How important are these trips for building that, you know, relationships, especially with some new signings in the squad this year?

Yeah, I think it's important first and foremost to build a foundation.

There's a lot of new faces, staff and players.

We want to familiarise ourselves with each other and we play a lot of games during the season but I do think you can be like ships in the night we do recovery after a game and then we go home and you know it's very individualised you have to really focus on yourself and how you make yourself right and to be the best version of yourself because you've got a game again in two days so I think these trips and you know this 24 hour time together that we get to have is really really good because we're spending time at dinners we're not just eating for the sake of eating and going up to our rooms because we've got a game so having that time to bond and all get together as a group and have a laugh, go to these activities and, you know, because the season can be really, really stressful.

And I think this is a trip which is, you know, very much focused on football, but also just the enjoyment, like being in a great place.

We are the luckiest people in the world to have the job that we have.

So to enjoy that every day, we get some of your best mates.

What do you think is the step Chelsea needs to take to finally get that trophy that we're all desperate for?

How important are these trips for building that, you know, relationships, especially with some new signings in the squad this year?

Yeah, I think it's important, um, first and foremost, to build a foundation.

Um, there's a lot of new faces, staff and players.

Um, so we want to familiarize ourself with each other.

And we play a lot of games during the season, but I- I do think you can be like ships in the night.

We do recovery after a game, and then we go home and, you know, it's very indi- individualized.

You have to really focus on yourself and how you make yourself right and to be the best version of yourself because you've got a game again in two days.
