They have a great squad. Enzo Maresca is doing a great job and I really like what he is doing,\u201d Enrique said. \u201cThey are a very complete team.\u201d<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tPSG can complete a remarkable clean sweep of trophies with victory, having won a French league and cup double before claiming the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history at the end of May.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cWe want to finish this historic season in the best possible way,\u201d said the former Barcelona coach.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cNow we must open the next chapter, win more major trophies. We want to make more history by winning on Sunday.\u201d<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tPSG were spellbinding at times in their 4-0 victory against Real Madrid in the semifinals and also put four goals past Atletico Madrid and Lionel Messi\u2019s Inter Miami during the<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tcompetition.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cBut we have to win this game to round things off. However, in a final, there is always a winner and a loser, and that doesn\u2019t mean the loser has necessarily done anything wrong,\u201d Enrique added.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cWe will lose again at some point, because that is what happens in top-level football, but I think the path is clear for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-block block-wrapper block-custom-bg padding-1 bottom-spacer--m\">\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<h4>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"chars-style\">HIGH<\/span>LIGHT<\/h4>\n<p>&#13;\n\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-content\">\n<div class=\"with-separator\">\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tPSG can complete a remarkable clean sweep of trophies with victory, having won a French league and cup double before claiming the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history at the end of May.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThis is the first edition of the 32-team Club World Cup, and whoever wins on Sunday will be world champions for four years, with the next tournament scheduled to take place in 2029.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cWe are aware of the importance of this match, that it is a golden opportunity to be in a World Cup final,\u201d said captain Marquinhos.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cThis only happens every four years, and we don\u2019t know where we will be in four years.\u201d<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tMeanwhile, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez said the scorching heat at the event in the US left him feeling dizzy and described the high temperatures as \u201cdangerous\u201d to play in.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tTuesday\u2019s semifinal between Chelsea and Fluminense which took place at 3 p.m. local time in New Jersey saw temperatures soar past 35 degrees Celsius with over 54 percent humidity, prompting a National Weather Service warning.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tSoaring temperatures in several cities hosting the contest have been a focal point in the tournament, which is seen as a dry run for next year\u2019s men\u2019s World Cup.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cHonestly, the heat is incredible. The other day, I had to lie down on the ground because I was really dizzy,\u201d Fernandez told reporters on Friday.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cPlaying in this temperature is very dangerous, it\u2019s very dangerous. Moreover, for the spectacle, for the people who come to enjoy the stadium, for the people who watch it at home.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cThe game, the speed of the game is not the same, everything becomes very slow.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cLet\u2019s hope that next year they change the schedule, at least so that it remains a beautiful and attractive football spectacle, right?\u201d the 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina added.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tChelsea\u2019s manager has also previously complained about the heat, saying it was \u201cimpossible\u201d to organize regular training sessions in the afternoons in Philadelphia.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\u201cSome places have been really hot, the last round was hot and I was stuck watching it and I was thinking: \u2018wow, this is so tough.\u2019 I felt bad for them but they managed it really well,\u201d Chelsea center back Levi\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\tColwill said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/node\/2607901\/sport\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey: Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has urged his team to round&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3058,3013,5676,5677,7040,7041,264],"class_list":["post-59089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-double","tag-lift","tag-messi","tag-miami","tag-mls","tag-nashville","tag-win"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
