Captain Reece James: "My dream since childhood was to win a trophy for Chelsea"

In the Club World Cup final, Chelsea showed a dominant performance, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 and lifting this year's Club World Cup trophy. Captain Reece James excitedly said after the game that winning a trophy for the team has been his childhood dream.

This game is the most representative victory of Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca. Chelsea established a huge advantage in the first half. In the 22nd minute, Cole Palmer opened the scoring with a calm low shot, and then scored twice in the 30th minute.

Joao Pedro added another goal before the end of the first half, extending the score to 3-0. In the second half, Chelsea held its defense firmly and completely suppressed PSG's counterattack, and finally won the championship without suspense.

As a player who has grown up in Chelsea's youth training camp since he was 6 years old, James lifted the trophy as captain this time, which was of great significance to him. He said emotionally: "I have dreamed of winning a trophy for Chelsea since I was a child, and today I have realized this dream."

“This is a very important tournament, and it’s incredible to be able to win the trophy on such a stage. More importantly, my family and friends are here. This moment is something I will never forget.”

James also admitted that the team encountered considerable challenges when facing Paris Saint-Germain: "We know this game will not be easy. The opponent is very strong. Many times we can't control the rhythm of the game. But we always stay united and go all out."
