    Originally, Liverpool still attached great importance to this Club World Cup. They came to Japan two days in advance, but because Boca Youth's core ace Riquelme was unable to play, this made the Liverpool players feel relaxed. Although he played every day  They are adjusting to the jet lag, adapting to the climate, and training to prepare for war, but in fact their time is more divided up by businesses.  Liverpool, which has many big-name players, as well as the new Mr. Golden Ball, is worshiped by fans here. The time they spend every day filming advertisements, meeting fan organizations, signing autographs for fans, taking photos, and accepting gifts has exceeded training time.  Except for Chen Yu, other Red Army players are very curious about the mysterious Eastern civilization, and even head coach Benitez wants to know more about it.  During these two days, Liverpool players collectively watched the K-1 fighting competition, which combines boxing, Muay Thai, taekwondo, Sanshou, and Tai Chi movements. Some people even went to nightclubs at night.  In comparison, the coach's cultural taste is more profound. Benitez and the coaching staff visited Sankei Garden, a famous Japanese garden in Yokohama, and even went for a physical examination at the authentic tea ceremony - it looked more like an "old man's sightseeing"  group".  As a Golden Globe winner, Chen Yu also has countless fans in Japan. After he came to Japan, countless businesses hoped to cooperate with Chen Yu and let Chen Yu be their advertising spokesperson, but they were all rejected by Chen Yu.  Yu refused. Chen Yu¡¯s external reason was that he wanted to prepare for the Club World Cup with peace of mind. He must win the Club World Cup. In the club, he lacked this championship. In fact, Chen Yu did not want to endorse Japanese companies.  Even Zhang Shubin didn't understand this, because the endorsement fees offered by Japanese merchants were higher than those from European and American merchants, but because of Chen Yu's insistence, Zhang Shubin could only do what Chen Yu wanted.  Although Chen Yu did not make money from advertising in Japan like Gerrard, Alonso and others, he also earned a lot of money. His signed jerseys sold almost three million pieces during his stay in Japan. If Liverpool can win the championship  If so, Chen Yu's jerseys will still sell like hotcakes, so Chen Yu gets a 15% commission on jersey sales, so Chen Yu's income is no less than one million euros. In addition, Liverpool has received many commercial advertisements in Japan.  , Chen Yu has royalties from his image rights, and his income from this item is also quite large.  Liverpool are obviously a little too relaxed. They say that Urawa Red Diamonds are very strong, but in fact they don't take Urawa Red Diamonds to heart at all. Even if Boca Juniors defeated African champion Sahel with a difficult 1 goal the day before,  The Stars did not arouse Liverpool's alarm. They believed that this was due to the decline in strength of Boca Juniors without Riquelme, and did not think that it was the improvement of the underdog's level.  This kind of mentality will definitely affect Liverpool's combat effectiveness. Liverpool's coaching staff is very clear about this, but they only gave a few gentle warnings to let the players pay attention to the game and not underestimate their opponents, but this will not work at all.  To wake up the Liverpool players, the Liverpool coaching staff also believed that they could beat Urawa Red Diamonds even if they played one-third of their level. It would not be too late to become nervous after reaching the final, so they did not pay too much attention to this kind of thing.  Phenomenon.  Although Urawa Red Diamonds do not dare to expect that they can overturn Liverpool and reach the final, this does not mean that Urawa Red Diamonds do not attach importance to this game. In fact, Urawa Red Diamonds attaches great importance to this game and is second only to Boca Juniors.  .  Urawa Red Diamonds attaches great importance to the game with Liverpool. In addition to proving the strength of Japanese football and J-League to the world, there is another very important reason. Since Chen Yu returns to the Chinese team, the Chinese team will definitely become an important opponent of the Japanese team in the future. Japan  The Football Association hopes to see Chen Yu's strength through this game and see if the Japanese defender can guard Chen Yu.  Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" mentioned this, hoping that the players of Urawa Red Diamonds can give Chen Yu a taste of the pain and let him know that Asian games are not easy to play.  The Chinese media are also hyping up the match between Liverpool and Urawa Red Diamonds. In the eyes of the Chinese media, this match is the first head-to-head confrontation between *********'s core forward and the Japanese defender. If Chen  If Yu can abuse the Japanese defender in the game, the Chinese team can basically compete with all the strong teams in Asia. If there is a team like Liverpool as a bonus, Chen Yu still cannot easily score goals, and Chen Yu will not return to the Chinese team.  I dare say we can easily qualify in Asia.  On the day of the game, the Yokohama International Arena, which can accommodate 73,000 people, was almost full. Half of them supported Liverpool, nearly half supported Urawa Reds, and a very small number were neutral fans who just came to watch the fun.  of.  Before the start of the game, the two sides shook hands in a friendly manner. The Japanese players nodded while shaking hands, looking humble and meek and asking for advice. Osijek and Benitez on the sidelines even said they could learn from Liverpool when shaking hands.  , but after the game started, the Liverpool players discovered that Urawa Red Diamonds played very tough and aggressive. Almost every player was running hard. It seemed that the game was not 90 minutes but 45 minutes.Like a clock.  Liverpool were ill-prepared for this and were made mistakes by Urawa Red Diamonds. Fortunately, Liverpool's two central defenders Carragher and Agger performed relatively well. They were very confident in facing Urawa Red Diamonds' forwards and resolved Urawa Red Diamonds' two mistakes.  Counterattack in the frontcourt.  The fans in the stands originally thought that the opening would be a one-sided situation. Urawa Red Diamonds would definitely be suppressed and defended in the half. They never expected that Liverpool would be beaten by Urawa Red Diamonds. After ten minutes of the game, Liverpool even had a shot.  There was no chance. Chen Yu, Kuyt and Crouch were running in front, but they could not get the support of their teammates behind them. Occasionally, Urawa Red Diamonds fouled the ball when they got the ball.  The Japanese commentator at the scene was very excited and said excitedly: "Urawa Red Diamonds played so beautifully. They were actually playing against Liverpool, which has many superstars. Mr. Golden Ball Chen Yu was helpless against Urawa Red Diamonds' defense.  This is really exciting. If Urawa can defend Chen Yu for 90 minutes, then we dare to say that even if Chen Yu returns, the Chinese team will not be afraid. "The Chinese commentator Duan Xuan on the sidelines was a little anxious, "Chen Yu.  In these ten minutes, basically no ball was touched. What happened to Liverpool's midfield and backfield? Could it be that they couldn't control the situation against the Japanese players? These ten minutes really make people wonder how they won the double championship. Liverpool must  Change, it would be a joke if the European double champions could not reach the Club World Cup final. "Liverpool was stunned by Urawa Red Diamonds. They did not pay attention to this Japanese team before the game, and they were absent-minded when studying them. After the game started.  I never expected that this weak Asian team would be so bold and try to overpower Liverpool. With these factors combined, it would be strange for Liverpool not to be stunned.  But Liverpool is Liverpool after all. The double championship was not won by luck. They were initially careless and underestimated the enemy and were given the upper hand by Urawa Red Diamonds. But Liverpool soon calmed down. After Chen Yu and Gerrard  Under the leadership of the Red Diamonds, they launched a fierce counterattack against Urawa Red Diamonds.  Chen Yu began to lack the support of his teammates. He himself also wanted to see how strong Urawa Red Diamonds were, so Chen Yu did not play well in the first ten minutes. After ten minutes, the team launched a counterattack, and Chen Yu immediately became active.  Up, his breakthrough and cutting inside became Liverpool's sharpest weapon.  In the 15th minute of the game, Chen Yu, who retreated from the wing to near his own penalty area, seized the opportunity. Under the pursuit and interception of three Urawa Red Diamonds, he successfully brought the ball from the backcourt to the Urawa Red Diamonds frontcourt.  .  When Chen Yu was dribbling the ball, he was observing the movements of his teammates. He saw that Kuyt was in a better position, and he had already attracted many Barcelona defenders. Chen Yu passed the ball decisively and directly passed the ball long.  Arranged in front of Kuyt.  Kuyt didn¡¯t expect that Chen Yu would actually pass the ball to him, because there was Crouch in the middle, but Kuyt didn¡¯t panic. He stopped the ball and crossed diagonally towards the penalty area.  Facing Asian teams, Kuyt¡¯s confidence is almost the same as Chen Yu¡¯s.  Just now, Chen Yu dribbled the ball past Soma Takahito, Hasebe Makoto and Abe Yuki, which put great pressure on Urawa Red Diamonds. Almost all their defenders rushed towards Chen Yu, and Kuyt was empty.  After Chen Yu passed the ball to Kuyt, the defender of Urawa Red Diamonds went to cover Kuyt.  When Kuyt waded the ball into the corner of the penalty area, Japanese defender Tanaka Tori arrived. Kuyt moved horizontally, trying to get rid of Tanaka Tori, but Tanaka Tori Wang is also a Japanese international, and he also knows Kuyt very well.  , seeing Kuyt cutting inside, he immediately fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle.  Tanaka¡¯s purpose was not to intercept Kuyt, nor to foul. His purpose was just to prevent Kuyt from shooting in the shortest possible time, so that Urawa Red Diamonds players would not be able to intercept.  Kuyt was ready to shoot after cutting inside, but Kuyt saw Tanaka's sliding shovel blocking the possibility of a ground ball. At this time, other Urawa Red Diamonds players were still quickly defending. Kuyt  Iter hit a curved ball into the far corner of the goal.  This shot was a tricky one, hitting the back corner. If goalkeeper Tsuzuki Ryuta couldn't intercept the ball in advance in the air, there would be an empty goal behind.  However, Kuyt is not a player with delicate skills like Chen Yu, Pennant, and Gerrard. He is a hard horse and a hard bridge. Actions such as curling the ball into the far corner are a bit high-end for Kuyt.  Without defense and interference, Kuyt was unable to shoot the ball within the goal frame.  Seeing the ball fly out of the baseline, the Japanese players breathed a sigh of relief, high-fived each other and encouraged each other.  The Japanese commentator at the scene also said: "Liverpool is indeed Liverpool. Even if they are suppressed by Urawa Red Diamonds, they can still create scoring opportunities. Chen Yu has to gradually enter the state now. Urawa's defenders must restrict him and continue to maintainThe defensive and offensive intensity in the front, otherwise once Liverpool gains momentum, it will be difficult to handle behind.  "
