The Fluminense enters the semifinals of the Club World Cup. On the other hand, the race of the Al Hilal of Simone Inzaghi ends in Florida, in Orlando, in the quarterfinals. In the round of 16, the Fluminense had eliminated Inter, until 31 May trained by Inzaghi. Pari Brazilian condicio for the “reprobes” of the defeat in the Champions League final. Renato Portaluppi’s Fluminense, Old Meteora of Rome, prevented the two now antagonists, Inter and Inzaghi, of toh the Monaco of Bavaria and to take an immediate revenge. For what we have seen, Inter should “accollae himself” the greatest amount of regrets, the Fluminense is a solid and mulled, but not unsurpassed team. Let’s put it this way: if we had been at the beginning of the season, Inzaghi’s Inter would have eliminated both the Fluminense and the Al Hilal, but we are in July and the air is full of toxins, slag and poisons. Coming to tragically more serious things: before the street, during the minute of silence for the death of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, their compatriots of the Al Hilal, the Portuguese Cancelo and Ruben Neves, broke out crying. For these two boys it must not have been easy to play immersed in pain.

Many yawns, a magic

Almost mirrored sides, in the name of prudence. Fluminense with the 3-5-2, to the Hilal idem, indeed worse: 5-3-2, with the exteriors Cancelo and Harbi crushed backwards. In the first half hour, a boring phase of waiting and study, in the name of coming forward, so I hit you on the counterattack. In the one nor the others, however, they attacked, even if around half an hour the fluminense began to send some shy signal and a lot of courage, so to speak, coast, it was rewarded. On a cross from the right, Ruben Neves rejected badly, Cancelo postponed worse and the ball came to Manuel Martinelli who freed a magical accident at the crossroads. The disadvantage forced the Al Hilal to arouse from the torpor and the head koulibaly, on punishment from the right, forced the 44 -year -old Fabio to another parade that shows how age is sometimes a number and that’s it. Following the episode of the penalty for the Al Hilan, whistled live and canceled via Var: correct revision, in our opinion, Leonardo went down too ease on the random, not even negligent contact with Xavier.

Errors and protests

The recovery has been opened, the tactical filters are quite skipped. Assaults and contraxters. The Al Hilal toured immediately, on corner, inzaghi’s Inter from the flag also significantly reappeared abundant networks. On the corner of the right, Koulibaly in the center -forward version is stopped and his header with a little houseness has turned into an assist for Leonardo Solo Soletto in the small area. Shortly thereafter, Lodi, with a wretched backstage, launched a cano towards the Al Hilal door, but Bono harded the ball. Al Hilal, like Inzaghi’s last Inter, does not shine for defensive permeability, as shown by the 2-1 goal. Lodi, still he, raised badly, was born a daring attack of the Fluminense, closed on the net by a diagonal of Hercules, who entered the interval, and on Monday, the author of the 2-0 against Inter. On 2-1, Al Hila poured forward. Koulibaly made almost the center forward and a certain point was pulled down in the area, but the referee and varists evaluated perhaps that it had been the former Napoli defender who committed Fallo first. The peroteste of Inzaghi and his own understandable, the penalty of the possible 2-2 would not have been scandalous. In observing the confused ending, with the Al Hilal to launch balls in the area and with the alleged fluminense, voted for a chain that made a lot of Italy sixties, the regret for Inter grew: this part of the scoreboard was within the reach of the Nerazzurri, but it is probable, not to say certainly, that on this World Cup they engraved the weather, the heat and humidity. Let’s take into account for 2026, when the true world championship will be played between the USA, Canada and Mexico. If Italy qualified, it could inherit the part of the Fluminense, why not?
