The team of Enzo Maresca seemed to go through the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in an uncomplicated manner after Captain Reece James’ excellent freelancer in the second half had only postponed the last four minutes of the game after a delay of the storm that lasted almost two hours.
Angel di Maria’s last punishment did the matter for Chelsea when the match was finally resumed, the matter was worse and they were brought into extra time, where goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall finally saw them 4: 1 winner in one game that took almost five hours until they were completed.
Maresca called the situation “a joke” and claimed that such repeated delays led to the fact that the United States was probably not the right choice of the hosts for the opening world championship with 32 teams, but now his team has to quickly return to Philadelphia, Chelsea’s basis, for the competition against Flamengo and the Tunis-Tunis Base in the group, which lost in the Group climb. Group that lost to Flamengo in the group were fast, probably not the right selection.
A Heatwave in Philadelphia led to Maresca that it complained that it was “impossible” to train correctly, although Chelsea is at least strengthened by the arrival of the Brazilian striker Joao Pedro, who flies to the USA to sign a medical contract for a transfer transfer of over 60 million GBP from Brighton.
Can Estevao Willian play at the Club World Championship against Chelsea?
While Pedro was able to play a role in Chelsea in addition to previous newcomers Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr at the Club World Championship, the prospective colleagues, Jamie Gitten, are not allowed to play in the competition around Borussia Dortmund.

For Estevao Willian it is another situation that Chelsea agreed to sign from Palmeiras for an initial fee of 29 million GBP, which could increase with add-ons over 50 million GBP.
The deal was first agreed in May 2024 that the teenager’s sensation arrived in Brazil at the Stamford Bridge this summer after a last season, in which Neymar referred to him as the future superstar and new Selecao chief Carlo Ancelotti as “special talent”.

Chelsea later agreed that Estevao stayed for the World Cup at Palmeiras, where he delivered in the opening games against Porto and Al Ahly Man-of-the-Match display and also against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami as Abel Ferreiras team with the goal difference against the Champions League winners of the Champions League-Saint-Botage Boag-Boag-Botag-Botag increase.

Estevao played another key role in this games when Palmeiras won 1-0 with the kind permission of Paulinho’s extension efforts to become the first team in the district.
Chelsea fans have wondered since the Knockout was confirmed when Estevao is an option that he would go against the club after the tournament, and the answer is that it is.
It is assumed that there is no agreement with Palmeiras or anything that are included in the regulations of the FIFA Club World Cup that would prevent him from playing in Philadelphia on Friday evening.
