On December 12th, Tokyo National Arena.

The National Arena, which can accommodate 50,000 people, is full of people. The most are naturally local Japanese fans. Thousands of fans from Boca Youth and Leiden Oriental have traveled across the ocean to Asia to cheer for their teams. However, Leiden Oriental has taken a big advantage in the support of fans, because many Chinese fans have also come to the scene. Their support targets are naturally a Chinese chairman, a Chinese main player with half Chinese descent and a Chinese international player.

There are quite a lot of fans from China, with four or five thousand people occupying a large part of the stands. When the players from both sides were warming up on the court, the Chinese version of cheering for Leiden Oriental kept ringing in the stands, and some even took the lead and sang "The Red Dragon Flag Flying" together!

"Today's game is probably half of our home court." Xiao Ming laughed and said to McDonald.

Boca had protested before, because one of the referees on duty was from China. Considering that Leiden East has a strong Chinese background, they believed that the referee's law enforcement might be affected, but the organizing committee ignored them. Otherwise, what should Leiden East do if it suggested that the referee was from Colombia, South America, be unfavorable to them...

Bianchi has a big nose and deep eyes. His achievements mainly come from Argentina. He once coached in Rome, but failed quite a lot. Unlike many outstanding coaches, he was also a great player when playing football, a super scorer. At his peak, he scored more than 80% in almost every season. At most, he scored terrifying 54 goals in 56 games in Saasfield in one season and also had excellent performances in the European arena. In Reims and Paris Saint-Germain, he won five league top scorers in six seasons. He did not win the top scorer in the 74-75 season just because of injury. However, he still played 16 times and scored 15 goals, which was the greatest scorer in the Ligue 1 of that era.

After retiring, his coaching career began with Reims, but his grades were average. He became a top head coach after returning to Argentina in the 1990s. He led Saasfield to win championships including the Spring League, Autumn League, Liberators Cup and Toyota Cup, which made him one of the top head coaches. After Roma's failure, he became the hope of Boca's youth. It was under his leadership that Boca pressed his old rival River Plate tightly under his body, breaking the myth of River Plate's unification of the world.

This is also a disruptor.

When shook hands with Bianqi, Xiao Ming didn't say anything, and Bianqi didn't say anything. The next game was the best time for dialogue between the two sides. Verbal confrontation did not mean anything else, and they were too lazy to do such meaningless things.

The Boca Youth Starting Lineup Today is a 442-42-0. Palermo and Delgado are on the front line, and Riquelme is behind them. Behind them is Basu Abdul, Batalia and Serna. The four defenders are Imaira, Travosau, Bomdes, and Martland. The goalkeeper is Colombian national goalkeeper Cordoba.

Xiao Ming sent out a lineup today, with goalkeeper Jas Klanin, defenders Daniel and Ashley Cole replaced Gialney, Deselli and Hypia partnered in the middle, midfielders Jinklaze, Figo, Gerrard and Marklele, and the forwards were a combination of Edmunddo and Phillips. Edmunddo was to take advantage of his familiarity with South American defenders, while Phillips was to capture the flaws that South American defenders were not as stable as European defenders. The South American League was far from defense.

It is far less particular than the European League. They prefer offense. The top defenders produced have become defensive players after they have been fully trained in Europe. This can be seen from the fact that some players who are no longer able to perform well in Europe immediately become successful as soon as they return to South America. They have not had bad confrontation skills and a lot of small moves. Phillips is a forward who almost does not face his opponent head-on. In such a game, he is more suitable to play the main force than Klose.

Most of the Boca youth's offense comes from Riquelme's organization, so today Marklele has one task to defend Riquelme with close body to reduce the number of touches. Riquelme, who has no ball under his feet, can be said to be minimal in the threat.

Using man-to-marking to deal with Riquelme, while Palermo uses regional defense, not fixed-marking to deal with man-to-marking, but as long as he is in the penalty area, he will definitely receive the best treatment.

After all, the number of stars cannot be compared with the luxurious lineup that Xiao Ming spent several years only entering and not leaving. The madman and geeks were stared at to death, and the Boca youth attack was basically equal to paralysis. No matter which player was stared at or did not perform normally, it would not have much impact on the offense of Leiden East.

In this game, Xiao Ming did not plan to play any tricks with the opponent. He just relied on his own star's personal ability to win, and oppressed his opponent with a dignified and upright army and the top of Mount Tai. No matter how many strange tricks you have, you are all used to it.

By the way, Sima Yi dragged Zhuge Liang to death like this.

"Oh! The Boca youth launched a very threatening attack as soon as he came up! He quickly threw a free kick, and Serna from the wing quickly made a cross from the bottom, Palermo headed the ball in front of the goal! Jasquelenen responded quickly and pushed the ball out of the crossbar with one hand!"

"Sami, interfere with that guy more, don't let him head the ball easily!" After Jasquelen got up from the ground, he immediately shouted at his compatriot Hepia.

Hypia nodded. Palermo inserted it in time just now. He had only had time to interfere in the back, and the madman grabbed the first point in advance. He really needs to pay attention to it next.

Riquelme took a corner kick, and Hypia tightly wrapped around Palermo and made him unable to jump. Deselli cleared the ball in front of Delgado in advance. The ball fell under Edmunddo's retracement. Facing the defense of the opponent's defender, Edmunddo's beautiful heel hit the ball and dodged the opponent, then passed the ball to Jinklaze in front and rushed forward.

"Leedon Oriental's counterattack! In the Premier League and Europe, Leidon Oriental, which has risen in the past two years, is famous for its oppressive offense and smooth cooperation, but their counterattack is also quite sharp, especially in some important games, they all rely on counterattack goals to defeat their opponents. So some people say that Leidon Oriental's head coach Xiao Ming advocates offense on the surface, but is a conservative head coach in his bones... Okay, let's take a look at this attack. Jin Kraze is moving forward very quickly on the wing. His posture of dribbling is very strange. He moves forward with small steps. It looks average in speed, but in fact it is very fast... A Boca defender retreated and Jin Kraze passes the ball!"

During the run, Klaze pretended to force his breakthrough to the side, but a diagonal pass was sent secretly. The ball passed the Boca defender who was returning to defense and landed at Phillips' feet. Phillips immediately faced the goalkeeper Cordoba who was attacking without hesitation. The ball rubbed the post and flew out of the baseline in the look of anticipation of Leiden Oriental fans...

"What a pity! Leiden East's counterattack was indeed sharp! The first shot almost broke through the Boca youth's goal! What would Bianchi do? Should he push the offense or stabilize the midfield?"

Seeing Leiden East's extremely threatening counterattack this time, Bianchi sat in the coach's seat with great peace, just as if the shot just now did not exist at all.

In Bianchi's heart, this counterattack did not make him feel anything to worry about. What he cared about was that his team's offense was not a problem rather than any problem in defense. At least from Palermo's shot just now, there was no problem with their offense.

The Boca youth launched a counterattack. The midfielder Batalia took the ball and wanted to pass it to the core of the organization Riquelme, but found that the short black midfielder on the opponent was staring at Riquelme. Riquelme ran several times but could not get rid of his defense. Seeing that Edmunddo and Gerrard had surrounded him from two directions, Batalia had to pass the ball directly to Delgado, who was retreating and responding.

After Delgado got the ball, he planned to forcibly break through Delgado, but how could Delgado be frightened by the younger generation in front of him? He took a step forward honestly and unceremoniously, quickly cut off the connection between Delgado and the ball, and broke the ball, then passed the ball to Daniel on the right.

Daniel dribbled the ball forward, and made two consecutive two-pass-one cooperation with Gerald and Figo in the middle, forcing him to rush through the Boca youth like a bullet, and then swept the ball into the penalty area. Bomdez fell to the ground and tackled the ball in front of Phillips to clear the ball, but almost kicked the ball into his own goal, which scared Cordoba in a cold sweat.

Xiao Ming stood up for Leiden East's corner kick, and saw his move, Bianqi's heart moved, and immediately saw two central defenders of Leiden East rushing to the frontcourt at the same time.

The lack of a high center forward in the frontcourt does not mean that Leiden Oriental did not have a high altitude advantage when getting set pieces. Hypia, Deselli, and a Gerald, three tall players made a font shape and stood in the Boca Youth's penalty area, which immediately put huge pressure on the Boca Youth's defense.

Figo took a corner kick, and Cordoba tried hard to hit the ball over Hypia's head. Jinklaze intercepted the ball on the outside and immediately distributed the ball to Figo, who had just run back from the corner kick area. Figo made a fake move with a foot cross, and then dunked the ball back and forced a breakthrough into the Boca youth's penalty area!

Figo's breakthrough made the Boca youth's defense line mess, and in the end, Boca's defender took the lead in clearing the ball and kicked the ball far out of the sideline.

With the help of this attack, Leiden East completely overwhelmed the half. The Boca youth counterattack was average in the frontcourt, so Leiden East also dared to push forward boldly. Their offensive players' skills are not worse than those of the Boca youth players. They control the midfield with ease, and put pressure on the Boca youth's defense one after another.

The Boca youth thought about counterattacking, but failed to do it. All the long passes were controlled by two central defenders of Leiden East. The ground ball was directly destroyed by Marklele at any time. Xiao Ming used the simplest and most violent method to suppress the Boca youth's counterattack. All he had to do was to suppress the opponent's counterattack success rate to the lowest level while taking the lead in scoring!

This is the characteristic of Italian football in the 1980s. When you attack hard first, you will naturally be the best to score goals. If you cannot score, you will immediately retreat and counterattack, which will attract the opponent to press forward and attack and then continue to create threats through counterattacks. After taking the lead, you will implement defensive counterattacks more and continue to expand the score through counterattacks. Xiao Ming’s tactics today are to some extent borrowing from this tactic that has been regarded as outdated.

He relies not on anything else, but on his confidence in his team, believing that the overall strength of the players he sent is definitely above the opponent, and believe in his offensive players' ability to seize opportunities...

The dull look on Bianchi's face has disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. He knew that Leiden Oriental was very outstanding. The strength of European clubs in the Toyota Cup in recent years has proved that European clubs are indeed stronger than South American clubs. Leiden Oriental was able to participate in the Toyota Cup, which proved their strength. However, he did not expect Leiden Oriental to have such strength to suppress Boca youths with such a simple method. What he did not expect was that Xiao Ming seemed very familiar with his team! This is different from those European clubs in history...

In fact, Xiao Ming is not familiar with the entire Boca youth, but only Riquelme and Palermo are familiar with. But the worst thing is that Bianchi's tactics are indeed centered around these two people...

In fact, many outstanding clubs in South America are like this. One or two stars who are playing in their prime, and then a group of powerful players are supplemented by economic reasons. Due to economic reasons, the best stars in South America are basically in Europe. They are famous in South America - transfer to Europe - and truly become famous or degenerate. This is the growth trajectory of most South American stars. After all, professional football depends on money.

Just imagine players who are slid in Europe or cannot adapt to it can be called upon by the wind and rain as soon as they return to South America, you can see how many European clubs are ahead of South American clubs. The reason why South American clubs can still compete with European clubs in the Toyota Cup is that European clubs do not value the Toyota Cup so much, and at the same time, such a game of winning and losing is very accidental.

Among the head coaches in South America, Bianchi is a coach who values ​​defense more. Although he is a striker, he is also excellent in his defense training. However, after more than 20 minutes of attack in Leiden East, the Boca youth who struggled to support him still lost their defense line.

Jinklaze's cross was pushed out by the opponent's defender. Figo, who was circling at the front of the penalty area, received the ball. Facing Serna who was rushing towards him, Figo picked up the ball and dodged the opponent's pounce.

Without firmness, the second defender rushed up again, but Figo was not panicked. Facing the second defender who quickly tackled, Figo made the same move as before, and picked the ball up again, then jumped up to avoid the opponent's tackle!

After picking the ball twice in a row, dodging two opponents' defenders, a huge gap immediately appeared on the Boca youth's defense line - after all, the threat from other offensive players in Leiden East is also quite high, and sending two players to defend Figo is already the limit they can do.

After Figo landed, he had already entered the penalty area. He ignored the attack of a Boca youth on both sides. After landing, he immediately swung his right foot and then shot directly against the falling ball!

The ball flew to the near corner of the goal like a shell. Cordoba flew to the ground to block the ball, but was still a step slower. The ball flew past his hand, then quickly flew into the goal, hitting the ball hard!

"gooooooal - Luis - Figo! The world's No. 1 star scored a wonderful goal! He picked the ball twice in a row, tearing open the Boca youth's defense line, from passing to shooting, this attack was perfect! This is Figo's personal performance, I think this goal will definitely add a heavy weight to him in the next selection of World Football and European Golden Ball Awards!" The commentator of espn praised Figo: "When he has a high value, some players will not bear it.

Hold on to the pressure, such as the Brazilian De Nelson who had set a world transfer record before, but most of the time, those high-value players proved why they are worth so much money, such as Ronaldo, Vieri, and now Figo! He is a midfielder, but when the scene is in a stalemate, he can always stand up and score key goals or give key assists. In this regard, Leiden Oriental has made a good deal, making it very likely that they will win the first Toyota Cup trophy in club history!”

After scoring the goal, Figo couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't mean he could score such a wonderful goal. He made so many outstanding moves at that moment and finally sent the ball to the goal. This goal can be said to be Figo's peak work, and it was the perfect combination of his skills, consciousness and goal desire at that moment.

After scoring the goal, Figo rushed to the bottom of the stands, then waved his fists and roared at the stands. The Leiden Oriental fans in the stands stretched out their arms and responded enthusiastically, shouting Figo's name loudly.

Xiao Ming stood on the sidelines to applaud, the assistant coaches stood in a row with him, the neutral fans in the stands were applauding, and most of the people in the National Arena were applauding together, and they witnessed the birth of this great goal, what a wonderful thing!

Even the supporters of Boca Youth had to admit in their hearts that this was indeed one of the most exciting goals they have ever seen! The only regret was that they scored into their goal...
