Chapter 892 Club World Cup
The capital of Morocco is Rabat, which borders the Atlantic Ocean and has many natural beaches. It is a good place for tourism and summer vacation.
Unlike going to other cities in the past, this time in Rabat, everyone is playing away games, and even has a natural advantage for European players, because Europe is the center of football. In terms of the gold content of the championship and the familiarity of the round, Europe is naturally the most. Therefore, as the European champion, Atletico Madrid itself has a natural sense of superiority.
This fact is also reflected in the fact that when Atletico Madrid arrived in Rabat, when Atletico Madrid walked out of the airport, the fans surrounded outside were three times that of the other teams in front.
It is said that the team representing Asia in the Club World Cup last year was Hengda. It is a pity that last season Lin Dong had transferred from Real Madrid to Madrid. This season, representing Asia was the Western Sydney Wanderers. Lin Dong missed the opportunity to face the club of his home country.
The time difference between Morocco and Spain is only one hour, just like China and South Korea, so for Atletico Madrid, this is also an advantage, and Atletico Madrid does not need to adjust the time difference.
The Club World Cup is very famous, and FIFA is full of ambitions, but unfortunately, the Club World Cup is too restrictive, even if FIFA has ambitions, it is useless.
Atletico Madrid did not train on the first day. After arriving at the hotel, Simeone gave the Atletico Madrid players free time to rest. Of course, this freedom is limited to the hotel.
On the second day, I went to the training ground under the leadership of Simeone, but Atletico Madrid only did some recovery training, because the league is in progress, so Atletico Madrid players do not need too much training.
Although the semi-finals will be ushered in on the third day, the champion teams in Europe and South America can directly enter the semi-finals, which is actually considered a kind of preferential treatment.
And Atletico Madrid's opponent has already been decided. It is the Blue Cross from Central and North America, a Mexican team, and the stadium of the game is the Prince Abdullah Stadium in Rabat.
However, on the third day, Atletico Madrid and Blue Cross had to change venues. Because of the rain, the Prince Abdullah Stadium became quite bad.
This is simply a disaster for the fans, so there are not many fans in the stands of this game. Well, it is actually pitiful. A stadium that can accommodate more than 4 people only scored more than 1 fans in the end.
Of course, this does not affect the performance of players from both sides on the court, especially Atletico Madrid. You must know that Atletico Madrid came here with the goal of winning the championship. Atletico Madrid wants to achieve the great cause of six crowns.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid's starting lineup for this game is the league's regular starters, with all the main players. As for the Blue Cross, they will naturally not hide it. Their strength is not as good as Atletico Madrid.
This is also well proved on the court. From the first minute of the game, Atletico Madrid firmly controlled the initiative. In the second minute of the opening, Atletico Madrid ushered in the first shot.
The cross from Juanfran was added to the side. Juanfran inserted under the cover of Cork and completed the cross. Lin Dong jumped high in the penalty area and slammed the goal with a header.
Three minutes later, Atletico Madrid made a comeback, this time it was Griezmann, Cork made a direct pass in the hinterland of the Blue Cross, Griezmann broke into the penalty area after taking the ball and pushed the shot away from the goal.
In the 9th minute, Blue Cross completed the first shot of the game. Bernardo wanted to go through and was cleared by Atletico Madrid, but then the ball came back to the foot of Blue Cross, crossed from the side, and Pavone grabbed a point in the small penalty area and shot high.
Then Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock on the field, Atletico Madrid's wave of offense, Griezmann retreated to respond and was brought down, Atletico Madrid got an indirect free kick.
Godin and Miranda rushed into the Blue Cross penalty area one after another, and the goal was eventually topped by the Atletico Madrid central defender. The Blue Cross goalkeeper made a mistake and failed to touch the ball. In the end, the ball landed on Godin's header. Facing an empty goal, what Godin needed to do was very simple.
"Godin~~~Atletico Madrid's first goal in the Club World Cup was scored by central defender Godin. A header kicked the goal and Atletico Madrid led 1:0."
This is the first time Atletico Madrid has participated in the Club World Cup, so Godin's goal is also very meaningful. It is Atletico Madrid's first goal in the history of the Club World Cup.
For a central defender, goals are rare and precious. Even if Godin can coax so many goals every season, let alone this is such a commemorative goal.
"Dude~~~You want to treat us to dinner when you go back." In fact, everyone at Atletico Madrid was staring at this goal, even Lin Dong was no exception, but it was Godin who scored in the end.
"No problem." Godin naturally would not refuse.
On the court, Atletico Madrid's celebration did not last too long. After all, Atletico Madrid's goal is the championship.
The Blue Cross' counterattack did not pose any threat to Atletico Madrid. Not to mention the gap in strength between the two teams, the confidence of the players of the two teams is also completely different. Atletico Madrid's goal is the championship.
So after the start of the game, the Blue Cross counterattack was resolved by Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid's offense frequently created crises, and the advantage expanded to two goals in 28 minutes.
This time it was finally Lin Dong's turn. Although he failed to score Atletico Madrid's first goal in the Club World Cup, Lin Dong didn't want to concede the second goal. Lin Dong even set his sights on the top scorer in the Club World Cup.
It was still Juanfran's cross. After Felipe left Atletico Madrid, Siqueira could not be reused. Ansaldi's performance was quite satisfactory, and Juanfran became the target of Atletico Madrid's side attack.
And Juanfran also has this strength. Before playing as a fullback, Juanfran can play as a fullback or even a winger, and his offensive ability is not at all worse than Felipe.
After receiving the pass, Juanfran faced the defensive player and used a fake change of direction to tease the opponent, and then made a half-air pass from the bottom line.
At the penalty spot, Lin Dong resisted the defender, turned his body sideways, raised his right foot, and faced the flying ball, his right foot accurately swept the expression of the ball.
"2:0~~~ Atlético Madrid scored their second goal in the Club World Cup with a volley. Juanfran's pass was very precise, and Lin Dong's shot was even more wonderful."
"Leading by two goals, the game lost suspense. The lead of two goals is enough for Atletico Madrid to enter the next round. The strength of the Champions League champion is obviously higher than that."
There is indeed no suspense, because Atletico Madrid, who are leading by two goals, played more and more calmly, and even scored another goal before halftime, and won the game steadily.
In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated their opponents 4:0, Griezmann scored the third goal, Koke added the icing on the cake in the second half, and Atletico Madrid successfully entered the final.
