00:18OK, who wants to get us underway? James?
00:22Chubby, nine goals scored this week, five conceded, three wins. Did you enjoy today?
00:29Quite a lot at the end. All the wins, I enjoyed them a lot. But it was a game that
00:36different moments, different feelings and at the end we are happy with the result.
00:44For sure, we value allude this win against a very good opponent that was tough in the last years. So
00:52we're happy with that.
00:53Bad for sure. There are things, moments that we have done really well, other moments that this is a process.
01:00We are in the process to keep learning from us, to keep improving and normally it's easier with a win.
01:09Can you tell us about Moises, was it a reoccurrence of the same injury or something new?
01:14Hopefully it was not new and it wasn't more than last time. So he was cautious to stop, to say
01:25that his feeling was not the best but we need to assess during the week.
01:30But it wasn't something new.
01:33Nizar?
01:35Pedro Anato, he sort of tapped the badge when he scored, I don't know if you saw it when you
01:39celebrated the goal.
01:40I wonder if you can sort of guarantee that he's going to stay at Chelsea after the transfer deadline?
01:45You know, in football I don't guarantee anything, not anyone. But I was very happy with Pedro. He did really
01:53well. He played with a lot of energy.
01:57He's going to be very important for the team, for the whole season because he has different special qualities.
02:06He's a threat in 1v1, he attacks very well the space, he's strong, he's competitive. Happy that he scored. He
02:12was really close to scoring another one. And the other thing, I'm very happy with Pedro.
02:19Matt?
02:19Sorry, Chelsea had 25% of possession today against Fulham, I think it was 38%. Is that reflective of your
02:29approach and how you want the team to be a counter-attacking transitional team? Or do you want that to
02:35come up?
02:35No, for me, you need to have context to every data, for sure. After 30 minutes we have scored the
02:453-0. Probably in that moment we have played too much with the result instead of keep playing.
02:51So the data are not important, it's how you play and what we can do better. But it's never that
02:57approach. I don't say today we need to have 60% or 20%.
03:02I never talk about those things. It's about how to prepare, how to be more competitive. But the good thing
03:08is that you need to adapt. Even during the game there are different moments.
03:13And some moments that we have done really, really well, other moments that we can do better. Jacob?
03:18When you say that you were playing the result, is that down to mentality? Do you see that as complacency
03:24when you were 3-0?
03:25No, I would say it's quite normal. It happens in many teams. Other teams that they have already worked for
03:35and they are together and they have more games together.
03:39Normally this idea or this theme, how to manage those moments is already more built. We are in this process.
03:46So I'm sure that this result in the future, we can manage it better.
03:55Because in Premier League, even in half-time we were 3-1 and I said, guys, two goals lead in
04:03Premier League. It's not done. We need to still focus on playing, scoring goals, defending well.
04:09And after, we could have scored the fifth one. And it was many things happening in the game.
04:19Jack?
04:19With Emiliano Martinez came straight in. Did you ever have any concerns about making that decision and throwing him straight
04:25in? And also, what do you expect to happen with Robert Sanchez now?
04:29With Emiliano Martinez came straight in. Did you ever have any concerns about making that decision and throwing him straight
04:30in? And also, what do you expect to happen with Robert Sanchez now?
04:31With Emiliano, a World Cup winner. 34 years old. Experience all around.
04:39I spoke with him yesterday. We talked about the game, about our team. And he felt ready. So I don't
04:50have to tell him many things to perform.
04:52And even today, even that for sure a keeper wants to have the clean sheet. But I am happy with
04:58his first impact. He's just been in the building for 48 hours.
05:05So now we will have the whole week to prepare for the next one. And day by day, we will
05:10feel his presence because he has this charisma, this aura to influence and to have a very positive connection with
05:16the rest of the team.
05:16And Enzo Fernandes wasn't in the squad again today. Has he been training with you? Do you think he's played
05:22his last game?
05:22Well, let's see. We want the best for the team. And that's why we take the decision against Luton today.
05:29And anything that happens, we need to be aware what's this last Tuesday evening, what's going to develop. We're not
05:36sure. We are preparing for all the scenarios. But I'm sure that whatever happens from Wednesday, we will have a
05:43good enough squad to compete in all the Premier League games.
05:46And we'll finish with Simon.
05:49How much is playing entertaining football important to you? But conversely, can you afford to play like that against Arsenal
05:57next week?
05:58I want to win. And whatever it takes to win. And each game can be different. So we need to
06:04prepare for the best. We need to train for the best and be prepared for whatever scenario we have. So
06:10it's not that this is going to be replicated against Arsenal.
06:14Today it was a big challenge and it was a big test. And next Sunday it's going to be a
06:18big one. But we can continue progressing on the good things and correcting the other ones that we can do
06:24better.
06:25Thanks guys. Thank you.
