Chapter 123 Defeating Chengnan Yihe and Tianma

In the early hours of December 2010, 12, BJ time, the second round of the semi-finals of the Club World Cup was held at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The duel with the Asian champion Seongnam Ichihwa.

On the same day 5 years ago, Benitez led Liverpool to the Club World Cup final 3-0. FIFA President Sepp Blatter came to watch the game in person.

Because it was rushing to Asia to compete during the league, Inter Milan's physical fitness was affected to a certain extent.

However, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, head coach Benitez still sent the strongest lineup that can play in this game.

In this game, Inter Milan still plays the 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is still Julio Cesar. Due to the injuries of Samuel and Maicon, the four defenders of Inter Milan will play from right to left. Followed by Zanetti, Cordoba, Lucio and Chivu.

In the midfield, Cambiasso, Stankovic and Sneijder all played, and the strikers Jingxuan, Milito and Eto'o started together.

The Asian champions Seongnam and Tianma formed a 4-1-4-1 formation. Faced with the rare opportunity to fight against the European champions, Seongnam and Tianma obviously did not want to be conservative and formed a counterattack lineup :

Veteran Zheng Chenglong will serve as the starting goalkeeper. The four guards from right to left are Gao Zaicheng, Cao Bingju, Ognenovski and No. 22 Hao Zhe.

中场方面，16号金城焕、11号莫利纳、30号赵载哲、8号崔成国以及9号赵东根首发出场，10号外援拉东契奇顶在最前面。

Before the match, when Jeonghyun shook hands with South Korean players one by one, the players of Seongnam Ilhwa were very enthusiastic and all of them were smiling. Perhaps in their hearts, Jeonghyun has replaced Park Ji-sung, the idol player of their country, as the country in East Asia. The lighthouse in the hearts of the players, the glory of Jingxuan represents the glory of the whole of Asia.

However, the friendship before the game is friendship. After the game started, Seongnam Ilhwa and the players made great defensive moves. Sneijder was kicked in the right thigh by Kim Seong-hwan, and fell to the ground with a painful expression. He had to be carried off the field on a stretcher for treatment.

Inter Milan, who played 1 less player, scored the first goal in the 5th minute!Jingxuan easily got rid of the left sideline of Gao Jaecheng and obliquely plugged into the penalty area. After taking the ball, Milito was destroyed by Cao Bingju's foot and the ball hit the middle. Mi Chu kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with his left foot, and the score became 15-1.

Thiago Motta then played to replace Sneijder, who was unable to persist in the game. In the 9th minute of the game, Seongnam Il and foreign aid forward Radoncic tried a long shot from outside the penalty area. The quality of the shot was good, and Cesar was a little careless , blocked the ball out of the baseline.

Then Seongnam Ilhwa sent a corner kick. Radoncic brought Lucio down in the header. Lucio seemed to have injured his right ankle when he fell, but he was able to continue the game. Benitez made a false alarm on the sidelines .

In the 15th minute of the game, Jingxuan made a diagonal pass from the left to the middle, Cao Bingju brought down Milito from behind, and Inter Milan got a direct free kick in the arc of the penalty area.It's a pity that Jingxuan's free kick hit the crossbar and bounced out. Stankovic followed up with a volley and missed again. Seongnam Yihe escaped unharmed.

Two minutes later, Seongnam Ilhwa's foreign aid Molina passed Zanetti on the wing, then cut inside and shot a long shot with his left foot, but it missed the baseline.

In the 21st minute of the game, Milito counterattacked and passed through the penalty area, but Zheng Chenglong grabbed the ball in front of Jingxuan. Jingxuan obviously kicked a little bit in this game, and may not want to play hard.

Seongnam Ilhwa then counterattacked. Molina received the ball from the midfielder and passed it straight to the right side of the penalty area. Zhao Donggeun's shot slid past the goal and flew out of the baseline on the other side.

In the 24th minute of the game, Cordoba was brought down by Radoncic, who had an action in his hand. The referee showed the latter the first yellow card of the game.

In the 30th minute of the game, Ognenovski kicked Stankovic behind the back, and the Panamanian referee Moreno showed another yellow card.

Inter Milan expanded the score in the 35th minute!Zanetti made a breakthrough from the right and made a cross. Milito made a wonderful pass from the right heel of the penalty area. Zanetti poked his right foot into the lower left corner of the goal 12 meters in front of the goal. The score became 2-0.

After that, Seongnam Ilhwa used free kicks to continue to create threats. In the 36th minute of the game, Molina took a free kick with his left foot 30 meters in front of the goal and flew out of the baseline against the right post.

In the 39th minute of the game, Molina took a free kick from the left, and Radoncic headed the ball to the near corner and was thrown out by Cesar.

During this period of time, Seongnam Ilhwa seemed to be suppressing Inter Milan's offensive posture. Of course, this has something to do with Inter Milan's active shrinking of the formation.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Cambiasso fouled, and Molina passed a free kick with his left foot on the right side of the penalty area. Cao Bingju rushed to the top 7 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the right post!
For a while, the Asian teams in front of Inter Milan made a lot of noise, which made Inter Milan coach Benitez who was sitting off the court quite dissatisfied. I saw Beitu kept yelling on the sidelines, reminding the players on the court to stand.

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Inter Milan stole the ball in the penalty area and launched a counterattack. Jingxuan took the ball on the left side of the midfielder and broke through the defense of Gao Jae-sung and Kim Seong-hwan to the center.

Then there was a two-for-one cooperation with Milito on the penalty area line. After Jingxuan got the ball again, he shot a lob shot near the penalty area line on the right side of Chengnanyi. To be able to watch the ball float overhead and into the goal.

The score on the field became 3:0, and Inter Milan had already secured the victory in the first half.

After scoring the goal, Jingxuan didn't seem very excited again. Perhaps in his opinion, scoring goals against opponents of this level is nothing more than normal.

After the change of sides, Seongnam Yihe pressed even higher. In the 46th minute of the game, Cui Chengguo successfully reversed offside and volleyed with his right foot 12 meters from the goal on the right side of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the ball missed.

In the 49th minute of the game, Eto'o passed a diagonal pass, Thiago Mota knocked back from the left, Milito shot with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area and missed the power, Zheng Chenglong got the ball.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Inter Milan's left corner kick was destroyed by Chengnan Yihe's players. Jingxuan stopped the ball with his left foot 20 meters in front of the goal, but unfortunately missed the far post slightly.

Then Benitez replaced Jingxuan, who performed well in this game, with Sanchez. When Jingxuan left the field, he was applauded by tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

In the 57th minute of the game, Molina took a corner kick from the right, Ognenovski headed 8 meters in front of the goal, and then Molina shot with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal.

Sanchez broke through Hao Zhe from the left and cut into the penalty area. Moreno called him a foul, and Sanchez shook his hand and turned away dissatisfied.

Inter Milan made another victory in the 72nd minute!Stankovic scored the ball from the middle, Eto'o's push from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Zheng Chenglong, and Milito pushed his left foot into the lower left corner from 10 meters from the goal in the chaotic battle. It became 6 to 4.

After that, Benitez replaced the injured Lucio with David Luiz, and Inter Milan began to defend with all their heart.

In the 81st minute of the game, Chengnan Yihe missed the must-go opportunity. Ognenovski took a free kick 25 meters in front of the goal and shot a low shot through the wall. Cesar made a side throw and blocked it. A supplementary shot from 7 meters in front of the goal missed the left post.

In the end, Inter Milan maintained a 4-0 advantage until the end, won a big victory in the team's first game of the Club World Cup, and advanced to the final of the Club World Cup with its head held high.
