#Trevoh_Chalobah: 👇
“I only found out when I saw the team sheet a few hours before the game and my name was in the starting line-up, I was over the moon. To play in a final, especially a European final, to go and win it as well, was just unbelievable.”
“It’s been a great start and it was a complete surprise. I’d played in the pre-season games, got good minutes and did well, but it was a final and you expect the manager to play the senior players.”
“Starting my first-ever game for the club at the Bridge is a moment I can never forget and then I topped it off with a goal, which was obviously a very nice feeling.”
Trevoh #Chalobah on his first Chelsea start:
“I just couldn’t believe it. It’s every kid’s dream to play in the Premier League, that was my dream for years, being a ball boy, going to watch games, seeing Champions League nights at Stamford Bridge.”
“Everything came together and it was just like ‘wow, I’ve scored at Stamford Bridge’. It was amazing. It took at least a week to sink in.”
Trevoh Chalobah on his first Chelsea goal:
“It was everything from when I came here when I was eight, all those memories just flashed through my mind, the loans and all the hard work I’ve done and the sacrifices I’ve made.”
#Trevoh Chalobah on his brother, #Nathaniel:
“I spoke to my brother straight after the Palace game and he was so happy for me because he’s been here as well, he’s played at Stamford Bridge, he’s won the Premier League, so he knows how it feels.”
“When we were both here and I would go across to take part in training with the first team, it would be nice to train with him. Now one day we could play on the same pitch in the Premier League, that would be another dream.”
#TrevohChalobah on his versatility: 👇
“I can fill out a role in the midfield as well if needed, it’s good to have that versatility and for a manager to have options.”
“To play in midfield you need to be good on the ball and that’s one of my main things, but obviously you need that at the back as well here, being comfortable on the ball, aiming to play out through the likes of Jorginho and N’Golo Kante.”
“It was a nice feeling when the manager told me. He spoke to me after training and told me how well I’d done, that I’d taken my chance in pre-season and in the games. He said he thinks I can be a good asset to the team.”
“I spoke to the manager between the Palace and Arsenal games and he told me he wanted me to stay, so I moved over to the first-team building that week. Before that I was changing over at the Academy, but now I’ve fully moved over.”
