Chapter 308 The Club World Cup strikes
After securing the top spot in the group, Zhang Chong led the team directly to Reading in Berkshire, preparing to challenge Reading away.
The interval between these two games is only two days, and it is a cross-border battle, which inevitably makes people worry about Bury's state.
Fortunately, the thickness of Bury's lineup is not bad, even the players on the bench can still guarantee the normal output of the team.
In this game, Zhang Chong lined up a pure substitute lineup, and the protagonist of this game is Keane.
He completely blasted the opponent's right back in the game, sent three assists, and completed a goal-grabbing goal.
Comrade Ivan Tony in the middle lane was also fed to his full, completing a hat-trick!
Bury also beat his opponent with a score of [-] to [-]!
Then, Bury returned home for the last game of the group stage, hosting Atletico Madrid.
Since both teams have already qualified, and the rankings are also determined, this game has become a full-fledged friendly match.
Antoine Hill returned to his hometown where he has worked hard for many years and was welcomed by the fans.
The big back is also very particular, and he was replaced in about 10 minutes of the second half, so that he could feel the enthusiasm of the fans.
And this game is also very harmonious. Most of the two sides are substitutes and youth team players, mainly pure training.
In the end, in a peaceful environment, the two sides drew one to one.
This is a happy game for both sides, hello, hello, everyone, and the main players got a rest.
After playing this friendly match, Bury went to an away game to challenge Stoke City. Bury played very mediocre in this game and was eventually tied [-]-[-] by Stoke City.
Fortunately, Manchester City behind them was also tied by Liverpool, and Bury remained at the top of the standings.
After Bury finished playing this game, he will leave for the UAE to participate in the 2018 Club World Cup!
Although for Bury, the opponent in this kind of game is not very strong, but the meaning is completely different.
This is a competition that only champion clubs from all continents can participate in!
But it is a pity that the Asian champions are not Chinese teams, and Zhang Chong has no chance to compete with them (abuse them).
In December, Britain was already shivering with bitter wind and rain, but the UAE was still over 20 degrees, which is not too cool.
The players came to the UAE and got a rare day of free time.
Zhang Chong told them that they could play, but they could not drink or make trouble.
So the players ran away in an instant with a loud voice.
Zhang Chong didn't go out, he nestled in the hotel and began to look through the opponent's information.
Their opponent in the semi-finals is the African team Tunisia Hope, and there is no one Zhang Chong is familiar with.
It seems that their strength is not strong, and most of the team are also Tunisian players.
Zhang Chong didn't pay too much attention to this team, he paid more attention to the opponent in the final.
With a high probability, the opponent in the final will be the American team.
The American team participating this time is the Mexican American team.
In this team, the two people who caught his attention the most were goalkeeper Ochoa and striker Mene.
Zhang Chong was a little surprised that Menet, one of the four little swans in France, came to Mexico.
It seems that the French are quite interested in Mexico. Before that, France's Gignac played for the Mexican Tigers at his peak and played for many years.
As for Ochoa, he is really a miraculous person, every World Cup will explode, once he is beaten crazy by him, there will be some troubles.
But generally speaking, Bury's strength far exceeds these two teams. As long as they play normally, there is no problem!
The time has come to December 2018, 12, the day of the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
In this game, Zhang Chong arranged a rotation lineup. He wanted all the players on the roster to have a chance to play.
And Bury's substitute lineup is also enough to deal with this African champion. Bury has an absolute advantage on the field throughout the game, making the opponent unable to counterattack.
In the end, Bury easily defeated his opponent [-]-[-] and entered the final.
This game can be said to be bloodless. The African teams are quite different in terms of technical ability and tactical quality. The only reason for not scoring a few more goals is that Bury's luck is a little bit worse.
Zayed Sports City Stadium, Abu Dhabi, December 2018, 12.
The Club World Cup final proceeded as scheduled.
Zhang Chong deployed the full main lineup in this game to ensure that the final is foolproof.
And the Mexican American team also showed the temperament of the Libertadores Cup champion immediately after the start of the game. They did not hesitate to face the powerful Bury, but fought against each other!
In the first three and 10 minutes of the game, the two sides came and went, playing brilliantly.
Especially Mene, he can still vaguely see the shadow of that genius boy in the few times he handled the ball in the frontcourt.
It's a pity that his professional attitude and career planning ultimately prevented him from reaching the expected heights.
Under his tandem, Mexico and America also created two or three good opportunities. If it weren't for Mendy's outstanding performance, Bury might have conceded the ball.
Zhang Chong couldn't help but frown, it seemed that the opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his estimation.
But he didn't panic, after all, Bury's strength was obviously much higher.
Sure enough, in the No.303 minute, the balance on the field was broken!
Mbappe broke through the defense of right back Aguilar from the left and chose an oblique plug. Harland understood it and caught the ball in the penalty area and shot directly from a small angle!
The ball unexpectedly hit an upper corner, and Ochoa couldn't react at all!
One to zero!
This is also the shortcoming of a short goalkeeper. He is fast on the ground and like a high ball.
And Zhang Chong also discovered that Ochoa's state in this game seems to be mediocre!
Sure enough, in the No.401 minute, Chen Ming's long-range shot caused Ochoa to drop the ball, and Harland easily scored with a supplementary shot!
Two to zero!
After Mexico and America fell behind [-]-[-], the team's state has dropped significantly, and they have been unable to form a confrontation with Bury!
In 6 minutes, Traore broke through from the right to the bottom. He did not choose to pass the high ball to the middle of the penalty area, but directly passed the inverted triangle to the edge of the penalty area.
Chen Ming followed up with a volley, rewriting the score to three to zero!
No.608 minutes, Bury got a corner kick, after Cheng Sichu took it, Maguire jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!
Ochoa is still watching the ball and sighing!
His state in this game is very average, which is why he has not been favored by big clubs.
The status is unstable!
And Bury, who led [-]-[-], also replaced Joao Mario on the field, and his face was familiar.
In this way, the 23 players Zhang Chong brought over have all played records.
And at the last moment of the game, Joao Mario picked up a leak in front of the goal and fixed the score at five to zero!
This is an unexpected victory!
