boost was it when you saw this man walk into the training ground yesterday?

he came to, to help us. You could, could see today.

Uh, yeah, he's a special player, a special keeper, and I think he

Was this a challenge you were really looking forward to

and wanted to take on?

Joao, let's turn to the game. At one point you were 3-0 up.

It finishes 4-3. At 3-0, do you have to put the game

to bed there and then? Did you make it hard for yourselves?

Yeah, I think the game today was special game, uh, for

me. Uh, I think I help my teammates.

I fight until the end and, yeah, get the three points is very,

very important win

for us.

How good was some of Chelsea's play in that opening 30 minutes, particularly

between you front three, of which there's so much talk about?

I think, uh,

in the front three, we are,

we know each other. We try to, to help.

there or Morgan. So I think you need to enjoy and,
