Greatest idol in Flamengo's history, Zico shows enthusiasm for the competition
|
Captain of Flamengo na winning the 1981 Interclub World Cup, Zico gave an interview to FIFA to talk about the competition. During the chat, Fla's biggest number 10 showed approval for the changes made to the tournament. According to Zico, the new format will put the strongest teams in the world ahead, which enhances the competition and increases the tournament's visibility.
– I think it's great (the new format) because it gives everyone more visibility, and the clubs deserve it. It's good to participate in a competition like this. It's a tournament that everyone will also find more difficult and more balanced, because you have to face the biggest teams in world football. I'm totally in favor of this – said Zico.
Since 2005, the Club World Cup has followed the format with the winner of the Libertadores and the winner of the Champions League entering the semi-finals, while champions from Asia, Oceania and Africa went through earlier stages. However, the 2024 edition was the last along these lines.
From 2025 onwards, FIFA will start treating the tournament with a proposal similar to the World Cup for national teams, involving 32 teams in total. The teams will be divided into eight groups, and the leader of each will go to the quarterfinals, thus continuing in the knockout games until defining the champion.
Flamengo, for having won the Copa Libertadoresof America in 2022, has already guaranteed a place in the tournament. In addition to him, Palmeiras and Fluminense, who won the tournament in 2021 and 2023, respectively, are also going to the World Cup. It is worth noting that there is still a South American team to guarantee itself in the dispute and, according to the criteria considered by FIFA, the tendency is for River Plate (ARG) to qualify.
Meanwhile, in Europe, teams such as Real Madrid (ESP), Manchester City (ING) and Chelsea (ING) are already guaranteed, thus being considered favorites for the tournament title.
