00:01Probably the most complicated thing this season about the conference

00:06has been to convince the player that for us was the best competition in the world.

00:11And the reason why was because it's the competition that we were in.

00:15So every game has been difficult, especially because I needed to convince the player

00:22that we were not able to drop nothing because you can lose points against any team.

00:29And we need to respect any team in Europe and any team that we face.

00:34And then I'm not focused on winning this competition or with this trophy

00:42because of my name. For sure I'm happy if we win, but I'm especially happy for the club, for the fans.

00:51And as you said, also because Chelsea can become the first club in Europe to win all the European competition.
