TA: European teams encounter difficulties are good news for Club World Cup. The outside world has been worried that there is no suspense in the group stage
Six days since the start of this Club World Cup, the European Legion suffered a single-day double defeat for the first time, and Porto and Paris Saint-Germain failed one after another in just 8 hours. TA said that this is a benign signal for the overall development of the event. Because before, the outside world generally worried that the huge gap in strength between Europe and other continents may lead to a lack of competitive suspense in the group stage.
Miami International defeated Porto, breaking the myth of "European invincibility" for the first time, and Bottafogo's feat of overthrowing the Champions League championship is a milestone unpopularity that subverts the game pattern. Botafogo, a Brazilian powerhouse, not only built a solid defense line, but also repeatedly launched efficient counterattacks against Champions League champion Paris.
Most European teams often struggle to withstand Paris Saint-Germain's rapid offensive, but Botavgo showed a comparable physical strength for most of the game. As of that time, South American clubs had an unbeaten record of five wins and three draws against opponents from other continents.
Although the climate is more beneficial to some South American teams in the middle of the season, European powerhouses have realized that this Club World Cup is not as easy as they expected.
In addition, TA also discussed Enrique's arrangement of troops in this game. When Paris Saint-Germain faced Botafogo, Enrique chose to rest for several regular main players.
Gonzalo Ramos replaced the injured Dembele as center. The midfielder was separated by Mayulu and Zaire Emery on both sides of Vitinia. Lucas Hernandez and Berardo got the starting chance to replace Nuno Mendez and Marginhos to form the back line.
The effect is mixed. Although Paris controls the ball, it is difficult to break the deadlock. After Kvaratskhelia created two opportunities in the first 15 minutes, the team's offense mostly revolved around it. Gonzalo Ramos was invisible throughout the game.
Not long after the change of sides, Botafogo once again made another sharp counterattack posed a threat. Enrique could not bear it anymore. In the 55th minute, Balkora, Fabian, Neves and Mendes joined the battle.
This move effectively curbed Bottafogo's counterattack, but it was too late and had little effect. TA said that looking at the strong starts Paris has always been in the Champions League and the opportunities created in the first half of this game, Enrique rotated the main players on a large scale and failed to put all his pressure to score early, which is really questionable.
