🔵🎙Moisés Caicedo:
"It's so difficult but you have to focus on the games. We have to show the mentality to just enjoy the matches, play our own football and by doing that, I think you are able to concentrate."
"Sometimes you can feel the pressure here because you know it's a very good club. This is one of the best teams in the world but in every game you can grow and gain confidence - especially when we are playing at Stamford Bridge in front of our own fans."

Enzo Maresca ahead of Servette [A] in the UEFA Conference League play-off second leg on Thursday:
🏥 On team news:
“Romeo [Lavia] is still out, Reece [James]i s still out, and Pedro Neto and Malo Gusto won’t be involved for [injury] prevention.
“Hopefully [Reece and Romeo will be back] after the international break, hopefully.”
💪 On the game ahead in Switzerland:
“It will be a tough game we don’t have any doubts.
“We have won two games in a row, but I don’t worry about complacency. It will be a tough game.
“They won the Swiss Cup last year, and although they have lost some games recently, it probably wasn’t the right thing. They are a very good team with very good players and it’s quite clear what they want to do. I expect a tough game here in their stadium and their fans.”
