Club World Cup prize money does not mean more pressure: Chelsea boss Maresca

UNITED STATES, JUN 23 – Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca says the club's owners do not link the $125 million prize money to pressure, focusing instead on sporting success at the FIFA Club World Cup.

  • Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said the club faces a crucial Club World Cup match against Esperance of Tunis on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
  • Maresca explained that despite the $1 billion prize money in the tournament, neither the owners nor players feel extra pressure to win for financial reasons.
  • Chelsea won their opening match 2-0 against Los Angeles FC but lost 3-1 to Flamengo, and must avoid defeat to the Tunisian champions to qualify for the last 16.
  • Former Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero praised Maresca as the most tactically prepared and detail-focused coach he has worked with, highlighting his approach to training and match strategy.
  • If Chelsea advance, they will play a last-16 tie in Charlotte, possibly against Bayern Munich, and Maresca emphasized ongoing tactical evolution despite tough conditions like Philadelphia's heatwave.
