(ANSA) – ROME, 11 FEB – Chelsea would make a “huge mistake” to underestimate Palmeiras in the final of the Club World Cup while, scheduled for tomorrow in Abu Dhabi. Word of the blue Jorginho, who after the victory in the Champions League and at the European Championships with Italy dreams of raising the former Intercontinental Cup as well. We will give everything to try to bring this trophy home – Jorginho said at a press conference -. We have a lot of respect for Palmeiras, it is no coincidence that they are here. Anything could happen. The biggest mistake would be to think you are the favorites. “
The Blues, who will be led on the bench by Tuchel recovered from Covid, hope to recover from the defeat against Corinthians ten years ago but since then the trophy has always gone to a European team. “This is a great opportunity for us. Only two English clubs have won the Club World Cup,” said Tuchel’s deputy Low. “If we win the title, Chelsea’s showcase will be completely complete. As for Jorginho, he has a further incentive to beat Palmeiras the club that had rejected him in his youth before his transfer to Italy. “I auditioned when I was about 12 years old and I didn’t make it – explained the blue -. It is crazy to think that we are here 18 years later at the Club World Cup, but it is also the reason why football is so good. “
Palmeiras is also on the hunt for glory. Coach Abel Ferreira is confident that his team can catch up with Corinthians, San Paolo and Santos, who have already won the Intercontinental Cup or the Club World Cup. “It’s been a long time since a South American club won this trophy – he said – and this also shows how big the mountain we have to climb is. But at the same time, we believe it is possible.” (HANDLE).
