🎙Reece James' Full Pre-PSG/Club World Cup final Press Conference: 🔹Reece James: "We prepare as if we are playing another game. It's a final, but we prepare every game as if we want to win." 🔹Reece James: "This game is a super high level game. They are one of the hottest teams in the world. But this is a final and one-off game. I've been in many finals before where we've been favourites and haven't come out on top. I don't care [who are the favourites]." 🔹Reece James: "The biggest challenge is the circumstances. The travel, quality of the pitch, the climate is so hot." 🔹Reece James on Enzo Fernandez: "Enzo is an amazing player and person. He's come on so much since he arrived at Chelsea. He's a huge part of Chelsea and huge player for our team. He will play a huge part on Sunday." 🔹Reece James: "I wasn't injured. Let's put that to bed. Talking about our two midfielders, Moi and Enzo, two phenomenal players. They're up there with the best in the world. That will be displayed on Sunday. I wasn't feeling so good in the warm up [vs Palmeiras]. I've come a long way with my history. Would I have played? I probably could have. But if I looked back... I thought it was the best decision to not take unnecessary risks." 🔹Reece James: "If we win on Sunday, we would probably be the best on the day. We're striving to get there [to be the best in Europe and the world]. Whether one game decides that is probably up for you to decide." 🔹Reece James: "Stats, data and who is favourites, it doesn't mean anything to me or the team. It's two great, young sides playing against each other on the biggest stage. I believe we will go toe to toe." 🔹Reece James on Joao Pedro: "Joao is an amazing young player. I've played against him many times. I'm not sure how many knew his quality. He made his first start and scored two goals. His quality has opened a lot of peoples eyes. We're happy to have him." 🔹Reece James: “I’m sure the analyst team we have will be looking at the games where PSG haven’t done so well, and we’ll try and adapt to that” #CFC | #Chelsea | #FIFACWC | #Interviews 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC

🚨Atletico’s GOAL now means PSG move to the opposite side of the draw to Chelsea (if we progress). Updated Path: R16 - Bayern Munich or Benfica Q-F - Palmeiras or Botafogo If Inter Miami beat Palmeiras tonight then switch Palmeiras with Inter Miami. But right now that’s the projection. Means nothing if Chelsea can’t beat ES Tunis. #CFC | #Chelsea | #FIFACWC 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC

🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-LAFC Press Conference: 🔹Enzo Maresca: "We need to see the impact of the Club World Cup. Our rivals are on holiday, we are here. It's a new competition. We will see how it affects our season." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "We've only had ten days. Some of the players also had international duty. The feeling when we returned was a bit like pre-season. We had some new players. The main message, though, was, 'Guys, this is not pre-season. It's a big tournament'." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "The situation about the keepers is quite simple. Robert Sanchez is number one. Filip Jorgensen is number two. And we will analyse and judge Mike Penders. Maignan is with another club." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "The players with us were with us last season, [other than] Jadon Sancho and Wesley Fofana due to injury. It was not complicated to pick this squad." 🔹Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer wearing face mask on the plane: "I didn't ask him. He wasn't ill. To be honest, I don't even know if it was for a joke!" 🔹Enzo Maresca: "Jadon [Sancho] is not with us so for sure that is a position we need to do something. We have Noni, Pedro and Ty only as the proper wingers so something for sure is going to happen..." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "For sure, we are going to rotate players. It is impossible in this heat to always play with the same players." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "Success is to try and win tomorrow against Los Angeles. I don't like to look too much further ahead. 2024/25, we achieved an important top-four finish and won a European trophy." 🔹Enzo Maresca: "Liam knows how important the no.9 is for this club. I see Liam relaxed and easy, since he arrived he's working well. I know what he can give us and he knows what he needs to be a better player. As no.9, hopefully he can score goals for us." #CFC | #Chelsea | #FIFACWC | #Interviews 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC
