If I speak about the game, the reception, the connection with the crowd, and how the players reacted and how the players played, it was a great night. I enjoyed every second of it. Special, proud moment. Obviously the days before leading up to that were with mixed feelings. It was hard to see the manager go: the one who got me into the club, you know, the one who was fighting also for this club and cared a lot about the club. So, that was hard. But I have to say that, after that, the crowd lifted our spirits and it was a great night in the end.
It's going to be a big match, a tough one. Chelsea playing really well at the moment. Lots of attacking power players who can decide the game, scoring lots of goals, playing very well on the ball. So, we're going to have to be at our very best, you know, to get a result, to get a good game. It's obviously what we want. We want to try and win it. But we also respect the opponent, know their qualities, and [what] we have to do.
Always tough games, you know, going to Stamford Bridge but also playing at home. It was also in the times where Mourinho was the manager and it was very tough teams to play against. Very well organised, strong teams. Physical.
