What the managers are saying

Marko Nikolic (Vidi):“We are looking forward to facing one of the best teams in the world, and a world-class coach.“I see the headlines, of course: which Chelsea players are travelling and which are not, but you cant talk about a ‘B-team’ when Pedro, Giroud or Loftus-Cheek could be in the starting line-up, since they would be stars in most teams in the world.”Maurizio Sarri (Chelsea): “The last match [against Vidi] was very difficult, very low and it was difficult to score. They are fighting for qualification.”
