๐ฃ๏ธEnzo Maresca ahead of Benfica in the Club World Cup round of 16:
๐ต๐น ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐:
โI think Benfica โ not only in this competition but always โ are a big club in Europe. In the last game, they beat Bayern Munich, which shows how good they are and what they are able to do.
โI think itโs going to be a balanced game. In this tournament, at this stage and these conditions, itโs difficult to see a big difference between teams. So Iโm quite sure itโs going to be a balanced game, a tough game, and in this kind of game, the small details are very important.โ
๐ ๏ธ ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐๐ค๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐:
โNow weโre in a knockout game and in a knockout game anything can happen. That is not just for us, itโs for every club, and the players are aware that at this moment the team that makes the most mistakes will be the team that are back home the day after.
โThe most important thing is the way we prepare ourselves. Itโs very complicated at this moment, for many reasons, to see games where the difference between the two teams is big. They are more or less very close, and itโs a game where the details are going to make the difference.โ
๐ค ๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐จ๐ฌ:
โHeโs working well with us, and had a very good season with Strasbourg. I see him more like Enzo Fernandez, as an attacking midfielder not a defensive midfielder. Heโs more like Enzo [Fernandez] than Moi [Caicedo] or [Romeo] Lavia.โ

Moises Caicedo is simply incredible. Deservedly named POTM.
The best midfielder in the world at the moment. He went down injured and after a 2 hour delay played like that in extra time. Crucial to the winner and also got an assist. Running out of words to praise him. Unfortunately suspended next game but Enzo and Lavia should be fine and he gets a deserved rest.
Caicedo registered more successful passes (116), more successful passes into the final third (20) and more successful tackles (3) than any other Chelsea player against Benfica. #CFC #CWC

No club has generated more big chances created than Chelsea (18) so far during the Club World Cup. Enzo Marescaโs Chelsea.
