00:18 OK, good afternoon.
00:20 We're doing today's first-time team usual football match,
00:22 so we'll start with the broadcast section,
00:24 then go on to the daily news later,
00:26 and finish with Sunday's news.
00:28 I will be doing an injury update on the squad after the press conference,
00:30 so please leave the injury questions out for now,
00:32 and we will come back to you with that after the press conference.
00:34 Again, today, TV, Sky Sports and James Green.
00:36 Maurizio, welcome.
00:38 How are you feeling ahead of Sunday?
00:40 How's preparation been?
00:42 How excited are you to...
00:44 I feel really good, I'm so excited.
00:46 We'll come back with a new league.
00:48 We'll be back in the Premier League.
00:50 We'll be back in the Premier League.
00:52 We'll be back in the Premier League.
00:54 We'll be back in the Premier League.
00:56 We'll be back in the Premier League.
00:58 Really busy, because...
01:00 you know, in some periods, we're so busy,
01:02 and the season, and everything.
01:04 But I am so happy, so excited.
01:06 I can't wait to be here on Sunday,
01:08 and start the promotion.
01:10 On Sunday, Chelsea will see a different captain
01:12 leading them out,
01:14 Rhys James.
01:16 What was it about Rhys that made you give him the captain's arm,
01:18 Alisson?
01:20 Well, I think he's not only...
01:22 you know, a player
01:24 who can be a leader,
01:26 because he's a leader.
01:28 His character, you know, his quality.
01:30 Yes, and then...
01:32 Yes, his presence,
01:34 and he's going to be a future also.
01:36 The club, he came to the academy,
01:38 and I think he's...
01:40 he's for me,
01:42 he's for us, you know,
01:44 we are the club.
01:46 He's a perfect, you know,
01:48 player.
01:50 Alisson,
01:52 you'll be a captain.
01:54 Sunday, you're going up
01:56 against Liverpool on the pitch,
01:58 but it seems like the club's going up against Liverpool
02:00 off the pitch, in the pursuit of
02:02 Moises Caicedo.
02:04 Is there an update that you could give us?
02:06 Is this a player that you're looking at
02:08 bringing in?
02:10 I think you know me
02:12 very well. I never talk about
02:14 players that don't belong to us.
02:16 I am so respectful.
02:18 But I can tell you
02:20 that we are working really hard to try
02:22 to add, you know, a player
02:24 to the squad, add quality,
02:26 and of course, we have
02:28 some update
02:30 made for you.
02:32 The academy will do,
02:34 but at the moment, I don't
02:36 want to talk about the player that doesn't belong to us.
02:38 So that's very important
02:40 to be very respectful of the clubs
02:42 and the players. But like
02:44 any club, we are working really hard
02:46 to try to, you know, to add quality.
02:48 And of course,
02:50 the team, the squad,
02:52 yes, we are working hard.
02:54 I am so happy that we are doing
02:56 the things with Paul Lawrence
02:58 and the owners.
03:00 The relationship is really, really good
03:02 and really close.
03:04 Yes, at the moment, so far, so good.
03:06 I am so happy to work with him as well.
03:08 So far so good.
03:09 I'm so happy to be working this way.
