Palmeiras seeks to leave behind the lack of effectiveness that condemned him to the goalless draw against the FCPorto in his debut in the Club World Cup, and aspires to show a better offensive version this Thursday in front of the Egyptian Ahly. With figures such as Paulinho, Estêvão, Vitor Roque and the 'Flaco' López, the team led by Abel Ferreira returns to Metlife Stadium with the clear slogan: transform the domain into goals. The week has been of adjustments and emphasis on the definition, aware that a new storage would complicate its passage into a very close group.

In front they will have an injured Ahly, who lost to her maximum figure, Emam Ashour, for a fracture in the debut against Inter Miami. Although the Egyptians resisted in that first duel (0-0), the mood and sports blow that means the decline of their scorer leaves them in a delicate position in front of the powerful Brazilian club. José Riveiro, his coach, admitted that they are still far from his game ideal, and if they fail to add this Thursday, their classification will depend on a decisive duel against Porto on the last day.

Richard Ríos hopes to shine at the Club World Cup

Richard Ríos wants to shine again. After an outstanding presentation against Porto, the Colombian is emerging as one of the key pieces of Palmeiras for this Thursday's duel against Al-Ahly.

In a team full of young figures, the Antioquia steering wheel showed that he can also be the protagonist with his sober and effective game. He knows that the margin of error is minimal and that the semifinal classification is at stake, so he aspires to maintain the level shown in his debut and become a referent of midfield Verdão.

Its premiere at the Club World Cup left good feelings. In the goalless draw against Porto, he started and fulfilled with more recovery and the clean exit of the ball. He was even close to scoring in one of the clearest actions of the first half, after a collective play that forced the rival goalkeeper to a double save.

Ordered, participatory and tactically intelligent, Ríos made it clear that he is ready to assume responsibilities in the decisive times of the tournament.

Messi also plays

Inter de Miami plays much of its aspirations in the Club World Cup this Thursday against Porto at 2:00 pm (Colombian time), after a goals without goals against Al-Ahly in which he lacked forcefulness despite having Lionel Messi as a court leader.

Javier Mascherano's team, who let out the opportunity to impose himself before a rival hit by the decline in his figure, now faces a porto that also tied 0-0 with Palmeiras and demonstrated defensive solidity. In a totally matched group, Inter needs to add three to not reach the closing against Brazilians with the committed classification. The game is also given by Dazn and Dsports.
