Potter assesses spirited Chelsea performance, rates Mudryk's debut and comments on Madueke signing
21 JAN 2023
Graham Potter saw good levels of spirit and energy in his Chelsea team’s performance at Anfield, and the head coach was also happy with the bright debut Mykhailo Mudryk made in blue.
卻爾西在安菲爾德的表現讓波特看到了球隊良好的精神和能量，主教練也對穆德里克的藍軍首秀感到很滿意。
The Blues fought hard against Liverpool and could well have left with all three points having created a decent number of chances, and had an early goal ruled out by VAR with the margins very fine indeed.
藍軍在對陣利物浦的比賽中表現得很努力，很有希望在創造了為數不少的機會下拿到三分，而且比賽開始不久後藍軍就有一個進球被 VAR 判罰無效，雙方的差距確實非常小。
‘I am happy with the performance overall as it is never easy here, it’s a huge challenge,’ Potter said as he started his analysis.
“我對球隊的整體表現很滿意，作客安菲爾德從來不容易，這是一次巨大的挑戰。” 波特在開始分析時說。
‘I thought we played well and were the better side in the first half. They started the second half better, but we had a couple of chances with Mykhailo [Mudryk] and Carney [Chukwuemeka].
“我認為我們踢得很好，上半場是表現更好的一方。他們在下半場開始的時候表現更好，但我們有幾次機會，分別來自穆德里克和丘奎梅卡。”
‘We wanted to win but we take the point and move forward. I liked the energy of the team and what we tried to do.
“我們想贏得比賽，但我們拿了一分，將繼續前進。我喜歡球隊的活力和我們嘗試做的一切。”
‘We were a back three in the first half and after they started well second half, we needed to adjust, bringing Mudryk on.
“上半場我們打了三後衛陣型，下半場他們的開局不錯，所以我們需要調整，讓穆德里克上場。”
‘The extra player in the build-up helped us calm it down a little bit, because of the crowd. We managed it well,’ he continued. ‘I liked the spirit in our performance so it’s something for us to move forward with.’
“增加發起攻勢的人手讓我們稍微鎮定了下來，因為他們的球迷太鼓譟了。我們控制得很好，” 他接著說， “我喜歡我們比賽中的那種精神，這是我們繼續前進的動力。”
Mudryk became the latest Chelsea player to make his Blues debut, and the head coach was happy with the Ukrainian’s outing.
穆德里克成為了最新一名完成首秀的卻爾西球員，主教練對烏克蘭人的出場感到滿意。
‘That was really good,’ enthused Potter. ‘He’s only been with us a couple of days. He will only get better the more he is with us, and the more we understand each other, but promising signs. He will get supporters off their seats. His dribbling action is really high. He knows where the goal is.
“太棒了。” 波特興奮地說， “他才和我們在一起幾天，和我們在一起的時間越長，他就會越好，我們也越了解彼此，但目前的跡象很好，他會讓球迷感到興奮，他的盤帶真的很強，他能找到進球機會。”
‘We had 45 minutes as his maximum, ideally around 35 minutes. We felt it as the right time to put him in, he is a fit boy and has trained a lot. He’s not played since November so it would have been a risk to play him from the start.
“我們設定他最多上場 45 分鐘，理想情況是 35 分鐘左右。我們覺得那時是讓他上場的時候了，他是個健康的球員，已經訓練了很久。但自 11 月以來就沒有踢過比賽，所以讓他一開始就上場是有風險的。”
‘I am happy for him to get his first minutes and start his career with us.’
“我很高興他能獲得上場時間，並在我們這裡開始他的職業生涯。”
Thiago Silva was outstanding yet again in defence and Potter heaped praise on the Brazilian.
蒂亞戈．席爾瓦再次在後防線表現出色，波特對他讚不絕口。
‘He’s got a footballing brain above everybody pretty much, because of how long he’s played at the highest level, the players he’s played with and against, his references are so strong.
“他的足球頭腦遠遠超過所有人，因為他在最高水平舞台踢球的時間很長，他的隊友和對手都很強大。”
‘He can help the team, and help individuals. Benoit there, it was only his second game in the Premier League, surely benefits from playing alongside Thiago Silva. Everyone does. He’s a leader off the pitch, on the pitch, and a really important player.’
“他能幫助球隊，也能幫助個人。巴迪亞西勒與他並肩作戰，這是他在英超的第二場比賽，與蒂亞戈．席爾瓦搭檔當然使他受益，每個人都一樣。蒂亞戈在場下也是一位領袖，是一名非常重要的球員。”
Potter also commented on the signing of Noni Madueke.
波特還評論了馬杜埃克的簽約。
‘He’s an exciting player, brings a left-footed attacking option for us and competition in that area of the pitch. He’s a young player who has had a good start in his career, accumulated games for a big club in Holland.
“他是個令人興奮的球員，為我們帶來了左腳的進攻選擇和場上那個區域的競爭。他是一名年輕球員，職業生涯已有一個好的開端，在荷蘭的豪門積累了比賽經驗。”
‘He’s ready to take the next step and we need to help him adjust to life with us and to life in the Premier League, but again he is a player our supporters will like.’
“他已經準備好邁出下一步，我們需要幫助他適應和我們在一起的生活，適應英超的生活，但他也是我們球迷會喜歡的球員。”

Every word Graham Potter said on Liverpool vs Chelsea, Mudryk, Madueke signing, Silva and more
By Adam Newson, Chief Chelsea correspondent - UPDATED 18:32, 21 JAN 2023
．How positive are the impacts that Joao Felix and Mudryk made instantaneously?
They are top players. Sometimes as coaches, we can think we turn these guys into top players, but they are top players. Joao and Mudryk, they understand the game and football. Then it’s just about helping them, fine-tuning it a little bit, the more we can get them into better situations the better it is for us and them. The signs are positive.”
．Do you think the second half of the season will be exciting? And do you think you can still chase down the top four?
“Rather they worry about in four or five months’ time, we’ve got to focus on the next day’s training and the next match. Liverpool have suffered as well but if you look at how many players we’ve had missing for a significant period of time, it’s into double figures. So that will affect any team in the Premier League.
"We also have to understand the transition we’ve all been through and all that brings. I think the way the team stuck together through a period where there was a lot of criticism, noise, pressure, we stayed together and kept trying to improve.
"Then you get yourself to a situation where some injured players are coming back, we’ve made signings that freshen the group up, and then there is more competition in the team. This is what you need at Chelsea.”
．Are you excited then?
“I think you’ve got to be excited all the time, even though sometimes you have to suffer. We’ve had to do that because I’m having to answer questions about form when there are ten injured players on the side. It wasn’t like I wasn’t selecting them, they just weren’t available. But you always have to be excited. Even though Jurgen [Klopp] has been suffering, I’m sure he’ll say he’s excited to be working for Liverpool. These are the best opportunities in football.”
．What’s the latest on Trevoh Chalobah?
“I don’t know to be honest. I’ve had to come out and speak to you guys.”
．With the squad you have, do you envisage making changes game-to-game or will you have unchanged line-ups?
“You never know. There are always slight problems that are picked up in terms of injuries, so you have to adjust to that. But I think stability helps the team. We have to be as stable as we can but at the same time, we acknowledge the competition we have in the group and the squad.
"So it’s a balance of the two. Every game brings a slightly different demand and you have to take into consideration the form and position of the players. So it’s a balancing act. You don’t always get it right of course but that is the challenge.”
