-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 Intro
00:20 It felt very special [to win it], we enjoyed it that night in Porto. Now is the time to not get ahead of us, we start at zero. We have to fight hard to be where we want to be. It will be a difficult game tomorrow, there is no room for mistakes
1:40 We feel stronger with Lukaku
Every year we try to improve. That is natural. The players are here from last season, the club always tries to improve the team every year and of course, Romelu is a big addition. His ambition to help the team, of course we feel stronger. That gives us confience coming back from a Champions League win
2:45 on Saul, He is a great player, I have known him from the antional team. He has experience at the highest level. He had a stressful last hours of the transfer window, arrived in a new country, first game against an aggressive opposition. It is normal, sometimes you need to adapt. His repsonse has bene spot on.
4:15 Hoping for a better defence of the title than in 2013?
I hope so! It was a very bad experience, painful because I came from Marseille and when I arrived to Chelsesa just after the won, it was a tough moment to be out at the group stage. I want to help make sure that doesn't happen again
5:45 I was lucky to share a lot of moments with good squads and players. Everybody is different, we have different qualities. Football is evolving. I look back at my first season, I see how football has changed, it is completely different. This squad has great potential, we have healthy competition, a group of lads who train hard and go forward as we have an exciting season ahead of us
7:20 on Lukaku's impact: "We saw how efficient he was for us [against Villa]. It's the impact that he has had for us on the pitch but then also off it. It has been massive for us.
8:30 I am a person who doesn't like to live in the past. I want to improve myself every day in training. You have to show it every day. I have had confidence from the club since the first day. I want to improve every day. I have played many positions, Thomas will change the system, he is a manager that wants full focus from everybody
10:50 I never choose what could be a success. Of course it means winning trophies, of course the Champions League is the biggest. I alwayd felt since I arrived here that Chelsea fights for every trophy. We will go for every single competition, go as far as possible. Every year is more difficult, we are the champions of Europe and everyone wants to beat us. It is going to be a tough one to do
12:15 Long-term future?
Not at all, I don't have any concerns. I feel fully trusted by the club. Yes my contract ends in June but I am just focused on what is next, playing the best I can and everything else will take care of itself
13:15 We played them, dominated them and played well against Atletico Madrid. Then we played Porto which we found very hard to get through. Then Real Madrid, they are the Kings of Europe for a long time. I was on the pitch, we were 1-0 up [in t
