PSG v Flamengo: Line-ups, stats and preview
"I like the way they play football, both with and without the ball. They're a team that has worked very hard, and I remember their very interesting matches at the Club World Cup. They're a very interesting team: physically powerful, with very experienced players who know what to do in important matches. It will be very difficult to take the ball from them. I think it will be a great final."
"We have a way of defending; we don't defend against the individual player, we defend against the team, the ball, and we hope to take as much time as possible away from key players, especially in midfield. I have no doubt that we will have the weapons to neutralise PSG's attack. PSG are a team quite similar to Chelsea. Bayern are a very physically strong team. Paris don't have the same brute force profile; their players are light"
PSG will face Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup final at Doha's Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, matching two teams with similar styles. Flamengo arrive in outstanding form, having won Serie A, Campeonato Carioca, Copa Libertadores and Supercopa do Brasil, and reached the final after beating Pyramids 2-0. PSG expect a thrilling final against a physically powerful, experienced Flamengo side that is hard to dispossess. Flamengo plan to defend collectively, manage midfield time, and deploy weapons to neutralise PSG's attack while noting PSG's squad is young, fast and less brute-force oriented than some European rivals.
