The 45-year-old famous coach is a god: 5 major tactics are cleverly defeating the universe team, and the second championship is won

At the Metropolitan Stadium, 81,118 spectators witnessed the birth of the new version of the Club World Cup championship. Palmer scored twice, Joao Pedro also scored 1 goal, and Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 and was crowned the world champion. This is not unpopular, but it is completely better than unpopular. 45-year-old Chelsea coach Maresca successfully directed a perfect showdown, winning the second championship trophy he won after coaching Chelsea.

Before the final of the Club World Cup, almost everyone focused their attention on Paris Saint-Germain. The team coached by Enrique had previously acted like arrogant monsters, sweeping Atletico Madrid, Bayern and Real Madrid with amazing postures. However, Chelsea's promotion path seemed relatively easy and did not encounter any truly top giants.

However, in this final, Maresca's tactical arrangement was perfect. When defending, Chelsea adopted a 532 formation, firmly locking the space in the midfield and backcourt, and successfully limiting the dribbling breakthroughs of Dembele and Due. In the first half, Dembele was almost invisible and could not play a role.

In the semi-finals, the key to Paris' 4-0 victory over Real Madrid was that Real Madrid made two mistakes and conceded the ball, while Chelsea learned from experience and showed a more focused and targeted defensive strategy. On the offensive end, Maresca successfully found Paris' weakness. As Ashraf and Nuno Mendes were too far ahead on the wing, Chelsea took advantage of the counterattack and quickly seized the opportunity. Maresca instructed goalkeeper Sanchezdo to make a long pass, and his first goal came from his accurate long pass to Gustto, opening up the offensive channel. In this game, Sanchez made 26 long passes, 9 of which were successfully in place. In this regard, he only had 8 long passes in each game against Palmeiras in the quarter-finals and Fruminense in the semifinals, with the change being extremely obvious.

In addition, Chelsea adopted the tactic of "avoiding" Paris oppression, allowing them to better counterattack in the offense. As we all know, Paris has a strong high pressure ability in the frontcourt, but Chelsea chose not to get entangled with it and avoided pressure by relying on long passes in the backcourt. They actively ran and used the 325 formation to implement anti-oppression tactics. Gustto and Cucurelia from the left frequently intervened, forming an effective response to Neto, Palmer and Joao Pedro in the frontcourt, forcing Donaruma to launch a long pass, thus disrupting Paris' offensive and defensive rhythm.

Maresca effectively limited Paris' attack power through five clever tactics, achieving this strategic success. From changing the defense line, enhancing offensive efficiency to stabilizing backcourt operation, every deployment of his has achieved fruitful results. Facts have proved once again that Chelsea cannot be underestimated. This team has always had the tradition of "specializing in playing elites and strangling the universe team". From the majestic Bayern defeated in 2012 to the perfect knockout of Manchester City in 2021, this Club World Cup event has written a new chapter for how Chelsea defeated a strong opponent. From Dimateo, Tuchel to Maresca today, their three classic battles in the past 13 years will be recorded in history.
