"I was a Manchester United fan and I am now massively a Chelsea fan,"
"I remember Sir Alex Ferguson was brave enough to put six or seven players aged between 19 and 21 into a title-winning team because he believed in them. They grew and won trophy after trophy. It was an amazing period in that club's history. Without that bravery, it doesn't happen. There is potential for that here."
"Speak about Moises Caicedo or Enzo Fernandez or Cole Palmer or Reece James - world-class players and still very, very young. That is the ultimate ambition for this club - to create that again."
Liam Rosenior replaced Enzo Maresca as Chelsea head coach after Maresca left on New Year's Day. Maresca had complained about pressure to select certain players, while senior figures maintain he was only asked to limit minutes for injured players. Chelsea's starting XIs have averaged 24 years and 198 days this season, making them the Premier League's youngest squad. Rosenior aims to emulate Sir Alex Ferguson's bravery in promoting young players to form a sustained, trophy-winning core. Rosenior highlighted Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer and Reece James as world-class and still very young. Rosenior arrives from Strasbourg, a club in the same multi-club ownership group that fielded Europe's youngest squad last season.
