:00:34. > :00:38.Good afternoon. Welcome to the Club World Cup. Highlights of Chelsea's
:00:38. > :00:41.semi-final against Monterrey to come, with the blues looking to add
:00:41. > :00:51.the world title to the Champions League title they won so
:00:51. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :00:59.I don't think I have ever seen an English team beat a German team on
:00:59. > :01:05.penalties. He has done it! Chelsea are
:01:05. > :01:12.champions of Europe! Big names came and went in the
:01:12. > :01:15.summer, with the new signings promising much. Beautifully done. A
:01:15. > :01:23.sensational goal. It but they failed to deliver when it counted
:01:23. > :01:29.most. Chelsea have been well beaten here
:01:29. > :01:36.by the Italian champions. And lo, he arrived. Rafa Benitez,
:01:36. > :01:43.not the special one, but more like the only one.
:01:43. > :01:53.And a turning fortunes followed - eventually. -- and up 10 in
:01:53. > :01:54.
:01:54. > :01:58.But can they keep it going in Japan?
:01:58. > :02:02.With me in the studio this afternoon is Pat Nevin and Robbie
:02:02. > :02:12.Savage. We will get their thoughts after we have seen the game itself.
:02:12. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:21.From Yokohama, Japan, here are your Welcome to Chelsea's debut in the
:02:21. > :02:27.Club World Cup. The first thing to say is that they definitely do not
:02:27. > :02:30.have 72,000 in the stadium. Those that are here are enthusiastic and
:02:30. > :02:38.keen to see whether the champions of Europe can, as expected, get
:02:38. > :02:43.through against the CONCACAF champions of 2011-2012. Whatever
:02:43. > :02:48.your views on this competition and how it has been taken by English
:02:48. > :02:53.teams in the park, once you are in it, you might as well try to win it.
:02:53. > :02:58.-- in the past. It is prestigious in other parts of the world,
:02:59. > :03:01.particularly in the Americas. Let's particularly in the Americas. Let's
:03:01. > :03:09.take a look at the two teams. We will start with the Mexicans,
:03:09. > :03:13.Monterrey. Every one of this 11 played in this competition last
:03:13. > :03:23.year, when they went out in the quarter-final and ended up in fifth
:03:23. > :03:31.
:03:31. > :03:41.place. The key players are the changes from that which won at
:03:41. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:53.Fernando Torres we have watched in the last couple of matches. He is
:03:53. > :03:58.United again with Rafa Benitez. Chelsea seemed to have the local
:03:58. > :04:04.support, too. They have been mobbed ever since their arrival. Mark,
:04:04. > :04:14.when the way here with your report, did you get that treatment? -- when
:04:14. > :04:14.
:04:14. > :04:24.you were here. Absolutely not! Monterrey are known as the striped
:04:24. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:39.ones back home. They certainly Rafa Benitez has taken charge that
:04:39. > :04:50.
:04:50. > :05:00.he has deployed all three behind Mikel, and that is what he is doing,
:05:00. > :05:00.
:05:00. > :05:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:05:49. > :05:57.That is why people like to see him playing further forward. He is such
:05:58. > :06:07.a good footballer. What a touch this is. He is better when there's
:06:08. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:31.no restraints on him. He comes out, make some noise. -- fans. They
:06:31. > :06:39.don't have as many as Corinthians. They have made the final. An
:06:40. > :06:44.estimated number of 20,000 have come in from Brazil. Part of the
:06:44. > :06:49.reason this competition is so feted in South America is the need to be
:06:49. > :06:59.seen as the best club side in the world. For so long, brazil has had
:06:59. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:07:56. > :08:06.David Luiz in that role at Elland dog dog dogs couldn't get the
:08:06. > :08:16.
:08:16. > :08:24.the opposition. A lovely ball inside the full-back. He should
:08:24. > :08:34.have scored there. It is Benitez' 23rd day in the job,
:08:34. > :08:50.
:08:50. > :09:00.Great play here. He just sort of let it hit him and roll off, more
:09:00. > :09:11.
:09:11. > :09:20.free shot at goal. Not just a mistake by the fact he did not
:09:20. > :09:30.react to the fact he had made a mistake. He is like, keeper, no,
:09:30. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :10:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:10:12. > :10:16.Ivanovic was under a bit of scored the first goal. It has been
:10:16. > :10:26.coming from the start. Juan Mata has now scored in four games in a
:10:26. > :10:36.row. It is just from here. He has a little look. Simple. Chelsea made
:10:36. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:46.the game look very simple there. That is his 11th for the season.
:10:46. > :10:56.Frank Lampard doesn't look too pleased not to be starting. Hazard
:10:56. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:13.I don't know what Sergio is complaining about. That is
:11:13. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :12:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:12:01. > :12:11.something that wouldn't happen in Cahill, but once you are up there,
:12:11. > :12:11.
:12:11. > :14:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:14:08. > :14:18.to set himself. They have had a rarity. A collector's item.
:14:18. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :15:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:15:19. > :15:27.Monterrey equaliser before the going to come from. They cross into
:15:27. > :15:32.the box. And Aldo de Nigris managers to get that opportunity.
:15:32. > :15:37.Quite a difficult chance. Trying to turn and flicker towards the goal
:15:37. > :15:41.rather than coming on to it. looks more confident in the job
:15:41. > :15:47.from that first game against Manchester City when he was pretty
:15:47. > :15:51.much listening to the crowd. Now, he is in charge. Yes. No great
:15:51. > :15:55.pressure on Chelsea here, is there? Just one minute to be added on to
:15:55. > :16:03.the end of the first half. Benitez will be delighted with what has
:16:03. > :16:13.happened so far. He will just on that second goal. -- want that
:16:13. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:50.second goal. The chance of the been a very comfortable first half
:16:50. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:57.for Chelsea. He has scored the only goal of the game so far. And it
:16:57. > :17:04.came in the 17th minute. After great approach work. Rafa Benitez's
:17:04. > :17:14.team have been in cruise control, passing the ball around nicely.
:17:14. > :17:46.
:17:46. > :17:50.David Luiz was particularly Chelsea have taken just 20 seconds
:17:50. > :17:59.in the second half to score. The defender did job of trying to save
:17:59. > :18:08.it. -- did the job. I think for a lot of people, it looked like it
:18:08. > :18:14.had gone into the side-netting. Brilliant. Eden Hazard. He left the
:18:14. > :18:22.right back completely for dead. Bang, that was gone, accelerating.
:18:22. > :18:27.Great pass. And the benefit of the defection. What a start that is.
:18:27. > :18:35.was convinced it had gone wide at first. That was a massive
:18:35. > :18:45.deflection. Going so wide. Little chance for Jonathan Orozco. And
:18:45. > :18:47.
:18:47. > :18:53.what a start to the second half. Taps away by Branislav Ivanovic.
:18:53. > :18:59.And Fernando Torres makes it five goals in three games for himself.
:18:59. > :19:03.Half-time team talk, come on, boys. But it to bed early. I wonder if
:19:03. > :19:06.Fifa will adopt the same rules we have seen in the Premier League and
:19:06. > :19:16.the fact that seemed to be going so far wide, that might make it an own
:19:16. > :19:18.
:19:18. > :19:28.goal. Maybe when it left his but it was flying between the posts. --
:19:28. > :19:29.
:19:29. > :19:39.his boot. That has just completely changed things. Great burst of pace.
:19:39. > :19:49.
:19:49. > :19:55.Juan Mata going in. Three? He has got the third. And that was an own
:19:55. > :20:00.goal, on hold over his own line by Darvin Chavez. Juan Mata was trying
:20:01. > :20:07.to be unselfish. Great ball from Fernando Torres. Absolutely
:20:07. > :20:17.brilliant. He bent that around the defenders running back. Game over,
:20:17. > :20:17.
:20:17. > :21:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:21:09. > :21:17.pulled back four Fernando Torres. - - for. Great control. David Luiz.
:21:17. > :21:20.Jonathan Orozco can only parry. So quick to get onto that loose ball.
:21:20. > :21:30.Monterrey need to get everybody back four a few minutes because
:21:30. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:16.they have just been absolutely Frank Lampard. Fernando Torres.
:22:16. > :22:22.Juan Mata. He is offside. And he missed the target. It did not
:22:22. > :22:32.matter in the end. Chelsea just can't think Monterrey well done,
:22:32. > :22:39.
:22:39. > :22:48.aren't they? -- carving. He nearly got away with another poor touch,
:22:48. > :22:58.there. Didn't he? Jesus Corona, he has been the brightest spark from
:22:58. > :23:00.
:23:01. > :23:09.Monterrey and he has won the corner. The name on the back of his shirt...
:23:09. > :23:19.Jesus C. He made that saved. Chelsea had gone to sleep a little
:23:19. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:51.Back with Darvin Chavez again. Here his Juan Mata running through, with
:23:51. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :23:57.Fernando Torres to the right. Here is Fernando Torres. Chelsea corner.
:23:57. > :24:07.Wasn't a great first touch from Fernando Torres. It proved to be
:24:07. > :24:10.
:24:10. > :24:17.his undoing. Fernando Torres has pulled out of the box. Looking
:24:17. > :24:27.ahead to next week... Ramirez has been suspended for the Leeds United
:24:27. > :24:27.
:24:27. > :25:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:25:20. > :25:30.game. David Luiz will have to play might have missed it that a little
:25:30. > :25:40.
:25:40. > :25:48.bit. -- mishit. He has won that battle, the only one on the field.
:25:48. > :25:58.And the shot. It was not hit all but a brilliantly. He went by
:25:58. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:20.on to it. He has only played 12 games for them. The signs are, they
:26:20. > :26:30.are not sure. Chelsea have already signed a right back four next
:26:30. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:52.And he is determined to score at some stage. Gary Cahill again,
:26:52. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:04.throwing his body on the line. on. It was the Juan Mata goal that
:27:04. > :27:11.started this off, in the 17th minute. Great work from Oscar and
:27:11. > :27:21.Ashley Cole. Juan Mata did the rest. He has scored in four games in a
:27:21. > :27:52.
:27:52. > :28:02.marking the corner. Right back in towards Darvin Chavez. Let us save
:28:02. > :28:22.
:28:22. > :28:32.we can figure out where they're To see Tywydd. Moses. He got the
:28:32. > :28:35.
:28:35. > :28:40.return from Paulo Ferreira. Offside. I think he knew he was. Just as the
:28:40. > :28:48.ball was laid into him, oh crikey, I'm not good enough to get back.
:28:49. > :28:58.But he is some talent, isn't he? Looking as though he has had a
:28:59. > :29:27.
:29:27. > :29:37.coming back from being offside. The Corinthians players have seen what
:29:37. > :29:54.
:29:54. > :30:02.they're going to face on Sunday in You knew he was not passing. I'm
:30:02. > :30:05.sure francs of that and thought, no, he isn't getting it. There was a
:30:05. > :30:15.part of me Welling for that to crash off the underside of the bar.
:30:15. > :30:23.
:30:23. > :30:27.before. The 2008. De Nigris has scored. He has kept on going, he
:30:27. > :30:37.has had all the Monterrey chances, and finally he gets taken one, and
:30:37. > :30:37.
:30:37. > :30:47.taken it pretty well. By he has taken the Gaulle extremely well. --
:30:47. > :30:57.
:30:57. > :31:01.he has taken the Gaulle extremely have come out earlier.
:31:01. > :31:07.I don't think Rafa Benitez will be too upset, given the context of the
:31:07. > :31:17.game. Petr Cech might not be happy with himself or that he has
:31:17. > :31:21.
:31:21. > :31:29.conceded a goal at all. He has not got one more game close -- closer
:31:29. > :31:35.to the record for his club. That is it. Chelsea have worked hard enough.
:31:35. > :31:39.As a contest, it was over three minutes into the second half.
:31:39. > :31:46.Torres will claim the second, although there was a mighty
:31:46. > :31:51.deflection. The third was definitely an own goal from Chavez.
:31:51. > :31:55.Very pleased, I would think, for Rafa Benitez. The Japanese
:31:55. > :32:05.supporters have come out in force to see a Chelsea team the NEC from
:32:05. > :32:09.
:32:09. > :32:19.afar. -- they only see. They meet Corinthians in Sunday's fired off.
:32:19. > :32:20.
:32:20. > :32:27.A great result tonight. You must be pleased. Thank you very much. I am
:32:27. > :32:34.so pleased today. For us, it is an important tournament. We want to
:32:34. > :32:39.win this trophy, to be world champions on Sunday.
:32:39. > :32:44.You got the first goal tonight, and then there work two quick goals in
:32:44. > :32:51.the second half. You must be pleased to get on the scoresheet.
:32:51. > :32:58.I'm happy with the goal. I think we have started well. We were focused
:32:58. > :33:01.on scoring more goals. We did it with Fernando. 3-1 is a good result
:33:01. > :33:05.for us. Corinthians stand in the way on
:33:05. > :33:12.Sunday. Is there a Conference now that you can go on and win the game
:33:12. > :33:18.end use it as a springboard for the rest of the season? Of course. We
:33:18. > :33:25.know that Corinthians have a good game. They have a lot of supporters
:33:26. > :33:31.here. But we have, as well. It will be a football Party, and hopefully
:33:31. > :33:35.we will win. You will be able to watch the final
:33:35. > :33:40.on Sunday. How would you describe that performance? Cruise control,
:33:40. > :33:45.for most of the time. Then there was some overdrive, and then they
:33:45. > :33:54.took the breaks off at the end. They did what they had to do.
:33:54. > :33:58.Did they play within themselves, Robbie? Yeah. They were cruising.
:33:59. > :34:08.They made mistakes in the second half. But there were a lot of
:34:08. > :34:12.positives. Torres got another goal. He has been given the goal. He has
:34:12. > :34:20.got a bit to do, but yes, lots of positive.
:34:20. > :34:24.Movement was one of the positive. Also the understanding of each
:34:24. > :34:30.other's play. There were little dummies and back flicks between
:34:30. > :34:40.dummies and back flicks between Chelsea. This is lovely. It is a
:34:40. > :34:43.
:34:43. > :34:49.Brazilian style. What good vision again by Ashley Cole. When they
:34:49. > :34:56.start working together as a group, the three amigos, who we should not
:34:56. > :34:59.speak about because they are a speak about because they are a
:34:59. > :35:04.lexicon side! But going forward, they look very nice.
:35:04. > :35:08.Take us through the second goal, Robbie. It is being claimed by
:35:08. > :35:11.Fernando Torres. It comes straight from kick off.
:35:11. > :35:20.It comes straight from kick off. Under Benitez, Chelsea do seem to
:35:20. > :35:25.start the half quickly. The burst of pace from Hazard was good. He
:35:25. > :35:32.has got a bit of luck, but to be fair, he is doing better under
:35:32. > :35:40.Benitez. That his five goals in three games. A great finish.
:35:40. > :35:50.That is how he gets his space. You can see the gap around him are. The
:35:50. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :35:55.fewer touches he takes, the better player he is. The Spanish players
:35:55. > :36:00.like to get the ball and run somewhere. Fernando is not one of
:36:00. > :36:06.them. We will explore that a bit more.
:36:06. > :36:16.The third goal was set up by the Spanish striker. It was a fantastic
:36:16. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:22.goal with the outside of the foot. There you go. It is fantastic. The
:36:22. > :36:27.belief that you are playing with good players who will get the ball
:36:27. > :36:33.- that is what they did. Robbie, you spotted a bad touch?
:36:33. > :36:41.This ball, just in front of the goalkeeper and behind the back four,
:36:41. > :36:44.there's glimpses of brilliance again from Torres today. Isn't that
:36:44. > :36:51.classic of the striker? They know where they want the ball to be
:36:51. > :36:56.played. They play it because it is the ball they want. It is good to
:36:56. > :37:01.see Torres getting that. We spoke about cruise control.
:37:01. > :37:07.Maybe they took their eye off the ball slightly, which is how they
:37:07. > :37:13.let mata racecourse in the final few moments. -- let Monterrey it
:37:13. > :37:18.score. I think Cahill thinks about going
:37:18. > :37:23.out and then follows the man. He knows he has made a mistake. He is
:37:23. > :37:32.the deepest man. It is a problem of the whole defence. It is not a
:37:32. > :37:37.straight line, that back four. Exactly. Sometimes it is John Terry
:37:37. > :37:43.in there, but in the end, he just switched off. Other players did it
:37:43. > :37:53.during the game. You have got to scream at Cahill to
:37:53. > :37:55.
:37:55. > :38:02.get across. He has got to shut the ball down quicker.
:38:02. > :38:07.Let's highlight a few of the Chelsea players for you. We will
:38:07. > :38:14.start with David Luiz. I will be open about this and telly
:38:14. > :38:21.that he is one of my favourite players. -- and tell you. This is
:38:21. > :38:26.the position I think he should be playing. He goes forward from that
:38:26. > :38:31.area. He has got the vision to look forward. As soon as he gets the
:38:31. > :38:41.ball, he moves forward. That is what Benitez wants, that is what
:38:41. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :38:56.Torres once, and maybe it is what ball. He plays it forward. Once
:38:56. > :39:02.again there, there's no Chelsea player who... Ramires can do it,
:39:02. > :39:07.but he is not good at holding the ball. That is not a centre-back, to
:39:07. > :39:12.be fair. His weakness is that he loses concentration now and again.
:39:12. > :39:17.He will always have that. But you can do that if you are in the
:39:17. > :39:25.centre of midfield because you have got somebody behind you. Do it at
:39:25. > :39:31.centre-back, and you lose the ball. I think he adds something more than
:39:31. > :39:37.just a sitting defensive player. The big thing is when he is centre
:39:37. > :39:42.half, alongside John Terry, for instance, and makes those runs, he
:39:42. > :39:52.has John Terry at the back. In that position, he has to centre halves
:39:52. > :39:52.
:39:52. > :39:57.behind him and he can take a chance. -- two centre halves. For me, what
:39:57. > :40:04.today public evidence, he has been fantastic.
:40:04. > :40:09.Will he used the ball better for Chelsea, better than Mikel and
:40:09. > :40:16.Ramires? After Lampard, is he the best passer in the Chelsea
:40:16. > :40:22.midfield? He is a player who has got enough
:40:22. > :40:30.vision to pick out a pass. He is pushing it a bit. I think he could
:40:30. > :40:35.be one of the best in the world. The other advantage was in the
:40:35. > :40:41.first half, Gary Cahill went on they run forward and David Luiz
:40:41. > :40:45.just slotted back into defence to cover. He has got the defensive
:40:45. > :40:49.nous as well. nous as well.
:40:49. > :40:53.That is his best position. Under Benitez, he will play there. That
:40:53. > :40:56.is a massive plus for Chelsea. Let's look at Torres.
:40:57. > :41:01.Let's look at Torres. We have seen the goal he scored.
:41:01. > :41:11.Overall, how would you judge his performance, Rob?
:41:11. > :41:11.
:41:11. > :41:16.He has moved on from the weekend. That left touch, he did not mean
:41:16. > :41:26.that, that is the bad Torres. But the outside of the foot was the
:41:26. > :41:26.
:41:26. > :41:33.good Torres. Here, he has not got the pace to get away. His first
:41:33. > :41:39.touch here, yes, not the best ball, and the first touch is not great.
:41:39. > :41:44.Is he going to get behind? He does nothing. He has a big decision to
:41:44. > :41:51.make. He has to adapt. He has not got the pace he used to have. His
:41:51. > :41:57.first catch -- touch is not the best. What he can do is he can
:41:57. > :42:00.score goals in the penalty area. That is what he has got to do. He

:42:03. > :42:07.doing that. He is not the first footballer to

:42:14. > :42:19.as they get older. Every player has to do that. The
:42:19. > :42:22.ones who are lightning-fast, they don't have to change that much.
:42:22. > :42:27.Technically when they lose pace, they are average players. But he
:42:27. > :42:33.has got more than that - he is a finisher. As Robbie says, he has
:42:33. > :42:36.got to hold it off and get it between the two sticks. He should
:42:36. > :42:42.concentrate on that more than anything else.
:42:42. > :42:49.So the final is Chelsea against Corinthians. You can see that on
:42:49. > :42:54.the BBC. BBC Two, Sunday morning, coverage beginning at 10am.

:43:16. > :43:23.Very quickly, on the final, should Corinthians cause Chelsea any
:43:23. > :43:29.problems? No. I thought against Al Ahly, they could have gone out. I
