Chapter 32 It's far away
Because of Degan's words, the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup was full of gunpowder from the beginning. Japanese media and fans were very angry because of Degan's contempt for Japanese football. Of course, they did not understand why Degan was so radical, and even Degan's teammates were not clear.
It seems that Degan has never been to Japan, but why does his attitude seem to be a little hostile to Japan?
"I don't need any explanation. I only need one victory in this game, 5:0, or more!"
In the locker room, Degan directly issued a battle order to his teammates. Yes, it was an order. In this game, Degan wanted more than a victory, but a complete victory.
After Degan's pre-war mobilization, Prandelli pulled him aside with a very meaningful smile on his face and said, "Rod! If you do this, I'm afraid Mr. Pakinwa will be unhappy!"
Degan looked a little disdainful: "That bastard's mind is full of money. What kind of bullshit business development he thinks, Chezare! I don't care how many jerseys I can sell in Japan. What he thinks has nothing to do with me!"
Yokohama International Comprehensive Arena, Florence and Osaka Gamba, the winners of this competition, will be the final with the champion of the Copa Libertadores and the Kedo Society from Ecuador.
After defeating Adelaide United, AFC Champions League champion Osaka Gamba won the opportunity to compete with European champion Fiorentina. In this game, Prandelli also played as the main force.
Although Degan's remarks hurt the national self-esteem of the Japanese before the game, the scene was still full, and people wanted to see the demeanor of world-class stars.
At the beginning of the first half of the game, Osaka Gamba, who had the advantage of the home court, quickly entered the rhythm of the game. Only four minutes after the start of the game, Ming Zhihe got a shot at the front of the big penalty area of Florence. Unfortunately, his long shot was easily confiscated by the highly focused Frey. Immediately, Osaka Gamba's defender Rita Yasuda assisted to the front court and hit the goal slightly higher with his left foot.
In this game, the most nervous person in Fiorentina is undoubtedly Frey. Although Digan did not say it clearly before the game, his attitude is already very obvious. In the game, he must not lose the ball.
Thinking that if a goal is scored by the Japanese, Degan's furious look, Frey can only cheer up for fear of being accidentally stolen a point by the Japanese. In that case, he will be unlucky at that time.
After holding the three-board axe of Gamba Osaka, Fiorentina began to take over the game in an all-round way. In the fifth minute, Degan took the ball in the front court and resisted Osaka Gamba's defender. He directly turned around and shot low with his left foot and was saved by goalkeeper Yosuke Fujitani.
Two minutes later, Modric carried the ball on the left side. After breaking through the opponent's two defenders in a row, he shot at the far corner, but he was too eager for the angle and slightly missed the shot.
In the 12th minute, Fiorentina got a free kick in the front court. Degan shot a free kick, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the angle was too small, and he was confiscated by Yosuke Fujiya.
Although consecutive shots failed to score, under the strong offensive of Fiorentina, Osaka's defense line is also crumbling. Not to mention that the offensive is gone, it is very difficult to pass the half.
As a result, three minutes later, Fiorentina scored the first goal. After receiving a pass from Montolivo in the front court, Digan dribbled the ball horizontally, shook the defense of Osaka Gamba player Satoshita Nakazawa, volleyed the left post with his left foot and got into the net.
1:0!
After scoring the goal, Degan looked very excited and rushed straight to the camera and went up with a right hook, which made the Japanese who were watching the game in front of the TV subconsciously lean back, as if Degan had punched them in the face.
Before the game, some people said that Degan would do nothing under the defense of Satoshi Nakazawa and Satoshi Yamaguchi, but now Degan punched them fiercely with facts. Just now, Satoshi Nakazawa's defense was in place, but Degan seemed so calm when he got rid of Satoshi Nakazawa's defense.
Digan has always been a must-have person. Of course, he doesn't know which green onion Nakazawa Satoshi is. Since the Japanese have said that they have a way to defend him, wouldn't he make the Japanese too proud if he doesn't respond?
The game restarted. Only two minutes later, Florence's offensive came back. After Fellaini took the ball in the midfield, he directly made a long pass and hit behind the Osaka Gamba defense line. Degan succeeded in offside, lightly shook the attacking goalkeeper and brought the ball directly into the goal.
The stands were quiet in an instant. Degan's doing so was obviously insulting. Not to mention the Japanese fans in the stands, even Florence Executive Chairman Pakinwa in the VIP seat became very ugly.
Pakinwa came to Japan this time for commercial cooperation. The day before the start of the game, he also called Prandelli to let the team properly save some face for the host on the basis of ensuring victory.
But now, Degan's approach is obviously to ignore his words and look at the faces of the Japanese around him.
On the court, after finishing the goal, Degan ran directly towards the middle line as if nothing had happened. The Japanese around him seemed not to see the blue and angry eyes.
In the stands, Park Ji-yeon is shouting excitedly. She doesn't know that there are many cameras facing her at this moment. Since the Beijing Olympics, she is now a big public figure.
Two balls in hand, and Fiorentina played more well in the next game. Although Gamba Osaka tried to fight back, he was helpless. Every time he counterattacked, he would hit his head in front of the strong defense line of the Florence midfield.
In the 26th minute, Fiorentina scored again. This time, it was Modric who scored. Degan took the ball in the middle. When he saw Modric insert it, he immediately divided the side. After Modric got the ball, he made a move to pass, cheated the light of the ground, and then suddenly cut in, made a long shot, and scored directly.
3:0!
After only a minute, Fiorentina broke the ball and counterattacked again. Degan pulled to the right to get the ball, shook Yasuda and shot vigorously. He was blocked by Yamaguchi, but failed to bounce away. As a result, Pacini, who was thrown up, easily headed the ball and scored the goal.
4:0!
In the 30th minute, Fiorentina got a chance to kick a corner. Modric's right corner kick, and Degan was near the penalty spot, beat Yamaguchi, headed the ball to the goal, and sent the ball into the net.
5:0!
Up to now, Gamba Osaka has completely collapsed. The Japanese fans who have been singing and cheering for the team are also at this time. They can foresee that a defeat is inevitable.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the reality is right now. Compared with Florence, which represents the highest level in Europe, the strength of Osaka Gamba is not a level at all. It seems that there is still quite a long process for Japanese football to win the throne of world champions!"
The Japanese commentator's tone was low, as if he was giving a eulogy to Gamba Osaka, but what he said was also true. It was impossible for Gamba Osaka to compete with Florence for a place in the final.
Now it is more practical to honestly end the game and then compete with Pachuca for the third place in this World Club Cup, which looks more reliable.
Now, the only thing Japanese fans expect is that Florence can save some face for the host and stop beating the water dog.
However, soon, their fantasy was shattered in stoppage time in the first half. Fiorentina launched an attack and Degan passed the ball to Pacini, who was blocked from the bottom line.
Following, Modric's right corner kick came out. Like the previous corner kick, Degan pressed Yamaguchi Zhi, jumped sideways, shook his head in the lower left corner of the goal, and scored again.
6:0!
When the first half ended and the two teams returned to the locker room, there was no expression on the faces of the Osaka Gamba players, and they were stunned by Fiorentina.
The whole team returned to the locker room, and the players immediately began to celebrate. Prandelli and Degan did not stop everyone. The game has been 100% won. Osaka Gamba wants to turn over unless the big air wing really comes to the world.
But just as the players were celebrating, Pakinwa pushed the door and came in and directly called Prandelli and Degan aside. Although Degan looked down on Pakinwa, at least the other party was also the executive chairman of Florence, and he still had to give face.
But Pakinwa now seems to be a rooster that has been trampled on his neck. He came up and roared at Prandelli and Degan: "Do you want Florence to become Japan's public enemy? Do you know that the Japanese market is a very important development place in Florence? I don't care what you think. It's not a discussion to let the Japanese score goals in the second half, but~~~~~"
Before the "order" of Paginwa's mouth could be said, he was interrupted by the furious Degan and reached out and directly grabbed Pakinwa's neck.
Originally, Degan still wanted to live in peace with Pakinwa, and neither of them interfered with each other's work, but now Pakinwa is obviously a little overpassed.
"I also tell you this bastard, I'm a player. My task and my brothers and I are to fight for the honor of Florence on the court. You are the fucking asshole and dare to dictate in front of me. Now get out and kneel in front of your Japanese master to add their buttocks. That's your freedom, me. What we have to do is to completely destroy the arrogant Japanese on the football field!"
Prandelli was shocked by Degan's behavior. When he reacted, Pakinwa was blushed by Degan and quickly came forward to stop him: "Rod! Calm down!"
Degan roared loudly with red eyes, "I can't calm down. My brothers and I are working hard on the court, but some people are digging my corner!"
The more Digan said, the more angry he became. With a force, he directly lifted Pakinwa up and then fell heavily to the ground.
Parkinwa was stunned at this moment. He didn't expect Digan to do it. After coughing for a long time, he finally recovered. He raised his head, looked at Digan with resentment, and said viciously, "You Brazilian bastard, you will pay for everything you have done today!"
Ban!
Degan kicked Pakinwa away directly, sneered and said disdainfully, "Are you really afraid of me? Get out now. This is the locker room. You, a Japanese dog, can't crawl in!"
The conflict broke out here, and the players in Florence have also seen it. Some people are secretly shouting for themselves, and some people are worried about Degan. Pakinwa is a close a cron from Delaware. Now Digan has taught Pakinwa a lesson. It is difficult to guarantee that Delaware will not have a grudge against Degan because of this matter. Once Delaware and Degan break out If the shield is gone, it must be Degan. In that case, what can Florence do?
Degan didn't care about this: "Listen, in the second half, we will continue to score goals and fuck the host's face. That's not a matter of what we should consider. In the second half, if I find out who doesn't work hard on the court, you don't want to fool around with Florence anymore!"
Digan was angry, and the Florentine players naturally did not dare to refute. They all suffoed their strength to make the Japanese look good in the second half.
After the start of the second half, Fiorentina, who had led the game, immediately launched a fierce attack. In the 48th minute, Montolivo received a pass and the shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Yamaguchi.
Five minutes later, Maggio assisted Osaka Gamba with the ball and crossed the ball. Modric followed up in time and hit the ball away with a long shot.
Although they couldn't score again, Florence's stormy attack made Osaka Gamba's players unable to breathe. Not long after the second half, the players' faces were full of fatigue.
Finally, in the 75th minute, Fiorentina scored again. Montolivo made a diagonal pass in the midfield, and Degan unloaded the ball from his chest. He easily got rid of Satoshi Nakazawa's defense and made a low shot on the left side of the penalty area.
7:0!
After scoring the goal, Degan stood in the penalty area of Osaka Gamba, holding his hands high and enjoying the cheers of thousands of Fiorentina fans in the stands.
Some of those Japanese fans have begun to leave. Although the game is wonderful, it is a great shame for the Japanese with strong self-esteem to lose the game like this.
Pakinwa in the VIP seat also left and was beaten by Degan in front of so many people in the locker room, which made him hate Degan so much that he couldn't even more.
Three minutes later, Pasquale passed the ball on the left side, and Ledesma inserted a header and rewritten the score to 8:0.
However, this is not the final score. In the 79th minute, Modric passed the ball to Degan on the left, and Degan hit the ball directly behind him. After Pazzini received the ball, he half turned around and shot twice.
9:0!
The next game is completely meaningless. In order to avoid the losing Japanese playing killing tactics, Prandelli replaced Digan, Montolivo and Modric one after another.
At the end of the stage, Degan did not forget to continue to provoke the Japanese and waved his fingers at the stands around him. His meaning was obvious.
If you play football, you are still far behind!
After the game, Digan naturally became the focus of reporters. Although there were some Japanese around him, Digan did not mean to refuse.
When asked if he intended to humiliate Japanese football, Degan smiled: "Do you think so? Shouldn't the football match work hard to win?
Asked by Digan, the Japanese reporter who asked the question couldn't help blushing and obviously couldn't deny it.
Degan continued: "I don't think it's humiliating. I'm just doing my part as a player. I heard a lot of voices before the game. Some Japanese said that Gamba Osaka had a chance to win in front of Florence. I just told those who made this fantasy with practical actions that it's time to wake up. ! If you take this as a humiliation, okay! I admit that I did!"
Digan's words were sharp, and the Italian reporters present had already heard of it. Looking at those Japanese colleagues eating, they also smiled secretly.
Then someone asked about their views on the finals. Degan replied, "The University of Quito is a strong opponent. We have to be careful to deal with them."
Degan said this, which directly made the Japanese reporters present angry. Be careful to deal with Quito University, and don't pay attention to Osaka Gamba at all. Isn't this still looking down on Japanese football?
In response to the protest of Japanese journalists, Degan sneered and said, "Why should I talk against Osaka Gamba? I really don't need to waste too much energy. This is a gap in strength. The score of this game has proved all this. Also, don't talk about spiritual power to me anymore! I will come here again next year. If your spiritual strength is really useful, I am looking forward to it. Next time I come here, a Japanese team will defeat me! If you can't do this, shut up now, don't say anything, and you don't have the right to complain in front of me!"
9:0!
After the end of this game, the Japanese media mourned everywhere. Listening to the tone of those people, it was simply the end of the world. Although the tone was a little exaggerated, there was no doubt that this fiasco must have dealt a big blow to Japanese football.
Before the game, he vowed to win the championship of this World Club Cup, but after a game, it was like being poured with cold water on his head during the Spring Festival.
Only the Japanese can experience it patiently.
Digan did not return to the hotel after the game. He really didn't want to see Pakinwa's ugly face. He called Park Zhiyan and made an appointment to play.
This scene was naturally discovered by a powerful reporter, and then continued to ferment in the spread of the media. It seems that Digan's little girlfriend can't refute it.
