Chelsea captain Reece James anticipates no weather delays in their upcoming match against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea experienced a nearly two-hour delay in their last match against Benfica, which disrupted their momentum before winning 4-1 in extra time. James emphasizes the importance of maintaining game structure to achieve their goals. Palmeiras also faced extra time in their last game, but manager Abel Ferreira remains confident, highlighting strong team performance and a desire to learn from previous matches. Both teams are currently positioned fourth in their respective leagues.
"It wasn't probably the most difficult [game] for 85 minutes and then we had to sit and wait for I don't know how long. It took a lot out of the players."
"We have confidence in what our goals are going into the game - how we want to play, our structure, defensively and offensively. That's more important to us."
