00:00Talk to us about one of your deadline day deals in terms of Mudrick.
00:07You described him in the past as being like a son to you and he said you are his footballing
00:12father.
00:13You also said that he had the ability to one day win the Ballon d'Or.
00:19How good do you think he still is?
00:21How important is that relationship that you've got to get him to where he wants to go?
00:25And just finally, can you give us a timeline of when he might be fully up to speed and available
00:31to actually play, given that he hasn't played for almost two years?
00:40I don't know how many times he needs to be available to start the game.
00:48One part of the game, I think, is ready right now to play 20, 15, 30 minutes.
00:59And the first question about Mudrick, we spent a very particular season together in Shakhtar.
01:09When the war started, we were together and when I spoke about the Ballon d'Or, I was very clear.
01:20Maybe my English is not so good, but I was very clear because I was speaking about the potential of
01:30the player.
01:30The potential of the player can be the same and can respect the prediction or not.
01:42Until now, he has had many problems.
01:49The last problem, the suspension of what was the problem, but by the end, the potential was clear, is clear.
02:01And now, his challenge is to respect all his qualities, because he is a great player.
02:12He has to feel this season, to live this season in a right way.
02:20Not too many pressure, but anyway, is the right moment for him to show all people things.
02:30Because if Chelsea paid 100 million four years ago, I think they brought a lot of big, big players.
02:41And to spend 100 million, I think they thought very well about the qualities of Mudrick.
02:50To check what you said at the beginning, you reckon you could get 15, 20 minutes out of him now,
02:55so there's a chance that he could be in the squad.
02:57Yes, I think he's ready to play part of the game.
