- Rosenior said getting through is the most important thing, and time on the pitch with the players will help so much. He had no time, he said, and asked them to press in a way they had never done before.
- Asked whether Cole Palmer's half-time entry was planned or about fitness, Rosenior said both. There was no way Palmer could have started and played 60 to 80 minutes, and he felt his performance was magnificent.
“It's what he's made for.”
- Asked whether Palmer's impact was a scary thought, Rosenior said yes, but he does not like to talk about individuals. The most pleasing part, he thinks, was the group's reaction to a difficult first half.
- Rosenior said he wanted to go man for man all over the pitch because they needed to win. When Napoli went more direct after 20 to 25 minutes, Chelsea pressed from deeper, which he thinks helped.
- Rosenior said football is not about him and gave the credit to the players. They lost a manager they really respected, and the way they accepted a new one and worked for him is a credit to them.
- Asked whether the forward who scored twice could be Brazil's number nine, Rosenior said he would not tell Brazil's coach how to do his job. He has told the player that intensity brings his quality out.
