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.
