Reece James says Chelsea do not give a damn about Paris Saint-Germain’s ‘favourites’ tag, with the club captain insisting they are ready to go ‘toe to toe’ with their final opponents.
PSG have kept the ball better than anyone at the Club World Cup – they even managed 69 per cent possession versus Real Madrid in the semi-finals – but the Blues intend on challenging that.
Chelsea insiders feel the heat and humidity for this 3pm kick-off in New Jersey would make it more difficult if they simply allowed PSG to dominate the play from start to finish.
