π£ EstevΓ£o on facing Messi:
βHeβs a player I have always looked up to. When I was a kid, I would watch videos of him, then go out to the pitch and try to copy what I had seen.
As soon as the final whistle blows, Iβm going to run to him so we can swap shirts. But before that, Iβll be giving my everything so Palmeiras walk off the field with three points.β

Enzo Maresca on Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson:
"I don't think at Leicester we ever played with two strikers together, but we'll see if Nico and Liam can play together."
On Mykhailo Mudryk:
"I spoke with Mischa in Poland when we played the Conference League Final. We haven't spoken since. There is nothing I can add. I don't have more information."
"Misha is a Chelsea player. Until he is not, I will trust. It's not just about Mischa. It's in
general [with all the players]."
On Marc Cucurella:
"Marc is very intelligent. When he has to go, when he has to stay. He is playing fantastic. He has played four, five different positions. He's very good at defending, scoring goals for us."
On USA temperatures:
"It's not easy. This is the reason why we will try to rotate players. It's for the other teams [as well]. We will try to do our best and win the game [vs Flamengo]."
"We try to train less, or at least we try to prioritise the things that are very important, especially in tactical aspects. With the amount of games, the amount of sessions, it's impossible for them as human beings to be fit for 11 months."
On Flamengo:
"They are very good team. They play nice football. They have many good players. The manager is a former player. Watching them you realise they are a very good team with very good organisation, full of quality, technical players."
On Noni Madueke's future:
"Noni is our player. In this moment, you can read many speculation [about players]. We consider Noni as our player for next season."
"The feeling that we have, it's like pre-season. The reason why is because we finished our season in Europe and then days off, then start again. It's not pre-season, it's the Club World Cup. We are here to go as far in this competition."
"No injuries at the moment. We need to rotate players. I'm not saying we will rotate 10, 11 players [every game]. We cannot play every game with the same players."
On Moises Caicedo:
"He is good everywhere. Other than 'keeper, he can play everywhere. We know that Moi can play in different positions, in the attacking phase. If he is playing attacking, that means Enzo or Cole is not playing [there]. It's a matter of balance."
On Cole Palmer and no.10 shirt:
"No, no [I was not involved]. I don't care about the numbers! It's a player matter. I have no doubt that Cole can wear the no.10 shirt."
"We had already one entire season already without Misha. We are going to decide to go for a winger [with or without Mischa]. In both cases, we have Madueke and Neto as proper wingers, then we try to adapt with Tyrique. It's a position we need to improve."
Thatβs all from the gaffer for now!
