It is difficult to understand the Club World Cup on July 1 to thousands of kilometers. No one in their healthy judgment, unless he is on vacation or insomn, would have stayed spending for a Manchester City – to Hilal, as perhaps he would do it for some eighths of the World Cup of selections. But the development of the tournament that FIFA has invented record is generating interest through surprises. There were all the ingredients so that it was: on the one hand, clubs in 'post-temporad' mode; on the other, squads willing to dissolve Eurocentrism.
To the Hilal dynamite the transition of the city
The first surprises arrived in the group stage. Although the term used to designate eliminations that have their arguments cannot always be the same. It was not a surprise for Atlético, who arrived in a state of languor that began with the double penalty of Julián Álvarez. Or the skidding of an opporting port to compete in your country with a coach like Martín Anselmi, whom Big Data's arguments have lasted just a few months. The list of victims has continued to expand in the qualifiers.
Guardiola intended to afford to build a new Manchester City in the Club World Cup, giving entrance and testing signings such as Cheki, Ait-Nouri or Reijnders. However, Simone Inzaghi worried about dismantling the 'onboarding' of the new 'Skyblue' players with an imperial hilal that confirmed the worst year of Guardiola since he is trainedr. A defeat that, logically, fed the sides policy that unleashes any victory or stumbling of coaches or teams that have been winners in recent years.
Like Inter himself, who has seen how his former coach advanced on the Saudi highway leaving Chivu behind and a team that, from the Champions League final, has lived in the continuous conflict. “Here you have to want to stay. Understood? Because here we fight for objectives. The message is clear: the one who wants to stay, the one who wants to go to leave. I have seen many things that I did not like, “said Lautaro, after falling eliminated against Fluminense, burning Inter with the approval of its president, Giuseppe Marotta.
The reproaches of Lautaro in Çalhanoglu
The recipient of that critical visceral was Hakan çalhanoglu. It was not necessary to mention it. “We lost and hurt. I lived it sadly, not only as a footballer, but as someone who really cares about this team. Despite the injury, immediately after the final whistle I called some of my colleagues to make them feel my support. Because when you worry, that's what you do. But what struck me most were the words that came later. Hard words Words that divide, not that unite, “the Turk defended himself.
The Club World Cup was an poisoned tournament, to which all possible excuses could be put on: the calendar, the accumulated minutes, the heat … but at the time of truth, see a 3-4 against you after an extension with two goals on your roof has caused in the city an earthquake equivalent to that of a elimination in Champions. Above all, because there is always a millimeter radiography of spending on signings, which was extended before the international tournament. Logically, reinforcements were not for the short term, but in that small distance it is where they have received their first big blow.
Chelsea, the rival to beat on one side of the painting
The mood blow that supposes for teams such as City or Inter losing against other continents rivals is inversely proportional to the joy unleashed in teams such as Fluminense or the Hilal. The first, with a brave proposal, which shows the strength of the Brazilian character that has allowed two of its representatives to be in the quarterfinals. The other, El Palmeiras, winner of a fratricidal duel with the Botafogo. Along the way he stayed Flamengo after facing his face against Bayern, so far, the only one capable of applying European pragmatism.
Al Hilal's victory plays out of competition. It is the release of a gold cage that has been the result of a very different process from that established as a prototypical from the European perspective. The recent movements of the most laureate club in Arabia have been: a coach, Simone Inzaghi; and two local league players. No millionaire dispenses without focus, although the ambition to sign the best is maintained.
Because there is extensive work behind and years, with signings such as Malcom, Marcos Leonardo, Lodi, Cancelo, Milinkovic-Savic or a bono Extraordinary that would be the starter in any team of a Europe whose pain feeds the Club World Cup. The part of the painting with a Palmeiras – Chelsea and a Fluminense – Al Hilal is a blessing for the consolidation of a tournament mounted as fast as the expectations of equipment that came to experience and have ended up jumping through the air have been diluted.
