1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 14th Italian legendary forward Vieri will explain the Club World Cup as a DAZN commentator. As the game is about to begin, he predicted the next game in an interview with The National.
Vieri scored an astonishing 236 goals in 476 games in his career, and made 49 appearances for the Italian national team and scored 23 goals. The three teams he has played for – Juventus, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid will all participate in this Club World Cup.
There are 32 teams participating now, what do you think of the New Club World Cup system? “It’s like a small Champions League. I saw in the newspaper last week that whoever wins can win about $120 million, which is a huge bonus. So all teams will go all out to win. I think when FIFA organizes a certain event, they always do a great job.”
You think the expansion Is it improved the global football level or diluted the reputation of the event? “I think it’s good for football, of course, there are a lot of games in the season. A lot of people say players need to take a break, and I understand that because they do play a lot of games. But when you have an event like this, teams from all over the world are involved, I think it’s good.” “It’s also good for the club because they give a lot of young players the opportunity to play, and these players are There may not be many opportunities in the season. Ultimately, summer games in the United States are not easy and the weather will be very hot, but I think it is good for the clubs and young players. ”
As a player who has played for Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Juventus, what do you think these clubs represent their respective leagues to play at this level
“It’s very important because we’re talking about the best teams in the world. As I said, Lautaroco I can’t play all the games, and some young players will have the chance to play. So, I think it’s a good thing for the club, and you can see the performance of the young players. “
“These are the best teams in the world, they always play for the sake of victory. Like I said, it’s like winning the Champions League in a month instead of a year. Atletico Madrid will go for victory, and so do Juventus and Inter Milan.”
As a commentator, what games do you most look forward to watching and commenting on?strong>
“I like to talk about strikers and offensive teams because I want to enjoy the game like you guys, like those fans who buy tickets to watch the ball. I want to see goals, see opportunities, see wonderful football. I don’t want to be bored, I don’t want to see defensive teams.”
Let’s talk about the Champions League final, do you think Inter can recover from that loss
“What can you do? I always say, I’d rather lose 5-0 and go to the final than not to go to the final. They’ve reached two finals in three years. Who can do that? Only big clubs. I think they’ll recover, they’ve been on a break for over a week and they’ll recover. That’s the athletes, you lose the game, well, no one is happy, but you have to think about the next game.”
Simone Inzagie leaves Inter Milan Lan switched to Riyadh Crescent, what do you think of this decision? “I’m sorry he left because I don’t like coach changes. Inzaghi did a really good job and we should have won the Serie A title this year. We missed the Serie A title in a few seasons. Fans felt that, we should have won more. Even the players knew they left regrets in the season. But as I said, it’s good to go to the Champions League final twice in three years, and he did it Very good. ”
“I hope he stays for two or three years because Inter Milan has a strong team and they can continue to work with him. But that’s the reality, some clubs have changed coaches three times in a season. He left, he wants to change, and the 0-5 game has left him losing all his energy. He wants to change, he talks with the club, and that’s their decision. ”
Do you think the Riyadh Crescent made the right decision? Do you think Inzaghi can lead them to win this game? “I think it may not be this time, and winning an event is not easy. If they win, it’s because the level of the team is already there. They have some big names. But he’s a good coach and he loves winning games and trophies. He has more stuff than other coaches. It’s a good choice for them to sign him for two years, a lot of money, but a good choice for the club.”
His first game The game is against Real Madrid coached by Alonso, how do you think of this game? “Wow! It will be a wonderful game, two new coaches. Real Madrid is a great team, and for Inzaghi, the first game is against Real Madrid, which is very difficult. No matter what the result is, it will be an important game.”
“But in the next two games, I think Inzaghi will lead the team to good results. Hopefully he will perform well in the Club World Cup. If he can pass the first few gamesHe may even face Inter Milan, which will be a tense match. ”
Western football is on the rise, do you think there will be more players and coaches going there like Inzaghi?
“Yes, I think that will be. They have money, but it’s not just a matter of spending money. If you want to sign Inzaji, you have to pay his salary. If you want to sign Ronaldo, you have to pay him a salary, but there will be one of the most important leagues in the world. ”
”Slowly, it will eventually come true. You will see Benzema, Ronaldo…all the players will go there. It might have taken 25 years, but now it may only take 5 to 10 years. You can see that even though they are in their thirties, they don’t want to lose the game. ”
“I think they are on the right path and finding the right coach is the key, you need good coaches to improve the team, and I think this is already one of the most important leagues in the world. ”
Juventus is in the same group as Manchester City and the UAE. How do you view this group? Will there be surprises? Or will Manchester City lead all the way? “I think Manchester City will lead all the way, Juventus, I don’t know. They performed poorly this year, with Thiago Mota being fired midway through the season and Tudor taking over, and the game was also a good and a bad game. Juventus needs to perform better, they are a big club. The fans were not satisfied and the results were not ideal. They won their last game against Venice and finished fourth, but that wasn’t enough for Juventus. ”
Which team do you think will be a dark horse
“I think the Riyadh New Moon coached by Inzaghi will perform well, and they have a lot of players who have played in Europe for many years. Messi joins Miami International? I hope they have performed well in their first game against Cairo Nationals. ”
”They have four former Barcelona players, and the coach is also from Barcelona. I want to see Busquets pass to Alba for a long time and Messi scored the goal like he did in the past decade. I’ll go to see this game, I want to enjoy Messi’s performance, Miami International and Riyadh Crescent will be the dark horse. ”
Who do you predict will win the championship
“I would say it is Atletico Madrid, they are a good team. ”
Do you think Zivo is the right person for Inter Milan’s coach?
“I think yes, because he is young and has new ideas. This is a good thing for players to work with such a coach. He has played for Inter Milan for many years, and he knows the club and the players. I remember reading in the newspaper that they wanted someone young and had new ideas and we’ll know in a few months. ”
