In the second round of the Club World Cup group stage, Porto will play against Miami International. Before the game, Porto coach Anselmi attended the press conference.

vs. Miami International

"We will face a team that likes to control the ball. They have players with brilliant resumes and know how to create threats. Therefore, the key to the game is that we must try to control the game through position, master the ball and remain aggressive when off the ball. In order to win three points."

Several Argentine players in the opponent's team

"I have repeatedly thought about how to prepare for the game against Messi. But now we have decided to focus on ourselves: restoring physical fitness and studying how to regain the ball. The longer the ball is, the less damage the opponent causes. Of course, facing them is an additional challenge and a way to pay tribute to this profession."

Porto has stronger tactics?

"Football is a contest between eleven people and eleven people. The so-called 'stronger' needs to be proved on the court. Teams with superior strength on paper in this game may not necessarily win. We are clear about the goal and understand our own historical background and the weight of the team logo. We did not reach our ideal state against Palmeiras, and we lacked continuous game rhythm after experiencing holiday rest, which is incomparable. The players in these days have recovered from their state. We prepared for the game through image analysis and finally put it into practice."

Messi

"For the Argentinian, Messi brought countless joy. But as an opponent, he is just an ordinary player who needs to focus on guard and limit his touch. Be able to approach victory. The key is to focus on ourselves. Our defensive strategy does not rely on single-man marking, the focus is to cut off their ribs and tandem channels. "

Ustari, Mascherano, Messi

"I have learned about Mascherano and Ustari through their careers. Although I have no personal relationship, as a coach, I pay attention to Mascherano's trajectory. Miami International is a team that supports continuous progress, pays attention to position and is keen on the ball. As mentioned, our task is to block its transmission system, so as to control the ball and dominate the game. The so-called dominance is to remain aggressive and aim directly at the opponent's goal with the ball. "

The starting lineup has been determined?

"It will be announced tomorrow."

Based on the results of the first round of the group stage, is this game more critical?

"The next three games in the global competition system are important. If the first game is not good, it is very far from qualifying. Even if you win this game, you still need to get points in the last round. Therefore, we only focus on the present."

Balance of strength

"South American teams are always competitive, with a desire to win that never gives up, and have a profound foundation and full of honors. European teams seem to be troubled by the interruption of the schedule. The second round of the showdown will be very interesting."

Miami International's defensive conversion problem is prominent, will it focus on it?

"We target control the ball, and the defensive deployment is all for this. Of course, deep defense will gain more space, but if there is no convenience, we will not take the initiative to retreat. Against Palmeiras, we partially adopt mid- and low-level defense and launch a conversion counterattack. We will implement targeted strategies tomorrow, knowing that it is unrealistic to fully control the game. In addition, it should be noted that rapid defensive conversion is not only a problem for Miami International, but is the same for all teams."
