Chelsea TV exclusive: Holland looks ahead

Sat 19 Dec 2015


Assistant first team coach Steve Holland spoke to Chelsea TV on Friday
afternoon about the build-up to today's match.


Having overseen training following the departure of Jose Mourinho, he
reported on that session and considered the task of taking on Sunderland…


˙ Steve, how well have the players reacted after what has been a very
emotional 24 hours?


'They have reacted totally professionally as we would have expected. It
really is a case now of what has happened has happened, we can't affect
that, we have to look forward and we have an important game, a game we
have to do everything possible to try to win.'


˙ It is a very tightly knit group of players here at Chelsea. How
important is that at a time like this?


'It is always important. When the manager changes it is a reflection of a
bad period, a period that I am sure everybody, players and staff, take
responsibility over. It is a collective thing, whether you are a coach or
a player.


'You have to have some responsibility in your life, whether it is in
association with something that is positive in your life or whether it is
something negative. I think they accept their responsibility and will be
determined to do something about it.'


˙ We are approaching another very busy period, the festive period, how
important is it that everyone now focuses on the football?


'We are in trouble, we can talk around it or deal with the reality. We are
in December and we are one point above the line of relegation, so we are
in trouble and there is no alternative, everybody has to focus on giving
their total commitment to the club moving forwards and first and foremost
to our game against Sunderland. We have to be ready with everybody pulling
in the same direction to try and move the club up the league which is what
I am sure everybody wants.'


˙ Sunderland are fighting for their lives. What are you expecting from
Sam Allardyce and his team?


'Sam is a guy I have great respect for and I have known him for a long
time. When I worked in the north-west he was at Bolton Wanderers and his
teams are always very competitive and difficult to beat. He prides himself
in the defensive organisation of the team and clean sheets, so it will be
a game where we have to play well to break them down but they are also a
team that have a threat in counter attack and we will need to be always
well-balanced and with high concentration, because they are a team that
also has a threat. They are obviously not doing well, they are down at the
bottom but they have picked up a little bit since Sam has arrived albeit
they lost their home game last week. We are expecting nothing other than a
difficult game. In this league every game is difficult.'


˙ How key is it that we are looking at back-to-back home games?


'It is good to be at home. Our supporters have been really fantastic. I
think our away support is second to none in the country in terms of
numbers and the support that they give the team but our home support has
been really exceptional in recent games as well, better than normal and
that is not a criticism of normal, and we need everybody onside for this
game. We are all part of the same club and we all want the same objective
and we need to all be pulling in the same direction to hopefully get the
result everybody wants.'
