Chelsea midfielder Jorginho admits manager Thomas Tuchel made clear the importance of the Club World Cup ahead of victory in Saturday's final against Palmeiras.
Palmeiras took the game to extra time before losing 2-1.
Jorginho said, "The only detail he (Tuchel) went through before we boarded the bus leaving, for the players to understand how important this competition was and how Palmeiras would give importance and would try to win.
"Anyway, we talked, our team didn't have that title either, it was very important for us, an important opportunity for all of us. This team needs to be respected too, they said some things, I have to thank them now for what they said, this served as motivation.
"I don't need to talk, you know. They lacked a little respect. This team deserves respect, they won the Champions League, the Supercup, now the World Cup. It is a team that is hungry to enter the history of the club, to leave a mark. We are very happy."
