Rossinier: The Result is the Most Important Statistic, Chelsea Owners Back Me 100%

Chelsea manager Liam Rossinier addressed the media ahead of his team's Premier League clash against Brighton tomorrow. The situation for the London Blues is far from ideal, with the team enduring four consecutive losses without scoring a goal, making a top-five finish increasingly unlikely.

The young coach began with team news: “A decision on João Pedro will be made at the last minute. He trained on the pitch today. We will make a decision on him tomorrow morning. Estevao will definitely not play tomorrow, and we are conducting further tests on him. Enzo Fernandez is completely fine.”

Rossinier then discussed Chelsea's poor run of form: “As a coach, you have to be guided by data and the process, because you believe that ultimately it will yield results. For now, we need to win the match because that's what this club demands. The most important statistic is the result, and tomorrow night we must fight for it.

We've made things difficult for ourselves; we need to be realistic and honest. We cannot give up; we must continue to fight. We need to ensure we go to Brighton with similar qualities to what I saw against Manchester United – in terms of energy, intensity, and commitment to the game, which were good, but we failed to keep a clean sheet and didn't capitalize on our chances. We need to be precise and ruthless.

I believe that if you want to win matches, you must ensure you don't concede goals – that's the hallmark of any successful team. We have exceptional players who can score goals in crucial moments. Lately, that hasn't been happening, but what disappoints me are the goals we are conceding. We can't win every game by scoring two or three goals, but what we need to address immediately are the goals we are letting in.”

Asked if he has the support of Chelsea's owners, the manager replied: “100%. They support me, and our daily conversations give me strength. We know we want to win football matches right now, but that doesn't contradict the fact that we want success and lasting success in the long term.”

"This week is very important for us. This is what you're in football for – decisive matches. We have an extremely important game ahead, and then an FA Cup semi-final. That's why you're in football, but now is the time to show what we're capable of, and that's what we should strive for. I watched Brighton's last match live before our game, and we analyzed it, as well as many others. Fabian Hürzeler is doing a fantastic job," Rossinier concluded.
