The Italian coach focuses in attack on the Brazilians Marcos Leonardo and Malcom. Renato’s Carioca on the Cano bomber
He could have been the replay of the 2023 Champions League final between Inter and City. Or, more intriguing, Simone Inzaghi against his former Nerazzurri boys. Instead, Chivu’s new Inter failed the assault on the quarter-finals, as even more surprisingly the city of Guardiola, repeated laundry (4-3) by the Al Hilal of Simone. So at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando tonight there is a first quarter to surprise: Fluminense-Al Hilal.
What a positive series
–
Renato Gaucho’s flon, with satisfaction and malice, recalled that he is not only a former Playboy but a shrewd technician. He alternated in this World Cup a 4-3-3 basic, then retouched in 3-5-2 against Inter in the round of 16, to mirror himself with the Milanese. Putting men in the middle. And he was right. His Carioca Tricolor has not only gained almost 40 million euros in prizes – half of the value of the squad – but after the PSG the less perforated club has turned out: only 2 goals conceded by Olsan and then 3 matches to be unbeaten. And in total there are 10 races that the flon does not lose, with 7 wins; From 11 May with Atletico Mineiro (2-3). Today Renato Gaucho must replace René disqualified: to see if he proposes the classic 4-3-3 with Serna or Canobbio in the front band or the 3-5-2 anti-Inter, which soon became 5-3-2, perhaps inserting Bernal or Fuentes or Guga on cover.
Braziliro derby
–
Simone Inzaghi’s Al Hilal always has his most representative Saudi Salem at Dawsari out for a month, the man who in 2022 at the World Cup marked at Argentina di Messi and in the last Asian Champions League he closed Cannoniere with 10 centers. The Italian technician took advantage of it to turn to his beloved 3-5-2, after starting with a 4-3-3 standard for the Saudis. With the backwarding of the Portuguese Ruben Neves on the line of defenders a more vertical team came out, which has already scored 6 goals, such as the Fluminense. In which the two Brazilian strikers have enhanced: for them today it will be a derby. Marcos Leonardo, 22 years old, ex Santos, paid 40 million to Benfica, has so far signed three goals to the World Cup, with a brace at the City. The former Russian Zenit Malcom, 28 years old, cost 60 million at the club of the Saudi Pif sovereign fund, had started from Corinthians, and also scored him at Pep’s Manchester. In addition but behind it is the full -back Renan Lodi, 27 years old, former Atletico Madrid and Atlético Paranaense, paid 23 million to Marseille.
Bomber
–
Simone’s Al Hilal, who does not lose from 9 games (4 with Italian), of which 6 wins – from the derby at the end of April in the Asian Champions League with the Ahli of Kessie, then champion – beating the City in extra time has become the first Asian team to win against a European training in the Club World Championship, after being the second to beat a South American, the Flamengo in 2023. This point dreams costs nothing: if the flon inzaghi also beat an affordable semifinal against the winner of Palmeiras-Celsea. In short, always better than Real, PSG or Bayern … Meanwhile Inzaghi will also be able to count on the temporary loan of Abderrazak Hamdallah from the Al Shabab, a semi -finalist at the 2022 World Cup with Morocco. The 34 -year -old striker, 21 league goals in the last season by closing the scorers behind the Cristiano Ronaldo (25 goals) and Ivan Toney (23), will be available only for the duration of the Club World Cup. In the past he has also dressed in Al Nassr and Al Ittihad shirts, signing in Arabia in total 207 goals in 232 games. In short, with Salem at Dawsari Ko what was needed for the Saudi Blue. The FLA will respond with the Colombian Arias, a surprise of this World Cup, and the 37 -year -old Argentine Cano, returned from an injury, but in 2022 and 2023 capable of marking 84 goals. It will be a great challenge.
