Chelsea is getting ready to face Brazilian team Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup.
This match will take place in Philadelphia and is expected to be very exciting.
One interesting thing about the game is that Flamengo’s coach, Filipe Luís, used to play for Chelsea.
Chelsea Looking Strong Under New Coach
Chelsea recently beat LAFC 2-0 and looked well-organized. Their coach, Enzo Maresca, seems to be building a strong team.

Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez scored the goals in that match.
A young player, Liam Delap, also played well by assisting a goal. He might start in the next game instead of Nicolas Jackson.
Another new player, Dario Essugo, came off the bench and did a good job too.
Chelsea hopes to keep winning and secure a spot in the next round.
Flamengo Is in Great Shape
Flamengo has been doing very well in Brazil. They are at the top of the league and haven’t lost in 15 of their last 16 games.
Their defense is super strong—they’ve kept seven clean sheets in their last eight matches.
Flamengo also added Jorginho to their team. He used to play for Chelsea and Arsenal.
His experience might help Flamengo against Chelsea’s midfielders.
Who Will Play?
Coach Maresca might make a few changes. He could bring in Trevoh Chalobah to play in defense with Levi Colwill.
Tosin Adarabioyo may get a rest. Delap might start up front, while Jackson could come off the bench.
Young defender Mamadou Sarr might also get a chance to play if Chelsea takes control early in the match.
