Behind Enemy Lines: Lowdown on the team out to stun Liverpool and put Mexican football on the map Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Monterrey could not be in much better form going into tonight’s FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Liverpool. The CONCACAF champions are on a 14-game unbeaten run under returning manager Antonio Mohamed that has seen them move within two matches of winning Liga MX. But it would still be a huge upset if the Mexican outfit were to beat Liverpool, the European champions. But the Reds did appear weary in their 2-0 triumph over Watford at Anfield at the weekend and their injury-hit squad will have had little time to prepare for the last-four clash at the Khalifa International Stadium having only arrived in Qatar on Sunday. In contrast Monterrey will have been in the country for nine days by the time this evening’s match gets under way. Will that be an advantage? Who are the players Liverpool should look out for? And what kind of game are we expecting? Paul Wheelock speaks Mexican football expert Tom Marshall to find out. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
