Chapter 78 Champions, and Bigger Dreams
In any case, Guangzhou Evergrande's surprise elimination of Bayern Munich is definitely big news.
As the champion of the Champions League, he was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, and Bayern can be regarded as creating the worst result of the Champions League winner in the Club World Cup.
The Bayern Munich team returned to Germany the same day after the game. After getting off the plane, Guardiola didn't say a word in the face of the media's siege.
The relationship between him and the German media was not very good at first, and now he "lost" the Club World Cup champion, which was originally a sure thing. The pressure of German public opinion on him can be imagined.
For Guangzhou Evergrande, they will prepare for the Club World Cup final in Morocco.The final time is at nineteen o'clock in the evening on December 21, local time in Morocco.
Their opponents in the final will be produced between the Copa Libertadores champions and hosts Casablanca.The game between these two teams will be played on December [-]th.
In this way, Guangzhou Evergrande still has a slight advantage in the final schedule, and they will get one more day of rest than their opponents.
After experiencing a brutal battle with Bayern Munich, Lippi gave the team a day off on the [-]th.
In Adigarh, a coastal city on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the players of Guangzhou Evergrande went to the beach to play together for a day, and then rushed back to the hotel in the evening, preparing to watch the next round of their potential opponents.
However, the result of the game was far beyond everyone's expectations.
The host Casabrac defeated the South American champion Atletico Mineiro 3-1 cleanly!
The players of Guangzhou Evergrande who were informed of such a result looked at each other in blank dismay, which was really unexpected.But this is not a bad thing for Guangzhou Evergrande.After all, in terms of strength, there is still a considerable difference in strength between the little-known Casablanca and the South American powerhouse Mineiro.
In this way, maybe this Club World Cup champion can really settle on an Asian team for the first time?
Of course, this is also the first time in the history of the Club World Cup that there is no European champion and no South American champion at the same time.
After this game, some media have begun to say that this Club World Cup final is the coldest final in history.
Unpopular VS Unpopular, Dark Horse VS Dark Horse
These two teams, no matter who wins the championship, will create the history of the Club World Cup-the champion of the Club World Cup has gone out of South America and Europe for the first time.
Judging from the odds offered by the gaming companies, it is generally optimistic that the Asian champion Guangzhou Evergrande will defeat the host team to win the Club World Cup.
After all, judging from the strength of both sides, although Guangzhou Evergrande's main scorer Li Qingshan was suspended due to a red card and was absent, their team has three South American foreign players and a South Korean international plus half of the Chinese national team, while Casablanca has only One foreign aid from Spain, and all the rest are local players, but there are only three Morocco internationals in their team.
The strength of the Moroccan national team is about equal to that of the Chinese national team. One ranks 82nd in the world and the other ranks 88th. The Chinese national team is even higher.
Therefore, in terms of strength, the outside world generally believes that Guangzhou Evergrande has the upper hand.
.......
Morocco local time on December 21 at eight o'clock in the evening.The Club World Cup final is being played at the Adigarh Stadium.
Li Qingshan sat in the stands wearing a set of casual clothes. At this moment, he frowned, looking at the situation on the field with some concern.
"The game has been going on for 10 minutes, and the score is now 0-1. Guangzhou Evergrande is behind Casablanca." Duan Xuan is not very emotional now.
"Judging from the current situation, Guangzhou Evergrande does not have much advantage against Casablanca." Duan Xuan said worriedly, "Lipi must think of a way."
Guangzhou Evergrande, generally favored before the game, fell behind in the 10th minute of the game, and Casablanca scored a goal through a quick counterattack.
After falling behind, Guangzhou Evergrande pressed hard, but did not create many absolute scoring opportunities.Without Li Qingshan, the high point of the frontcourt, Guangzhou Evergrande's offense seems to have lost its direction.
At least in the first half, except for a few long-range shots that threatened the opponent's goal, they didn't get any chances in the penalty area.
Lippi stood on the sidelines frowning, the impact of losing Li Qingshan was greater than he expected.In this match, Gao Lin took the place of Li Qingshan and took the lead.
Gao Lin, who replaced Li Qingshan as a center forward, has no way to play the same effect as Li Qingshan, and Guangzhou Evergrande's offense this season relies heavily on the tactical role of the center forward.
His style is completely different from Li Qingshan's. He couldn't control the high points in the frontcourt, and his passing on the ground was strictly restricted by Casablanca.
Guangzhou Evergrande can have an advantage in the midfield, but after losing Li Qingshan's lethality in the penalty area, it is like a spear losing its spearhead and becoming a stick.
The first half of the game passed quickly, and Guangzhou Evergrande entered the locker room with a score behind by one goal.
If there is anything to be thankful for, it is that Guangzhou Evergrande conceded only one goal in the first half.Casablanca's counterattack was quite resolute and fast. They had had several opportunities to counterattack in the first half. If it wasn't for Zeng Cheng's performance, it is estimated that Guangzhou Evergrande would lose more goals now.
After returning from the second half, Lippi made adjustments, Zhao Xuri replaced Gao Lin, and then pushed Elkeson to the center position.
Such an attempt soon paid off.
In the 6th minute of the game, Conca went straight to Muriqi, and Muriqi swept the goal after successfully countering offside. Elkeson succeeded in grabbing a point in front of the goal, one to one!Guangzhou Evergrande equalized the score.
Encouraged by this goal, Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive became more and more fierce.In the No. 60 minute of the game, Conca once again opened Casablanca's goal with a cold shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Two to one!
Guangzhou Evergrande overtook the score.
In the end, the score was maintained until the end of the game. With the goals of two foreign players, Guangzhou Evergrande won the Club World Cup championship trophy in a historic way!
Although Guangzhou Evergrande encountered a little trouble in the first half of this game, thanks to Lippi's adjustments, they quickly stabilized the situation and scored two goals relying on the ability of foreign aid forwards!
Elkeson's goal is crucial, he stabilized the Guangzhou Evergrande team.This also allowed Lippi to see the candidate for a new attacker after Li Qingshan left.
After the game, the camera pointed at Li Qingshan who was jumping down from the stands to celebrate the victory and the championship with the team.
There is no doubt that this is the biggest contributor to Guangzhou Evergrande's Club World Cup victory.Especially when he faced Bayern Munich's big four in the semi-finals, he almost eliminated the European champions with his performance alone.
"Nice job!!"
Li Qingshan hugged his teammates one by one.
This is his last game at Guangzhou Evergrande.Tomorrow, he will take a plane to Manchester to discuss his future with Manchester United.
He became the most popular.The players from Guangzhou Evergrande surrounded him one by one and hugged him.Everyone knows that Li Qingshan definitely contributed the most to Guangzhou Evergrande's success this season and is the most indispensable key player.Without him, maybe the AFC Champions League would not be so smooth, maybe the FA Cup would also be eliminated by the Guizhou native, let alone get past Bayern in the Club World Cup.
Regardless of whether he can stay at Manchester United and play under Moyes, it is impossible for him to stay in Guangzhou next season.Such an excellent player deserves a bigger stage!
Even after the wonderful performance of this season, the three foreign players in the Guangzhou Evergrande team, except for the age factor, have received offers from Europe, but their contracts are in Guangzhou Evergrande, and Evergrande The group also doesn't expect to sell people to make money, so they basically have no possibility of transferring and leaving.
However, many foreign players who come to the Chinese Super League come for high salaries and money.
In fact, after the semifinals, the general manager of Guangzhou Evergrande flew to Morocco to discuss with Li Qingshan in person. If Li Qingshan was willing to stay in Guangzhou Evergrande, Evergrande Group was even willing to offer the highest salary in football.
But Li Qingshan refused Guangzhou Evergrande's offer to stay after he wavered for a moment.Such a high salary does make him tempted, but staying in the Super League will not benefit him much in improving his strength.Moreover, he still has his football dream.
He is full of ambitious dreams.
However, the stage of the Chinese Super League is too small to accommodate big dreams.
The Super League part is over, the rhythm of this volume is not well grasped, and more than 70 chapters have been written in one go
The third volume is to return to play in Europe. Will Moyes keep Li Qingshan in his team?Let's wait and see ^_^
