Club World Cup Tour | Group C: "Champion Kane" leads the team to attack, "Angel" ushers in a farewell battle

Reprinted from: Yangzi Evening News

On June 15, the reformed and upgraded FIFA Club World Cup will officially kick off. 32 club teams from different leagues around the world representing the top strength levels of various continents will compete in the United States for a total of US$1 billion in event prize money and the highest honor of "the world's strongest football club". Among them, which teams are well-known to fans around the world, and which are the "mysterious teachers" that have entered your vision for the first time? Let's get to know these teams together.

Bayern, who has the advantage of leading the gap, is a giant that other teams in Group C are difficult to challenge. The battle between Benfica and Boca Youth, the two equally powerful teams, may become the most exciting highlight of this group.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich (Germany):

Bundesliga giants are undoubtedly the giants of this group. The team is accustomed to crushing their opponents with a high-pressure ball control system of 4231. Kane (28 goals in the season) and Musiara's forward combination averaged 3.2 excellent opportunities per game. The interception + long pass between midfielders Kimmich and Gretzka is an offensive and defensive hub, and Davis's speed on the defense line is a weapon to break the defense. Especially in the Bundesliga last season, after Kane finally tasted the taste of a league championship, the team may be able to strive for more honors with a more peaceful attitude.

Benfica

Benfica (Portugal):

As one of the Portuguese superpowers, Benfica is not only a famous "European black store", but also a regular visitor in the Champions League. The current Benfica team, including central defender Silva and forward Pavridis, are all in a state of being young and strong, both offense and defense. At the same time, this Club World Cup is also the last event that Di Maria, one of the team's "signatures", played for Benfica. The 37-year-old veteran still has sharp dribbling and passes key balls, and is a big-hearted player who can change the situation on the court.

Boca Youth (Argentina):

The Boca Youth, a traditional South American team, has not had a very impressive record in recent years. The team lost to independent sports in the quarter-finals of the Arab League Spring League and missed the semi-finals. Currently, the players that the team relies on in three lines are Uruguayan star Cavani on the front line, Spanish midfielder Herrera and former Manchester United defender Rojo. All three are veterans who "retired" from the European League. But it is worth mentioning that Boca Youth is also one of the most successful South American teams in the history of the Club World Cup (including its predecessor Toyota Cup). It has won three championships, one runner-up and one fourth place in 6 competitions.

Auckland City (New Zealand):

Auckland City is the only team representing Oceania in this tournament, but this team with a total value of only 5 million euros is significantly different from the other three teams in the same group. It is important to pay special attention to that there is another Chinese player in the Auckland City team, Zhou Tong, who was formerly from Jinmen Tigers in Tianjin. Although Zhou Tong, 35, is only 125,000 euros, he is the only Chinese player in this club World Cup.
