All easy for the bianconeri in Washington: braces by Kolo Muani and Conceiçao, goal by Yildiz. Palo by Douglas Luiz in 90 ‘
It will have been the good luck of Donald Trump’s special wolf, who despite the conflict in the Middle East found the time to host the team to the White House, or the motivational presence of John Elkann, who arrived on purpose in the United States to witness live at the debut of his lady. The fact is that Juventus began its club world championship with bubbles and fireworks. The expense was the tender at Ain, crashed already in the first half and mission completed in the second: 5-0 and first place in the group together with the City, which however made only two goals.
Juve-Al Ain, all decided in the first half
–
Elkann will certainly have fun together with President Fifa Gianni Infantino, with whom he saw the game. Net of the opponent’s littleness, the club of the Arab Emirates unable to oppose the slightest resistance in front of a European team, Juventus did everything and well, putting us intensity, game and pure attention, as Igor Tudor had asked on the eve. And to think that the Al Ain at the dawn of the match had tried to feed the lady with a shot on the door of Zabala. From 11 onwards, minute of the first kolo Muani network, it was all a black and white symphony. All the attackers, from French to Conceiçao (both brace) to Yildiz: the Turk this season has made 5 out of 5, goals in all the competitions played by Juventus. The first half ended 4-0, opened by the winning pumpkin of Kolo Muani, good at jumping higher than everyone, and closed by a surgical diagonal always of the tip for rent by the PSG, served by the giant of the median Thuram. Beautiful the first goal, the result of a choral action that started from Conceiçao and attended 5 players of the lady, with assist from Alberto Costa, very lively on the right lane.
Juve, Yildiz’s goal at the Al Ain

The Portuguese side was also the protagonist on the occasion of the griffed doubling Conceiçao: soft touch with the left validated after a control of the VAR for a possible touch of hand. The real bijou, however, is the twenty meters shot of Yildiz – released in the second half among the applause to make way for Koopmeiners – who receives from Thuram, gets rid of an opponent and with his right he puts it in the corner.
Club World Cup, Juve wins and convinces
–
In the second half Tudor sends Weah and Douglas Luiz (for Cambiaso and Thuram) to the field and the Ain immediately touches the goal with Laba (the best of the Al Ain), stopped with one hand from Di Gregorio. Para Pure Rui Patricio, who denies the hat -trick to Kolo Muani, but before there had been the second exultation of a unleashed Conceiçao after a diagonal razor. In the end there is also room for Vlahovic and cats, but the last thrill is the pole hit by Douglas Luiz. Moral: the Juventus of the recovery is less perky than that of the first 45 ‘but there is, a little the sticky heat (very high humidity levels) a bit the result invite to manage and save the strength. The team gives something behind, however, overall wins and convinces, widening the field well and exploiting the depth in addition to the defensive amnesia of the Emiratini, and puts a nice tile for the passage of the round. Next stage Philadelphia, next Sunday against Wydad Casablanca.
