RLC on #Chelsea defender, who would make the best striker: "I think Emerson. He’s very agile and has a lot of technical quality, so I think he would be good up front because he would be able to run in behind" #CFC
RLC on who lifts morale in dressing room: "Cesar Azpilicueta always has something positive to say in the dressing room, whether we’ve won or lost. After a defeat he will tell us to keep our chins up and move on to the next game, so that’s always good."
Willy Caballero on his disastrous world cup campaign: “I assume all the responsibility. It happened at the worst moment of the match and gave the start of a disaster. I didn’t have the opportunity to play another match and I respect the decision of Sampaoli" #CFC
Caballero: “It was very hard, more for my family, very disrespectful. As a team we didn’t have identity, we did not manage to scare away our opponents.”
Luiz "Chelsea's a big club with the opportunity to fight every year for titles and there is also pressure to get results quickly. But it's a good pressure, and I think if you don't feel this pressure you stop being the type of player to play for Chelsea.”
Luiz "Every week he tries to make the best plan possible for the exact game and this is great because he is working in the best way for the team, for the collective."
Luiz “He wants to play with the ball, he wants to play with intensity, to work on the details and to give us all the information he can about the next game and the opponent.”
Luiz "I think that is one of the most important things in life; when you love to do something, when you're happy.
"So, I believe in this philosophy, and then after that he is a great coach.”
David Luiz on Sarri "First of all he's a great person, great as a human. I think his philosophy to live life is already great because he wants to enjoy every day, he wants to be happy and he wanted to take this opportunity to start one more chapter in his life.” #CFC The Blues on Twitter
Tribal football | #Chelsea have entered a co-operation with FC Luzern in Switzerland with goalkeeper coach Lollichon is working with FCL technical chief Christian Schmidt to help the club's goalkeepers. Chelsea are also helping FCL develop a data performance system. #CFC
Griezmann on Kante: "He is a very shy guy, very popular with the public and the group. We try to push him forward, even if he does not like that too much" #CFC The Blues on Twitter
Ampadu, playing in the Jorginho role, has a good mixture of his and Kante’s abilities. He dictates play, organises, comfortable on ball, vision, good tackler, intercepts well & energetic.
Long way to go to reach the aforementioned player levels, but what a huge talent.
Another well-rounded player whose abilities make him dangerous in any attacking role, Hazard is a winger by name—but he’s likely to wreak havoc on opponents wherever he happens to pop up on the pitch. The Belgian always manages to find space that didn’t exist before, using his speedy 91 Pace and classy 94 Dribbling ratings to open up any game for himself and his teammates.
