Since the start of the game, how does the Club World Cup feel to the fans?

From the perspective of watching the football, I would like to talk about my impressions of this Club World Cup since the start of the game, and my views on the several games that have been held.

Let’s talk about the attitude towards the competition first.

Judging from the opening match performance of Bayern, Paris, Atletico Madrid and other teams, these strong teams are not very motivated to the Club World Cup, and the players are not too serious in preparing for this event.

Bayern's side is too weak, and the players are walking on the court, slowly handling various balls, feeling like they are playing on the training ground, and Atletico Madrid and Paris are a little absent-minded.

, especially Atletico Madrid, performed particularly poorly.

Perhaps it was the daytime start, and it was difficult for players to adapt to the game against the big sun. Compared with the league and the Champions League, their running was much lazy, the players were not focused enough, and their awareness of assisting in defense and filling positions was also very slow. I feel that everyone did not say they were serious about facing the Club World Cup.

0:4 Losing to Paris, I don't think it's a "normal" game, I feel that Atletico Madrid has a bit of a self-deprecating taste.

Especially after Alvarez's goal was blown away, because of a foul in advance, the referee's penalty for not scoring the ball, and the morale of the entire team was declining. He had no intention of fighting in the second half of the game for dozens of minutes.

Have the attitude of wanting to get off work early.

Paris' third goal can be seen. Although the defensive position occupies a favorable position, the players did not want to actively fill up the positions or press, and some people started off halfway.

I doubt that all these players want to lose early, not that they want to win honors, but they are all on holidays.

It's no wonder that after a whole season of multi-line battles, the players were also very tired and wanted to take a break early. Suddenly, a Club World Cup came in in the middle. He had to play so many games, and no one was in a bad mood.

I think this mentality may appear in most strong teams, and they will show an ups and downs in the game style.

When morale is high, you can give you a big score; if you are in a low morale and don’t want to play, you may lose or lose, and you cannot use normal thinking to determine their status.

How to play football in the new environment and weather is also a test of all strong teams, and they need to play a few more games to adapt.

Secondly let me talk about the ornamentality of the competition.

Judging from the three games, the opening game was very exciting. The score of 0:0 did not score, but played back and forth, with each other offense and defense, which was more satisfying; but the viewing level of Bayern and Paris was not as good as Miami International in the two games.

In addition to the attitude issue I mentioned just now, the strength gap is too big and it is really tormenting to play together.

Look at Bayern's performance in winning Auckland City 10:0, it's purely a "half-court offensive and defensive drill". From the first minute of the game to the end of the game, Bayern played with his full siege skills to score goals.

vividly shows fans how a strong team breaks through intensive defense. Faced with such low-post defense, how should they attack if they don’t attack. Cut in, crossing the ball at 45 degrees on the wing, hitting a high ball with a second contact, etc., various means to show the diversity of breaking the deadlock.

How good is the goal? It looks good, but it also looks dull. There is no suspense about the outcome of the game. The rest is to enjoy the game calmly.

After all, there is still a lot of stimulation.

I can't imagine whether strong teams such as Manchester City and Chelsea will play big scores in the future. It is highly likely that the scene will be like those of Bayern, cutting melons and vegetables, and in the end, the Club World Cup will become a new round of "Champions League".

No wonder some fans would say that this Club World Cup is just a cover, it’s just a new "Champions League". If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be in the quarterfinals. More than 60% of the teams will be European teams, and other teams can only be foils.

In this way, after the Club World Cup, there will inevitably be a new round of discussions on the scale of the competition, event organization and other issues. Whether to reduce the number or reform the competition system requires research.

After all, no one wants to see that every game is a big score. If there are too many one-sided games, the value of the Club World Cup will be questioned by everyone and will also lead to controversy.

Let us watch the game while watching it slowly to see what trends will be in the future.
