Enzo Maresca and Chelsea qualified for the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against Benfica on Saturday evening (4-1 AP). This did not prevent the Italian from pushing a rant against the progress of the competition in stride.
The joy was in size at Enzo Maresca, all smiles after the goal of Christopher Nkunku in extra time during the round of the World Cup World Cup which opposed Chelsea on Saturday evening to Benfica, before Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall came to complete the success of the Blues, who ensured their qualification in final quarters of the competition (4-1).
But a few minutes after the final whistle, it was with a much more closed face than atzo Maresca pushed a rant on the course of this club World Cup. “”It is not football, six games have already been interrupted“He says before continuing.”It's completely incredible and it's something completely new that I find it hard to understand. This is probably not the right place to organize this competition“, Concludes Enzo Maresca, who does not mask his misunderstanding in the face of the desire to organize this World Cup in the United States.
A legitimate rant, the part between Londoners and LisBoets having been interrupted no less than two hours while the final whistle was near. Chelsea then led 1-0, before Angel Di Maria chores on penalty at the very end of the game and sends the two teams in extra time. A scenario that could not have happened if this interruption had not taken place, as the blues seemed to master this end of the match.
Enzo Maresca is now one of the many personalities to have criticized the course of this club World Cup. Raphinha (FC Barcelona), for example, had not hesitated to share his dissatisfaction with the fact that competition takes place after such a long season.
Jürgen Klopp, legendary coach of Liverpool, did not try to make it complicated, simply qualifying this world cup of clubs “Worse idea never implemented in football“.
