals, Liverpool became a little slack. Gamba Osaka seized the opportunity and through a concise and quick counterattack, Japanese forward Ryuji Bodo scored a face-saving goal. In the end, Liverpool won the match at the Yokohama International Sports Arena in Yokohama, Japan.
They defeated the host Gamba Osaka 5-1 and advanced to the finals of this World Club Cup.
