Before the Club World Cup quarter-finals against Palmeiras, Chelsea defender Rees James said in an interview that the team is fully prepared.
About going against Palmeiras
—We learned a lot when we were against Flamenco in the group stage. They are a tough team and tomorrow's game will be very difficult. We are well prepared to know that we must win this game because there is no second chance.
About the last game against Benfica
- it was a very tired experience, and it felt like the game lasted four or five hours. I believe this will not happen again, but we have recovered and ready for tomorrow's game.
About new player Joao Pedro
- He has shown a very high level in several training sessions, and we are very happy to have him join. I have played against him many times and he is an excellent player and I believe he will bring great performances to us.
