This situation has not changed until Australia abandoned Oceania and joined the Asian Football Association. After all, Australia is alone in the Asian Football Association, and there is still EastWest competition in it.
West Asians look down on East Asia while East Asians look down on West Asia.
It is natural to be in high spirits to see the East Asian team Chengnanyi and the West Asians eliminated by Lazio.
Anyway, their team has long been eliminated, so they support Lazio now.
They don’t have any big Asia concept. We are all Asian teams, so we all need Asian brothers to cheer品茶. Only the China media are so naive …
China has regional disputes, not to mention the whole of Asia.
……
So Lazio will compete with Mazembe for the World Club Cup.
This is the first time that an African team has reached the final of the World Club Cup. Mazembe has also attracted media attention, and everyone is surprised.
Of course, the fans are not very happy, especially the neutral fansthey want to see the peak match between European football and South American football. Who wants to see African teams …
Chang Sheng knows this team quite well, because when Mazembe reached the World Club Cup final against Inter Milan, it also caused a media sensation. At that time, there were many articles introduced by Mazembe in the media, and Chang Sheng also read themhe just liked to read the information about the team that people didn’t know much about.
So he knows the situation of this team.
Few people are familiar with African football fans who are familiar with Ezra Malec, Tunisia Desert Star, Casablanca, Morocco, and Ghana Oak Heart, the mimosa in C? te d ‘Ivoire.
This football club, which was founded in 1939 by the then Lubashidu monks, has been the two giants in the Democratic Republic of Congo for the past half century. In 1967 and 1996, Mazembe Club was in the shadow of dictator Mobutu, and it won the African Champions Cup for two consecutive years. This great cause was not equalized by the Nigerian Elephants until 24 years ago.
However, since then, the African Champions Cup has been monopolized by clubs from North Africa and West Africa. Only the Vader team from Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, reached the finals twice and won the championship in 1973品茶. In the past 30 years, the North African and West African teams have divided 76 final seats, of which 67 have been involved in the past 13 African champions since the Orlando Pirates won the championship in South Africa in 1995.
Last year, Mazembe took part in the reformed African Champions League as the runnerup in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and won the African championship again after 41 years in Sudan’s Omdurman Crescent and Nigeria’s heartland. At that time, they were ambitious to go to Abu Dhabi World Club Cup, but they were accidentally eliminated by Posco in the first round, and then they were defeated by Auckland City, New Zealand for the fifth place.
This year Mazembe specially gave up the league and made a comeback in the African Champions League, and eliminated Alia Kabel and Tunisia hope team to win Africa again. This time, Mazembe learned the experience. First, Mazembe defended the quarterfinals. 1. Lectured in the semifinal in PaChookiat Sakveerakul, Mexico, against the champion of the Libertadores Cup Brazil International. After 53 minutes in the second half, Kabangu broke the deadlock. Five minutes before the end, Dioko Kaluyituka sealed the victory and reached the final in one fell swoop.
The African media spoke highly of Mazembe’s historic entry into the World Club Cup finals. They believed that this was no less than the milestone of Ghana’s winning the World Youth Championship in 29 years. The predecessor of the Intercontinental Cup World Club Cup has always been a rival in the finals of Europe and South America for 40 years, but this year Mazembe from Central Africa overthrew the monopoly of Europe and South America on the highest competition at the club level.
The head coach of this team is La Ndiaye, the former head coach of the Swiss national team in Segal, and it was only in September this year that he took over the team to replace the African Champions League group stage 3, which was defeated by Tunisia. He hoped that the French coach Gazto, but in just three months, he not only led the team all the way to win the African Champions Cup and the World Club Cup, but also achieved the achievements imagined by the former French. Ndiaye and his former Gazto both adopted a 433 attack formation, but most of the time it was actually a 451 conservatism, which was a bit like Mourinho.
Mazembe Africa has always been a team with deep pockets, but of course it can’t compete with Europe.
But they are really local tyrants in Africa.
Because they have a real local tyrant, the chairman of Mazembe Club is Moses Katubi, the first elected governor of Katanga, the largest province in southern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mazembe’s budget for the season is as high as $10 million, which is almost the sum of the budgets of top league clubs in all countries except South Africa!
At the same time, Katubi also spent $2 million to build a new stadium. Although the number of people has dropped from 35,000 to 10 million, this is the only seating stadium in the whole Democratic Republic of Congo and even the Middle East and Africa, which can meet the UEFA fourstar standard.
Almost all Mazembe members come from miners’ families in Katanga Province, and only foreign aid is also produced in neighboring Zimbabwe and Zambia. For a large number of teams in North Africa and West Africa that have made South America foreign aid, this is definitely the most localized teambuilding strategy. More importantly, the players are treated as European bulldozers. The salary expenditure is only $3.6 million in two years and has soared to $10 million in 21 years. Captain Mputu’s annual salary is as high as $500,000, which is the highest salary player in the whole African continentyou know that the top annual salary standard of Serie A team in Houdusse is only $500
This is the opponent that Lazio will meet in the final of the World Club Cup.
Chapter three hundred and twentysix African small team ambition
Chang Sheng is well aware of Mazembe’s strength and tactical style. His opponent is as naked as a beautiful woman in front of him. He can see it clearly.
So Chang Sheng thinks that this game should be very easy to win.
If it is Brazil International, he may be a little worried.
But now it’s Mazembe’s words … The final is just a formality …
If there is no surprise, the opponent should choose to stick to the penalty shootout in the game, which is the only way they can beat Lazio.
Lazio’s preparations are naturally aimed at opponents, and how to break them if they want to stick to their guns.
In fact, the Lazio coaching staff knows almost nothing about this team, so it is better to know about Chengnan Yihe, because at least Lazio played with Korean teams in the summer and knows a Korean football style.
But this is the first time for African team Lazio.
Although Changsheng knows this team, he knows more about this team through words, that is, media reports rather than game pictures.
The only information of the coaching staff is the video of Mazembe’s participation in the first two games of the World Club Cup.
They study tactics and formulate countermeasures for the players, all of which are videos of these two games.
Generally speaking, this kind of encounter can be done before the game.
But everyone’s mentality is very relaxed
Because it is obvious that Mazembe and Lazio are not in the same level, their strength is far from each other
You don’t need to know too much about this opponent, you just need to play at your own pace.
Everyone believes that Lazio can easily beat Mazembe if it is to play normally.
Before the World Club Cup final, Changsheng simply gave his players a halfday holiday and asked them to visit Abu Dhabi to see if there was anything to buy back for their families as Christmas gifts.
Lazio players are all smiling and relaxed when facing the reporter’s camera.
……
What is completely different from Lazio is Mazembe’s preparation.
Mazembe coach Ndiaye conducted closed training.
