Tomas Kalas felt ready to make Chelsea debut

Tomas Kalas says he had no time in which to feel nervous ahead of his
Premier League debut for Chelsea.


The Czech Republic defender was handed his bow against Liverpool on
Sunday, with boss Jose Mourinho turning to the 20-year-old centre-back for
a crunch clash at Anfield.


Kalas acquitted himself well, helping to keep a clean sheet as Chelsea
blew the title race wide open with a 2-0 win.


He is delighted to have come through such a tough first test and believes
he settled quickly alongside Branislav Ivanovic.


Asked he felt apprehensive about being thrown in at the deep end, Kalas
told sport-invest.cz: "No, and I must admit that surprised me. Maybe it
was like that because I only learned about my presence in the starting XI
on Sunday, so I didn't have time to get nervous.


"The manager asked, jokingly, the most experienced players who they had
made their debuts against in the Premier League. They were recalling
various clubs and Mourinho told me, 'See, you will have Liverpool for your
debut'.


"I believe that we then put the theory of centre-backs needing a lot of
time to get used to one another upside down.


"Hopefully people couldn't tell that it was my first game. Naturally, I
learned where I need to improve and I what I have to work on, but overall
I had a good feeling."


Next up for Chelsea, who are now just two points off the pace in the race
for the Premier League crown, is a meeting with Atletico Madrid.


Their UEFA Champions League semi-final is locked at 0-0 following a
Spanish stalemate in the first leg, and Brazilian playmaker Willian admits
it is now up to Mourinho's men to ensure that they complete the job on
home soil.


Ahead of what promises to be another epic European encounter at Stamford
Bridge, he told Lancenet: "The team is now completely focused on
Wednesday's game, which is very important.


"We have the chance to reach the Champions League final, which is every
player's dream. We are optimistic. We are playing at home, where our team
always does well.


"We have to mark them tightly and take advantage of the chances we get. We
are confident and will try to advance."
