CHELSEA’S tactics for Club World Cup bid have been revealed — after they were found in a pile of rubbish...





























And no wonder the Blues failed to spot match-winner Paolo Guerrero after Rafa Benitez got his name wrong.
The top-secret crib sheets were discovered in Chelsea's dressing room in Yokohama by a reporter from Brazilian newspaper O Globo.
They warned the Blues to be alert to counter-attacks against Corinthians and instructed players to charge up the field after clearing defensive corners.
Branislav Ivanovic was ordered to pick up the Brazilians’ No9 — who was wrongly identified as “Guerro”.
Instead, GUERRERO nodded home a second-half header to trash Benitez’s dream of landing a first trophy as Chelsea boss.

Chelsea captain John Terry's knee injury will keep him out of the Club World Cup in Japan...


The Champions League winners will miss 11 days of domestic action to represent Europe in the competition next week.
Terry was expected to be out for three weeks after the injury in mid November.
But Blues manager Rafael Bentiez said: "He wanted to go and to help, but it's better he stays here. The inflammation during the flight will not be the best thing for him so he will not travel."
Defender Terry, 31, damaged knee ligaments in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Benitez's side play Sunderland on Saturday before travelling to Japan for the competition featuring champions from all six Fifa confederations.
Chelsea enter in the semi-finals where they will face the Mexican side Monterrey or Korean team Ulsan Hyundai on 13 December.
