    Liverpool had a day of rest in Tokyo and rushed to Yokohama early the next morning to prepare for the Club World Cup semi-final against Urawa Red Diamonds.  At 11:30 a.m., under the arrangement of FIFA representatives, Liverpool held its first Club World Cup press conference after arriving in Japan at the Yokohama Royal Garden Hotel.  Coach Benitez, captain Gerrard, forward Chen Yu and defender Carragher attended the press conference.  Benitez spoke first: "This is our second time coming to Japan. This is an extraordinary thing. Yesterday we said on the plane that there are so many excellent clubs in Europe, but only one can come to Japan. We are honored to be able to come to Japan."  Represent Europe. Everyone in Milan knows that the Club World Cup is our number one goal this season, and we will do our best to win the championship." Captain Gerrard then took the microphone and said, "The outside world has very high expectations for us.  The precise goal: to regain the championship we lost in 2005. The teams participating in this event are from all continents and it will not be easy to win, but we are convinced that we have the strength to achieve the best results." Carragher then spoke.  Said: "We arrived in Japan early and prepared well, but winning the championship is not easy. We must be prepared for a tough battle. The Japanese team is very mysterious and Boca is very powerful." Finally, the host addressed the reporters and TV sets on the scene.  The fans solemnly introduced Chen Yu, "Now I would like to invite Chen Yu to speak. He is the newly minted Ballon d'Or winner and the biggest favorite for World Footballer. He is the first professional player in Asia to win the Ballon d'Or. He is the leader of Asian football.  Pride is also the benchmark for all Asian players to catch up and learn from. "Faced with the Japanese host's praise, Chen Yu was indifferent and took the microphone and said: "The Club World Cup championship is the dream of any player. The team missed the championship last time.  Opportunity. Last time I was unable to participate due to injury. God has given us another opportunity. This time we must seize it. Although our goal is to win the championship, we should not only focus on the finals and Boca Juniors.  , The opponents in the semi-finals are not easy to deal with. Urawa Red Diamonds have the advantage of home court and are waiting for work. Moreover, they will definitely fight us to the death. If we are too careless, maybe we will capsize. " Finally, the reporter asked, as  The newly promoted Mr. Ballon d'Or and Asian player, Chen Yu is naturally the focus of reporters' attention. He also steals the limelight from his teammates and coaches. H. Questions are almost all directed at him alone. Benitez, Gerrard  and Carragher were asked only once each and dealt with the situation.  "Chen Yu, how was your trip?" a reporter asked.  Chen Yudao: Everything went well. We talked and laughed for the first few hours on the plane, and then we didn¡¯t talk much. Most of the players chose to sleep.  ¡°Have you ever felt the torture of jet lag?¡± the reporter asked next.  Chen Yu smiled and said: It's really nothing. I'm used to the time difference. I often go back to China, and China is very close to Japan. It's just that in that case, the time has to be set back.  The important thing is that your whole body gradually adjusts to the jet lag.  Now, we are told when to eat and when to sleep.  " "You won Asia's first Golden Globe Award. How do you feel?  Another Chinese reporter asked next. Chen Yu smiled and said: "Of course it's good. There is nothing better than winning an award, especially the best award in the world."  " A Japanese reporter asked: "Do you think any other players in Asia will win the Ballon d'Or?  Which country will the player be?  " Chen Yu shrugged and said: "There will definitely be one, and I hope there will be. As for which country it will appear in, it's hard to say, but it will take a little luck and time.  " An Italian reporter then asked: "What do you think of the move to Liverpool last year?  Is this the right choice?  " Chen Yu smiled and said: "When you see me coming here to participate in the Club World Cup, it shows that this is the right choice. However, Florence is also a great club, and I still miss it there.  " Japanese reporters are the largest group here. After the Italian reporter asked, another Japanese reporter asked: "What do you think of Urawa Red Diamonds? Do you know them?  Do you think they have a chance against Liverpool?  " Chen Yu said: "We already have a certain understanding of all the teams. We also watched the first game of the Club World Cup of Urawa Red Diamonds. They have experience, and their personal skills and tactical qualities are also good. However, the Japanese football team  The team's biggest advantage is the host country. If we can take advantage of this, we will not be very good at playing.  " "Boca Juniors should be your biggest opponent. Previously, the Club World Cup was won by American teams. Do you have the confidence to defeat Boca Juniors this time?  " Chen Yu said: "I'm not sure, but I have a lot of confidence.  The American team is special and they don't have many chances to play against us, but I think we can still beat them.  " At this time, a Japanese reporterHe asked in a provocative tone: "You announced your return to the Chinese team some time ago. Do you think you can lead the Chinese team to defeat Japan?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "I haven't thought about this problem. I don't think it is possible to qualify in Asia.  What¡¯s the question? My goal is the World Cup. If I only want to play in Asian games, I won¡¯t return at such an old age.¡± Chen Yu¡¯s words drew enthusiastic cheers from the Chinese reporters, while the Japanese reporter who asked the question had a burning face.  After the press conference, in order to better adapt to the time difference, the team members finished lunch and took a short rest in the hotel before heading to the training ground of the J-League team Yokohama Marinos Sports Center for recovery training.  Liverpool's training session also attracted almost two thousand fans, half of whom were Chinese fans. It can be seen from the banners and small flags they held high that the Japanese fans held banners saying "Welcome Liverpool" and Urawa red.  Diamond's team flag, while Chinese fans held a "Chen Yu" banner and a five-star red flag.  Coach Benitez divided the team into two groups: the first group of players, headed by Riise, Pennant, Chen Yu, Kuyt, Wolenin, and Kewell, conducted a series of shooting exercises;  Other players led by Gerrard, Alonso and Crouch conducted acceleration running and obstacle course training.  ?The two groups then had two more group matches of about ten minutes. However, because they had just arrived in Yokohama, the players did not try their best and only had a gentle confrontation. However, the wonderful cooperation and goals also made the fans continue to cheer.  Chen Yu once again scored a hat trick in the training match, which greatly satisfied the star-chasing desire of Asian fans who came to watch.  The training lasted for almost an hour and a half. This time, the Liverpool superstars did not accept interviews from reporters or interact with fans. They went directly back to the hotel to rest.  In the annual Club World Cup, participating teams are chasing more than just trophies. In fact, for South American clubs with limited income like Boca, the generous bonuses of the Club World Cup are their biggest motivation to participate.  FIFA has set a total bonus of US$16 million for this year's Club World Cup, which is US$1 million more than last year.  The championship team will receive $5 million, the runner-up will receive $4 million, the third place will receive $2.5 million, the fourth place will receive $2 million, the two fifth-place teams will each receive $1 million, and the seventh-place team will receive $50.  Ten thousand U.S. dollars.  For South American teams, in addition to generous bonuses, promoting their players is also an important goal.  The Club World Cup is also a draft in a sense.  As early as the Toyota Cup era, Tokyo was a good springboard for football. Club officials, carrying heavy bags of money and contracts, spent a lot of money to acquire football talents from South America to Europe.  High wages and income have unlimited temptations for South American stars who grew up in slums, and those players who perform outstandingly in the game can often use this springboard to jump from South America to Europe.  As a result, the original confrontational relationship between European and South American football gradually turned into a relationship of employment and employment. Although the Toyota Cup was changed to the Club World Cup, the number of participating teams also increased, and the championship title became more dazzling.  But the nature of this event as a "talent market" has not changed.  Boca players are the most attractive to scouts among all participating players, and after this Club World Cup, many Boca players will bid farewell to the club and move to a higher level.  Currently, Boca's midfielder Banega and forward Palacio are the most favored by European clubs.  Italian media reported that Banega is now being competed by the three giants: Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, while Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid is also chasing the team, and English media believe that if Palacio has any chance in the game,  With his outstanding performance, Liverpool may also take him under his wing.  ??Among them, China Milan has the strongest desire, because Inter Milan boss Moratti has an extraordinary love for Argentine players.  As early as during the World Youth Championship in Canada, Inter Milan sent people to follow and observe Banega. It is reported that Inter Milan's first offer of 10 million euros has been sent to Boca. Moratti believes that Banega is simply the equal of Gattuso and Gattuso.  Pirlo is a hybrid, an all-round player with great potential who can play as both a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder.  There are many clubs that are interested in Palacio. Barcelona has been paying attention to him. Now, Lyon Club is also interested in the braided forward and is ready to bid 15 million euros.  In addition, two defenders Krupoviesa and Maidana have also been spotted by Marseille and Lazio clubs respectively, while players such as Cardoso and Vargas may also leave after the Club World Cup.  It is worth mentioning that the 34-year-old veteran Palermo is also very popular. Boca No. 9 has now received an invitation from the Colombian Mariners of the Major League. If he joins, he will team up with his former Boca striker partner Xie Luo.  Please meet again.  With so many clubs paying attention, Argentina¡¯s Boca Juniors¡¯ desire for the championship is undoubtedly stronger than Liverpool¡¯s.?Argentinian Boca Juniors president Luis is preparing for the Club World Cup in Tokyo.  Busio said that they are ready for everything and believe they can defeat all opponents. Even without Riquelme, they can still win the championship in their first Club World Cup.  A few days ago, FIFA ruled that because he had just transferred from La Liga Villarreal to Boca Juniors and had missed the registration deadline for the Club World Cup, Riquelme could not represent Boca.  Club World Cup match.  This is undoubtedly a big blow to Boca Juniors.  After all, the 29-year-old Riquelme has been the core of the team's midfield before. He played for Boca Juniors from 1996 to 2002 and led the team to win 6 domestic league and international championships;  In the first half of this year, he was loaned back to Boca Juniors by Villarreal and led Boca to win the Copa Libertadores.  "I think it will be difficult to find an athlete who can fill Riquelme's position," Boca coach Russo said. "However, we still have a lot of good players. We are very happy to participate in the Club World Cup for this day.  , We have been waiting for a long time, and we hope to add a brilliant moment to our country's long football history." Riquelme's old comrade Martin Palermo also said, "Roman's absence is very unfortunate and frustrating.  It's heartbreaking. Because he is our old comrade. I believe that when he can't compete, we must find a strategy to replace him and win the Club World Cup. This is the best thing for him.  Good consolation. "According to the Club World Cup schedule, Boca Juniors will directly advance to the semi-finals, and their opponent will be **** Sahel Stars; Liverpool will also directly advance to the semi-finals, and their opponent will be Urawa Red Diamonds.  , if nothing else happens, the two teams will meet in the finals in Yokohama, Japan on the 16th.  For Boca Juniors, if they want to win without Riquelme, the first problem is how to mark Chen Yu.  In this regard, midfielder Sebastian Battaglia said: "I know Chen Yu is a formidable player, but we also have many good players. Under the care of our defensive players, he  It is never possible to get a little freedom. If Chen Yu wants to break through and score, we will definitely be able to stop him. Our defense can deal with any good attacker." And forward Palermo said that he was "gearing up" and he wanted to review it.  The glory of the Toyota Cup in 2000, when he scored two goals to help Boca beat Real Madrid to win the championship. "In the Club World Cup, if I can score again, it will be great. Beating Real Madrid 7 years ago, against  For me, it is a special moment that I will never forget. Now, Liverpool is as strong as Real Madrid back then. Liverpool's Chen Yu is the best striker in the world, but I hope to compete with him.  Let¡¯s see who scores more goals.¡± Head coach Russo said: ¡°The players are eager to compete with Liverpool, but the first thing now is to defeat the Sahel Stars in the semi-finals.  , I have studied various information about this team. We must be careful. They have many excellent offensive players. We must find ways to stop them, then control the ball, use our offensive power, and use our strengths and avoid weaknesses.  Win the game. " Faced with the provocation of Boca Juniors, the Liverpool players appeared more calm and confident. Except for the stupid young men like Pennant and Babel who came out and said that Chen Yu could defeat Boca as a forward, the others simply couldn't do it.  They don't bother to argue with Boca Juniors players. The current Liverpool players are busy in Japan filming commercials and participating in various parties, banquets and commemorative events. How can they be in the mood to have a verbal spat with Boca Juniors, which they don't take seriously.
