NEED FOR A RESPONSE ON THE FIELD, TEAM INJURIES, YOUNG PLAYERS: ALL THE WORDS OF GRAHAM POTTER BEFORE THE MATCH AGAINST DYNAMO ZAGREB FOR THE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Graham Potter spoke to the press ahead of the final UEFA Champions League group stage match against Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge.
“Kepa will not be available for the game, slight issue. We look at probably [down] days, but certainly not tomorrow's game. Kovacic, just watch out for your calf. There's a chance for tomorrow's game and we'll make the decision later.” “He [Koulibaly] will [be available] as long as there is no reaction. He trained today, so he was fine. He is available and on the team tomorrow.”
In the absence of Kepa Arrizabalaga due to injury, Édouard Mendy gains another opportunity to surprise and try to regain the position of first-choice goalkeeper of the team. Graham Potter revealed conversations with the Senegalese goalkeeper about his time in the team and spoke about the importance of competition for positions.
“Yes, I had good conversations with him [Mendy]. He has been great, best professional, very supportive. Obviously he was injured when we arrived so Kepa played and did well. He's honest and professional enough to know that sometimes you have to be patient and work hard and support the team and support Kepa, which is exactly what he did. , he made sure he trained well and kept his standards very high and now he has an opportunity. It's unfortunate for Kepa [suffering the injury], that's life, it's professional football and he's ready.” “Well, you hope so [there's a dispute between Kepa and Mendy]. You expect to have as many tough decisions as possible across the team because you have competition, you have good players pushing each other to improve and that can only be beneficial for the team.”
Chelsea did not perform well last Saturday against Brighton, Graham Potter's former team, and suffered their first defeat under the new manager. He recognized the need for time for the team's evolution process.
“It's been a process since the game [vs Brighton] to be honest. It's one of those things you have to deal with. It's never good to lose and the way we played was not pleasant. I think we got stuck with the atmosphere, I think they got off the blocks too fast, we didn't. Before we talk about anything, form a tactical perspective, we are 2-0 behind on the scoreboard and so the environment is completely positive for the home team and not for us.”“We had a great chance to make it 2-1 and then the game was a little more open than we would have liked. Their goalkeeper makes another good save, but in the end we weren't good enough to get the points.” As the game went to the last moments as we were, pushing to get a goal, most likely, they scored the fourth, which was disappointing and the score is what it is. Overall, we have to learn from the game and we have to be better.”
Despite already being classified and with the first place of the group guaranteed, Graham Potter preached respect to Dinamo Zagreb and the UEFA Champions League.
“We have to have respect for the competition and respect for the teams. We have to prepare to win, we are at home, we want to finish the competition well at this stage and we want to respond to the disappointment of the weekend. We are going to pick a team that we think can win against the opponent and we are going to try our best.”
