-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro
00:10 - A lot of good things have happened and I am very happy and proud with my success in the national team and Chelsea. I don't have time to celebrate because we have a lot of big games in the coming weeks, so I am just focused on the next game and I will have time to celebrate at the end of the season
2:00 - It's an important week but like I said, when you play for Chelsea you play for these kind of weeks, with finals and big games. We just focus on ourself and think about what we have done well this season. We stay focus, we don't need to do something new, just stay and rely on our work and our game.
3:00 - When it's the Champions League and this stage of the competition, there are no easy draws. Lille won their group and I think that reflects the performances they've produced in this competition against teams like Sevilla and Salzburg. They've been performing well so it's not an easy draw
4:20 - How big a factor has fatigue been?
I wasn't here but the manager gave some days off for the players to try to escape the pressure and to be a little bit fresh mentally. I think it did well when you look at the results
6:40 - My relationship with Kepa is good since I came here. We have a good relationship on and off the pitch. He did really well when I was at AFCON but it didn't surprise me because I see him every day
10:20 - Always keep working, have faith in your work, believe in yourself and when you have an opportunity to show what you can do, to take it and hold onto it. Always try to be better and better every day because to find a club is a good start, but to be better and better is the most difficult thing.
11:45 - Journey through the French divisions?
We have spoken about it a lot of times. It's good. Honestly, it's a dream to find another player at the same club who played in the same division. It's a beautiful thing to find here.
