00:02 I think the same love is in both ways.
00:09 I feel that they love me,
00:11 and I think they need to feel that I love them too.

00:26 - It's special because I think come back after four years,
00:34 you know, in a place that we have amazing memories,
00:38 and we create amazing memories together,
00:41 and I think it's special.
00:42 I cannot lie.
00:43 - He's had an undeniable impact on this football club.
00:48 His time here, I mean, you know,
00:50 he almost took the club to the ultimate summit
00:54 of the Champions League, or close to the league.
00:57 So his work is unquestioned.
00:58 - It's going to be a happy day,
01:00 but you know, that is life.
01:05 That is life, and we need to move on.
01:07 And you know, we are professional, our football,
01:11 but at the same time, we are human.
01:13 - Everyone I speak to around here,
01:14 there's still people who work with him,
01:15 can't speak highly enough of him as a person, as a manager.

01:22 - UTA has his way of, his team's playing, I have my ways.
01:43 We both, I guess, from that point of view,
01:45 yeah, we wanted our teams to be sort of progressive
01:48 and attacking in their approach.
01:50 There's a lot more nuance than just saying, you know,
01:52 because two managers or two football clubs
01:56 are kind of showing some of the characteristics
01:58 that that means they're alike.

02:03 Look at Maurizio's track record,
02:13 and I've got no doubt that he'll get Chelsea
02:16 on the right path.
02:16 I've got no doubt about that,
02:17 but you know, how he goes about that,
02:21 he knows better than anyone else.
02:23 - No doubt that in the future,
02:25 Chelsea will be in the same position that they seem to be
02:29 because of the history.
02:30 - I doubt there'd be anything but respect, you know,
02:35 for Maurizio from anyone at this football club,
02:37 supporters or people associated with it.
02:40 That doesn't mean he's gonna get a guard of honour
02:42 on Monday night, 'cause we wanna win.
02:43 - I'm going to respect the people,
02:46 how they're going to express,
02:48 but it's not going to change my emotion, my view,
02:50 my feelings about a club that I think
02:54 we spent an unbelievable journey.
