Chelsea's performance in the Club World Cup highlights a focus on sporting success over financial gain, according to manager Enzo Maresca. The team, needing to qualify for the knockout stage, faces Esperance de Tunis in a crucial match. Despite significant prize money at stake, Maresca states the ownership does not pressure players regarding financial outcomes. Chelsea has adhered to financial regulations while engaging in high spending, prompting UEFA's investigation into recent transactions involving their hotel properties and women's team, yet insists on prioritizing team success over monetary incentives.
Maresca emphasized that Chelsea's ownership prioritizes success for the club and its supporters over financial gain, stating, 'They are not talking about the final prize or the final reward in terms of money.'
Despite financial scrutiny stemming from large player investments, Maresca affirmed that the owners focus on performance rather than the monetary stakes of the Club World Cup, reinforcing the club's values.
