Chelsea and Bayern are careful, is the biggest dark horse in the Club World Cup coming?

defeated Tunisia Hope in the first game, and Flamenco's Club World Cup journey has a good start. This team, which has been invincible in the Brazilian League in the past year, has become the biggest disruptor on the stage of the Club World Cup.

The Magical Young Coach, with a brilliant record

After winning the South American Liberators Cup in the 2022 season, Flamenco has always ranked around 4th and 5th in the Brazilian League, and the team's "card" strength has been delayed in realizing it as a satisfactory record. When Philippe Louis took office on September 30, 2024, no one could have expected that the young coach (39 years old) could achieve such a brilliant record.

successively won three championships in the Rio de Janeiro State League, Brazil Cup and Brazil Super Cup. He lost only one of his first 26 games, and remained unbeaten in 24 consecutive games...Filipe Luis not only conquered Flamengo fans with his outstanding record, but also attracted the attention of the Brazilian Football Association. After Dorival was dismissed, Felipe Luis, European famous coaches such as Ancelotti and Joje Jesus were on the list of coach selections at the same time, which is the greatest recognition of the young coach.

pragmatic style, "Simone II"

Before the Club World Cup, Flamenco ranked first in the Barcelona League with 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. Philippe Luis' disciples scored 24 goals and conceded only 4 goals in 11 games, and the efficiency of both offense and defense was the first in the league.

After following Simeone for many years, Felipe Luis's tactical concept has obvious traces of "bandit commander". There are many star players from the five major leagues in the flamenco. Danilo, Alles Sandro, De La Cruz, Eric Pulga and Jorginho form a solid backcourt. Felipe Luis will choose between Pedro, Everton, Bruno Enrique, Michael, De Alascaeta and Luis Arauro according to the characteristics of different opponents, and match a frontcourt four-man team that can control the 4231 formation.

Challenge Chelsea first, and then challenge Bayern?

Group D of this Club World Cup may be the most distinctive group among the eight groups. Flamenco's card strength is not as strong as Chelsea, but he still has obvious advantages when facing Tunisia Hope and Los Angeles, and it is not difficult to qualify in the group. If you can successfully enter the knockout stage, Flamenco will face Bayern's Group C team. Compared with Maresca's team, the team created by Philippe Luis is better in overall shape, and they have the strength to defeat Chelsea (for the first place in the group) in direct confrontations. If you can successfully win the top spot in the group, Flamenco can win the top spot in the group, and you will likely avoid Bayern Munich and aim at the quarterfinals or even the semi-finals.
