"I'm managing the group as best as I can, We have so many games. Reece is so important. I don't normally do pre-planned substitutions, but I wanted Reece to play the way I needed him to, while also protecting him because of how important he is to us."
"It was a very important goal for the team, so I'm really happy because the game was tough. The team performed well, we got the three points and now we keep going because we still have one more game."
"A lot of people say I am a leader. I don't talk too much in the dressing room, but I try to show it on the pitch and in training."
Liam Rosenior made a pre-planned half-time substitution, replacing captain Reece James with Estevao to manage a congested schedule, protect James and allow a more attacking setup. Estevao provided a positive impact off the bench after coming on. Chelsea faced a deep defensive block from Pafos and required patience, eventually breaking through via Moises Caicedo's decisive goal to secure a 1-0 Champions League win. Caicedo described the goal as very important, noted the match was tough, praised the team's performance and patience, and emphasized that he prefers to lead by example on the pitch and in training.
