00:00He's in a very good mood. He's doing very well. I think he played very good against
00:06Aston Villa again tonight. We know how important he is for us. He's our captain. He's a fantastic
00:14player. But we all know that the most important thing with Rhys is that we need him fit. So
00:20you can ask Rhys. When I signed with Chelsea, probably the day after, I sent him a video
00:29about seeing him as a midfielder. So I see Rhys as a midfielder, not now, since day one.
00:37I sent him, as I said, before I met him for the first time, he was on holiday. I sent
00:43him a clip about him, how he can play midfielder. So I imagine Rhys playing midfielder a long
00:48time ago. He's playing now. But the good thing about him is that he played this year already
00:53full-back, already central defender. He played in a different position. But the main target
00:57for us is to help him to be fit all season.
