Serious question, would you be happier by being 6 years unbeaten to your London rivals or by winning all the major club trophies in Europe and the world?
Interviewer: Will you tell us, how ready are you this season?
Cole Palmer: You don't watch the game. Nah, I'm only joking. Nah, ready, you know. As you said, difficult season with injuries and whatnot, but through the summer and since I've been back, I've worked extra hard.
Interviewer: It's not just the physical side. I suppose you've had a lot of mental rest too. Has that made you perhaps the most hungry you've ever been out there now?
Cole Palmer: Yeah, normally I'm not really an emotional person and stuff like that. People who know me know I'm not really too bothered about many things in life, but yeah, I was over the summer, I rested, I was recharged, I was riling him telling him come Chelsea. But yeah, now I'm ready and I'm hungry.
Interviewer: How much of the influence of Alonso do you think we've seen so far tonight in that performance?
Morgan Rogers: I think bits of it, of course, but there's still a long way to go. There's still things that we need to learn and get better and improve at, but it's a start. It's a positive start. We're trying to implement his ideas and the way he wants to play.
🚨 JUST IN: Gerard Piqué says Chelsea coming back from 2–0 down with 10 men to eliminate Barcelona in the 2012 UCL semifinal is one of the TOP two GREATEST COMEBACKS he has ever witnessed, admitting he has “never seen mentality like that before.”
That Chelsea comeback against us in 2012 is honestly one of the two greatest comebacks I’ve ever witnessed in football. And I say that as someone who was on the pitch suffering through it."
"We were 2–0 up at Camp Nou, Chelsea were down to ten men after the red card, and the whole stadium already felt sure Barcelona were going through. Normally in football, that situation is over."
"But mentally, they were unbelievable. I remember looking across and seeing players throwing themselves into tackles, blocking shots with everything, fighting for every second like their lives depended on it."
"What shocked me most was that they never panicked. Most teams in that atmosphere against Barcelona would completely collapse. Chelsea somehow became calmer after going down to ten men."
"The goal before halftime changed everything psychologically. Suddenly, even with all the possession we had, you could feel Chelsea growing stronger mentally while frustration started entering our team."
"And then Torres scoring at the end… honestly, I’ve never heard the Camp Nou go that silent. It felt impossible that we were out after everything that happened in the game."
"People always talk about tactics in football, but that night was about mentality. Pure mentality. I still haven’t seen many teams react to adversity the way Chelsea did in that semifinal."
"You can dislike their style, you can argue about luck, but mentally that Chelsea team was one of the strongest teams I’ve ever faced."
Step into FEBRUARY with fresh light, fresh strength, and fresh momentum. This is your season to move forward, rise higher, and advance on every side.
