Real Madrid and Juventus, two historic European teams that have faced on 21 occasions, will be measured on Tuesday in Miami in an original stage, the New Club World Cup, with the pass to rooms at stake.
Both teams will attend the Hard Rock Stadium with different dynamics after the group stage.
The meringues, first of the H key, reach more to more. After granting a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal in its debut, they showed solidarity and efficacy to impose themselves 3-1 with Pachuca playing almost the entire game with one less.
His last match against Salzburg (3-0) was the best performance of Xabi Alonso's men, who will try to confirm their progress against a rival of another category like Juve.
The Italians, on the other hand, exceeded the first two days with ease in front of the Ain Emiratí (5-0) and the Moroccan Wydad (4-1), before sinking into their first serious test of the championship against Manchester City, which thrashed them 5-2.
More than the defeat against the Pep Guardiola team, one of the World Cup favorites, the attitude of the Bianconeri, without legs or ideas to stop the English gale.
With a short time ahead, Igor Tudor's men will have to improve a lot against Madrid. The meringues, in a period of readjustment after the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, have dangerous players in each line and usually raise the level in the matters that matter.
The premiere of Mbappé?
In Miami, Xabi Alonso will have perhaps for the first time in the tournament to Kylian Mbappé, who has returned to collective training after the group stage for a gastroenteritis.
“We want it back as soon as possible and in the best possible conditions,” said the coach on his striker after the match against Salzburg. “We need Kylian because he is a Top player.”
Waiting for the French striker -Pichichi of the European League and Golden Boot-, Alonso formed the attack with Junior Vinícius and the surprising Canterano Gonzalo García (21 years old), author of two goals in the competition.
The Brazilian end, which tries to leave behind a season in which he played a lot below his level, seems to have found the path of the return. Against Salzburg signed a great game, with a goal from center forward and perfect assistance, heel, for both Federico Valverde.
He was also seen defending with the rest of the team as almost never this season, in which he was criticized for his lack of commitment without ball. A joy for Alonso, who begins to leave his mark on Real Madrid.
In the last game, Alonso experienced with a defense of three and two lanes, altering the immovable 4-3-3 of Ancelotti. The change of system gave him good ball out, depth and benefited some players such as English Jude Bellingham, very dangerous from the midfielder.
Another novelty of the White coach has been the importance granted to the young Arda Güler, whom he has taken from the band to place him in the center of the field.
The clash against Juventus could offer an interesting duel of Turkish promises between him and the striker Yenan Yildiz, author of a good tournament and one of the few to stand out in the shipwreck against the City. A pass from the center of the field brought the second goal of the Bianconeri at the end of the match.
