Azpilicueta determined to win first FIFA Club World Cup for Chelsea
Chelsea will return to action tonight in the FIFA Club World Cup when they face Al Hilal in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday night.
Ahead of the match, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has revealed his determination to help the Blues win their first FIFA Club world cup.
Azpilicueta is one of members of the current squad who was part of the one that lost in the final in 2012, which was the Blues first time in the competition.
‘I think after 10 years I’ve realised how difficult it is to win it,’ Azpilicueta told the reporters in Abu Dhabi.
‘We lost the final at that time against Corinthians and I had a different feeling, it was my first season, we were in every competition, maybe it looked like it was easier than it is. And then with time you realise how difficult it is, first of all to qualify in the Premier League for the Champions League, and then go all the way to win that, and then to be here.
‘So we have to make the most of it, starting with tomorrow’s game, but it is going to be very difficult, and hopefully that bad experience will help in this tournament.”
