Also asked which outfield player fancies himself in goal, he was quoted saying “It is Olivier Giroud.

“After training sometimes when we have done some tactical work, we will do some shooting and he will go in goal and have a bit of fun, when the goalies have been working really hard and they have had a long session,” he said.

He also added that: “Ollie will say give us the gloves, I will go in goal and he loves to do that. And he is decent at it!”

“Gary Cahill and David Luiz. The leaders of the squad. They were really vocal around the changing rooms and helped the team if we had a little dip. They were always positive and tried to push the lads on in training as well.”

As for the biggest joker in the dressing room, his reply was; “I would say David [Luiz], he is always messing about, and Toni Rudiger. Both of them are characters and are funny, in a way that makes it easy to be yourself around them because they are warm people and very funny.”

The quietest?; “N’Golo is. N’Golo and Ruben. You get more conversation out of Ruben but N’Golo only speaks when he needs to so I would say N’Golo is the quietest.” Follow @CFCCliq - Chelsea FC Cliq
