Chapter 65 Brazilian Players with Different Goals

"At this point in the game, Monterrey obviously lacked stamina. When they faced Arsenal, their overall performance was not particularly outstanding, and it was difficult to get excited."

Monterey was robbed.

After Arsenal scored the second goal, Monterrey was led by Arsenal.

Especially after entering the second half, Monterrey made substitutions, but the effect of the substitutions became worse.

The young Mexican teenager wanted to express his breakthrough several times, but Lucky accurately intercepted each time, giving Arsenal a chance to counterattack.

Even for this reason, Arsenal expanded the score again in the 71st minute.

When the score reached the 80th minute, Monterrey's motivation almost disappeared.

In fact, they never expected to defeat Arsenal and reach the final.

But when the game first presented such a one-sided situation, the gap in my heart was still very huge.

But at the end of the 90-minute game, Arsenal finally defeated Monterrey, the representative team from North America, 3:0 and successfully advanced to the final of the Club World Cup.

Yes!

This is the value of the Champions League title.

Only one game, directly advance to the finals.

This also means that the organizers and even FIFA recognize the ability of the Champions League champions and believe that they will definitely lock in a spot in the finals.

If it weren't for the fear of causing too much controversy, we might just go to the finals.

After today's game, the spot in the Club World Cup finals has also been locked.

They are Arsenal from Europe and Flamengo from South America.

That's right, it's another classic Europe versus South America.

But in the modern era when South American teams are constantly being drained by Europe, it is simply too difficult for them to defeat European teams.

For example, Jimenez in Arsenal's lineup is from Uruguay, and Martinez, the main goalkeeper, is also Argentinian.

Flamengo is a Brazilian football team.

The word flamenco itself represents a dance art genre in Spain.

Yes!

Just like the Renga football skills advocated in Brazil, it represents the delicate and gorgeous beautiful football.

But now Brazilian football has begun to change.

They no longer follow tradition, but are closer to European offensive football.

Faster pace!

A more swift counterattack!

Tougher defense, etc.

Flamengo is a representative. It can be said that the current Brazilian football has already broken away from their own football style and begun to develop towards the European football system.

For this reason, many people also say that Brazil, including South America, is the pasture of European football.

When an outstanding player appears, he will definitely be transferred to high-level European leagues.

Just like Neymar, Casemiro, and other Brazilian countries.

Of course, this is also the result of the European leagues becoming more systematic and better.

Arsenal does not particularly understand the style of Brazilian football in the past. If Flamengo adopts their own football style and methods, Arsenal will be wary.

But when they began to adopt popular tactics in Europe, Arsenal didn't have so many worries.

Although this is the top team in South America, in terms of their understanding and application of tactics, they are still far behind Arsenal.

There are three days of rest before the game.

During this time, Arsenal and Flamengo are both training.

The two teams did not refuse interviews from reporters and media. Although the Club World Cup is led by FIFA, its gold content is not high.

After all, the level of leagues in various continents is uneven, just like Arsenal versus Monterrey, which cannot give them much of a threat.

Soon, three days flew by.

The finals of the Club World Cup are about to begin.

Arsenal vs Flamengo.

This is also a direct collision between European football and South American football.

There will always be some controversial topics between the two continents.

For example, South American teams believe that although they are not as good as Europe in terms of clubs, they are better in terms of overall strength and player output.

And they also know how to cultivate talented players.

There is also a direct competitive relationship between the two continents.

Flamengo want to beat Arsenal, and Arsenal won't take it lightly.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielder: Saka, Xhaka, Eriksson, Lucky, Mane.

Forward: Giroud.

Flamengo (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Diego Alves.

Defenders: Felipe, Banuruo Mari, Rodrigo Cayo, Rafinha.

Midfielder: Enrique, Gerson, de Arrascaeta, William Allan, Ribeiro.

Forward: Barbosa.

"The two teams have entered the stadium and they are about to compete for the Club World Cup championship!"

"For Flamengo, they will face the powerful Champions League champion Arsenal, which is a very difficult challenge for them!"

"However, the Flamengo team also has players with a lot of experience in European competitions, as well as some young talented players, who may be able to produce some wonderful performances."

The Qatari commentator is still very optimistic about Flamengo.

After all, this is Brazil's team, no matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse.

Some people have a certain impression of Brazil, and they think Flamengo can still pose some threat to Arsenal.

And Flamengo is also ready to fight!

Most of these Flamengo players have a history of traveling in Europe. Although some players' process is not beautiful, they are still strong players.

Especially for Flamengo's No. 10 player Barbosa, this is a good opportunity to prove himself.

Barbosa has landed in the top European leagues in his early twenties. At that time, he was valued by Inter Milan and completed the transfer, but just one season later, he was loaned to Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

After going around in circles, he returned to the local Brazilian league again.

However, he has never given up on the impact on the European arena.

And this game against Arsenal is a great opportunity.

There is another player with similar ideas, that is Gerson.

Gerson is also one of the Brazilian players who failed in their European journey. This year, he was listed for sale by Roma and finally came to Flamengo.

However, Gerson has the same idea as Barbosa. He also wants to continue to impact the European arena. After all, he is still very young.

But unlike Barbosa who proved himself through Arsenal, Gerson wants to be valued by Arsenal or Mourinho.

Yes!

He wants to join Arsenal!

He thinks this is a very challenging platform.

Once he is valued by Arsenal and joins the Gunners, his career will definitely become richer.

It can be said that compared to Arsenal's simple desire to win, the ideas of Flamengo players are richer.

They have different purposes, but what they can unify is that they must create some trouble for Arsenal.

Beep!

!

A sharp whistle sounded.

In Doha, the capital of Qatar, under the attention of tens of thousands of fans, the final of the Club World Cup officially kicked off.

Flamengo took the lead in kicking off, and after the kick-off, they immediately launched an attack.

It can be seen that Flamengo's players are more excited and their offensive intentions are more obvious.

In the constant passing, they tried again and again, and wanted to launch attacks on both wings.

But the problem is that Xhaka is okay, but Lekai on the right is an iron gate, not giving them any chance to break through.

During this period, Brazilian player Ribeiro also confidently wanted to challenge this European iron gate.

But it ended in failure.

Or, he was directly knocked out of the sideline by Lekai with the ball.

Since it was the first foul, the referee only gave a verbal warning, and Lekai's attitude was also very good.

But Ribeiro was not so comfortable.

He felt that the moment he was hit, his stomach was churning and he was about to vomit.

His body couldn't help shaking a little, afraid of being hit again.

Lekai used this barbaric way to warn the opponent that if he wanted to pass him, he had to be mentally prepared.

After this time, Flamengo's attack began to lean to the other side.

Even if the transfer was completed, Ribeiro did not dare to rush directly with Lekai, but wanted to play two-on-one.

Kelekai would never give such an opportunity, and he would make the first judgment every time.

Either the ball stays, or the player stays.

In this case, Ribeiro is even more miserable.
