Chelsea progress to last 32 as group winners

Sarri is asked about his verdict on today’s match ... and also about his comments regarding Ngolo Kanté. “We have to play very three days so I think in the future we will have to change very often. I was happy with the performance of the young players especially.”

 About Kante, he’s asked whether he maintains that the Frenchman is not technically talented enough to play in central midfield. “I was talking only about the central one, not the centre right or the centre left,” h replies. “Cesc played very well [in that position tonight], especially in the first half.” Pressed on his comment about Kante, he suggests he was misunderstood. “I said something different. I said that in the central position of the three midfielders I prefer a very technical player. Kanté has never played with me in this position. He always played as a midfield off centre right. I think he can do very well in that position.” He is asked whether Kante and Jorginho could play together as holding midfielders. “Jorginho cannot play in a midfield with only two midfielders,” he answers.
Here’s Giroud: “The main target was to show a strong team reaction [to Spurs’ defeat]. We can move forward now.” Ive scored goals in the past but it’s true that I was waiting for more chances and a little bit of luck in front of goal. I’ve been working hard in training for that. I had good help from my teammates. Great passes from Pedro and also from Cesc - I love this kind of ball behind the defence. When the manager put me in the starting eleven, I jsut tried to give my best and do my part for the team. We needed this win. We want to finish this group unbeaten so we need to win one more game. We want to win this competition. And we want to make things right aswell in the Premier League.”
