The first game of the Club World Cup semi-finals was completed, and Chelsea defeated South American champion Fruminense to advance to the finals first and ensured that the championship continued to belong to the European team. Subsequently, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will compete, Paris chooses to take a break, Real Madrid has a false alarm, the plane lands safely, and the league is also applied for a rescheduling.

In the past season, Paris Saint-Germain seemed quite relaxed. As the first team to win the championship in the top five leagues, after Paris won the Ligue 1 championship early, the remaining challenges were the Champions League, and of course the French Cup. As you can see, in the last one or two months, Paris can send more substitutes in the league, and the main players get enough rest time.

Therefore, compared with other teams, especially Chelsea, which needs to fight to the last round, followed by Chelsea in the Europa League final, Paris Saint-Germain should be a team with better physical reserves. After coming to the Club World Cup, coach Enrique continued to choose a moderate approach. After beating Miami International, the whole team was on vacation, and some players chose Atlanta's aquarium or bowling alley to relax.

Similarly, after defeating Bayern Munich and after Paris flew from Atlanta to New York, Enrique once again gave all the players a holiday, allowing them to go with their families and even visit locally in New York. It’s really good to say that small tests, big tests, and holidays before the game not only allow players to relax psychologically and physically, but also bring together team spirit. Unlike some teams, they still practice in the afternoon and in the morning, which makes people feel nervous.

However, Pacho and Lucas are really going to have a holiday. Since they both received red cards, they had to suspend the game for two games, which means that even if Paris reaches the final, they will not be able to play. Therefore, Paris officially announced that Pacho and Lucas have left the team and can prepare for the new season in advance. I wonder, if the two of them can appear at the awards ceremony if Paris wins the championship?

In contrast, although Real Madrid defeated Dortmund in the quarterfinals and the semi-finals and Paris Saint-Germain were all arranged at the Metropolitan Stadium, Real Madrid still chose to return to the Miami Palm Beach base in Florida during the gap. Unexpectedly, such an arrangement encountered great trouble.

Due to the impact of the storm in New York, the planes on Real Madrid have been unable to land. According to flight tracking data, the flight has been hovering in the air for a long time. The latest news confirms that the entire Real Madrid team has arrived at New Jersey Airport and landed safely, but the press conference and interview activities of three players that Alonso attended are temporarily cancelled.

Like Paris, Real Madrid also has Wyson who cannot play because of a red card, but everyone is still concerned about Mbappe's situation. After hospitalization, Mbappe has returned to two games, and his playing time is about half an hour, obviously to protect the players. In the game against Dortmund, Mbappe's goal in stoppage time was particularly critical, making the opponent's two final scores make it meaningless. After entering Real Madrid, Alonso may encounter the same problem with Ancelotti. How several superstar players coordinate is a difficult problem that needs to be solved. If Rodrigo leaves the team, things may become clearer. It is reported that Bayern Munich and Arsenal are both potential next teams.

Interestingly, although Enrique and Alonso both played for Real Madrid, the only two matches between the two during their time as a player occurred in the encounter between Real Sociedad and Barcelona. The current encounter is the first encounter between Enrique and Alonso as the head coach.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid has applied to delay the first round of La Liga in two months. According to Spanish media, in May, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and La Liga had already negotiated that if they can enter the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, the first round of La Liga will be postponed to ensure that the players have at least three weeks of preparation time. At present, Atletico Madrid has been eliminated long ago, and there is no such problem. If Real Madrid succeeds in delaying, the first La Liga game will not start on August 25.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have had 8 chances to meet in the past 10 years, 4 times in the group stage, and 4 times in the top 16, with Real Madrid winning 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In both knockout stages, Real Madrid successfully defeated their opponents and advanced. Coincidentally, Real Madrid finally entered the finals, both of which defeated Liverpool and won the Champions League championship.

What will happen to this encounter? In terms of strength, Paris Saint-Germain, which just won the first Champions League trophy in team history, seems to be slightly better. Pacho and Lucas, who only helped Paris "save" room expenses, were obviously more affected by the absence of Real Madrid than Real Madrid's lack of Wyson, and whether Mbappe starts is also worth paying attention to.

Because he lost to Arsenal in the Champions League, Mbappe did not have the chance to face his old club until the Club World Cup. This is a story full of topics. Is Mbappe's transfer benefiting the old club or more beneficial to the new club?
