00:00okay so we'll follow the same format as before if anyone in the room would like
00:19to ask Andre a question please raise your hand and then likewise for the
00:23remote offering please use the raise hand function and we'll get around as
00:26many as possible who wants to get us started in in the room yeah so so I'm
00:48very happy to be here in Chelsea in the Premier League so you know that big
00:54competition for me is the most hard in the world so hard to play the the
00:59Premier League and I'm so happy to come back here and with my adaptation in the
01:04Premier League
01:19yeah I think I think for sure right so I was there in Forest when I was 18 I think or
01:2819 years old so too young and now I feel that I'm more ready to to play that
01:35Premier League okay anybody else in the room
01:38so I think it's so important to speak a lot of language because
02:03the it's good for my communication in the dressing room with my teammates so yeah
02:11I speak French I speak English I speak Portuguese of course and Spanish too so
02:16it's important to to help with shoulder with like Steven sometimes I have to
02:24translate something for him to him and I think it's so important for for me and for
02:30the other others players too
02:32I mean you you're only 21 yourself but you seem to have put an arm around Esteval
02:37do you kind of feel like protection yeah for sure because he I arrived here young like
02:45Steven I know how it's difficult to to to be here in the Premier if he's 18 years old
02:52and I try help him maximum I can go to Gary
02:59I was wondering whether you thought you could be an example to other youngsters trying to get into the Chelsea first team of having good load spells and not so good load spells but keeping
03:07good load spells but keeping to improve and making the best of the chances you're eventually
03:12given and then coming back and carrying on the progress. Did you ever get asked by any of the
03:17other youngsters about how it's done and how you managed to achieve what you've achieved?
03:23So I think this is a process. So personally I think this is my process. So Steven has a
03:32other process. So he comes to Brazil, he adapts perfect and now he plays. So for me a little
03:39bit different. I was in Forest and then Strasbourg and now I'm here. So I think it's a process.
03:48Do you advise anyone maybe at the academy or something like that or youngsters coming into
03:55the club never to give up to keep fighting? Yeah, for sure. I think you have to keep fighting
04:01because it's our dream and a dream of our family too and you have to keep fighting always.
04:11Thank you. Go to Jack.
04:12You spoke about sort of looking after the rest of ours. You and Jack Pedro I think
04:17look after him a fair bit. What does that look like? Is it just at the training ground or is it
04:22away from the training ground seeing each other you know at home or out and about?
04:26So we're always together around in the training ground and outside too. So I think our relationship
04:37is perfect because we always go to the national team together. So we did a lot of things together.
04:44So I think it's important to go on the pitch with this relationship.
04:51There's been a lot of talk about Moises Caicedo's level after his performance
04:56at the weekend. Robert Santos says he's the best in his position in the world.
05:02I just wondered for you as a midfielder, someone that I suppose would have grown up watching
05:06players like Casemiro played alongside him as well. What's it like to play with Moises?
05:11So I'm so happy to play with Moises. For me Moises is incredible. So since when I arrived here,
05:22he always told me to keep training hard, keep improving that. And I did. And now I'm so happy to
05:31see Moises improve, improve, improve. So he's amazing. And I'm so happy to train with him and play with him too.
05:40Okay, last couple in the room. We'll go to Sam and finish with Martin.
05:43Hi Andre. You enjoyed a really productive lifestyle at Strasbourg. Just talk to me about the lessons
05:48you learned and the influence of Liam Rossini. So Liam, so I love my ex-coach. So he's amazing.
05:58It's hard to say about Liam because it seems when I joined Strasbourg. So he helped me a lot.
06:06And I improved a lot with him. So in the last week, I sent a message to him because I always watch the
06:16game of Strasbourg. And I say to my new baby is coming. He said to me, congratulations. And
06:25he, I'm so happy to, to, for you. So I think your, our relationship is perfect.
06:35I'm going to Martin.
06:36Just a quick one, Andre. You've done a lot of traveling going back to Brazil and Europe and
06:42everything. Just from a player's point of view, how do you look at a trip like this? You're still
06:47here. The game's only 29 hours away and then kind of back at six o'clock in the morning on Thursday
06:53Thursday. What are the stresses in Australia when you're young? Do you just do it?
07:00Yeah. So it's, of course, it's hard to, when I, when, when we have a national team to come back to
07:06Brazil and some players to Argentina, some place to Colombia, to Ecuador. And, but I think it's our
07:14dream representation, our country. So every day we work hard here in Chelsea to, to be there in the
07:21national team and to have to, to enjoy in these moments.
07:27Okay. We'll now go to the people online and we'll start with Nizar Kinsella.
07:33Hi, Andre. I wanted to ask you more about Strasbourg. Chelsea and Strasbourg have a connection and you
07:40were the first player to kind of do that, do that step. Do you think this is a great step for young
07:46players, you know, in the future that there'll be many more, uh, great young players who signed
07:51for Chelsea, maybe go to Strasbourg and then they, they can maybe be good enough to play for Chelsea
07:56after? Yeah, of course. So I'm so happy to, to be the first one, but in this season we have a lot of
08:07players quality in Strasbourg. So like Mamadou Saar, so Mike Penders and Emiga now, uh, I think it's,
08:19it's so important for us, this, this both club, because when I was there in Strasbourg,
08:27the people from Chelsea always send messages, how are you? So you are so good here, here. So I think it's,
08:35it's important this relationship with Chelsea in Strasbourg and to be confident when I, when we arrive here.
08:46Okay. Anyone else online that would like to ask a question?
08:52Yeah, go on. There's one more.
08:57Yeah, Andre, I also wanted to ask you, how do you see yourself as a midfielder? Do you see yourself more
09:03like Moises Caicedo type or more like an Enzo Fernandes type? Because we see you play in both
09:09positions, uh, very well. So which, which kind of fielder are you?
09:14This is a hard question because he, when I was young, I always played like, uh, six,
09:21six, but he, he and the premium, uh, it's a little bit different, but I can play in both positions,
09:31six or eight. Uh, I think the most important is, uh, help Chelsea and help the coach that in my teammates
09:39too. So if the coach puts me to play like a six, I will do my better. And if he, he wants that,
09:47I play like a eight, I will do my better too. Okay. We'll end it there. Thank you everybody.
09:54Thank you. Thank you.
