Reese James: The weather and venue conditions are not good today, so I am happy that the Blues advanced

June 29th, this morning, in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup, Chelsea eliminated Benfica 4-1 to advance, Rees James scored the first goal for the team through a free kick, and he was interviewed after the game.

About this game, this game was very difficult for us, the pace of the game was constantly interrupted, the climate and venue conditions were not very good, and the turf balls on this court rolled very slowly on it, which made us feel a little awkward. The game was interrupted for so long after 85 minutes (due to weather reasons), we had to calm ourselves down first and then restart after a while, but we were still very happy that the team finally won and advanced.

What were you doing during the period when the game was interrupted?

While listening to music and keeping relaxed, we do some restorative exercises, such as pedaling or stretching our bodies.

Regarding the free kick I scored today

I saw that the opponent's goalkeeper's position was too far off and he left me too much space, so I decided to shoot.

About Chelsea scored a penalty by the opponent after the game resumed and dragged into overtime

At that time, there was not much time left in the game. That penalty kick was a heavy blow to us, but Chelsea quickly adjusted and we proved ourselves, we scored three goals in overtime and won the game.

The red card that Benfica received had an impact on the subsequent games.
