June 21 News Recently, Pedro Neto and Cucurella were interviewed by The Mirror, and they talked about their loss to Flamenco and their thoughts on participating in the Club World Cup.
Chelsea embarked on their journey after defeating Los Angeles FC, but lost in the second game against Flamenco and Jackson was also sent off with a red card. Now they have to play Tunisian Hope in their final group match to ensure they advance to the knockout stage.
Chelsea winger Neto believes he will not trade the Club World Cup for holidays: "We have to be grateful, we are here to play in this event." When asked if we would rather be in the United States than the beach, Neto said: "I'm 100% sure we have to enjoy it. There are a lot of players who would want to be in my position. We are always confident. We are Chelsea, we fight for victory, we have an incredible team."
Chelsea defender Cucurella frankly talked about the mistakes they made against Flamengo and admitted that these problems have been around throughout the season: "We need more passes, better control, and don't lose the ball easily."
"This is often the case in the Premier League last season It happened, but we are here to learn, find improvements by watching the video, and then do better in the next game. But we still have a chance to advance now, maybe we can learn from this experience. I think we have a lot of clean opponents in the last ten games, so we do better in that regard. "
" But Flamenco is also a good team, they are in the middle of the season and are better in physical fitness than us. They also play in hot weather, maybe these factors we can control and learn from now, but it's better to happen at this stage rather than in the late rounds. "
Flamenco has beaten Chelsea and Botafogo also unexpectedly beat the pre-match hot Paris Saint-Germain. It would be a surprise if a Brazilian team won the Club World Cup, but Cucurella insists they have the advantage of just starting the season.
The Spanish defender also insisted that the Premier League is still the best league in the world: "I think the Premier League is the best league in the world, but it is true that there are a lot of differences between each team. It's not just one game, you can see other results and their current state is different from those of European teams."
"The European teams also have different conditions, which is not an excuse, but a reality, and one of the reasons. Flamenco has a lot of talented players, but if we fight at another moment, we may be able to beat them. Maybe it's time to lose, and if we can advance, it's time to show our strength."
