Shearer said, "It would take a very brave person to say that Chelsea won't be involved in the title race next year. They've achieved a lot this season, and they've just won the Club World Cup. They've also signed some great players, and they'll likely sign more." He thinks Chelsea will definitely be in the title race.

Shearer also praised Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca. He said Maresca made some smart changes to the team's strategy, which helped them win the Club World Cup. Shearer thinks Maresca deserves a lot of credit for his work this season.

Shearer noted that Maresca's approach was unexpected, but it worked well for the team. He said, "Maresca's made some little tweaks to the team's style, and it paid off. They pressed high and got the results they wanted. He's done a fantastic job, and it's not just about this competition – he's done a great job all season."

Shearer acknowledged that Chelsea's history is unpredictable, but Maresca has done a great job to change that. He said, "You never know what to expect at Chelsea, but Maresca has done a magnificent job. He's really shown what he's capable of."
