“It was hard, the pitch was really horrible to play on, not of a good enough quality for a match like this. We again showed a reaction, and character. I’m very proud and very happy, it’s huge. We created a special atmosphere together, we tried to create a special atmosphere. The club is very calm internally, very professional. Football is always the priority for Chelsea, we remain concentrated. The circumstances are a bit difficult but we remain concentrated. For Chelsea, the priority is football and what we need to do to win the next matches. Chelsea is a very calm club, with the mentality of always giving everything. The players showed they’re capable of overcoming difficult circumstances.”
