[Football] Kaka and Margaret

Without a single stop, just one night, Kaka needed to fly to Japan with other members of the team to participate in the Toyota Cup match.The original name of the Toyota Cup is the Intercontinental Cup, and the full name is the European/South American Cup. It is an international football event jointly organized by the UEFA Federation and the South American Football Confederation. The strongest clubs in Europe and South America are contested every year. , the participating teams usually win the Champions League (European Champions League) and the Copa Libertadores.Since 1980, Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan has sponsored the cup, so the event has since been called the "Toyota Cup".

This is a competition that will be held in a country far to the east.Maphilia could fly to Japan to support on-site without any scruples, but Maggie couldn't.This game has become an insurmountable "gap" between her and Kaka. Although I hate this feeling, I have to succumb to reality.She can only put blessings on Kaka and send him away_(:з"∠)_

So next time she also wants to go abroad QAQ

--------

Going to the competition venue early is also to adapt to the local climate and jet lag management in advance to avoid symptoms of acclimatization.When Kaka arrived in Japan, the first batch of teammates had already gone through a round of training, and the overall feeling was very relaxed, talking and laughing after the training.Their opponent is the Boca Juniors team from Argentina. As the champion of the last Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors is not only in Argentina, but also a powerful team in South America.

In Japan, which has a seven-hour time difference with Italy, the 19th Toyota Cup started at the Yokohama Arena at 15:24 local time.This game will be broadcast live to 129 countries. In faraway Italy, at noon in Milan, Margarita, like many fans who can only watch the broadcast, is looking forward to this game.She still remembers Ancelotti's description of the game in previous media interviews: "If you win, it will be a birthday candle for Milan's delicious cake this year." And everyone is looking forward to this. Candle.

This is AC Milan's record-breaking seventh time to participate in the Intercontinental Cup/Toyota Cup. Although the defender Nesta is absent due to a knee injury, it does not hinder the overall level. After all, Costacurta can replace him. He and Marti Nido participated in the Toyota Cup for a record fifth time. As the captain, Maldini participated in the Toyota Cup for the first time in 7, when AC Milan defeated the Colombian national team 5-1989.Inzaghi and Ambrosini are also injured. Both of them are sitting on the bench. Whether they can play is another matter.The last time Cafu lifted the 1 World Cup as the captain here, before joining AC Milan, he almost chose the Yokohama Mariners, and in 0 and 2002, Cafu followed the Sao Paulo club to win the Toyota cup.

In fact, before the game, the head coach was also hesitant about who to start.In yesterday's training match, he placed Kaka on the bench.The media that got wind of the news immediately reported the "Kaka not starting", even Marguerite, who was far away in Italy, could quickly receive the news.The reason for Ancelotti's headache is that Rui Costa's recent state is amazing, but Kaka's previous two consecutive goals and his determination to fight against the Argentine made the Milan coach shaken at the last moment. On the evening of the 13th, the lights in the conference hall on the third floor of the Yokohama Intercontinental Hotel stayed on until 1:14 in the morning. It was Ancelotti and his assistants Tassotti and Vicki were having a meeting to discuss. The result of the discussion finally decided to let Thomasson Played with Kaka, Inzaghi and Rui Costa came off the bench.Then Maggie saw the newspaper on the morning of the [-]th. "Gazzetta dello Sport" believed that letting Kaka start in such an important game proved that the Brazilian's position in Ancelotti's heart had completely surpassed Costa.So the media is really "it's not a big deal to watch the excitement", and they are always sowing discord!It's really annoying.

Boca Juniors participated in the Toyota Cup for the third time in the past 4 years. They won the Intercontinental Cup for the first time in 3. At that time, their opponent was Borussia Mönchengladbach who replaced Liverpool who refused to go to Japan to participate in the competition. Then they won A 1977:3 victory.The head coach of Boca Juniors, Bianchi, had led his team to win the Toyota Cup twice before.

The referee Ivanov from Russia showed the first yellow card of the game.

Judging from the current form of the game, both teams are based on defense first, and the scene is relatively flat. There has not been a single shot for a long time. The most threatening attack of AC Milan is the overhead pass from Pirlo.In the 14th minute, Batalia was injured by the sole of Seedorf's foot when he was fighting for the top. He went to the sidelines for treatment and put a bandage on his head.Seedorf looked at him apologetically.In the 19th minute, Xieluoto fell to the ground in the siege of Cafu and Gattuso.

Whatever the principle of fair competition, it doesn't matter.But, obviously, she couldn't.

Boca's overall defense is very successful. Although Boca's defenders have been tempted to foul several times, Kaka obviously became afraid to make big moves under the pressure of the opponent. Vulchenko and Thomason lost their source of ammunition at the front.Seedorf and Pirlo also like to participate in the offense, which makes Kaka more unconsciously lean on the front line, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.In the 41st minute, Colombian defender Perea injured his right ankle when he tackled a tackle and received treatment.There was no big action in the subsequent game until injury time.

During the intermission, the fans don't know what adjustments Milan will make. They feel anxious.

This is the first time Maggie watched the game. It was overtime. Overtime is also divided into two halves. Although it is only 30 minutes, it consumes a lot of energy for the players, especially the starters who have already run for 90 minutes. Players are even more consumed.Generally speaking, no team is willing to play overtime, let alone a penalty shootout.

At the beginning of extra time, Tevez shot low with his right foot at the front of the penalty area and missed the left post.In the 94th minute, Yiare hit a high with his right foot 20 meters away from the left. AC Milan's physical strength was exhausted in the official game, and now it is obviously inferior to the opponent.

He did not allow the opponent to get a chance in the penalty area. Schiawi stopped the ball outside the penalty area and chose a long shot, but The ball did not go into the net as he wished.

The score was 120-1 in 1 minutes, and the two sides entered a brutal penalty shootout.The TV broadcast focused twice on Kaka on the bench - the handsome Brazilian boy was wearing a red AC Milan fleece cap, which he and Maggie had bought together in the fan shop before. He looked at the goal, his eyes It is full of expectation and full of childishness.This is the first time Kaka has experienced such a thrilling moment, and it is less than 1 months since he joined AC Milan.In far away Italy, Maggie is also experiencing this moment. Just in front of the screen, the tension and oppression she can feel will only multiply on the spot, and the players who are about to kick penalties, all of them One can imagine the psychological pressure faced.

The European champion lost to the South American champion and lost a good game.Boca Juniors won the cup for the third time, thus tying the record of AC Milan, Real Madrid, Uruguay National, and Penarol winning the championship three times, and their coach Bianchi won the Toyota Cup as a coach for a record three times.

Kaka did not fulfill his pre-match promise: "The Brazilian team won the World Cup last year here. I don't feel like I am also a champion because I didn't make any contribution. Now I hope to use my strength to win a world championship for Milan." But he is still young, he will have more opportunities to fulfill his promise and do everything he wants to do.
