But what I asked for from my team was energy, was fight.

They didn't give up and we're still in a tie.

I'm asking Rob to do things that he hasn't done before.

I said to him before the game, and I'll make this really clear, when my players make mistakes, I'm accountable.

That's on me.

He made a save in the second half that was absolutely world-class.

That could have put us out of the tie.

Chelsea are a huge club, and I know a lot of questions are being asked of my CV and my playing career and my reputation.

So I want to prove that I'm worthy of this amazing privilege that I have to be head coach of Chelsea Football Club.

Who would have said that me from Wandsworth, with the playing career that I've had and CV that I've had, ends up as head coach at Chelsea?

You have to give people a chance.

Otherwise, what's the point?

The fans, when they come to see us play, we might win games.

We're probably going to lose some games along the way.

But they can come out of the stadium, they can say, those 11 players, they gave everything in the moment.

And I think if I can work towards that, then the opinions or whether I deserve the job or whether I'm experienced enough or whether I'm good enough, it's nice.

Loved it.

Loved it.

I have to say the staff, the players have made me feel so welcome with my staff.

It has been a whirlwind, you know, getting off the plane in Strasbourg and I literally came straight to the training ground to meet the players.
