๐ฃ๏ธ Interim coach Calum McFarlane on Chelseaโs 1-1 draw with Manchester City [A] in the Premier League:
๐ค โIโm really proud of the players and how they performed, especially in the second half.
โYoung players in those moments may crumble, but they were exceptional second half. We deserved a point minimum. We could have won the game. We had some big chances and big moments in the second half.
โWe didnโt expect them to shape up the way they did in the first half, so they had a lot of control.
โWe were getting pinned back with Estevao and Pedro [Neto] having to defend in a back five at times, which meant they had so much control and rhythm. Thatโs not how we wanted the game to look.
โWe made a change at half-time to go more man for man against the ball, and to be able to get more pressure to disrupt their rhythm and hopefully force them to go a little bit longer.
๐ On the impact from the subs:
โAndrey Santos was exceptional. He really controlled the middle of the pitch. In and out the possession the shape change and the sub really helped us. Liam [Delap] gave us a really good outlet to go more direct and occupy the centre-half.โ
โWe can talk about that, but the most impressive thing was the players. One-nil down at the Etihad, players falling ill on the day of the game, all the change, for them to regroup and take that information on and execute it speaks volumes about the characters we have at this club.โ
๐ค On the current plans moving forward:
โWeโre training tomorrow. So unless Iโm told otherwise this evening, Iโll be taking that session. My sole focus has obviously been on this game and the challenge that this is.
โWhen I first took the job, I was told that I will take the Manchester City game. So that was three days with the group. Thereโs a chance that the new manager will be in on Monday. Thatโs what I was told originally. Obviously, itโs Sunday now. Weโve been solely focused on the game. So Iโm sure I could get more information once Iโm out of this press conference. But for all I know, the new manager will be in shortly and I will lead the team until heโs in.โ

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Liam Rosenior has confirmed heโs leaving RC Strasbourg to become Chelseaโs next head coach. ๐ค
๐ฃ๏ธ Rosenior said in his press conference on Tuesday morning:
โI was given permission to speak to one of the biggest clubs in the world. It was an honour to be associated with a club like that, and now, it looks like I will be the next manager of that football club.
โIt's an unbelievable opportunity at an incredible club, the world champions, and one I just couldn't turn down. And I can go home, and see my kids. I have made a sacrifice being away from them.
โIt's been the best 18 months of my professional career here at Strasbourg. I have met some incredible people and none of that happens without the hard work of everyone connected with this football club. It's not just Chelsea, I have had interest from other Champion League clubs. But this opportunity, I can't turn down.
"I haven't signed yet. I have verbally agreed with Chelsea. Everything has been agreed and will probably go through in the next few hours. I want to make this clear. It's why I'm here [for this press conference] as I care about this club.
โI am getting on a plane after this to have discussions [with Chelsea]. Hopefully, then all the paperwork will be signed, and then I can meet my new squad which I am really, really looking forward to doing."
Rosenior confirmed Khalifa Cisse (assistant), Ben Warner (head of analysis) and Justin Walker (assistant) will join his staff at Chelsea from Strasbourg.
