The first round of the Club World Cup ended with a positive performance for the Brazilian teams: none of them lost. Flamengo's good start, which saw them beat Espérance , Fluminense, Botafogo and Palmeiras, even caught the attention of Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's coach , who praised the clubs and valued the level of the competition held in the United States.
Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso on Flamengo and the Brazilians at the World Cup: "They are strong teams and difficult to face"
“Yes, I liked the Brazilian teams. They didn’t surprise me, but the truth is that they are at a very good level . Palmeiras, Botafogo, Flamengo and Fluminense. They are strong teams and difficult to face. They have always shown great level in international tournaments,” said the Spanish coach.
In the same interview, Alonso also highlighted the value of the new competition organised by FIFA: “For all of us, it’s something new. We already have the World Cup for national teams, which is huge, but we can also make this Club World Cup something great. We’re bringing together teams from all continents, and that brings global football closer together . Sometimes we focus too much on Europe and think that the rest of the world doesn’t exist, but that’s a mistake. Outside of Europe, there are many strong clubs, and the tournament gives us the chance to measure our strength against them,” added the Real Madrid coach.
Xabi Alonso's statements are at odds with the recent stance of Javier Tebas , president of LaLiga, who harshly criticized the tournament and stated that he intends to prevent the holding of future editions of the new competition, which has pleased the general public.
“ My goal is to make sure there is no more Club World Cup , that is very clear to me. I didn’t watch any games. Well, I watched a bit of Chelsea yesterday, and it felt like a summer friendly. No intensity, just running, at least in the 25 minutes I watched,” said Tebas.
In their debut, the Brazilian clubs had two wins and two draws . On Sunday (15), Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Porto (POR), while Botafogo beat Seattle Sounders (USA) 2-1. On Monday (16), Flamengo debuted with a 2-0 victory over Espérance (TUN), and Fluminense drew 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund (GER).
Real Madrid, now led by Xabi Alonso after Carlo Ancelotti left for the Brazilian national team, makes its World Cup debut this Wednesday (18). The opponent will be Al-Hilal (SAU), with the ball rolling at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami.
Victory over Internacional in the Libertadores puts Mengão above the main teams in European football, such as the Spanish team and the French champions.
