00:00 The teams you're competing against in the Premier League will be starting their European campaigns next week.
00:04 How does it feel not to be involved and how are you going to use that time that you have, which they might not have?
00:11 With the circumstances I think it's better for us because we have nearly 11, 12 players.
00:17 I think it's very short squad at the moment because there are not too many available.
00:24 I think we're going to play a game with 14, 15 players.
00:32 I think it's important that now we can recover players and be more competitive.
00:38 But of course, the objective in Chelsea is always to be involved in the European competition.
00:44 But that is not in my hands now to change that reality.
00:50 That is the reality and now in our hands is only to work and to try to be next season.
00:56 For sure we are going to be involved in the European competition next season.
01:00 We need time, we need to keep going, be strong in the way that we believe and we think.
01:08 No doubt that with the quality that we have, we will all be settled on the club.
01:14 And the team for sure is starting to get the result that they set.
