“Tunisian Esperance” enters the second World Cup exam with “a record that is not encouraging”

Tunisian Esperance is looking to compensate for his first loss in the Football Club World Cup, when Los Angeles FC faces, tomorrow, at two o’clock after midnight Emirates time, at the Geodis Park Stadium in Nashville, in the second round of Group D competitions, in a match that means the end of the journey with a large percentage of the loser.

Before falling against the Brazilian Flamingo 0-2 in the first round, Esperance achieved a series of 11 consecutive games without losing in various competitions, and he hopes to return to this railway against a team that in turn lost the opening match against Chelsea, 0-2.

But Esperance recorded in the Club World Cup not encouraging, as he lost five of his seven matches in the competition, with two games to set fifth, one of them against a team from North America.

The Tunisian fans hope that the Brazilian midfielder, Jan Sas, will be on the date, as he has never lost his team in any match in which he scored (he won 26 games and drew 6), but he will have a difficult exam by facing veteran French goalkeeper Hugo Loris.

In front of Flamingo, Esperance failed to pay more than twice towards the goal, and his coach Maher Al -Kanzari needs to find solutions in his squad, which he did not reinforce with big deals before the competition started.

Algerian Youssef Blaili remains the most dangerous of Esperance players on the offensive level, and he scored 18 goals, and he made 16 decisive passes in 34 games in various competitions this season. It is possible that Al -Aji Abdul Rahman Konati play a fundamental role, after he moved the midfield after entering the last game.

On the other hand, Los Angeles FC enters the match with a record similar to his opponent, as he did not lose 10 games before falling against Chelsea (he won 5 and drew 5).

The confrontation for the club, which was established in 2014 and does not have great experience, will be the first with an African team.

It is expected that the young Norwegian midfielder Odin Thiago will participate for the first time with Los Angeles since his absence for two months, as he sat on the reserve seats in the last game without playing.

In the same group, Chelsea will try to ensure qualification from the Flamingo Gate in the match (22:00 pm Emirates time), and continuing his distinguished results after reaching nine wins in the last 10 games, which helped him reserve a seat between the first four in the league, and crown the title of Conninen League.

This will be the third confrontation of Chelsea against a Brazilian team in the competition (won once and lost once), while Flamingo played one match against an English team, which ended with the loss against Liverpool 0-1 in the 2019 final.

Bayern Munich will be in front of a serious exam after the “Nuzhat” of the New Zealand Auckland match and his victory over 10-0, when he faces Argentine Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium Stadium in Group Three (5 am on Saturday at Emirates time).

“We are preparing for an intense and focused effort through an accurate analysis of our competitors to determine our style of confrontation,” said the giant goalkeeper, Manuel Noir, before the confrontation.

He added, “The pace is rising quickly, but we are keen to gradually reduce the training load on the day before the match, especially under the incendiary Miami sun.”

“The match against Boca Juniors will be the summit of the group stage,” said the Belgian coach, Vandan Kompany. “It is a clash between European and South American traditions. Even if I was not a coach for Bayern Munich, I would have hoped to attend it. ”
