The goal set Chelsea on their way to a 2-0 victory in their tournament opener against LAFC in Atlanta.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI feel very good. I have had some adaptations in the team. I\u2019ve played in a lot of positions. It\u2019s my first year with the club, so there is a lot of adaptation there as well. I\u2019m really happy with the way I\u2019m performing at the moment. I hope to continue in this way,\" Neto, who has completed his move to Chelsea from Wolves last year, told FIFA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On his goal, Neto added, \u201cI have to be thankful to Nico because of the pass. He was joking with me a little bit because I didn\u2019t thank him (during my celebration), so I will say thank you very much now, Nico!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Neto travelled to the USA for Club World Cup after an impressive end to the 2024\/25 season. His performances helped Chelsea secure a fourth-place Premier League finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe have to be confident. We finished the season really well. With the players we have and the squad we have, we have to be confident in ourselves and take that through all the games we play,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca, meanwhile, believes Neto can go to another level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe have to be confident. We finished the season really well. With the players we have and the squad we have, we have to be confident in ourselves and take that through all the games we play,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
