Reece James expects a match "on equal terms"
"Right now the atmosphere is fantastic, it's the best. The reason is that they appreciate what they have achieved during this competition and the season. When you start with 32 teams and you get to the end, they are proud and happy. We are ready to play this final ," added the Italian, joined by captain Reece James . "We are preparing as if we were playing any other match. It's a final, but we prepare for every match as if we want to win . "
"It's a unique final and a unique match. I've been to many finals where we were favorites and didn't come out on top. I don't care who the favorites are. Statistics, data and favorites mean nothing to me or the team. These are two great, young teams competing on the biggest stage. I believe we'll fight on equal terms ," added the Chelsea right-back, determined to give the Blues a World Cup title.
