Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

But we have the players, as we have shown against good opposition this season, we're an extremely difficult side to live with at home. (on Chelsea)
