Santos: I’m helping Esteban adapt; I’d like to thank White Castle coach Rochiel for cultivating me.

Hupu News November 04: Chelsea midfielder Andre Santos attended the pre-match press conference against Qarabag.

How have you adapted to the Premier League again, as it seems you have put your unhappy spell at Forest behind you.

I am very happy to return to Chelsea because life at Chelsea is very happy.

How do you think your predicament in the forest helped you adapt?

I think we just try to look at these things as positively as possible.

How important do you think it is for Chelsea to have diversity in its squad?

I think a multilingual locker room is of course important, because I can learn more and try Spanish, English, French, and my native Portuguese.

Esteban often needs the help of the players, and we are all very happy to do so. Pedro, I and my teammates are all like this.

I came to the Premier League at the same time as Esteban. I know how difficult it is, so I will help him as much as possible.

What do you think is the difference between good and bad experiences on loan at Chelsea, and how did it affect your career? And Estevan doesn’t have a loan, what do you think.

I think it’s just a process, it’s the process of my career. Esteban is different, but my loan career at Forest and Strasbourg was all a process.

So you will never stop working hard and fighting, right?

Yes, of course.

How did you and Pedro help Esteban?

We will always be together, both on the training ground and off the field. Our relationship is very important, and we have always reported to the national team together. This relationship is also very important on the court.

Sanchez said Caicedo is the best midfielder in the world. How do you think he compares with the top midfielders you grew up watching?

It is really an honor for me to work with him. After I returned to Chelsea, he has been teaching me to play well and train well. I listened and I am really happy.

What impact do you think Rochiel has had on you?

I love him very much. It’s hard for me to say specifically, but I’m really happy. He has been helping me from joining Strasbourg to the end.

I messaged him in the past few weeks because I had been watching Strasbourg and he found out about the birth and he texted me back to congratulate me and we have a really good relationship.

What do you think of the impact of long-distance travel on players? How do you feel about the pressure, especially given that you have to go back to South America so often?

Of course, it is difficult for South American internationals to do this every month, but we all believe that only by playing well at Chelsea can we enter the national team, so we are still very satisfied with this in our hearts.

You are the first one to truly establish yourself back at Chelsea from Strasbourg. What do you think of this partnership?

Of course, I am very happy to be the first to take advantage of the situation. Several of our players have been loaned to Strasbourg this season (such as Sarr, Penders and Paz).

Do you think you are more suitable to play Caicedo's position or Enzo's position?

This question is difficult to answer because I always played the No. 6 position when I was a child, but in the Premier League, I think I may be more suitable to play the No. 8 position. But I can play in both positions. In the end, at Chelsea, as long as I can help the team, then I will listen to the coach and I will complete the tactical goals wherever he asks me to play.
