Cucurella was shown a red card: Jackson must learn from this


In the focus match of the second round of the 2025 Club World Cup Group D, the Premier League giants Chelsea took the lead with a goal scored by Pedro Neto in the first half, but they kept conceding goals in the second half and Jackson was sent off, and finally lost to Flamengo 1-3. Cucurella said that Jackson felt very sad, but also hoped that his teammates could continue to learn from the game.


In the 13th minute of the game, Pedro Neto won the ball and shot it in, helping Chelsea take the lead 1-0.


In the 62nd minute of the second half, Gerson took a corner kick, Gonzalo Plata headed the ball, and Bruno Henrique pushed it into the empty goal, helping Flamengo to tie the score at 1-1. Only 3 minutes later, Flamengo attacked with another corner kick, Bruno Henrique headed the ball in front of the goal, and Danilo volleyed it in, helping Flamengo to overtake 2-1.


In the 68th minute, Jackson stepped on the foot of Flamengo defender Elden Lucas while trying to grab the ball, and was sent off by the referee, leaving Chelsea with only 10 players. In the 83rd minute, Gonzalo Plata assisted Wallace to score, helping Flamengo extend its lead to 3-1.


In the end, Chelsea lost 1-3 to Flamengo at Lincoln Financial Field.


Chelsea defender Cucurella said, "Jackson felt very sad. He just wanted to fight for the ball, but unfortunately kicked the opponent's feet. He is a very talented young player, but he may need to improve a little bit in these details."


"But he has to learn from it. The manager spoke to everyone and he apologized. He didn't mean it. He is a very important player for us and we will be without him in the next game, but that's football."


In addition, Flamengo coach Filipe Luis, who played for Chelsea, said of Jackson, "Jackson is an excellent player. He is still young and has the strength the club needs. He will come out of this small mistake."


"I think it was a clear red card, but it's just a detail and he still has the potential to be one of the top strikers in the world."


As for Flamengo's achievement, Filipe Luis said, "I am very satisfied with the game. From the beginning we believed that we would have a chance."


"I know the quality of European clubs, especially the elite teams. There are 12 really top clubs in the world. I was surprised by the result. They are not very adapted to this hot and humid climate."
