Neto: You will know everything when you look at the trophy that Paris won. Let s stop them from winning the cup again

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto was interviewed before the Club World Cup final and looked forward to the upcoming peak showdown with Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese international not only expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, but also praised the national team teammate Nuno Mendes.

Regarding the team's Club World Cup performance, we are very satisfied with the results we have achieved so it is an incredible achievement to reach the finals, and we have learned a lot from previous games. For example, I have never played against a Brazilian team before, but it was a good challenge and the entire team has become more mature. We went through different stages than early in the season, and the team also knew how to deal with these difficult moments.

I am very happy about my personal performance

being able to play nearly 60 games in the club and the national team. I became more confident and more adapted to the team's playing style. I'm happy that I can help the team, not just because of the goal.

About opponent Paris Saint-Germain

At this moment, they are the strongest team in the world. Just look at the trophy they won and know everything. We came here to prevent them from winning the cup again, and we wanted to win the first Club World Cup in club history. We need to play our own games and focus on ourselves. With the strength we have and this team, we believe we can win. If we don’t believe in ourselves, no one will believe in us.

About possible face-to-face with Portugal teammate Nuno Mendes

Nuno is an incredible player. I played side by side with him in the last two games of the national team, and playing football with him was a pleasure. It's a little harder to play against him, but it's going to be a great showdown. I don't know if I'll play on his side, but I know I'll enjoy this tough battle and I like to compete with the strongest players. He is one of the best players in this position, and even the best in the world.

About the new player Joao Pedro

He showed strong confidence and personality, and I believe he will bring a lot to the team. He will undoubtedly be a great signing for us.
