๐ฃ๏ธ Xabi Alonso ahead of Chelseaโs match against Hull City [H] in the Premier League:
๐ฅ ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ฌ:
โNot tomorrow [on whether Caicedo, Palestra, Henderson & Emegha are available]. We hope that they can be for Brentford.โ
๐ฏ ๐๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ:
โThey are seven points, no goals conceded. They will be hard to beat. They have their weapons with transitions and set pieces. They have the belief that the coach is doing a great job. So itโs going to be hard and weโll have to be at our best to beat Hull tomorrow.
โThey deserve to be where they are. They have played against Manchester United, Coventry and Aston Villa and they have done it really well. They have shown that they have built a very clear idea of what they want, how they want to compete with players that were already there last year, a few other players that came new, but the mentality is that they want to fight with everything to get the goal.
โTomorrow we are prepared, we are ready. There is not going to be complacency from us. We have full respect for them and we know that it will be hard to beat them. If we do things well, if we complete and play at our level, I think we will have a good chance.โ

๐ฃ๏ธ Xabi Alonso on Chelsea striker Joao Pedro:

โI would say yes.
โIf you count how many top strikers we have in the Premier League, Iโm sure that Joao is there, Haaland for sure is there.
โSo I would rate him that way.
โHeโs been top. Not just football-wise, personality-wise, his maturity, his desire. He has a very strong goal this year to have a great season, score many goals and a nominee [for Player of the Month] not just for this month but for more months.
โIโm not surprised but really happy with the kind of player we have with Joao.โ

โNo, no, no.
โHe was full enough [of fuel], he had enough in him so I didnโt have to go there, it was painful for him, but that is way back and we are now talking about our things and what he is doing well and what he can do better.โ

โIn many things, he reminds me of [Karim] Benzema, because he is good in the box, he is good out of the box, he is good coming to his left side, he is good with the head, he is very complete, he is intelligent, so yes, still young, still things to develop, but many, many absolutely outstanding qualities that he has.โ
