6.21 Saturday Football Two Strings: 019 Inter Milan VS Urawa Red Diamond +023 Riverbed VS Monterrey

019 (Club World Cup) Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds

Inter Milan has shown a significant downward trend in its recent state. After a crushing defeat in the Champions League final, the Club World Cup first draw with the Central and North American team Monterrey 1-1, and has not won 1 draw in the last two main matches. The team is facing a serious injury crisis. Forward Marcus Toulam is absent due to flexor fatigue. Six major players including defender Bisek and midfielder Zelinsky are unable to play, and their strength on both ends of offense and defense has been severely damaged. Although Lautaro Martinez still maintains a core threat, the team's aging problem of 29.7 years old, the team's average age is exposed in the Champions League final, and the physical weakness of running distance plummeted by 23% after 60 minutes may become a hidden danger against Urawashi.

Urawa Red Diamonds lost 1-3 to the Riverbed in the first game of the Club World Cup, exposing the fatal problems on the defensive end - there were many clearance mistakes in the whole game, and the space in the central defenders were frequently used. Midfielder Ryuma Watanabe admitted that the team was "cowardly before the fight", and the psychological disadvantages magnified the technical gap. However, the team still has the technical advantages of Asian teams, with an average ball possession rate of 41.5%. Yusuke Matsuo's penalty kick showed a certain ability to finish in front of the goal. Goalkeeper Shusaki Nishikawa pointed out that the team needs to adapt to the fast-paced wing transition of European teams, which will be a key adjustment point against Inter Milan.

023 (Club World Cup) Riverbed VS Monterrey

Riverbed has been in excellent form recently, and has remained unbeaten in 18 consecutive games. His offensive firepower averaged 2.4 goals per game showed his terrifying scoring ability. In terms of lineup, the 17-year-old talented attacker Mastantono performed well. Ah Jia has contributed 4 goals and 4 assists this season. He has delicate skills and outstanding free kick capabilities, becoming one of the core of the team's offensive end. In addition, the forward trident composed of Colombia forward Borja and local forwards Deliusi and Colidio have both speed and finishing ability, which is the key to riverbed siege. The midfield is dominated by powerful players such as Ranchini and Montell, and can effectively control the rhythm of the game and provide support for the front line. However, Riverbed's defense is facing certain injuries. Four defenders including Paul Diaz and Leonardo Pierz are absent due to injuries, which may affect the stability of the defensive.

Monterrey drew 1-1 with Inter Milan in the first game of the Club World Cup, showing a certain degree of resilience, but the overall situation was at a disadvantage. The team has recently changed coaches, and the new coach Tulun adopts a 3-4-3 formation, focusing on ball control and high-pressure pressing in the middle and backcourts, but this system requires high requirements for players and is difficult to execute. In terms of the front line, Ocampos and Berterame are the main offensive points. Berterame is a fulcrum center and has excellent back-protecting ball skills, which is an important link for the team to move from defense to offense. The midfield core Canales is responsible for the attack, while Jorge Rodriguez plays the role of "midfield scavenger". However, Monterrey has hidden dangers on the defensive end, especially the set piece defense, which has created scoring opportunities for opponents many times in the first game of the Club World Cup. In addition, the team still needs time to tactical running-in, and the uncertainty caused by changing coaches may affect the performance of the game.

Direction: Win 1-0 2-1
