After defeating Lincoln City 2-1, Chelsea defender Gusto said in an interview with the BBC that it would be difficult for the team to get into the form in the first half.

About this match

-It was a tough game, and we knew that before we came here, they often used set pieces and tried to suppress their opponents. It was difficult for us to get into the state in the first half, but the situation in the second half was much better because we were more energetic and more fighting spirit. We were constantly fighting in the second half, and I think that's why we won and I'm happy to advance to the next round.

The attitude towards Lincoln City

-The way they play I have never seen in my life, but that's their strength, they try hard to win the game. So we have to deal with it, I think we were doing pretty well today.

Midfielder Remarks on Maresca

—This game is more about fighting. They are taller overall than us, but we have to fight. If they are higher, we have to show that we are more eager to win, and that's why we're better in the second half.

About the ups and downs at the beginning of the season

- The previous two games were quite tough for us, but today was good for us, we returned to the road to victory and continued to build confidence. In the next game against Brighton, we will be more confident and more fighting spirit.
