Fluminense v al Hilal Match Preview

At 37, Prolific Striker’s German Kano will be competing in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Kano won the 3-minute opener for the Brazilian side At the past 16 years old, he expelled a Champions League finalist 2-0strengthening his club’s nearly goal record with each of the two games.

“It’s the best,” Kano replied at a Brazilian outlet when asked where he ranked in his career. Globo He also named Fluminense the most financially powerful team in the last eight times, with Al-Hilal the wealthiest.

“I can’t just choose one, but I’ll be remembered for everything that means. For us, being able to compete in the Club World Cup and participate in the quarterfinals is historic. I can enjoy it and help the team.”

Kano, who spent 45 days with a knee injury this year, says the Saudi heavyweight “runned a lot” after spending extra time in a 4-3 victory over Manchester City.

“It’s going to be difficult. Everything is very fine and balanced. I know you’ll be playing against great enemies that have very fast and very intense players.”

New Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzagi said his team could beat the city and “climb Mount Everest without oxygen.”

“Every player was exceptional in everything,” observed the Italian. “In the ownership stage, the non-residential stage.

“What’s important was the players and hearts they put on the field. We all know Manchester City, so we had to do extraordinary things.”

City led from Bernardo Silva’s nine-minute opener, but Marcos Leonardo and Malcolm turned the scoreline within the first eight minutes of the second half before guaranteeing that Ehlinghaaland would enter the extra time for Thailand.

Senegal’s captain Karido Couribery and Leonardo’s goals sent Al Giral in Orlando, but Phil Foden answered with 16 minutes left.

Left-back Rene has been suspended due to Fulminence, with Martinelli out on Achilles, where suspected injuries and fellow midfielder Otavio have been out since March.

Thiago Silva and Ignacio, who will be 41 in September, accompanied Juan Freites as manager Renato switched to three centre-backs against Inter.

“It didn’t surprise us.” Freites said. “Renato has become accustomed to change, and he tries to change players a lot and give everyone a chance.

“He is a player and I know that trust is very important, and I wasn’t surprised because he made the decision and there was always a reason.

“He believes we can win this way, and what we’ve done is a good thing. We’re back there and relaxed. Thiago talks all the time.

“I don’t have to talk about his career or everything he’s accomplished. It’s a joy to play with him and all of my teammates. They all have a lot of history and experience.”

Al Hilal has no striker Alexander Mitrovich, who scored 19 times in 23 professional league matches last season and has won winger Salem Aldausari.

They responded on Wednesday by signing striker Abderrazak Hamdallah, six goals from becoming the highest scorer ever on Saudi Arabia’s top flight, on loan from al-Shabaab.

Brazilian pair Leonardo and Malcolm suffered from fatigue over the city, but have since been appreciated and fully trained. Al Riyadthe Hamdara trade will last for six months, he said.
