In the last few Club World Cups, the group stage intensity of this competition has been very clear.

Affected by various factors such as weather, the excitement of the game is limited, while European and South American teams have obvious strength advantages over teams on other continents, which makes the game lack highlights overall.

However, European teams do not have obvious advantages. Faced with the game tasks after the end of the season, they lack motivation in all aspects, and after the end of the season, many teams still have the action of changing the coaches, which has also changed the team's tactical system.

For example, Inter Milan in this game. In this game in the group stage, Inter Milan's opponent is Monterrey from the Mexican League.

The opponent has limited strength, but has rich experience in some positions. Not only do they have veterans such as Ramos and Canales who play in the La Liga, but also Ocampos leads the front line, so their abilities cannot be underestimated.

In this case, Inter Milan has just changed coaches, and Zivo has led the team for less than half a month, which really needs to be questioned. Although Zivo also focused on the 352 system in Parma last season, it seems that they can seamlessly connect with Inter Milan, they still have many difficulties in this game. After the opening of the game, Inter Milan won the ball, but the offense was always difficult to threaten.

In this game, Inter Milan also sent substitutes in many positions, such as Aslani, the left and right wingbacks used Flatesi and Damian respectively, and the forward position also allowed Esposito to start.

In this way, Inter Milan's offensive ability is naturally weakened a lot from the conventional state of last season, especially in terms of offense development. Without Dumfries, Damian is temporarily used on the right. In this game, the left side naturally became one of the few offensive choices:

{0}

In almost the first half of the first half, Inter Milan's offense developed from the left to the right half of the attack only once:

Moreover, most left offensives ended with offside and mistakes, and the efficiency was not very high.

Of course, this cannot simply and roughly point to Vratessi's ability, but with the decline of the striker, Lautaro Martinez's investment level is limited, and Mkhitaryan's responsibilities have changed, and the forward insertion strength has increased, Vratessi and even the way of opening the left wingback have changed clearly from last season.

So in the 24th minute, Bastoni received the ball and moved forward along the side. Before choosing the ball, there was indeed no obvious catch point on this side. In addition, he drifted by himself, it turned into a counterattack of the opponent:

In the corner kick created by this counterattack, Ramos completed his signature header:

Once this ball was lost, Inter Milan faced the danger of opening the ball black, so it naturally quickly increased the intensity of the game. It was the same if there was no ball and there was a ball. Moreover, on the way of attack, the right side was also obviously raised. Cheer up:

, but the goal to equalize the score was not only scored by Lautaro, but also created the offensive opportunity by Lautaro:

Therefore, Inter Milan faces many difficulties in this game. In addition to the difficult external objective factors, including excessive adjustment positions, limited investment in the regular main force, and the adjustment of the tactical system after the additional coach changes, a series of factors are making the game more difficult.

Even if Inter Milan equalized the score in the first half and returned to the same starting line, and had relatively familiar with Monterrey, the number of attacks after returning from the second half is still limited:

, Monterrey repeatedly uses counterattacks and set pieces, and can always play back the half of Inter Milan:

, so when it comes to Inter Milan's real advantage, Turam and others appear on the bench, including Zivo. The right-wing defender used Ruiz Enrique to play on the offensive end, which made Inter Milan threaten in the second half of the second half, but failed to score the second goal:

Not only that, they almost lost the second goal as the game was approaching the end:

Finally, the game ended with a draw.

Obviously, this is the biggest upset since the opening of the Club World Cup. The Champions League runner-up was tied by the Mexican giants, but this does point out the difficulties faced by Inter Milan. There were too many veterans, which not only affected their cap last season, but also affected their performance in this game. Mkhitaryan, Damian, Archerby, and the latter two played full, and Mkhitaryan also played for 78 minutes.

This is obviously a problem that Zivo needs to solve in the new season, but it also means that Inter Milan needs to use performance and performance as a cost, so that substitutes and young players can work in tactics and grow from it. There are obviously many variables, including subsequent matches.

As for Monterrey, their performance is quite tenacious.

It is naturally difficult for such a team to achieve particularly good results in such a large-scale game, but in a single game, they can use their technical abilities to step down, confront and pass the mark to create enough trouble for many teams..

The choice of the Tactics of Duizi in this game may have affected their own performance, but they have indeed paid a lot from coach to players, thus getting this valuable 1 point.

The unexpected bonus is obtained, and the team can be happy.
