In the final of the Club World Cup, Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 and successfully won the cup.

In this game, facing Paris Saint-Germain's play, Maresca made targeted arrangements, gave up the battle to possess the ball, and used Rees James to partner with Kessedo to form a double midfielder, and Enzo assisted in defense, strangled Vitinia to shoot the ball in the midfield, making it difficult for Paris' system to operate.

In the whole game, Paris Saint-Germain did not have a good chance of scoring. Only in the 16th minute of the game, Douai received a pass from Fabian Ruiz at the back point, which was a certain threat, but he did not choose to shoot. In addition, Douai received a diagonal pass from Dembele. This time, he chose to shoot by himself, but was confiscated by Sanchez.

In the second half, Colville made a mistake in clearing, and Dembele's shot from a little outside the small penalty area line was saved by Sanchez. Then Paris no longer had a threatening offensive. Facing the Blues' iron-blooded defense, Paris doesn't have many ways. Chelsea has many good opportunities. In addition to the goals of Palmer's double shots and Joao Pedro, Chelsea also has Drapp's single shot that he didn't grasp.

It can be said that in this game, Maresca won the tactics completely. As Guardiola's former assistant coach, plus the similar appearance of the two, and the characteristics of "studying" in the key battle, although the tactics are not like Guardiola, and even go in the opposite direction, does Maresca think of Guardiola this night in some ways?
