Lot of Palmeiras fans here? Few Chelsea fans here?
We appreciate their support. We need them and what we can say is we'll give everything to try and bring this cup home. It's really important for us.
How much of a boost would you get from Tuchel being here?
Of course it gives you more. There's more energy in the changing room. It'll be really important for us if he could be here. That's what we hope but at the moment we just don't know. We can hope.
Can you win?
Chelsea can of course win this trophy. We just need to be focused, be humble and prepared to work hard. Of course it's not going to be easy against a difficult opponent. We can bring this trophy home but of course it's not going to be easy against a difficult team.
Would winning this make up for not winning the Premier League?
It's an important trophy. It's February. It's so much. We really want it. We're not thinking about the Premier League right now, we're thinking about tomorrow. That's the important thing right now.
Are you a Sao Paulo fan?
I like Sao Paulo yes.
This would be a fifth title in six months for you?
It's a dream. The feeling is good. That's why everyone keeps working hard to try and win more. The feeling is good, we like it. That's why we keep pushing, pushing, pushing all the time to bring more trophies home. We do it for us, our families, for everyone.
What's it been like without Thomas' energy?
Of course it's different. His energy helps a lot but he's not here now and the staff is trying to do their best. We can feel that. We feel sorry Thomas is not here with us but he's involved all the time, in touch with the staff and team. We can feel the staff, all of them, are doing their best.
Tomorrow you can say you're European and world champion?
The feeling is just amazing. It's likea dream. You work for it and when it happens you feel amazing. Proud of yourself, the team and everyone who was involved. That's the feeling.
