Chelsea is preparing to face Fluminense in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, marking their third encounter with Brazilian teams in three weeks. Flamengo, who had previously defeated Chelsea, are out of the competition. Fluminense enters the match with strong form, unbeaten in eleven games and with a recent victory against Al-Hilal. Defender Malo Gusto acknowledged the strength of Brazilian teams, emphasizing the need for Chelsea to perform well. Fluminense, despite lacking financial resources compared to their opponents, expresses a sense of joy and belief in their capabilities to succeed against the odds.
Defender Malo Gusto stated, "The Brazilian teams are doing very well during this competition. We just need to be ourselves, dig deep and try to win."
Full-back Rene expressed, "Sometimes when we're on the bus or at dinner, we look around and say 'do you realise this is a World Club Cup semi-final?"
Rene added, "But those who work with us day to day know that we always believed. The opponents are favourites against us, but it has worked out this way."
