Real Madrid, who is in Group H, is second to none in this group, with Riyadh Crescent, Salzburg and Pachuca also having the opportunity to compete for qualifying places.
Team introduction: Real Madrid’s top strength
Real Madrid’s new coach Alonso will usher in the first big test in the Club World Cup. With the introduction of Heysen and Arnold, their strength has been further improved. This season’s Saudi League runner-up Riyadh Crescent fired Jesus in May and was replaced by assistant coach Sharheb. The team performed well in the final stage of the league, and the stars in the team will show their magical powers in the Club World Cup.
Salzburg is the runner-up of the Austrian Premier League this season. This giant team has won the league championship 17 times, but has not achieved very eye-catching results in the international arena. Pachuca also stopped in the quarterfinals in the playoffs of the Mexican Super League, but as the champion of the 2024 Central and North American Champions League, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Schedule: Saudi giants’ first match against Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s match against Riyadh Crescent will be held at 3 a.m. on June 19, which is one of the most eye-catching games in this group. The specific schedule is as follows:
June 19 03:00 Real Madrid vs Riyadh Crescent
June 19 06:00 Pachuca vs Salzburg
June 23 03:00 Real Madrid vs Pachuca
June 23 06:00 Salzburg vs Riyadh Crescent
June 27 09:00 Salzburg vs Real Madrid
June 27 09:00 Riyadh Crescent vs Pachuca
Quick-up situation: the top three compete for another seat
Although the coach changes soon, Alonso’s new arrival will obviously not be a reason for Real Madrid to get out of the group, and it is difficult for the other three teams in this group to pose a threat to them. However, Riyadh Crescent, Pachuca and Salzburg have their own characteristics, soAnother qualifying place in this group is extremely competitive.
The Riyadh Crescent has a large number of famous players, but changing coaches has become their unstable factor. Although the players in Pachuka and Salzburg are not well-known, their on-the-spot performance will become the main influencing factor. The three teams not only need to achieve good results in direct dialogue, but also conced fewer goals when playing against Real Madrid, but also one of the key factors to consider.
Star players: Real Madrid’s new moon stars shine
Real Madrid’s superstars do not need to introduce too much. Mbappe, Bellingham, and Vinicius write stories of young geniuses, while Arnold, who is new to him, and Modric, who is about to say goodbye, have completely different moods. Mitrovic still showed terrifying goal efficiency in Riyadh Crescent, while Milinkovic, Malcolm and Neves formed a strong midfield for the team, and Lodi, Cancelo and Kulibali on the defense also had their own advantages.
Salzburg includes many future stars and is very likely to shine in European football in the future. The team’s goalkeeper Schrager is one of the candidates for Austrian national goal. Pachuca’s number one scorer is Venezuelan international Long Dong, who once played for Dalian. His goal-scoring ability has left a very deep impression on Chinese fans.
