π£οΈ Xabi Alonso on Chelseaβs 3-1 win over Real Sociedad in the final pre-season match:
π€ βIt was a very good last preparation game.
βFor some players it was the first one and the last one. For us, there were some good things, some things we can improve. Itβs normal at this moment for some players.
βIt was great to have all the team together. Some of them after three days could play for 60 minutes. It was the last test. Now we have a whole week to prepare for Fulham, but it was a good feeling in the stadium.β

βIt was emotional to feel my first time in the new home. A great reception from the supporters to the team and to the new staff, myself as well, so delighted.
βWe want to create good connections and have that support. We want to give them good football so they will give us energy, and we connect. To have a good atmosphere here in the stadium will be a massive boost for the team.β

π£ JoΓ’o Pedro: "I know that when a new player joins a club, sometimes it can be a little bit difficult. For me at Chelsea, it was completely different. I felt at home straight away and won a trophy after just ten days! I feel very comfortable here and, hopefully, we can win more titles together."

Todd Boehly and Mark Walter are in talks to sell their stakes in Chelsea to majority owner Clearlake Capital.
Since buying Chelsea, Boehly and Walterβs side of the consortium has clashed with Clearlake over strategy. While Clearlake owns more than 60 per cent of Chelsea, it shares joint control and equal governance of Chelsea FC with Boehly, who chairs the club.
The talks come after years of on-and-off negotiations between the two sides, but it was not yet certain that a deal would be struck.

π£ JoΓ’o Pedro: "My position has always been number nine,β says Joao Pedro. βBut because I have good technique, I can come deeper or go to the wing. But I just want to play and help the team on the pitch.
Sometimes I will be deep, sometimes in the box. What I canβt lose is the instinct of where I need to be on the pitch. Sometimes, in football, you just need to feel."
