‼️Maresca made it sound as if he is trying to find new solutions ahead of next season – maybe he wants to starts using Palmer on the right-hand side more than he has been, who knows – and the Blues boss suggested the experiment worked for an hour-ish.

Brazilian sides are unbeaten at the Club World Cup. Palmeiras, Botafogo, Fluminense and Flamengo have not lost a single game.

But then there are a few reasons for that, perhaps. Flamengo, for example, have played only 11 games in their domestic season whereas this match represented Chelsea's 59th of 2024-25.

The Brazilians are used to playing in 30-odd degrees whereas Chelsea are not.

🗣 Jorginho:

“Jackson is so good and he is young and he has the quality the club needs. He will surpass this little mistake. I think the red was clear, but it is just a small detail for a big player, and he can be one of the biggest strikers in the world.”

🗣 Moises Caicedo:

"You need to be focused for the full game because one second you switch off, then that’s what can happen, We need to react. We are now focused on the next game. It will be a tough game, but we will prepare from tomorrow."

"In the second half, they were better, they pressed better and we found some space, but for sure it was complicated."

"The team was playing well, but you need to be focused for 95 minutes. Otherwise, in one second, you can lose the game. That is what happened."

Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has Jamie Gittens on his shortlist. He is said to be in dialogue with the player's side. A transfer fee of more than 60 million euros is rumoured for the Englishman. A bidding war with Chelsea could be expensive.

🗣Pedro Neto:

“They had more desire than us to win the game and after the red card, the game was I think finished.”

🗣 Frank Leboeuf:

"They [Chelsea] finished fourth because the league wasn’t good last season and if you want too much and you expect too much from Chelsea you’re a fool."

"You really are a fool because this thing is settled on something very fragile. They don’t have as I have always demanded one or two experienced players where you can put the basics on."

‼️There are question marks about Nicolas Jackson's long-term future at Chelsea - not because of his latest red card but because so many clubs want to sign a striker this summer.

🚨 Nicolas Jackson is not for sale at the moment but has attracted interest from 3 premier league clubs as well as teams in Europe and Saudi Arabia. Italian interested sides may not be able to afford wages and the transfer fee Chelsea would ask for which would lead to a potential sale.

Chelsea may still sign another striker this summer.

🗣 Marc Cucurella:

"I think in a lot of games we are doing well. In the last ten games we played, we had a lot of clean sheets so we are doing better in this aspect, but Flamengo also have a good team and they are in the middle of the season and physically did better than us in this moment."

🗣 Marc Cucurella:

"Flamengo have a lot of talent but if we play in another moment, then we can maybe beat them. Maybe now is the moment to lose and if we go through that is the moment to show our qualities. We can still go through and we can learn from this and that’s it."

🗣 Moisés Caicedo:

🚨 🔵 Chelsea are being offered goalkeepers on daily basis by important agents, they are trusting what they have but I am told the goalkeeper situation at Chelsea may not be over, later in the window let’s see if they re-activate Maignan deal or a new goalkeeper target.
