UEFA champions league champion EPL side Chelsea is
going to take Brazilian giant, the Copa Libertadores winners Corinthians in the
Club World Cup final in Yokohama today.
Chelsea
have beaten the Mexican side Monterrey by 3-1 margin in the first semifinal
while their Brazilian counterpart Corinthians managed to beat the Egyptian
giant Al-Ahly by 1-0 margin in the
second semifinal.
In
the history of Champions league Chelsea is the only side to be knocked out from
the group stage after winning the tournament in the very previous year. Chlesea
interim boss Rafael Benitez is very much desperate to bag this crown atleast
after their early exit from the Champions league, he is banking heavily on his experienced campaigners on
the likes of David Luiz, Fernando Torres & Frank Lampard.
Eventually
Corinthians is the champion of the inaugural version of the World Club Cup
2000. We have seen last year another Brazilian giant Santosh yielded against the
Spanish giant Barcelona in the final of the same tournament so this time Corinthians
will start cautiously against their opponent in the final.
Corinthians
coach Tite known for his ultra defensive formation, expected he will do the
same in the final like previous matches, he will bank on the safehands of the
custodian Cassio & midfielder Paulino.
More
than 25000 fans from Brazil have already started for Yokohama to shout for
their side in the final, which will make the job more difficult for the English
side Chelsea.
