Chelsea face Flamengo tonight in the Club World Cup’s Matchday 2, and Enzo Maresca took his pre-match press conference last night where he was asked a little about what team he was going to

Enzo Maresca said he has challenged Cole Palmer to be more creative and "take initiative" after the England playmaker claimed he was "sick of going backwards or sideways" during the Conference League final in May.

Maresca’s Chelsea had more of the ball than ever but less to show for it. A system once brimming with transition threat was now chewing up possession for its own sake. And like Captain Ahab chasing his white whale through the mist, Maresca pressed forward, certain that if his team just believed harder, the breakthrough would come.
