Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen says the Membership World Cup shall be probably the most tough tournaments for the group, as they’ll face opponents they know little about.
The Blues are set to start their marketing campaign within the newly expanded 32-team competitors on Monday in opposition to LAFC in Atlanta. They can even tackle Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis in Group D.
Whereas Chelsea are seen as favourites to advance to the knockout stage, Jorgensen believes the true problem lies in making ready for groups they don’t typically observe or play in opposition to.
“We don’t know or perhaps observe these groups as a lot as we do with different groups from Europe, so it’s undoubtedly a bit more durable,” Jorgensen instructed the membership’s official web site. “We are going to attempt to research them as a lot as we are able to in movies and study all of the gamers we’re going to face.”
Jorgensen added that the unfamiliarity provides a layer of issue not often confronted within the Premier League or European competitions, the place groups are extra aware of one another’s model and gamers.
Nonetheless, the Chelsea shot-stopper is happy concerning the problem. “It’s the World Cup to be one of the best on this planet — it’s at all times enjoyable. We’ll have a good time and hopefully we are able to win it.”
Chelsea are hoping to show their high quality on the worldwide stage, simply as they did in opposition to prime European sides throughout the home season.
