Lucas Piazon claims that the majority of his fellow Chelsea players did not care about the Club World Cup.

Brazilian striker Lucas Piazon has launched a scathing verbal attack on some of his Chelsea teammates following their 1-0 defeat to Corinthians in the final of the Club World Cup.

A headed goal from Paolo Guerrero was enough to beat the Blues, who spurned numerous chances throughout the 90 minutes.

When asked about his view on his team's performances, Piazon claimed that only his fellow countrymen in the Chelsea squad truly cared about the outcome.

"We played without any determination, without a love for the shirt. Nobody wanted to play football. At least Oscar did try," Piazon told Terra. "I won't name names, but the team played with no will. You can't play a final like this without the will to play. That's unacceptable.

"We lacked a lot of things, especially the will to be a champion. I think Ramires, David Luiz, just the Brazilians were the only ones that gave their everything, showed character and that is why they are sad.

"I haven't spoken to anybody, but I've noticed David Luiz was upset. It's not a coincidence, he was one of the few that cared about the match, that gave his all."

The 18-year-old has made just two senior appearances for the Londoners.
