No. I spoke honestly in the semi-final [about Juan Mata’s ‘ghost goal’] - that one wasn’t over
We have to try and score there
There is a big issue in the game right now over goal line technology. My view is it has to be brought in to stop mistakes happening like in the FA Cup semi-final last Sunday. Everyone watching on television could see that Juan Mata's shot didn't cross the line but the referee gave the goal. These mistak...
Fernando Torres has been improving over the last few games
They have more experience now ... They signed some new players, like Fernando Torres and Juan Mata. They are very strong, dangerous and intense and all that will be even more noticeable in their stadium. We expect a very tough tie and we hope we can do things well to be where we all want to be.
Getting to the FA Cup final and having a chance [to advance] in the Champions League could change the balance of this season as things haven't been going as we had thought they would in the summer.
he says he feels worse than I do [for allowing Juan Mata's goal to stand]. I said: 'I don't think so.' But he says he feels bad. He knows he's made a mistake and he says he'll have a bad week as well. [But there's] nothing we can do now.
I came to England to win titles
Obviously it hurts, because you are from there and want them to to be going in the best direction possible ... I want to play in the Champions League and be in a good team, that is a big plus. I know the majority of the players. I have talked to Fernando Torres, Juan Mata, with Oriol Romeu, John Terry a...
I believe a lot in Stamford Bridge
We have Kalou and Malouda, who are both coming to the end of their contracts, and Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge are the future
Winning 1-0 or 2-0 in the first leg would be the ideal
We have Kalou and Malouda, both of whom are nearing the end of their contracts, while Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge are the future. As such, there will surely be a place to fill and I see room for an explosive player on the wing, someone who is strong in one-on-one situations and Hulk fits that profile...
He is not posting the same numbers that he did at Liverpool or Atletico Madrid, but the work he does for the team is priceless

I know the majority of the players. I have talked to Fernando Torres, with Juan Mata, with Oriol Romeu. John Te...
With Andre Villas-Boas, we could not win, no matter what we did
There was much talk in the press
My team-mates did mention that if there is one stadium where Barca does not feel comfortable and struggle, that is Stamford Bridge, especially in recent years.
To stop Messi is very difficult
I am very thankful to Villas-Boas ... He was very important for me to sign for Chelsea.
In the end, I think that Torres will be at the Euros ... He has enough credit to play for Spain.
It’s a big game for us, just like a final. We need two goals at least to qualify and we will try to do it, try to win the game and to qualify
From the first minute we have to try to create chances to score. We know they have very good strikers and we have to be careful with them, but we will press from the first minute
