Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso denies that young Brazilian Estevao is ‘unhappy’ with his lack of game time this season. Alonso says he can fully count on the teenager to play a major role this season for the Blues. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Arsenal defeat? With time, you have a deeper analysis and you can settle the emotions after the game. Until now, all the games have told us things, we have learned from them. We have talked, we have shared our feelings, our sensations in the game. Our main focus is now tomorrow. 0:40 Caicedo and Palestra? Not yet. They're still not ready to go. It's not the moment to take too early of a risk. We'll go game by game with them, but it's too early. 1:01 Frustrating for Palestra? Especially for him. He came with huge energy and huge desire to enjoy the Premier League. He had a very good pre-season and then a few days before the game vs Fulham, he picked up an injury. We will need him for sure because he has a great potential and lots of good qualities. 1:43 Colwill available? He's ok for tomorrow. 2:13 First impressions of Barco? He's a competitor. He is a fighter, he's very good with the ball, he's very open to adapt quickly but he's intelligent. When you have this mentality and this intelligence, it's easier for him to adapt. 3:21 Estevao unhappy? No, Este is ready. He's training well. The other day, he had a good impact and a good chance. With Este, I count on him 100% because of his potential because he's so young. The season is going to be long. 4:03 Conversations with Estevao? Private conversations should remain private. The season is going to be long. The players have the desire and the hunger to improve. Este is part of the group - he has a very good attitude and mentality to prepare for every game. 5:21 Caicedo back for Hull? Potentially, yes, but we will have to wait. Thursday or Friday we will know more. 5:35 It's going to be a long process but we need to be assessing where things are going. We need to be demanding as well. We need to improve. For sure, we want to
