[0:00] possible uh Bobby would you like to get us started yes hello Javi how are you good thank you and you [0:11] yeah I'm good thank you um you welcomed a few players back well but to Hong Kong yesterday [0:16] including Mikhailo Mudrik I just wanted to start with him how how's it been in his first day how [0:22] sorry which one Mikhailo Mudrik how's he been in the brief time he's been in [0:28] Hong Kong how's his fitness uh good afternoon everyone and we are thrilled that Misha could [0:34] be with us we are thrilled and I think that you could see his his smile how a great feeling was [0:42] for him to be part of a team because he's been long time training on his own and fitness level we will [0:49] see but he's he has been working hard and now it's about trying to to get to to do things passing the [0:58] ball to teammates having to integrate in the in the dynamic but but the first uh feeling from [1:04] everyone we we are happy that he's back with with with us in the team we'll go to Simon hey Javi um [1:13] can you give an indication when you hope Jordan Henderson will be ready to start training and [1:21] playing with you obviously he's not here and and secondly just an update on Rob Sanchez and [1:26] what his fitness is at the moment yeah with uh Jordan we expect that he can start training [1:33] with all the rest of the players that were involved in the semis on the World Cup we have [1:39] few of them involved so we are looking forward to to welcome them and Jordan we need to assess because [1:46] of the the injury he had uh how long it would take to be fit to to compete because he can train but [1:54] we need to to be aware of of the situation and and Rob is much better so let's see tomorrow hi Javi a [2:01] quick one just can Danny Welbeck or Misha play tomorrow yes yes both of them so how is Misha's [2:08] condition in terms of playing football what did you see from him uh we train yes he came he came direct [2:14] from the from the airport to the hotel so yesterday it was more about the feelings more about the emotions [2:23] to be back with the team more than the to assess the fitness level so uh but yes he could play maybe 90 [2:31] minutes too early but uh he can be selected he's he he's selected so he can be he can play [2:41] hi Javi Paul Matlamara from the south china morning post given the level of investment [2:46] Chelsea have made this summer is there a responsibility on you or a real expectation on you to go and win the [2:52] league this season and how do you manage that pressure well each each season it's it's a moment [2:59] to to invest to buy to get players to sell players so but to do things with with a plan that we had in [3:07] mind so we are still three weeks to go in the in the transfer market but we have an idea how we want [3:13] to to finish let's try to to accomplish it the best possible way and that that makes sense with the [3:19] finances as well everything needs to be come together with what you expand and what you you uh you receive [3:26] from from the sales so that makes need to make for sure uh sense and we want to have a good season [3:34] let's see where we are in may but for sure we want to to have the feeling that we are competitive that we [3:39] can uh deserve to to fight for important things during this year time will tell but uh we we that's our goal [3:48] at the moment hi chevy uh matthew walsh from afp uh just going back to mikaela midrick i'm wondering [3:56] if the club is considering anything like loaning him um out to regain some experience and playing time [4:03] at a another club this year perhaps to strassburg or somewhere else or even if a transfer could be [4:08] enough in the offing for him uh no decision made it has everything has happened so quick so the main [4:14] thing is that uh it was thinking about the the person to to feel back uh that he was back in in [4:22] the group dynamic part of a team and we need to assess but for sure his special player is a special [4:30] case with him so we need to be sensitive good gentleman to our right hi chevy how are you i hope [4:36] you're enjoying um hong kong um i'm well from footer bay and i had a question about nicholas jackson's future [4:41] actually especially with the signing of danny welbick do you still see him as part of your plans [4:46] and if so what kind of role do you expect him to have this season yeah nico is is a great player [4:52] he's a threat to play against any defense so we want to have uh players that i compete and nico for [5:00] sure is one of them we need to to go day by day checking options but uh we are happy that nico is with [5:06] us we'll go to the woman on the second row please hello shabby question from billy billy first one can [5:13] you talk about the physical condition of modric uh till now he's been long time training on his own [5:23] so that's for sure it's different because football is a a team game and he need to ball with teammates [5:30] but he's really professional on that side he has done great work and now it's about going [5:36] and progressively in that in those process to be back with a team dynamic thank you and second one [5:43] we know that you experienced some difficult time last season but as we know to be a manager of primer [5:51] league uh is you really need to figure out some more complicated situation do you have confidence thank [6:00] you well i have confidence i have uh motivation i have good feeling with the with the team with [6:07] the players what we want to to achieve that we when we are starting the the premier league we feel that [6:13] we are ready for sure the players that we have now we are expecting the the other ones that that will [6:21] join i would love to have more time with them but it is what it is but the the feeling that we will [6:27] start in good ways is there okay to the gentleman on the back row please hello shabby i'm kobe from cable [6:34] news so i want to ask like the spurs you'd like you we chelsea were lost to spurs in australia last game [6:43] and what do you want to do what do you think like there's something to improve for the team and what [6:49] do you want to show the fans about like uh upon tomorrow's game thank you yeah we are in in the middle of [6:58] the position i would say is three weeks since we started three weeks to go more or less so we we [7:05] we take every every game as uh we analyze it the things that we have working we have done right what [7:12] we can improve and from the spurs game we we have take and we have analyzed it and from tomorrow as [7:20] well juve is a great team with great experienced players with a great coach so it's going to be a [7:26] a very interesting and useful test for us gentlemen to our left good evening sabi some of your players [7:33] such as moises are given extra holiday and do you think the 21 day rest period suggested by the [7:39] fever is enough for your player to recover from the world cup we know that after every world cup there [7:49] are players that they don't have as many holidays as many days off as they should the calendar is really [7:59] intense really demanding and and they probably they deserve more but we need to get ready for the [8:05] competition there is not much time to waste and moise is in this case moyo or mike as well penders or [8:13] pedro that he joined yesterday as well they have a great mentality to work and to prepare us as soon as [8:20] possible you can get everything you can get got long holidays and play world cup or you want long [8:26] holidays you don't play the world cup if you play the world cup normally you have less holidays it [8:31] is to have everything is difficult okay we've got time for two more questions we'll go gentleman at [8:37] the front and then finish with the man on third right yeah hi javi from club chinese social um firstly [8:42] obviously takes time for a new manager to come in or basically with new players as well so a couple of [8:47] games already what stage do you feel you know you and the whole team is at at the moment and obviously [8:53] secondly one just uh a few words for the for the local fans that will come to support you yeah we are [8:57] a stage of precision so still still not where we are going to be for sure and we are looking forward [9:06] to playing this new stadium i i i knew the another stadium here in hong kong front but the excitement and [9:15] the engagement with the local fans is is fantastic you you feel that they are so even being far away they are [9:23] so close they they are very involved in in the team news and that's great to feel and and tomorrow it [9:29] will be and now even in training it's going to be it's going to be great okay final question hi sabi [9:36] he is a mental from sample yen as a player you are a liverpool legend yourself and you have faced [9:42] charlesi a few times as well and now you are the manager what's good tradition you think charlesi have [9:49] kept throughout the years good traditions of charlesi ah they have the pride the honor of of the club is [10:02] above everything i think that it's for me it's i'm really happy to be part of the club i have great [10:07] memories and and you the ambition they decide to do great things to achieve great things and we are in [10:14] this process we are just starting but that's the the ultimate goal to to have access and to to win [10:21] things okay well thank you everybody thank you well they they don't say anything i just wanted to [10:32] to keep playing for the club they want they want me to renew the contract and i i i say yes because i [10:42] want to to to become a legend here so that's why i i renew my contract do you see that they're building [10:51] something positive though um with the new players the experience coming in as well do you think [10:56] they're building something positive with danny welbeck and jordan henderson coming in still yeah for [11:03] us it's important i'm so happy to have them in the club because it's gonna it's gonna help to the young [11:13] players to uh with their experience so i'm so happy and for sure we're gonna achieve a lot of things [11:22] together some hey moises and you signed risa signed um cole is seems to be very happy enzo fernand is [11:36] someone you've you've obviously got a great midfield partnership with are you saying trying to say to [11:42] him please stay with us we we want you with us i love enzo he knows i have a lot of respect for him [11:55] because as we know the player he is not just a player he's a great person uh i i want him to stay [12:08] but i don't i'm i'm not gonna talk about that because if he stay here he's gonna be massive for us so [12:17] yes i just want the best for him and for sure he wanna he wanna think and he gonna do what what he [12:29] what is best for him and the second one on enzo he scored a big goal against england um he may have [12:39] some interesting reception from fans non-chelsea fans next season do you think he can handle that the kind [12:48] of character that he is that he can handle perhaps not being the most popular player in in the premier [12:53] league yeah 100 100 he is a strong player he has some mentality that's why he's a world champion so [13:07] for sure he wanna manage the pressure and he will not continue how he finished yes hi my um can i just [13:19] ask you a bit more you touched on danny welbeck but you obviously played with him for a couple years [13:24] at brighton um what's he like as a person to be able to bring inside the dressing room and also what's [13:30] he like as a player hey as a player and as a person he is top he helped me a lot when when i arrive to [13:43] in brighton he was so important for me and now having here is uh it feels good i'm so happy to have [13:55] him if you wanna help us a lot for sure uh to our strikers as well for with his mentality uh he has [14:07] everything he knows and yeah he's gonna be so important for for for the premier league for for [14:15] everything so yeah i'm just so happy did you or any of the other ex-brighton boys talk to him [14:22] when um you heard that chelsea were interested no no to be honest when he just arrived here and [14:32] hug him because uh i was so happy when he signed it uh yeah it's gonna as i said he's gonna be so [14:44] important for us and i'm looking forward to to to play with him hi moises you've spoken before about [14:55] how you initially struggled with your price tag when you joined chelsea so can you talk a little bit [15:00] about how you overcame that so as you could play with more freedom and what advice would you give to [15:05] morgan rogers who is a player who's coming in for a similar fee maybe even a bit more well i think he's [15:13] not gonna have too much pressure yeah now i i feel free so playing or doing something because i think [15:29] it's part of the of the journey to to pass this moment so now i'm so happy for for being for being [15:42] uh now a player who passed that uh for sure uh rogers it's gonna be massive for us and so so happy to [15:54] have him as well because he wanna he's gonna bring his quality everything to that we with his goals [16:03] as well assist and yeah i'm just looking forward to it hello moise question
