Chapter 1456 Slaughter
The arrangement of the Club World Cup is like this.Because there are too many participating teams, it is impossible to play a direct game like the Toyota Cup, so there must be a qualifying match and a main match.

There are seven matches, a total of four match days, and the competition system is single elimination.Among them, the champions from the four continents of Asia, Africa, Oceania, and North America and the Caribbean will draw lots first, and fight each other to determine two winners to enter the semi-finals.The champions of Europe and South America will directly enter the semi-finals, where they will face off against the two previous winners, and the winning teams will meet in the final.

In fact, before Liverpool came to Japan, the Club World Cup had already started, because the places for the two semi-finals had to be determined first.

On the 2th, the first Club World Cup kicked off. The Oceania champion Auckland City played against the African champion Ai Ali. As a result, the African champion defeated the Oceania champion 0:[-] and won the semi-final ticket.

One day later, on the 1th, Al Sadd, the Asian champion from the United Arab Emirates, lost 2:[-] to Monterey, the champion of Mexico.

In this way, Ai Ali and Monterey became the two teams that won tickets to the semifinals.

They will play Boca Juniors and Liverpool in the semi-finals.

Although all the time, champion teams from other continents are the foil of South America and Europe.The final finals are basically between the South American champion and the European champion. It is just that the Toyota Cup, which determines the outcome, is stuffed with several other games, which only lengthens the schedule.

But this time, the two teams are unwilling to meet Liverpool in the semi-finals. If they meet Boca Juniors, they still hope to compete for the final spot, even if it is only a [-]% chance.

But when it comes to Liverpool, it's completely out of the question, not to mention one percent, not one tenth of one percent chance.

But that's what they said.

Depends on the lottery result.

In the end, the championship team from CONCACAF, Monterey had bad luck and was drawn with Liverpool.

Ai Ali played against Boca Juniors.

The semi-finals will start on the [-]th, and Liverpool will make their official debut.

※ ※ ※

There is one detail that can explain why the Liverpool players didn't take this game seriously, it felt like they were on a trip - Monterey was their opponent in the semi-finals, but the Liverpool players didn't know anything about this team, even I don't even know which country this team is from.Not to mention knowing the information of the opponent's players.

And Liverpool did not deliberately collect information about this team.The only information is the game video of Monterrey and Al Sadd.

Even Martin O'Neill couldn't call out the names of Monterey players, he could only use numbers to refer to them.It can be seen how much Liverpool attaches importance to this game... how low.

But there's nothing to blame for that either.After all, there are so many teams in the world, and it is impossible to require the giants to understand all teams and investigate all opponents. They don't have so much energy and manpower to spend, and they won't do so.

It's just a game. With their absolute strength, can't Liverpool still win?

Maybe we won't meet again in the future, so what do you do with so much research?
In the face of absolute strength, there is nothing to hide from any conspiracy.

Even Martin O'Neill has the same idea, and thinks there is no need to study it too thoroughly.When he watched Monterey's game video, he only had an impression of what kind of team it was and the state of their players.This is very general, and ordinary fans can understand this information after watching a game.

It can be seen from this that what is the attitude of the entire Liverpool team towards Monterey, and what is their attitude towards the Club World Cup.

Perhaps only Boca Juniors can cheer them up a little bit.

The European champions should have such arrogance, because the Europa League is the highest-level football league in the world, and the UEFA Champions League is the highest-level competition in Europe. In terms of level alone, it has surpassed the World Cup.The team that can stand out from the Champions League and win the championship is actually the best team in the world, and they should have such a mentality and performance.It would be too much to play a team whose name you have never heard of and still be trembling.

Martin O'Neill's cautiousness is also aimed at those European opponents. When dealing with teams that he doesn't even know, he should stick to me and stick to his own style of play, regardless of any opponent.

With 5 minutes left in the game, Martin O'Neill said to his players in the locker room: "Play at the level they have practiced, just play at the rhythm you are used to, and you can win. This game is over, guys."

He said it easily, and the expressions on the faces of Liverpool players were also very relaxed.

They smiled and chatted with each other, and walked onto the court. It didn't feel like they were here to participate in the Club World Cup, which symbolizes the highest level of world clubs, but more like tourists visiting the Tokyo National Stadium together.

※ ※ ※

After the Liverpool players came on the field, they didn't even remember who the players on the opposite side were.The number and face are also completely mismatched, it can be said that the two eyes are smeared.

But that's okay.It doesn't matter who or what team is standing opposite.

Because... when I am a member of the Red Army, I will die——!
From the very beginning of the game, Liverpool attacked Monterrey's goal.

At the beginning, Monterrey mustered up the courage to deal with Liverpool, thinking that we are not fighting for the final tickets, nor are we fighting for victory, we are fighting for our own dignity!

As a result, their dignity lasted only 5 minutes before disappearing without a trace.

Liverpool opened the scoring in the 5th minute. It was the team's number one star, ace striker, Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal for Liverpool!
He used his trademark header to smash the football into the goal over the heads of Monterey's goalkeeper and defender.

There were huge cheers from the stands of the Tokyo National Stadium—there was no Japanese team participating in this Club World Cup, and many Japanese fans simply became fans of Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong.

"Ahhh!" The Japanese commentator was also very excited. "Liverpool scored first! This is their favorite start and what they are best at! When they take the lead, they can easily play defensive counterattacks! This is the magic weapon for Liverpool to sweep Europe!"

However, Liverpool did not shrink and fight back after taking the lead, as the Japanese commentator said.

That's right, Liverpool will shrink their defense in most cases after leading, playing their favorite defensive counterattack.

But that is for those powerful opponents in Europe.

In the eyes of Martin O'Neill and Liverpool players, this Mexican team whose name has never been heard is obviously not included.

So after they scored, they continued to maintain a high-pressure situation and bombarded Monterey's defense indiscriminately.

For a while, there were repeated alarms in front of Monterey's door, and the wind was jittery.It is a place as big as the penalty area, which has been plowed over and over again by Liverpool's offensive.

The offensive was swift, the shots were many, and the strength occupied an overwhelming advantage. Naturally, the goals came one after another.

Liverpool led 4-0 in the first half.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice, Suarez and Gotze each scored a goal.

After the start of the second half, Martin O'Neal started to make substitutions.He really can't wait for a rule in the Club World Cup and the pre-season warm-up match that allows at least eleven players to be replaced.In this way, more players can get the chance to play, and more main players can rest.

It's a pity that this game is an official game, and only three players can be changed at most.

Replaced Sanchez with Adam Johnson, Inler with Lucas, and Skrtel with Agger.

The quota for three substitutions was all used up before No. 60 minutes.

According to everyone's understanding, using up the three substitutions early means that Liverpool will have to rest and adjust, and slow down the pace.The subsequent game officially entered garbage time.Liverpool must also prepare for the next final.The score of this game might not change too much.

But the development of the game did not develop as everyone thought.Although they were replaced early, Liverpool's offense did not slow down at all. They still played against Monterey in the second half.

In fact, playing this way does not consume energy, because they firmly control the football and lead Monterey by the nose. Of course, it is more tiring to be led by the nose.Liverpool can control the rhythm by themselves, go as fast as you want, and slow as you want. It is not me who is tired.

Chen Yingxiong scored twice again in the second half, and this game staged a big four.

In the end, Liverpool slaughtered Monterrey 7:0 in the semifinals and entered the final.

This game surprised many media.Of course they guessed that Liverpool would win comfortably.But they didn't expect that Liverpool would be so brutal. Facing a weak team, even though the opponent had no sense of resistance, they were still merciless. With seven goals, they completely blasted the opponent to the ground.

Is this showing off your strength?

Or is it a demonstration against Boca Juniors?Tell them that this championship belongs to Liverpool, and those who are sensible will surrender early and admit defeat, and you will be rewarded with a whole body!If you are ignorant and want to compete with our big red army, what Monterey will end up with!

This score surprised many media, but it won the support of many fans for Liverpool-the Japanese worship the strong, and Liverpool is undoubtedly a strong.

The next day everyone was discussing the match between Liverpool and Monterrey with great interest, talking about every goal of Liverpool, especially Chen Yingxiong's goal.As for poor Monterey, there was no sympathy for them at all.

As for those Japanese fans who went to the entrance of the hotel to guard Chen Yingxiong, there were even more...
