The biggest bug in the reorganized Club World Cup selection team is that it just skipped the season that should be referenced most

The first Club World Cup after the restructuring has ended. How do you feel? There must be a long-term process when new things are accepted. But it has to be said that the football atmosphere in the United States is incomparable to that in Europe, and there is always a sense of incongruity when looking at the number of spectators on the stadium and how the players play. Americans play football, which is indeed different from Europeans. For fans who are more familiar with European football, all this has become a point deduction, just like the 2010 World Cup that keeps lingering in their ears.

The performance of participating teams can be said to be uneven. Some people deal with the competition with a training attitude, some people come to get the bonus, and some people take as much as they can, and some people are passively slacking off just to end the competition early and enjoy the holiday. In short, this is a large-scale event that is not very exciting, at least it is incomparable to the World Cup that was also held in June and July. Some people may say that if you want to ensure the excitement of the game, just move all the European giants here to play. But the Club World Cup is the same as the World Cup in this regard, focusing on a global scale. We always have to give teams from other continents some opportunities, right? If you really want to watch a showdown, then wait for the quarterfinals and quarterfinals. But global events focus on lively and influential, so teams on every continent can choose some representatives to participate.

But the question is, who should I choose? This is what I think is the most unreasonable thing about the new version of the Club World Cup, or the biggest bug hidden in the selection system. Let me put it this way, is there any team you think you have to come but didn’t come in this Club World Cup? There are two words: Barcelona and Liverpool. Such two strong teams did not participate in the Club World Cup. Isn’t this equivalent to Spain and England missing the World Cup together? From the 24th to 25th season, Barcelona achieved a double championship and announced its return with a strong performance. Liverpool also completed its transformation after changing coaches and won the Premier League championship in one fell swoop. The new champions in the five major leagues, the Premier League and La Liga did not participate in the next Club World Cup. Is this more like a joke? The biggest bug in the selection system is that it just skipped the season that should be referenced the most. That is, the season that just ended before the Club World Cup. We won’t talk about other continents, just Europe. Dortmund represents the Bundesliga to participate. Which league place do they win in the 24th to 25th season? fourth. Yes, it's right, and he even won a Champions League place, but the question is, are Leverkusen and Frankfurt more qualified to appear in the Club World Cup than Dortmund? At least, this season, Leverkusen's performance in the third-line battle is definitely above Dortmund. Needless to say, Barcelona is definitely worthy of participating in the competition than Atletico Madrid. In the Premier League, although Chelsea did win the Club World Cup championship, aren’t it better to be matched before the game, Liverpool and Arsenal, which are ranked higher in the Premier League? I feel that the selection criteria for the Club World Cup are very strange. It is OK to look at the Champions League results, and it is OK to look at the four-year report card, but the problem is that the most timely year has just jumped over. Let's assume that, note that if the 2021 Champions League champion Chelsea is relegated in 2025, then they can also participate in the 2025 Club World Cup as the champion of that year. Then, the Club World Cup is equivalent to inviting a quasi-Champions League team. Yes, he was the former Champions League champion, but he could better represent their strength. Isn’t he who is now the English Championship identity? In a major competition, the stronger the teams participating in the competition are, the more exciting the competition is, and the more highlights it is. And isn’t the one that guarantees this the most important season? I don’t know how many more exciting possibilities have been erased by the establishment of this rule. Of course, from the timeline, there is also something helpless. After all, if we refer to the results of the 24-25 seasons, it will be too late to arrange the schedule. But perhaps this rule is debatable from the beginning. I think that at a certain point in the future, the Club World Cup will definitely modify the selection rules. After all, there is no Liverpool and Barcelona in the 2025 Club World Cup. It is not the regret of their two teams, but the regret of the Club World Cup.
