At 3:00 am on October 1, in the second round of the Champions League phase, Chelsea will face Benfica at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Before the game, Blues winger Neto attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of himself and the team.

About the team's current state

—The atmosphere in the club is very positive, and many of the points we lost are caused by our own mistakes. I'm not blaming everyone, but our own mistakes really made us lose our scores. The players are all very positive and we have the opportunity to show our abilities tomorrow.

About the aspects that the team needs to improve

—As a team, we want to do better. The standards we set are very high. We have been playing well and doing a lot of positive things. These losses are due to our own mistakes, and that's where we need to improve.

About 1-3 loss to Brighton

—Even with only 10 players, we always like to attack, which is of course. As Chelsea, we can't concede 3 goals so easily. As a team, we have to do better, no matter the head coach’s choice.

About criticism

—Football is like this. Maybe you were the best before, but if you lose, you are the worst. The same is true for players.

About Estewan

—He likes to study, you can clearly see that he works very hard and he has great potential. We all know how great he is and he needs to keep going.

About the team talk

—We all had a discussion in the locker room. Our leaders, our captain, have already made it clear. I won't say everything we're discussing, we know what we can do.

About Mourinho

—As a Portuguese, it is something to be proud of to be able to play with a coach like Mourinho. We are really looking forward to fighting them, it is a great opportunity to rebound.

Talk about Mourinho

—People should not have any differences in their views, look at his achievements, he has contributed to the Portuguese people. People respect him very much, they know his worth, and that's why they hired him.

Regarding being substituted against Manchester United

- this is the head coach's decision. If you ask me if I like it, my answer is that I never want to leave the court, but we all accept his decision.
