🗣 @Thibaut Courtois press conference ahead of the game against Chelsea: ⚪️ On Ancelotti's absence: "We are lucky his assistant is his son so it's very similar (laughs). We have a good staff and Carlo is helping through video calls. We are ready." ⚪️ On last year's clash against Chelsea: "This is a very different game from last season. There were no fans, it was the semifinal... and now we have the 2nd leg at home." ⚪️ On 3 penalties given against Celta: "When the referee gave Valencia 4 penalties against us I didn't listen to anyone say something about that." ⚪️ On the possibility of playing with 4 in the midfield: "It's the manager who decides. A fourth midfielder depends on how we want to play, if we want to press but as I said, the manager decides." ⚪️ On the importance of @Benzema: "We can't win the Champions League without Karim, he's our leader, he scores a lot. Benzema is very important and with him, it's easy to win this competition."
