To boost confidence, Rossene hopes Chelsea will go all out to score the first goal.


Chelsea, nicknamed the "Blues," will host Manchester United, nicknamed the "Red Devils," at Stamford Bridge in a key match of the 33rd round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Rossellini stated that to boost the players' confidence, he hopes the team will give their all to score the first goal in the match.


In the last round of matches, Chelsea held on until the second half but conceded two goals, ultimately suffering a 0-3 home defeat to Manchester City. After this third consecutive loss, Chelsea currently sits in 6th place in the league table with 48 points.


It is worth noting that the Premier League has once again secured five Champions League qualification spots this season, so Chelsea still has a chance to achieve their goal.


For Manchester United, Carrick's team lost 1-2 to newly promoted Manchester United in the last round of the Premier League and is currently third in the standings with 55 points. In the first leg of this season, Chelsea suffered a 1-2 defeat to Manchester United after goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was sent off and a goal was conceded, but Chalobah scored a goal in the second half.


Chelsea manager Rosénier said, "We played four games in nine days, which was a huge drain on the team in terms of both the level of play and the intensity of the games. If you look back at each game, the problem stemmed from a moment of lapse in concentration or a drop in focus, which then amplified and affected the entire game. For example, the mistakes against Newcastle or Paris Saint-Germain led to a decline in confidence."


"I hope to see the team actively strive for the first goal, rather than conceding the first goal. This will help the team build confidence and ultimately win the game."


Rosselli continued, "Against Manchester City, Cucurella might have been just an inch away from scoring the opening goal, and that would have completely changed the rhythm of the game and the team's momentum. We're not as bad as we think, but we must do better in the details of the game."


In addition, when discussing the condition of Gitens and Philipp Jorgensen, Rosselli said, "I can't give a definite answer right now. Gitens is responding well to his recent injury recovery, but we have to make sure it's the right decision in the long run, and the same goes for Philipp Jorgensen."
