00:00Liam, you can't stop smiling. Just how significant a piece of business is this to the club?
00:04Yeah, I can't stop smiling because we secured the best player in world football in his position.
00:11And he had many, many opportunities to leave this magnificent club.
00:15And the good thing is not just the size and the stature of the club.
00:19He's come through from a very, very young age based with belief and confidence in what we're doing here, where
00:24we want to go.
00:25We've had many conversations about it. For him to sign a deal and put his faith in us is a
00:31massive step.
00:32Why do you feel that Rhys is the best player in the world in that position?
00:37Do I have to explain that when you see him play?
00:40Huh? I don't want to embarrass him. He's top.
00:42No, he's top. When you meet Rhys, you see him from afar and you admire him.
00:48He can play many different positions technically. He can score goals.
00:51He's defence. It's athleticism, tactical understanding.
00:55The thing that impresses me most about him is his humility in him as a person.
00:58And you realise why he's having and will have the career that he will go on to have as the
01:04captain of Chelsea.
01:04For as long as I'm here, he'll be my leader.
01:08So for me, it's been a really, really good two and a half months.
01:11With him, I now understand a lot more why he is the player he is.
01:15And he's going to go on to have, hopefully, a really successful career here at this club.
