Chapter 966 Journey to Defend the Club World Cup

When the opponents of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw were announced, some people were happy and some were worried.

Paris coach Emery was very excited. He kept talking to the media: "Last season, we lost to Manchester United very regrettably. I didn't expect that we would draw together again. What a twist. This time The quarter-finals will definitely be a battle of revenge! The final advance must be Paris!"

And Ibrahimovic, who has already joined Real Madrid, also offered his blessings to his old club: "Come on guys, you will definitely be able to eliminate Manchester United!"

When the outside world was talking about the result of the draw, Kim Tago and his players were preparing for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on December 12 in the UAE.

As the champions of the Champions League, Manchester United's journey to the Club World Cup began with the semi-finals.This time their opponent is the host team Abu Dhabi Peninsula from the United Arab Emirates. In the play-offs and the quarter-finals, they defeated Auckland City of New Zealand and Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan respectively. Both games won 1-0. .

Facing the host this time, Jin Taige reminded his players not to take it lightly.Although the opponents are not strong, they have the home court advantage. Perhaps Manchester United will face some unfair treatment. These West Asian teams have always liked to play these small tricks.

In another semi-final that ended early on December 12, Gremio from Brazil defeated Pachuca from Mexico 12-2 and advanced to the final.If Manchester United can win the semi-finals, then they will face the Brazilian powerhouse in the final.

On December 12, Manchester United's Club World Cup journey began.

This journey of the Club World Cup is very important for Kinteg, because they have already won six championships in 2017. If they can successfully defend the Club World Cup, then they will become the unprecedented defending seven champions!

This is a super invincible achievement!
When Jin Taige won the seven championships before, many Barcelona fans were once black-bellied: What's the matter, we Barcelona have won the six championships, but there are only a few insignificant cup championships. Similarly, you Manchester United are still behind us.

And when Kintag defended the Champions League title, Real Madrid fans also proudly said: This is nothing, our Real Madrid has already defended the Europa League title under the leadership of Zidane, and you Manchester United are just the second.

Faced with this situation, Jin Taige was actually holding back his energy.

They are right, one of their seven crowns is indeed not enough to completely crush all teams.

However, if Manchester United can defend the seven crowns, then in the entire international football world, who else will compete with Manchester United!

With Peng Bai in his heart, Jin Taige led the whole team towards the seventh championship of this season!
Before the semi-finals, the Manchester United players were very excited. Although Kintag didn't tell everyone too much in advance, everyone knew it in their hearts.If they can win the Club World Cup, they will defend their seven titles this season!This honor is enough for them to boast for a lifetime!

Facing the Abu Dhabi Peninsula in the United Arab Emirates on the court, the good form of Manchester United players was brought to Asia. They played against their opponents, which was like a half-time offensive and defensive drill.

In the 11th minute of the game, Manchester United opened the scoring.

In an indirect free kick in the frontcourt, Kroos passed the ball directly to Van Dijk in the center of the penalty area. Van Dijk beat the Abu Dhabi Peninsula defender and scored with a header. The ball smashed into the net. .

But when the Manchester United players rushed to the sidelines excitedly, they suddenly heard the referee's whistle.

What, the goal is invalid?

The referee from West Asia looked stern. He indicated that Van Dijk hit the opponent's defender earlier, so the goal was invalid.

The Manchester United players were very dissatisfied. They surrounded the referee and argued, but to no avail.

Seeing the dissatisfied expression of the referee, the captain Van Dijk hurriedly pulled away the teammates who came forward to argue, and then whispered to everyone: "Guys, don't worry, we still have time, we can't lose the big by small things. If Because of a protest, let us take the card ourselves, it is really not worth the loss."

After hearing Van Dijk's persuasion, the players stopped arguing, and they each returned to their positions, ready to continue the game.

The game continues.

Although the players were a little upset, they still played in a [-]% state. After all, the strength gap between the two teams was too great, and Abu Dhabi Peninsula had no chance at all.

In the 27th minute of the game, Manchester United scored another goal.

This time it was Salah's high-speed insertion, a low pass, Griezmann followed up with an easy push, and the ball crashed into the net!

At the moment of the goal, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Griezmann offside!

At this time, even the TV commentator couldn't stand it anymore: "If Van Dijk was sentenced to offside for the goal just now, it is understandable. After all, Van Dijk and the opponent's defender collided [-]-[-]. It is also sympathetic to call it a foul. It's true. But Griezmann's goal just now, there is absolutely no problem! The moment he passed the ball to Salah, he was still one position away from the defender defending him, how could it be considered a foul?"

This ball made Manchester United players completely angry!
They surrounded the referee again, asking for an explanation.But in the end all he asked for was a yellow card.

Van Dijk pulled back Alonso who had already received a yellow card. If he kept shouting, he should have been sent off with a red card.

Ferran on the sidelines also yelled loudly, venting his inner dissatisfaction.

The fourth official even warned Ferran directly, telling him that if he showed disrespect to the referee, then he should be invited to the stands to watch the game!
Jin Taigra stopped Feilan, he nodded at the fourth official, turned back to the coach's bench without saying anything.

good!You are very good!

At this time, Phelan was still expressing anger, and Jin Taige said blankly: "Dude, control your emotions, don't bring the anxious and angry atmosphere to the players on the field."

When Feilan heard this, he immediately vented his anger: "But these referees are too much..."

Jin Taige snorted coldly: "The referees in West Asia have always been shameless, just get used to it."

He came to the sidelines and shouted at the captain and deputy captain Van Dijk and Griezmann on the field to let them control the emotions of the players and not to cause problems.

In the following time, the players in Abu Dhabi Peninsula fell to the ground as soon as they were touched in the confrontation, and the referee directly awarded a foul to Manchester United; while Manchester United players were violated many times in the frontcourt, the referee seldom gave Manchester United free kicks .

In such chaos, the first half of the game ended.
