Personal analysis: Fluminense is the biggest dark horse in this Club World Cup. The team plays a typical American style on the field. They like to advance the attack through ground passing and control. However, the players on the front line do not have strong personal breakthrough ability. In the case of speed and physical confrontation, they have no obvious advantage against several European teams. The more effective way of attacking on the field is to counterattack through the wing and midfield. Cano, Arias in the forward position and Martinelli and Bernal in the midfield have good long-range shooting ability. The team's interception ability in the midfield area is pretty good, and the back line is basically not at a disadvantage in terms of personnel defense and confrontation. Relatively speaking, the speed of several defenders is slow, and the wingers need to retreat to assist in defense. The back line is at a disadvantage in defending top forwards one-on-one. Chelsea is basically honing the new lineup in preparation for next season in this Club World Cup. The center forward Delap is basically in the starting position, but in these few games, it can be seen that he has not yet integrated into the team. His efficiency in scoring is not high when there is not a lot of ball possession in front of the goal. Relatively speaking, players with strong breakthrough ability such as Neto and Madueke will have better offensive effects on the field. In addition, the defensive ability is obviously insufficient when the midfield uses a combination such as Enzo and Santos, and the back line has been exposed to the opponent's forward line. Cucurella and Gusteau, who are full-backs, are more useful in defending American forwards. Most American forwards are speed + technical players, and these two have a clear advantage in speed.

Fluminense is obviously much weaker than Chelsea in terms of lineup strength. Chelsea's main problem is the uncertainty of the starting lineup. In the previous knockout and group matches, the team did not have a full starting lineup. It can be seen that head coach Maresca has no special requirements for the results of the game. In terms of the attack and defense capabilities of the wing, Chelsea has a clear advantage as long as they do not make big mistakes. In this game, Chelsea's 0.75 goal handicap is normal. After all, Fluminense is half a host, the support of the fans on the scene is relatively strong, and the team's defensive ability is relatively solid. However, for the final, Lao Li predicts that this game will most likely improve Chelsea's impression points. I am optimistic that Chelsea is more likely to break through, and the score is expected to be 0-2 or 0-3.
