At 3:00 am on July 14, Chelsea will play against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final. Before the game, Chelsea defender Rees James attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of himself and the team. About...
About preparation
-We treat this game as we do any other game. Although it is a final, our goal in every game is to win.
Regarding the coming versus PSG
- we have not played against them yet, and we expect it to be a very difficult game. They are European champions and all we can do is be fully prepared and face the challenge.
About the importance of this game
- This is a super high-level game, and the opponent is one of the hottest teams in the world. But this is the final, a game of winning or losing. I've experienced many situations that have been favored in the finals, but I didn't win in the end. I don't care who is the hottest.
About the biggest challenge
—The biggest challenge lies in the external environment, long-distance travel, site quality and hot weather.
About Enzo
- Enzo is an incredible player and he is also awesome. He has made great progress since joining Chelsea. He is a big part of the team and will play a major role in Sunday's game.
About your physical state
-I was not injured, this topic can end. Regarding our two midfielders, Kesedo and Enzo, they are both very good players and can be said to be the top in the world. People will see this on Sunday.
About your situation before the match against Palmeiras
- I didn't feel very good when I was warming up. Given my injury history, I decided not to take unnecessary risks. Although I might be able to play, in retrospect, I think that was the best decision. What will
win mean?
-If we can win on Sunday, it means we performed best that day. We are working to be the best team in Europe and even the world, and as for whether a victory is enough to prove it, maybe it is what you are going to decide.
Let's talk about the game against Paris
- statistics, odds and who is the hottest, this doesn't make any sense to me or the team. This is a contest between two young and powerful teams on the highest stage, and I believe we will do our best.
About Joao Pedro
- Joao Pedro is an incredible young player. I have played against him many times. I think maybe many people don't understand his strength yet. He scored 2 goals in his first start for us, showing his abilities and we are glad he is here.
