π£οΈ Xabi Alonso ahead of Chelseaβs match against @Tottenhm Hotspur [H] in the Premier League:
π₯ ππ§ ππππ¦ π§ππ°π¬:
βMalo [Gusto] is fine.
βPep [Chavarria] is training a little bit more, but he is not going to make it [for the @Tottenhm game].
βEmmanuel Emegha is feeling better, but we need to wait.
βEmi [Martinez] is doing better.
βHe had the surgery and day by day he is feeling better, but we still need to wait. A few weeks. Hopefully, less than more, but we need to wait.
βThe good thing is that he is feeling better and we need to listen to his feelings, the opinions of the doctors, the specialists, the surgeons. Considering it was a bad one, he is doing good.β
πͺ ππ§ π ππ¨π§ππ¨π§ πππ«ππ²:
βEvery derby is special. You feel the energy, you feel the excitement from the stands. We need that energy to be used on the pitch, because that will connect well and we know that can be a boost. We need to have a good mentality for that. We need to have good emotional control as well, because in the derbies thereβs a lot of passion, thereβs a lot of commitment from both sides. Play football with heart, this is what we want.
βI have seen a good Spurs, I have seen a good team, even in bad results. So we are expecting a tough game against a good opposition. They do many good things. We need to be well prepared with the ball, what to do in different momentums. Itβs still game seven, this is going to be game eight I think. So early days for everything.β

π£οΈ Xabi Alonso on whether he is relying on Chelsea midfielder Jordan Henderson to help keep cool heads ahead of rivals @Tottenhm Hotspur:
π€ βAbsolutely, I think it helps [having Henderson around for games like this]. It helps for that experience and that composure that you need in certain moments.
βYou have players that sometimes, even during the game, they take a step back to see, this is happening and now we need to keep focused and calm.β
πͺ ππ§ ππ‘π ππππ¦ππ¨π«π ππ«π’ππ π πππ¦π¨π¬π©π‘ππ«π:
βYes, we are expecting a good atmosphere, electric, with good energy, knowing that in a derby this passion is really in the air in the stadium.
βWe need to use it in a proper way because this is all about those games where you feel that excitement, itβs something you need, that extra motivation.
βThat will come naturally because of the history of the derby and this is a top game.β
