The metaphysical truth of Group G: Guardiola is hot with turf, Juventus is 1-0 king, Rahimi lifts the table with a knife!

Group Team Overview

The ultimate suspense of Group G may not be "who can qualify", but how much the European giants have to pay to advance - Manchester City's injury, Juventus's weak forward, and the two intercontinental champions' fighting posture are enough to make sparks splash in each game:

G Group Schedule:

4 Team Panoramic Analysis:

1. Manchester City (England)

Road to promotion: 2023-24 Champions League Champions

Core Player: Rodri, winner of the 2024 Golden Globe Award.

Rodri

Central axis: Goalkeeper Ederson - central defender Dias - midfielder Rodri - attacking midfielder Gundogan/Fourden - forward Haaland

Dias

Main wings: Gvadior, Doku, Savio, Malmush

Savio

Head coach: There is no need to repeat the greatness of Guardiola, 3 Champions League champions, and 4 Club World Cup champion rings are there. His Tiki-taka ball-handling philosophy has been greatly challenged this season. He has suffered a double-line defeat in the Premier League and Champions League this season. The team always has a ball-handling rate and cannot create more scoring opportunities! Fortunately, Guardiola seems to have begun to adjust its tactics recently, trying to make the wingback stand wider and deeper, constantly changing the rhythm and offensive direction alternately, and the number of games at the end of the season has significantly improved in creating opportunities!

Guardiola has been at Manchester City for 9 seasons. In addition to his tactics being studied thoroughly by his opponents, Rodri's injury and De Bruyne's condition may be the core reasons for the decline in performance this season:

Rodri's injury has loosened the backcourt's goal-taking system, interception ability, 1 penalty and 2 penalty kicks and other important defensive data have plummeted. Rodri had returned in early May. Whether Manchester City can enter the finals is closely related to his recovery of success.

De Bruyne, this season may be the worst Premier League season in Ding Ding's condition. When he is in good shape, Manchester City does not need to let too many offensive players press forward. A mysterious pass can collapse the opponent's overall defense line!

Dingtin has gone to Napoli, and it remains to be seen whether the newly introduced Lyon Cherki (12 goals and 20 assists in 44 games) can quickly integrate into the team!

Cherki

Group Outlook: The team qualifying in Group G will meet Group H. Real Madrid is likely to be the first in the group. The third matchup with Juventus should not be taken lightly. He lost to his opponent away in the Champions League group stage this season, and Rodri was absent at the time!

2. Juventus (Italy)

Road to promotion: UEFA has the highest points, Juventus' first Club World Cup in history!

Core Player: Locatrip, his organization and sweeping Juventus are indispensable. One person contributed a quarter of the team's offensive third-district passes (327 times), averaging 3.02 interceptions + steals per game.

Locatria

Central axis: Goalkeeper Digregorio - Central defender Bremer - Central forward Locatria - Forward Franhovic/Muani

Bremer

Main wings: Concesan, Ilditz, Cambiaso, Kostic, Kabar

Camiaso

Serie A super king Ilditz

Head coach: Tudor, the firefighting coach has become a regular, so far, he has no hardcore honors in his coaching career, and focuses on 3421, and is good at using a compact formation to compress space, emphasizing the restriction of opponents' touch in the penalty area. However, the offensive creativity is lacking, and the team has 9 games to put out the fire. The team won 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss and scored 13 goals and conceded 7 goals, and lacked experience in large-scale cup games!

Tudor

Good news: Juventus executive Jon Toli is dismissed! If the new senior management can solve the problems of Vlahovic, Douglas Louis, Concesan and Kelly, and the combat effectiveness of the teams Bremer and Kabar who have returned from injury will be directly upgraded!

Group Outlook: Tudor lacks experience in large-scale cup competitions, and it is not impossible to lose points in the first two games. The draw master is not in vain. Another nickname for Juventus is "1 to 0 King"; the third game is the final match between Manchester City, and the weather is hot at 3 pm. JIO [grin], which is even more unfavorable to Manchester City, the ball-controlled side!

3. Casablanca Vidade (Morocco)

Road to promotion: 2022 African Champions League champion.

Core Player: Mohamed Rahi

Rachi

Central axis: Goalkeeper Bennabid - Central defender Jamal Hakas - Mid-middle Medi Mubaric - Forward Malula

Medi Mubaric

New coach takes office: Mohamed Benhachem, formerly the competitive director of Casablanca Club, took over the team at the end of May, and has no hardcore honors in his coaching career. He has coached other teams mainly in the 4231 offensive formation. The Club World Cup tactics are to be seen.

Mohamed Benhachem

Team features: After winning the non-champion championship in 2022, the team's strength has declined significantly and has not been able to win the Moroccan domestic league championship for three years. The player has poor personal abilities and relatively thin physical strength, and his physical disadvantages are obvious when fighting against European giants. The speed is fast, sneak attacks on the side are their magic weapon to win. Moroccan League ended in mid-May, and the players' physical reserves are slightly better than those of their opponents in the same group.

Group Outlook: The team's strength is too far from Manchester City and Juventus. The third game against Al Ain is a veritable "intercontinental honor battle"!

4. Al Ain (UAE)

Promotion path: 2023-24 AFC Champions League champion

Core player: Rahimi, 13-goal Golden Boot in the last AFC Champions League, and won the top scorer of the event with 8 goals in the Paris Olympics and set a record of 6 consecutive goals - his speed and finishing ability are Ain's biggest bargaining chips against the giants

Rahimi

Central axis: Goalkeeper Patricio - Central defender Park Yong-woo - Mid-middle Traore - Attack midfielder Rahimi - Forward Raba

Raba

Main wings: Al - Ababi, Kaku, Eric

Kaku

Head coach: Vladimir Ivic, who won the Israel League championship and took over the team in February 25. He is good at counterattack formations of 3421 and 532. He is a typical bus team and relies on the personal ability of the three players in the frontcourt Rahimi, Kaku and Raba to attack.

Ivic

Middle of the season, the club fired head coach Crespo, who led the team to win the AFC Champions League. The team's away ability has declined significantly compared with previous seasons, with the league's average away goal conceded 1.57 goals per game.

Group Outlook: Rahimi is the team's upset gene. If they set up an 8+3 ultimate bus, taking advantage of Manchester City underestimating the opponent or Juventus' slow heat to grab points, it will completely disrupt Group G. Casablanca will be their most likely opponent to win.
