Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea coach, after the 1-1 draw against Liverpool for the resumption of the championship): “At the beginning it was difficult, we were better after twenty minutes, we had more confidence, we found our positions better. In tough times, the team stepped up and the fans were amazing. But that’s only the beginning. We will continue to push every day to improve, to be better individually and collectively.

(on the transfer window) Do we need good players? Yes. Do we need to improve the team? Yes. It’s not new. I’m happy with the way we work with the owners, we will improve the team of course. You have to find the right profile, the right player. But today we conceded only one shot on target, against Liverpool… I don’t know if we can be more solid. But we have to create more chances to maybe score more.
