This second day of the Club World Cup offered us first huge surprises. This Thursday evening, Inter Miami managed to overthrow FC Porto (2-1), in particular thanks to a free kick from Lionel Messsi, while in the night, PSG fell against Botafogo (0-1). A real blow, as the European champions left favorite before this meeting. Inevitably satisfied with this result, Renato Paiva, coach of the Champion of South American stable, revealed the elements that allowed his team to overcome that of Luis Enrique.
Questioned at the end of the game, the Portuguese technician simply explained that he had tried to ensure that his players play in the same way as their opponents: ” I think we killed PSG with the same poison as them: an excellent team, a collective game, united, everyone defends, everyone attacks, and it is the great secret of PSG. We therefore returned the same with the same poison. They play like that and win. This is what we did. It's a fantastic team. I said to the guys: Be a team, enjoy it, play together, attack together, defend together and take advantage of it. And that's exactly what they did. »A success that allows the Brazilian club to be the sole leader of group B, and which allows Atletico de Madrid to return to equal points with Paris following its victory against the Seattle Sounders (3-1), future and last adversary of the Parisians for this group phase.
