Chelsea interim coach Rafael Benitez has stated that he feels no pressure to win the Club World Cup in Japan despite watching his team crash out of the Champions League last week.
Benitez, who reached the Club World Cup final in 2005 and won it with Inter Milan in 2010, brushed off talk that another slip-up could cost him dear.
Chelsea face Mexico's Monterrey in Yokohama on Thursday in their semi-final and Benitez said: "With the economic crisis around the world everybody is under pressure. I don't have a problem with pressure. The future is the next game and the one after that."
