In the first round of the Club World Cup Group G that ended on June 19, Serie A giant Juventus defeated Al Ain with a refreshing 5-0 victory and began his journey strongly. Coach Tudor said after the game that the team is moving in the right direction and has set its sights on the next key battle against Moroccan powerhouse Vidard.

In this game, the two forward stars Muani and Concesan both scored twice, helping the team win a big victory. This is the first time that Juventus has won an international match by at least 5 goals since sweeping Olympiacos 7-0 on December 10, 2003. At the same time, the 5-0 score also set the biggest victory for the team's debut in the history of the Club World Cup, surpassing the 4-0 record of Barcelona (2006) and Paris Saint-Germain (this year). In addition, the Zebras scored four goals in the first half, which was the first time they achieved this since they played against Sassuolo in February 2018. This victory allowed Juventus to firmly occupy the top spot in Group G.

Tudor's team will face the challenge of Vadard in the second round. The Moroccan team lost 0-2 to Manchester City, led by Guardiola, in its first match. Although Tudor's performance in Juventus' early stage of coaching has fluctuated, he finally successfully led the team to secure fourth place in Serie A, ensuring his qualifying for the Champions League next season. He believes that as the players' understanding of their tactical concepts deepens, the team will continue to improve.

"I feel that the team has put a huge focus and motivation into this game. They are full of energy and full of desire," Tudor said after the game. "There is positive energy flowing between the players. The willingness to run hard and selflessly pay for each other is very obvious. I think this spirit has been fully demonstrated, and the players themselves have a deep understanding. We are on the right path. Of course, there are always things that need improvement... A team is a living organism, and changes every day."

Historical confrontation data are also beneficial to Juventus. In the history of the Club World Cup, European teams have maintained a perfect record of 3 games and 3 wins against Morocco: Rajacasablanca lost to Real Madrid in 2000, lost to Bayern Munich in 2013, while Vidard just lost to Manchester City.

Although Vader only made 287 passes against Manchester City, he completed 12 shot attempts. They attempted a shot every 23.9 passes on average, which ranked second lowest in the first round of the Club World Cup, just above Palmeiras (23.4). This data also indicates that Juventus needs to be vigilant about its efficient and concise style of play when facing Vadard. The Zebras will strive to continue the European team's record of winning against Moroccan teams and consolidate their group qualifying advantages.
