The first semi-finals started were Pachuca from Central and North America and Liga University in South America. The showdown between these two champions ended with Liga University from South America. This situation was not beyond the expectations of fans. After all, although it was the Club World Cup, what fans wanted to watch was the showdown between European champions and South America champions, and 90% of the sponsors were willing to spend money on these two teams.

By looking at the schedule, you can know that champions in other states have to fight to the death and start from the qualifying match. However, European and South American teams have entered the semi-finals directly, but other teams cannot oppose such unfair things, because without these two teams, there is no need to play this game.

If the first semi-finals make fans look forward to it, then the second Real Madrid game directly triggered the climax of the entire cup.

The first semi-finals were 33,000 fans, while the number of fans in Real Madrid's game against Osaka's Flying Football directly exceeded 70,000. If the organizers were not for safety reasons, and the upper limit of Yokohama International Comprehensive Arena was only 73,000, breaking through 80,000 would not be a problem.

Although the Club World Cup is a duo of European champions and South American champions, European champions are the main reason to attract sponsors, especially this year, Real Madrid, which represents Europe, is known as the "best of the century".

Although only one Lord of the Rings is left in the seven superstars of the "Galaxy Battleship", the starry White Legion is still sung in the world football world. Later, the emergence of "Argentine Prince" Gago during the Galaxy Warship period made the starry Legion of the White Legion undiminished. As the leader of the four kings of football today, he alone can make the whole of Japan boil.

Although Osaka's flying football is at home, the cheering sounds of cheering on the entire court are half a dozen.

Amid the cheers of the fans of the audience, Raul led the Real Madrid stars to the court with the pink and cute caddies. The referee was Azindia from Mexico.

In this game, Schuster was signaled by the club's senior management, hoping that he would play beautifully. After all, every club in Asia is very coveted, and Real Madrid, known for its gorgeous offense, is full of advantages in pleasing fans. What's more, no one thinks that Osaka's flying foot can pose a threat to the White Army. Under the premise of winning, playing beautifully attracts more fans. It is even more important to deepen the club's influence in the Far East area.

So in this game, Schuster sent the combination with the strongest offensive ability at hand. The goalkeeper was Dudek, who was substituted, and the defense line Marcelo Cannavaro, Metzeld, and Ramos Pepe's injuries have not yet recovered. Cassi was resting on the round. After all, the final was three days later. To be safe, a full-bodied Saint Cassi still needed.

In addition to Diyala's defense, Guti and Van der Fate served as double midfielders, Gago once again served as forwards, and Raul and Higuain formed a luxurious three forwards.

The formation was almost the same as when they were against Barcelona, ​​and after seeing the starting list of Real Madrid, all the fans of the audience cheered. After all, compared with those hardcore fans, they were just attracted by the gorgeous attack.

After the kickoff, Real Madrid did not have any temptation and entered the rhythm that they were most familiar with. This kind of temptation only exists when both sides are afraid of it. Obviously, for Real Madrid, the opponent in front of them is not worth their efforts.

Although the national derby had just finished four days ago, Real Madrid players did not show any fatigue in this game. No one would feel tired when it comes to the relaxed job of cutting vegetables.

It can be seen that the players in Osaka Flying Football work very hard. Although the players on the court are their idols, they did not give up. Real Madrid's ball will be pressed everywhere after it reaches the opponent's half. Although European teams such as Real Madrid are not favored by European teams, it is a supreme honor for Japanese teams, especially fighting in the local area.

The cheering of "Gamba" that was everywhere in the stands allowed Osaka's flying players to exert their greatest abilities from the beginning. However, the gap between the strength between the two sides was huge. In the fifth minute, Gago received a diagonal pass from Guti and then slapped it, and almost broke through the opponent's goalkeeper, but the ball hit the post and bounced out.

This result naturally made Gago very dissatisfied. He touched his ponytail with a little depressed feeling. The ball just now felt very good. To be precise, Gago has been in very good shape recently. Many opportunities that are not opportunities can be converted into goals. This is also the biggest reason why Real Madrid can tightly bite Barcelona in the league.

For the opportunity like the one just now, he didn't know how many times he scored in the La Liga. But probably because he was not suitable for the environment. On this island in the Far East, his shooting boots seemed to have been forgotten in Spain.

In the tenth minute, after receiving a pass from Ramos from the right, Gago cut in and shot the goal again in the middle, drawing a strange arc with his left foot, but it fell out of the crossbar. After nearly two seasons of training, his left foot was no different from his right foot, and he could also be said to be able to control various arcs easily. However, at this time, his foot feels slightly cooled down.

The Osaka Flying Football players worked very hard to block the Real Madrid star's attack in the first twenty minutes of the first half. Although the goal looked crumbling, it was incredibly not allowed Real Madrid to score a goal.

However, their efforts only lasted for half an hour. In 30 minutes, Real Madrid's star made a continuous ball in the frontcourt and smoothly passed the ball. In the end, Raul, who received the ball, easily scored with a single shot against the goalkeeper.

After Raul scored the goal, he seemed to open the shackles on the Real Madrid stars' feet, and the second goal came easily. Gago's corner kick was accurately landed in front of the goal, and Ramos jumped high and smashed the ball into the goal in the future.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Gago's free kick was directly hit. Although the angle was very tricky, it was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper incredibly. However, the agile Higuain stabbed the ball into the goal with a supplementary shot. At the end of the first half, Real Madrid led by three goals with an absolute advantage. This result made most fans at the scene very happy.

When Gago and the others walked off the stadium, they received warm applause from the fans. Although they did not score, the fans saw the strength of Gago, the number one player in football today. In the first half, he could be said to be the only one who made the opponent's entire defense line messy, and the three goals were basically related to him. Raul's single shot was him as the last pass.

"You performed well in the first half. You can stop working hard in the second half. After scoring a goal, you can stop. After all, the opponent is the home team, so you have to save some face for them."

Schuster had already warmed up Sneider and Garcia on the bench during the half-time break, obviously preparing for the replacement of several main players in the second half to prepare for the final three days later.

South American teams are enough opponents to be valued by Real Madrid.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid obviously slowed down, after all, offense also requires effort. La Liga teams are best at delaying time with passing. Gago retreated slightly to the midfield in the second half. Since this season, he has begun to get closer to the goal. Mainly in the first half of the season, Guti and Sneider were injured, and there were not enough players to rely on in the frontcourt, Schuster had to push the all-round Gago up. Gago played as a midfielder and a full-back when he was in the Argentina national team, and his performance was pretty good, so he did not have any discomfort in the club and also played at a world-class level.

Although Guti and Sneider have returned, Robben is injured again. Schuster once again made a whim and pushed Gago to the forward position. When he was against Barcelona, ​​Gago scored twice and showed his offensive talent. The forward position has no problem with him.

Real Madrid started this season with a bad start, in addition to the serious injuries, other teams have more experience with Real Madrid's formation. Last season's White Legion was so dazzling that everyone can study how to defeat them.

With the advice of major experts, Real Madrid's life is a bit difficult. Today's football world is increasingly demanding single arrows with excellent personal abilities. All opponents have experience in dealing with Real Madrid's double striker configuration, especially after Fanny's injury was reimbursed for the entire season.

Although Higuain made up for Fanny's position in goals, he was much worse than the experienced King of the small penalty area, as a fulcrum, and his control of the ball and cooperation with others. This is also one of the reasons why his goal-scoring ability in later generations exceeded that of Benzema, but was pressed on the bench by the French.

Higuain is suitable to be a finisher, but if he wants to fully play his role, he must cooperate with the whole team and feed him the ball with the entire team. But this is impossible in Real Madrid, and the core of the team is Gago.

After the team was repeatedly blocked from mid-range teams, Shuster had to pay attention to changing the lineup. After all, no team can rely on a lineup to compete all over the world.

The Germans' peak career achievement was in Barcelona, ​​and they also had their own experience in the 4-3-3 lineup. According to his expectations, Fanny, Raul and Robben were the tridents in the frontcourt, and the midfield was matched by Gago, Diarra, Sneider or Guti.

Compared to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's strongest point is undoubtedly Gago. As the number one attacking midfielder in football today, Gago's range of activities on the court can cover the opponent's penalty area from his own penalty area. With his control in the midfield and three stars with excellent personal abilities in the frontcourt, Real Madrid can play 4-3-3.

However, Fanny's injury had to let Higuain take over. Robben was still playing and stopping this season, which made Schuster's idea not fully implemented yet.

4-3-3 The requirements for single arrows can be said to be very high. Higuain can do it, but it cannot be as comprehensive as Fanny.

"Or let Fair play center!"

Seeing Gago's all-round performance on the court, Shuster thought like this.
