00:00 I wasn't here last season and only I can talk from the day one that we arrived we have we
00:19 had a conversation.
00:20 A conversation is his commitment in the way that he want to you know provide or contribute
00:26 in the team working really hard with the work ethic and then with the quality.
00:31 I think I repeat again I think he deserves the full credit about his performance.
00:39 We are very pleased and very happy I think he has the quality and he can you know provide
00:44 the team goals and assists and then when we don't have the ball working really hard to
00:50 try to recover the ball as soon as possible and I think so pleased for him because he
00:56 told me that was a difficult season for him last season and very pleased with the player
01:02 he's happy and with the offensive player can score and assist and for us it's the best
01:07 feeling.
01:08 I know you can't comment on it before but for a number of years now there's been a lack
01:09 of intensity in Chelsea's playing.
01:10 How have you instilled the intensity that we've seen over the three games?
01:23 I think it's in the way that we love to work and intensity in Premier League if it's not
01:32 there it's difficult to win games.
01:34 Today the key was to match the desire and the energy of Luton and I think that was one
01:39 of the key that after with the quality to score goals and create chances and dominate
01:44 the game.
01:46 I don't know the past I cannot talk about the past we only we can talk about the present
01:51 and the future in the way that we want to you know this project and the challenge that
01:59 is to create a team with full energy but also with quality to have the capacity to be competitive
02:05 and challenge the big also the big team like Liverpool, Manchester City and company.
02:12 I think it's in the way that we love to work and yes very pleased because the performance
02:18 was very solid but from that is only the first step but we need to work really hard to still
02:25 improve because I think we are so far in the way that we want to arrive or to play or to
02:33 see the players on the pitch I think we are far away but I think we are in a very good
02:39 way.
02:40 Can I just follow up Charlie because you keep getting asked about Lukaku I'm not going to
02:47 ask about Lukaku I just want to ask about two players who have disappeared Marlensar
02:53 who was on loan last season.
02:56 Who?
02:57 Marlensar and what's happened to Jamie Cummings who played the first game against Redskins?
03:04 Oh my goodness.
03:07 Marlensar and then Jamie.
03:11 I don't know what I can tell you.
03:15 I don't know because you surprised me it's like you punch and I am like this because
03:20 we were talking about Luton.
03:24 And you are from?
03:27 From Chelsea?
03:28 Not anymore.
03:29 Ok.
03:30 Are you working for?
03:31 SiriusXM.
03:32 Ok.
03:33 After I will explain.
03:37 But it's difficult you know I wasn't prepared for this answer.
03:44 Very soon you are prepared for this answer back to Sir.
03:50 Do you think the position in which he is playing right now starting from the right is the required
03:55 position for him?
03:57 Oh my goodness maybe I need to talk.
04:03 Hope Raheem will be happy.
04:05 But I think I am going to explain.
04:08 Our first conversation with all the players in our conversation with Raheem.
04:13 I love to ask in the position that they love to play the player.
04:18 How they feel, how they see themselves.
04:21 It's like to put a player in front of the mirror.
04:26 Yes I think it's not on the end the position it's the animation.
04:31 The way that the team is going to link in between them.
04:34 And I think it's to find you know the best position when the dynamic of the game when
04:42 we are playing in an offensive situation to try to provide the best platform and position
04:49 place and link with the player that can you know can after appear the best quality.
04:58 That is a process like that is why I still I think in your question that is why I am
05:06 losing my focus.
05:09 That is why it's really important the process and time to work because to create all these
05:17 links and in the way that we wanted to play animation and know each other we need time.
05:24 All the teams that when you want to build a team in the process that we are is a matter
05:30 of time.
05:31 We'll go to Liam.
05:32 Hi Mauricio.
05:33 Nicholas Jackson scored his first goal tonight.
05:36 We've seen lots of good things from him in the previous games.
05:41 What does he give to the team in the way he moves with that ball?
05:48 We were talking with Jesus.
05:49 We were talking after with the sporting director today and the owner before.
05:53 I think we are not asking for him to run a lot and press and recover the balls because
06:00 it's his quality.
06:01 We saw when we signed him.
06:04 And that is fantastic because his work ethic is amazing.
06:09 And then have the quality because he's fast, go forward and running behind the line defensive
06:15 and then the quality into the feet.
06:18 Yes, it's only a matter of time that he's going to score goals also.
06:22 He's amazing.
06:23 It's difficult to find a player like him in the market.
06:27 It's difficult to see in other teams.
06:30 For me he's going to be one of the greatest strikers.
06:32 He has the potential to be.
06:34 Only need time.
06:35 And not be rushed with him and give the space, give time to grow.
06:40 And I think his qualities are fantastic.
06:43 You've got three goals today.
06:45 It's been the first time in a while since Chelsea got three goals.
06:50 Do you think you maybe don't need a forward now that you've got three goals in this game?
06:56 No, I know.
06:57 Look, like happened last week when we lost again to West Ham.
07:01 It's not going to change in the way that we are seeing the sims.
07:06 We work and if the result today was positive still, like we were talking, we need a keeper.
07:15 And then one offensive player more.
07:19 But the right profile at the moment we are working and trying to find this profile.
07:23 But I think we need it because we cannot change if we lose or we win.
07:29 It's what we need to provide the team the good balance in different areas.
07:36 And I think still we need one offensive player more.
07:39 We'll see if it's possible to achieve what we want.
07:43 And if not, we are not going to bring players and to store players if it's not the right profile.
07:49 Only to say yes, we have another offensive player.
07:53 But we need to find the right profile.
07:55 I saw you, the goalkeeper went to the dressing room.
07:58 Was there?
07:59 Yeah, he was there. Did you see him?
08:01 Good.
08:02 The club announced some sim?
08:04 No.
08:05 If you saw, I don't know.
08:08 Maybe still, I don't know.
08:10 You, Jesus, you are...
08:13 It's a strange behaviour, Jesus.
08:16 Yesterday was with the striker.
08:21 And after people criticised me.
08:24 Do you want a number 9 striker or a different profile?
08:30 Different profile.
08:32 We can play a striker or maybe on the side or in behind.
08:37 Yes, we'll see.
08:38 We'll see because we are seeing things.
08:42 And for sure in the next few days we will take some decisions.
08:48 We'll end it there. Cameras off please. Thank you.
08:51 Thank you.
08:52 Thank you.
08:54 All good?
08:55 Yeah.
08:56 You?
08:57 Both better.
08:58 Good.
08:59 Good seeing you.
09:01 What the...
09:02 Nice boy.
09:06 Nice boy.
09:07 Nice.
09:09 Thank you.
