Corinthians Tite Sees No Gain from Chelsea's Slump
Corinthians coach Tite doesn't think Chelsea's recent form struggles will boost his team's chances of winning the Club World Cup.
European champion Chelsea and Copa Libertadores winner Corinthians have a bye into the semifinals of the tournament that features the champion clubs from FIFA's six confederations, plus a team from the host nation.
Tite said: "In a tournament like this there are no favorites. Past results won't determine who wins the tournament."
Chelsea, which was knocked out of the Champions League on Wednesday, has also endured a run of seven games without a win in the Premier League, with three of those coming under Rafa Benitez, who replaced the fired Roberto Di Matteo last month.
