ZAK ATTACK

The 28-year-old midfielder Jorginho said: “When you have questions or doubts, you ask me and I ask you if I can, because my English is not very good.
“I taught him ‘man in’, ‘turn’ or if he’s on the other side, ‘we change the game’. The things you want on the floor. ” Man in, “fall” or “up. “
“We are looking to help others. That’s what you do on and off the field.
“He’s satisfied here. He has a wonderful personality, a wonderful player with a lot of experience.
“He’s helping us all as a group, the young players, everyone.
“Discover a way to communicate, either with your hands or talk to me and I give the data to others. We’re looking for a way. “
Silva himself revealed that an argument on the education floor had been the way he learned that Petr Cech was preparing for Chelsea.
He told Esporte Interativo: “He’s a guy we shouldn’t give up on. His story is very nice in football. “
“We talked a little bit, he speaks a little French, so we have a little more discussion than usual.
“And the other day I saw him work out and I asked him why he exercised, if it was because he liked it or if he had a chance to be with us.
He said he was training, so if he needed it, whatever the opportunity, he can play.
And finally, Frank Lampard has distanced Chelsea from discussions about a European Super League.
Liverpool and Premier League rivals Liverpool United are at the forefront of plans to upgrade the Champions League with an even more lucrative alternative.
But Lampard told reporters after Tuesday’s draw with Sevilla: “I don’t know enough about it.
“I love the Premier League. I love the product that it is, as we all do in England.

“Goals and small main points can make a difference in the end.
“We want to paint on other things to improve, but I think we’re on the right track.
“We want to protect the internal surface, how to press and not turn off stopped games.
“These main points make a big difference. We have to be conscious all the time. We’re looking to do that.
“Thiago (Silva) helped a lot, he spoke a lot. Defensively, he has great delight and knows football tactically, so he’s helping us all a lot.
“He’s been betting on a high point for a long time. I think it’s easy to see that he’s a wonderful player on the field.

Sincerely
Frank Lampard satisfied with one point after the Blues opened their Champions League crusade with a 0-0 draw with Sevilla.
He said, “[The blank sheet is] anything you try. Thiago has shown delight and quality.
Mendy had an impediment to do and he did, a very orderly defensive function on our part.
“We control all the things that were thrown at us. We had a few moments, too. It’s wise, it’s a matter of two very smart groups being annuled in the first game, and we take the point and move on. “
“I think any of the groups will be quite satisfied with that. We’re going to get better, I stay saying the same thing, we haven’t had the staff there, we play regularly, we build relationships, we paint with others.
“If we do this, we will naturally get better. “
GO WITH THE FLO
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Chelsea’s fragility in the back prevented them from winning the Premier League title.

“They lose too many passes. It’s a breath of air to see them go ahead with Mason Mount and [Timo] Werner.
“But defense is a concern, if the power plants and the doorman can’t, that’s a problem.
“Alisson wins trouble in Liverpool, but that’s not the case with Kepa. Chelsea want to do it in this area.
ED IN HAND

“It’s a football injury. This is not a good time to communicate.
“The leak probably doesn’t suit Manchester United or Liverpool right now, as they are big, nasty thugs.

CHILD OUT
Ben Chilwell congratulated Chelsea on their defensive opposition to Sevilla in the 0-0 draw in the Champions League.

“We are a very sensible team and when you play at Chelsea you expect blank sheets and if you concede a lot of goals, they will criticize you as a more sensible team.
That is why it is vital for us to continue to manage the educational field.
“I think we show that defensively we are a very strong team. They are one of the groups in Europe and getting a blank sheet in front of a very intelligent attack team has been positive.
“We didn’t give them many chances. It would have been great to get a house win, but we’re going to get the draw and a blank sheet. “
