🔍What can we expect from River and Boca at the Club World Cup?
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Club World Cup, which will feature River and Boca, the only Spanish-speaking teams in South America. In light of this, OneFootball brings you the keys to their potential performance in the competition. Russo's Debut Without a doubt, Boca's first half of the year did not go as expected. They fell in the local tournament, were eliminated in the preliminary phase of the Libertadores, and the team was never able to play the way people like. Advertisement Now, hope is renewed with the new cycle of Miguel Ángel Russo. As Riquelme said, the last coach to bring the Copa Libertadores to La Bombonera is back, and everyone dreams that the same will happen in the Club World Cup. A Date with a Taste of Revenge for Gallardo In the Millionaire scheme, Marcelo Gallardo also did not have the best half-year. The elimination against Platense in the Monumental for the local tournament was not expected, but "Napoleón", as he is known in the Monumental, still has everyone's support. After demonstrating his vast experience in the two Copa Libertadores he won, this competition comes to Muñeco like a revenge. In the two World Cups he played, he fell, and now he will seek to say that his River is the best team in the world. Will Cavani Go for His "Last Dance"? Although there are still no rumors of retirement, at 38 years old, Edinson knows that this may be his last major international appointment. And the fact to consider is that this could be his first international trophy at the club level. Now, today, the Uruguayan returned to training separately while recovering from a physical discomfort. There are still 3 days until the debut, and if he is in condition, he will be a starter against Benfica. The technical staff has hopes. Mastantuono and the Opportunity to Show His Great Talent After the announcement of his arrival at Real Madrid today, all the spotlights will be on the 17-year-old jewel. He comes from debuting with the Senior National Team and now seeks to give a last joy to River's fans before boarding the plane to Madrid. Franco arrives with the nickname of being one of the great promises in South America. He already demonstrated what he is capable of in the last Superclásico, and his idea is to make a difference in this appointment, being the ideal one for his farewell. The Challenge for Both In the preview, we have heard countless statements about the superiority of European teams. That's why the great challenge for Argentina's biggest clubs is to compete until the end, making the economic gap an anecdote. We'll see if they can leave the mistakes of this first half of the year behind and start their recovery in this great Club World Cup.
