🚨 John Terry on Xabi Alonso finally handing Estêvão Willian a starting place against Manchester United: 🎙️ Interviewer: “John, Chelsea fans have been questioning why Estêvão hasn’t been starting more games. What do you make of Xabi Alonso’s decision to start him today? John Terry: “I understand the fans. They’ve watched this kid come in, seen the talent, the confidence and the excitement he brings. When you have a player like that, supporters naturally want to see him on the pitch. Today, Xabi has listened to that demand and given him an opportunity.” Interviewer: “Does this feel like a big moment for Estêvão? John Terry: “Absolutely. Manchester United away is not an easy stage. But these are the moments young players dream about. He’s got the shirt, he’s got the opportunity, and now he has to show that he belongs in this team.” Interviewer: “Chelsea supporters seem delighted to finally see his name in the starting eleven. John Terry: “And rightly so. Some fans have been frustrated, asking the same question every week: why isn’t he starting? Now they have what they’ve been asking for. But football is not won on team sheets. Estêvão has to turn that excitement into a performance.” Interviewer: “What would you tell him before kick-off? John Terry: “Don’t play with fear. Don’t spend the game worrying about making a mistake. Take your man on, be brave, create something and enjoy yourself. The fans are behind you. Sometimes one performance is all it takes to change your place in a team.” Interviewer: “So the pressure is now on Estêvão? John Terry: “The opportunity is his. The fans have made their feelings clear, the manager has trusted him, and now it’s over to the boy. Show us what you’ve got.”

🚨 Davinson Sánchez on the fight involving Roland Sallai and Kerem Aktürkoğlu after the final whistle: 🎙️ Interviewer: “Davinson, the final whistle brought chaos. Players from both teams became involved, and police had to enter the pitch. What happened out there? Davinson Sánchez: “This is not an ordinary game. Everyone knows what this derby means. The pressure is unbelievable, the emotions are intense, and nobody wants to lose. We had just beaten our biggest rivals, and the atmosphere was already electric. But football has to remain football, even when the emotions are running high.” “I will always defend my teammates. Always. These guys fight beside me every week, and I will never pretend that their feelings don’t matter to me. But defending your family doesn’t mean you should lose control. There is a difference between standing up for your badge and allowing your emotions to make decisions for you.” “I’m proud of this team for winning 2–1, and I’m proud of the fight we showed during the match. But the headlines should have been about Victor Osimhen scoring twice and Galatasaray earning a massive victory. Instead, everyone is talking about what happened after the whistle. That’s frustrating because we worked so hard to win this game.” Interviewer: “Some fans say these confrontations are part of derby football. Do you agree? Davinson Sánchez: “Passion is part of football. Intimidation, pushing and losing control should never become the main story. We can compete fiercely for 90 minutes and still understand that the final whistle has to mean something.”
