white tour

"Speaking of the pronoun of good luck, Zidane simply does his part. Every time Real Madrid is about to lose or draw, there will be players who will offer him a lore..."

After the warm-up, the Kashima Antlers players almost lined up to go back, but this inconspicuous scene fully reflected their discipline.

Antonio, who stopped and waited for Morata and Asensio, froze for a moment, and then he immediately frowned. Such a team seemed difficult to deal with.

"Luka, will you go back to Croatia during the holidays?"

"Probably, I haven't figured it out yet."

"What about you, Tony?"

"Of course! You must go home for Christmas!"

"Germany is so cold, and the vacation is not long, why not take the family over to vacation in Spain together, I think Mallorca is very good!"

"Mallorca? Who is going? You can come to my house to play! Let me tell you, Mallorca is a super beautiful island, and it is full of sunshine in winter..." Asensio who heard the name of his hometown Immediately stood up excitedly and started Amway.

Antonio is changing his gear. He wore thicker clothes to keep warm during the warm-up, and now he has to take off one by one.Although the locker room is air-conditioned, all the goosebumps on Antonio's body still popped out the moment he took off his naked body.He had to rush into thermal underwear, then a long-sleeved jersey, and finally a thick plush jacket.

The icy touch on the skin made Antonio shrink himself into a ball. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the thermal underwear that can lock in the heat to work.

However, a new problem has arisen——

Pull the ball pants, and pull it again, Antonio still feels tight in the crotch. He doesn't need to wear any thermal underwear in Spain.The new thermal pants brought by the staff have not been stretched, so they are particularly tight.

"Oh! Antonio, can you stop doing such a wretched move?" Morata covered his face with his hand and looked ashamed.

"Don't you think it's tight to wear this?"

"Ah! But we are substitutes, we can wait until halftime to change!"

Danino interjected, his smiling face looked like a joke no matter what.

Antonio gave him a flimsy look before continuing to struggle with his shorts.

"I'm going! This hot chick clothes are so uncomfortable to wear!"

"If you don't wear it, you will freeze to death as soon as you enter the stadium!"

"Haha! Luckily, I was prepared and brought the old thermal underwear here!"

……

In the locker room, there were complaints one after another. Most players don't like thermal underwear, which is extremely restrictive, because it feels unnatural to play football in them.

Antonio, who finally made himself feel less uncomfortable, sat in his seat and watched his teammates play. He felt that his team was a little too relaxed.And probably because he was wearing clothes he was not used to, he always felt a little inexplicably irritated.

Letting out a long breath, Antonio took out his cell phone from his backpack. Chris, who he missed, didn't send any messages, but Mr. La Volpe, whom he only met a few days ago, reminded him.

"This Japanese team is very strong, but if you are careless, you will suffer!"

"Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful."

After refreshing the p several times, the chat page belonging to Chris was still exactly the same as before. Antonio threw the phone into the closet, squatted down and checked the shoelaces and shin guards for the last time.

"Hello, audience friends. This is the Yokohama International Stadium in Japan. We can see that the stands that can accommodate [-] spectators are already full of fans. Today is the match between Real Madrid, the strongest club in Europe, and the king of the J-League in Japan. Division Kashima Antlers game.”

"The starting lineups of both sides have already come out. Let's take a look at Real Madrid first: Compared with the semi-finals, the only change in Real Madrid's formation is that captain Ramos replaced Nacho and returned to the starting lineup. The midfielder is Kroos. Casemiro partnered with Modric. On the front line, Ronaldo and Benzema started, Rodrigue continued to replace Bale who was recovering from injury, and Zidane still arranged a 4- 3-3 formation.

"On the other hand, the coach of their opponent Kashima Antlers, Masatada Ishii, rotated several positions. Ryota Nagagi replaced Mitsutaka Nakamura in midfield, and Yumeo Kanazaki replaced Shuhei Akasaki in striker. Gaku Shibazaki and Yasushi Endo were separated. On the two wings, Masaru Tsuchiya went straight forward, Yuma Suzuki, who scored in the last game, sat on the bench, and Kashima Antlers also used a 4-4-2 formation that they are very good at."

"It is worth mentioning that the starting 11 of the Kashima Antlers are all local players, and they did not use any foreign aid. The entire J-League will not rely too much on foreign aid, which can play a role in the cultivation of local youth players. It works a lot. As we all know, Japan’s top players are all playing in Europe, so it is not easy for Kashima Antlers to defeat other intercontinental champions all the way to the final stage. We hope it can be with Real Madrid A great game for everyone!"

Players from Real Madrid and Kashima Antlers lined up in two rows and led their ball boys onto the court. The two captains stepped forward to guess the side, then exchanged team flags and high-fived each other.

Taking off their jackets, the players ran back to the sidelines to take photos before the game.

"Antonio, which one do you want? Left hand or right hand?" While speaking, Varane had already handed over both gloves.

Shaking his head, Antonio rejected Wa Xueba's kindness, "Thank you! But you are a defender, you should wear it! Forwards run more, and their bodies will warm up soon."

Varane didn't particularly insist, he nodded to express his understanding, left a sentence of "come on" and then put on his gloves and stood where he should stand.

With the whistle of the referee, the game started like this.

The Kashima Antlers did not put up an iron barrel formation as people expected before the game. They dared to compete with Real Madrid in the midfield, and even this high-position press was often effective.

Perhaps because of not adapting to the climate here, Real Madrid players made a lot of mistakes. Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to the opponent at close range, and Antonio also stopped the ball once and directly stopped the ball off the court.

This is not the level I should have!Even if you are standing on the sideline, how can you not stop the ball when no one interferes?Calm down and move cleanly!

Antonio is really not used to wearing thermal underwear. Although he adjusted it in the dressing room, it has been stretched back after a while.He didn't want to make excuses for himself, but two small mistakes later made Antonio very dissatisfied with his performance.

Everyone in Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt is playing very uncomfortable. No matter who they are, as long as they get the ball, they will suffer high-intensity oppression from the opponent.

Slowly, the irritability in Antonio's heart seemed to increase.Especially at the moment when he was surrounded by three people and lost the ball, he almost irrationally shoveled from behind to try to get the ball back.

After reacting, he quickly restrained the impulse, but the more he wanted to calm down, the more he couldn't calm down.Obviously the winter night in Yokohama is so cold, but there is a fire burning in Antonio's heart.

"Today's Rodrigue doesn't look very good. Pay attention to his movements when he touches the ball. He is obviously faster than usual. He is a little impatient, so it is easy to make mistakes!"

"The same is true for Ronaldo. He even seemed a little reckless. He dribbled the ball to death several times. And Modric, although he protected the ball, he also missed the opportunity to attack. He didn't pass when it was time to pass. This is not the style of the Magic Flute. As for Benzema, who has been performing well recently, he disappeared from the camera in the first few minutes. What happened to Real Madrid?"

No one knows what happened to the Los Blancos. Compared with the Kashima Antlers that have been kneaded into a whole, the Real Madrid players who are fighting alone look a little embarrassed.

In fact, some cautious Kashima Antlers did not give full play to their strength. Although they adopted a high-position pressing method, their defensive posture was still somewhat conservative.When the football comes to the feet of Real Madrid's defenders, they almost never go for it.

The defensive midfielder Casemiro retreated to Real Madrid's defense line to control the ball. Kashima Antlers' double forwards, Tsuchiya Seinao and Kanezaki Yumeo, did not put any pressure on him. In fact, Real Madrid's defense had already overwhelmed the midfield line at this time. .

It seems that this is a good opportunity for Real Madrid, but Casemiro has only one player in front of Kroos.Real Madrid's offensive formation is too loose, and there is no good passing route at all. Casemiro can only pass the ball to Kroos.

In the case of no penetration, Kroos chose to hit Modric horizontally, and Real Madrid's offensive focus was shifted from the center to the far end of the opponent's formation.

Antonio, who was active on the sideline, stretched the width of the right, so when he received the ball, Kashima Antlers left-back Shuto Yamamoto could not press him in the first place.

In this way, Antonio can complete the cross very calmly.In the middle, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a strong ability to control the air, will join forces with Benzema to form a 2-to-2 balance of numbers locally. This is Real Madrid's best opportunity.

However, the most feared thing in everything is a "but". Antonio, whose crotch was tightened, had a problem when passing the ball. The landing point of the football was nearly one meter away from Ronaldo and Benzema.

This error is really big!

Kashima Antlers central defender Naruto Ueda headed the ball out, but Ryota Nagaki, who was eager to fill the space behind Shuto Yamamoto, missed Modric outside the penalty area.

Modric, who likes to shoot from this position the most, kicked a kick towards the goal. The goalkeeper was ready to save and let go. Benzema, who was close at hand, scored with a supplementary shot, and Real Madrid led 1-0.

Antonio, who felt that the attack was about to end at the moment the ball was passed, was a little stunned. He remembered the game in which the goalkeeper kicked the ball into Modric's arms several times.This time too, the Japanese centre-back hit the ball just right, and Modric didn't need to make too many adjustments to shoot.

Could it be that the Croatians have some kind of attraction to football?
