Al Ahly-Inter Miami 0-0 in the inaugural aprite of the Club World Cup

The Club World Cup finally started, without the rag of a goal between Egyptians and Americans, but with fanfare rings, songs and dances. And where did the carousel began to go around, if not in the city where the captain of the national champion national champion plays? The problem, if anything, is that Leo cannot be the Messi of the Qatar for an entire match and must now be content to light up only with flashes. And then his Inter Miami, cradled from above by Sir David Beckham, started definitely badly and had to patiently trace the current against a difficult to Ahly. Inter Miami had the capital fault of giving the Egyptian team completely once, before arranging itself in the second half in a jolt of pride and in turn touched the advantage.

In this inaugural race of the new FIFA competition, for the first 45 ‘and not more, the Egyptian team, a kind of Real Madrid of Africa: won the Champions League 12 times and the Scudetto for 45 and is now relaunched on the bench by José Riveiro, thus made the part of the lion. At the end of May, the Spanish coach was good at preparing the challenge with a very quick 2+1 attack and a trio of medians, Ben Romdhane -Attia -Fathi, skilled in recovery and restart. His colleague Javier Mascherano, another old companion of Messi, overwhelmed in the first 45 ‘, was instead skilled at least to straighten the course in the second half. At the end of the fair, the best of the world debut were their two goalkeeper: Usters of Inter Miami in the first half, El Shenawy of the Ahly in the second.

African first half

–

At the beginning of the match, Messi’s team held, yes, the ball, but in a very sterile way, in a school 4-4-2 and sonnenecious, however leaving the opponents more on the ball physically. Not only did the formation from Florida never managed to trigger the other falling star, Luis Suarez (the connection with Busquets is far from the electrical one of the Catalan times), but has suffered restarts on restarts with those devils of Ashour, who came out very soon by injury after a devoured goal, and Trezeguet: good surname not mind, like his past at the Aston Villa. In front, however, the Egyptians found themselves Usari, yet another Argentine of the group, in a prodigy version: three times out, it was saving, but above all he saved a penalty in Trezeguet. A goal canceled to the center forward Abou Ali should be added who, curiosity of destiny, was also the best of his defense: on the only occasion of Inter Miami to expired time, it was he who removed the ball from the Allende head with an incredible acrobatics.

The recovery

–

The second half, however, was that of the ascent from Miami. Masking immediately put his hands forward by replacing his full -back Aviles, in Odor di Rosso (he had been pardoned), but above all raised the engine laps. His team has become so less compassy and predictable, more alive, to the point that he ended up knocking often at the Egyptian gate: the initial opportunity came on an Allende deviated tap-in, then put, without ever stunning as in the past, he simply returned to being himself. He made Miami’s stadium shout at the goal with a clever punishment and, with some scattered play, often as a detention, he raised the rest of the company (but not Suarez or Busquets). Also for this reason, African midfielders mistreated him if necessary. The entry of the Baby Cremaschi, an Argentine naturalized American of which wonders are told, brought little or nothing, while another great opportunity for the Americans has happened on the head of the newly enthusiast Picault. Exactly at that moment he started the final show El Shenowy, who rejected the head of the head on Cross, obviously, left from Leo’s foot. And always him, the flea, also chipped the crossbar on another cross from afar, who fell like a meteorite on goal. In this case, the Egyptian goalkeeper put a hand to us, while in recovery he also added his face: the detour on the pumpkin of the Riccio Falcon was bizarre, but decisive. It ended like this, with a 0-0 still fun, son of a time dominated each, and with the applause of the president of Fifa in the stands. Gianni Infantino would have, perhaps, wanted that he had toasted himself with goals to his new creature, but on his sides he still had Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio. The worst companions have been seen to compose a trident, or even just to look at a game of Soccer.
