🗣️ Xabi Alonso on Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Everton [A] in the Premier League:
🤝 “We are very happy with the result and the performance.
“We needed one of these wins away, where we have played very professionally and seriously, looking solid. It was a very good win. We got many things right.
“We looked in control of the game, there were moments for sure when we had to defend, especially in the first half, but overall the team looked mature, knew what to do in each moment, and knew we’d have our own moment. That happened in the second half.
“After that, we were good with the ball, creating chances and not conceding much. To win away is always tough, and we got the clean sheet. We knew it was a matter of time and finally we got it.”
💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬:
“We need to keep working; it’s just one game.
“One [clean sheet this season] would be very poor; we need to get many more clean sheets in the rest of the league games.
“The first of the season feels good, so we have to keep going in this way, working well and being serious, and knowing that wherever we go we can play in an efficient and professional way, as we did today.”
