🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on watching the game:
"Relaxed? You don't really get relaxed when you have a lead of one goal. It was a really, really intense game and we know what it takes to win away games.
"We have managed well to suffer, to compete and to do whatever it takes in certain moments and that's why it feels great, these three points."

🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on what he liked:
"The early goal helped to get confidence, I think we had a few chances to score the second one before their equaliser but we were quite stable, we were quite comfortable even without the ball and were a threat.
"The three strikers were combining well and creating chances and at the end to know that to win games away you need to roll your sleeves up and fight and defend your goal. It's something we need to do for the future as well and it's a good first day for us."

🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on Robert Sanchez performance:
"It's about the team, not the individuals. The first goal, we can do better to defend. We can do better to avoid. It's part of the game, we need to accept and learn. This is a process. Everyone can improve, we want to do better in everything."

🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on front three all scoring:
"They are going to be a very important part of the team. We want to build the team with them. They need to take responsibility, lead the rest and inspire the rest. We need to use them in the best-possible situations. I'm happy for the three of them. They have played for the team and all scored."

🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on Cole Palmer performance:
"I'm very happy for Cole because I've really enjoyed seeing him play with this dynamism, with this freedom, with the responsibility to help the team. He feels important and we need that for the team. If Cole feels this way, we will have a better him and a better Chelsea."

🚨🗣 Xabi Alonso on a crazy game:
"@League_Premier is fantastic because sometimes the games are out of your hands and you don't control them. We need the players on the pitch to know what to do and how to manage it, that's as important as the tactics being right."
