Marcus Bettinelli: 'I’ve got a really good relationship with the gaffer, we speak on a daily basis. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and he’s got a lot of respect for me. He’s a great man, so it’s nice that we have that relationship.'

Marcus Bettinelli: 'Azpi was PFA rep for the club and I’ve stepped into that role this year. While Reece and Chilly have the captaincy and vice-captaincy, they’ve asked me to step into that role. When we have been to see the gaffer, it’s been me, Reece and Chilly together.'

Marcus Bettinelli: 'I really enjoy my role, I enjoy being a leader, I’m quite a vocal guy, so I enjoy being that person, and though I may not be playing, I can still have an influence on the lads.'

Florent Malouda: 'Chelsea need one or two players like Toni Kroos. Players who have a high football IQ that they can analyse every scenario, take right decisions and lead the team. This is the type of profile I would be looking to bring. We need experienced, ambitious players.'

This is an elite mentality. Taking accountability is something the manager could learn from too.

Rio Ferdinand on Dominic Solanke: “He’s always been talked about as great potential. I don’t think there’s any surprises at Chelsea from the people that were there seeing what he’s doing. They always said he had it in him.'
