Xabi Alonso on the importance of building the right culture at Chelsea

 “I think a strong culture is already in place. There’s an important core within the squad, and those established players have to help the younger ones understand what this club is about.”

“It starts with professionalism, work ethic and recognising that the team always comes first. Through our daily work, we can strengthen that culture, and whatever we build here at Cobham will be reflected at Stamford Bridge and everywhere we play. We’ll have the time to keep developing it.”
