He is helping the team, he is also helping the team in developing and improve what we want and where we want to reach, Knowing that everything takes time, but I'm very happy with its quality, with his attitude and the impact he is having on the rest of the team. We have nothing to discuss about this. as for that We are... Playing, we focus on our own things, on our own Chelsea matters. How to do better, how to help him How can he become increasingly influential in the game? And these are our topics for discussion. It's very good that Emi made a great effort to come back. before aiming to be part of the team, We'll see tomorrow. And on Saturday we will make the final decision. A mesa doesn't mean much, Why can it change so much in a week, in two games, You can be fifth, you can be... We are taking a step forward, with the ball, against the ball being more solid, And we have a difficult opposition, A difficult visit. Sunderland, We know what it takes to win, We know how the demand will be. That's a matter of the table. I think they deserve more points. than they received. e It's going to be a tough game away.
