The Italian chose seniority to play in the semifinal of the Club World Cup where there was no margin for error after the defeat against Mallorca. The white team came out in command against an Al Ahly who was very clear on how he should play. Lunin’s back is strong and goes quickly to the goal. And that plan worked well for him, especially when he realized that Real Madrid was less fierce than he had painted. A lot of ball handling, but not at all. The only one trying something different is Vinicius and Rodrygo that with every touch they put the Al Ahly defenders in danger. The two Brazilians were the joy of a sad Real Madrid who saw how the Egyptian team had up to three chances to score.

He had them thanks to the fact that they found a highway by the band Camavinga which he repeated as left back.

That was how the half-hour ended and after the restart, Al Ahly’s intention to equalize was promptly halted by Valverde’s goal in the 47th minute. Play and shot by Rodrygo cleared by the goalkeeper of the African team. The ball reached Valverde which did not fail to make it 0-2 on the scoreboard that brought Real Madrid closer to the final of the Club World Cup. Faced with this situation, Al Ahly gave up on tactics and turned to the attack to generate several opportunities that did not end in goals. The script of that game, tomorrow, was beneficial for Real Madrid to take advantage of the speed of Vinicius and Rodrygo to definitely close the game. Of course, Ancelotti’s men also looked at times to minimize risks in an effort to have more of the ball and slow the momentum of Al Ahly, who were not awarded a penalty for a tackle in wineryIt seemed like a maximum penalty, but VAR did not correct the referee’s decision not to signal 11 meters.
