Chilled camp has helped Blues earn stars and stripes

ENZO MARESCA has been trying to keep his players' minds off the Club World Cup.

And no wonder, because Chelsea are facing favourites Paris St-Germain in the £97m final at MetLife Stadium.

PSG are already French champions, European champions and are now bidding to add the world crown to their trophy collection under manager Luis Enrique this season.

But Blues defender Tosin Adarabioyo revealed that they have used the past month in the United States to do some serious bonding and insists they are in a better position to cause an upset.

The Chelsea squad have been playing table tennis and cards, were allowed to go down to the beach at their Miami training base and have been given valuable down time in Philadelphia and New York.
