<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\nPorto coach Martin Anselmi stressed that no Club World Cup game will be easy for his team.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese giants opened up their campaign with a 0-0 draw against three-time Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Palmeiras were the dominant side, creating chances worth 2.1 expected goals. That is the highest xG conceded by a side in a Club World Cup game in which they also kept a clean sheet, with Porto\u2019s stand-in goalkeeper Claudio Ramos making a string of fine stops as he deputised for the injured Diogo Costa.<\/p>\n
The result marked the second 0-0 of the tournament, with both of those coming in Group A following Inter Miami\u2019s goalless draw with Al Ahly in the opening match.<\/p>\n
Indeed, it was a similar story for Miami, who relied on the excellent work of their goalkeeper Oscar Ustari, who made eight saves, his joint-most in a match since joining the club last year, registering a goals-prevented value of 2.99. <\/p>\n
Porto and Miami meet on Thursday, and Anselmi refuted the suggestion that his team had already faced their toughest opponent in the group stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important game is the next one. Winning now is not easy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are no easy opponents; no one gives anything away. In one of the games [Bayern Munich 10-0 Auckland City], there was a significant score difference, but in our group, it\u2019s different.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe next two opponents are of a high level. It\u2019s good that we started with Palmeiras \u2014 this match set a good rhythm that we need to maintain. In that sense, starting with such an opponent was beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n
Palmeiras had 39 touches in Porto\u2019s box, which is the most the Portuguese side have allowed an opponent to have in a single game since October last year, when Manchester United managed 42 in a Europa League fixture.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur main objective was to compete, and we truly did compete,\u201d added Anselmi, whose team have kept back-to-back clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since December.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have just completed our [pre-tournament] preparation, and this was our first match at such intensity and pace. We played well in the first half and for about ten minutes into the second. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe defended well, understanding how to close down spaces. We found some good passes, but we lacked precision. We had good moments, very clear chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cClaudio showed his level. He\u2019s been with the club for five years and has played in important matches. We were calm about him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver time, we lost our rhythm and control of the ball, but not of the game. One must learn to fight until the end. I am satisfied with how the players battled.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miami may have Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets, but Javier Mascherano\u2019s team are in poor form.<\/p>\n
They have won only three of their last 11 matches in all competitions (D3 L5), with all three of those wins coming at home. Miami have not won a match away from Chase Stadium since a 1-0 victory at Columbus Crew on 19 April, and they have lost five of their last seven matches at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, which will host Thursday\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
