Live bar On February 10, in the early morning of Beijing time, in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Chelsea's 1-0 small victory in Yad Crescent advanced to the final, and midfielder Kovacic was named the best player of the game - into 2022, the 27-year-old Croatian international is getting better and better: he took the lead for his team in the Premier League game that was two goals behind and finally tied Liverpool, and wore the Chelsea captain's armband for the first time after 6 days. After the game, he was interviewed on the official WEBSITE OF FIFA.
Speaking about his performance, Kovacic said he was "completely satisfied" but also said: "I still made some unforced mistakes that I wouldn't normally make, but in the end [I won] I was happy." ”
Kovacic then praised team-mate Kepa for his performance – the Spaniard saved the 1-0 score brought by Romelu Lukaku with two brilliant saves. He said: "Kepa is a world-class goalkeeper. We were lucky to have three world-class goalkeepers on the team. We're happy to see Kepa's performance reach this level, but we're also used to it. For us, this is nothing new. It's a very tough game and the Club World Cup semi-finals are always hard to play. I think we should have scored the second goal and made the situation a little easier, but we were happy to finally qualify. ”
Chelsea have reached a Club World Cup final in history, but lost to Corinthians. Looking ahead to this time against palmeiras in the final, Kovacic said: "We know how enthusiastic the Brazilian fans are. We can imagine it's going to be a tough, very difficult game, but we're very much looking forward to Saturday's final. Winning one more final will be a joy. In any event, it is not easy to reach the final, let alone the Club World Cup! You must first qualify for the Champions League, win the Champions League and then win the Club World Cup semi-finals. ”
"Now we have one game left. It won't be easy, but we'll do everything we can to get the trophy back. ”
