Ahead of Chelsea's clash with Brentford, Lavia sat down for an official interview with the club, discussing his expectations for the season and how he's handling the pressure.

Expectations for the Season

"This season feels very different because my mindset and mental state have changed. Throughout the summer, everyone at the club worked hard to ensure I could leave everything that happened behind. So far, everything has gone well. I'm very happy, and I hope this continues."

"Playing under the lights at the weekend is just the final step of the entire plan; there's a lot of work going on behind the scenes, and you need to constantly analyze all aspects to ensure everything is ready before the weekend match. It's a big process, but we're progressing well at the moment."

"I understand that you can always push beyond your imagination. You can always push past your limits, especially when it feels like everything is against you. It's always easy to give up, or to feel that no matter what you do, you'll end up back where you started."

"Fortunately, with the help of my teammates, staff, everyone inside and outside the club, and the people around me, we've created a 'bubble' where you just focus on what you can control, and then everything will be fine."

"Since I joined the team, things have been quite turbulent, which is a bit frustrating, but the reason I'm looking forward to the future is that I can feel the love from my teammates, whether in training or in matches. I feel they trust me, which gives me the confidence to express myself without thinking about what's happened. This has really helped me."

In the 4-3 victory over Brighton at Stamford Bridge, you scored a goal that sparked an emotional celebration from the whole team, with players rushing to congratulate you in front of the home fans.

"Honestly, when the ball went in, I couldn't believe it because it had been a long time since I last scored. I hadn't felt that sensation in a while, but looking back now, it was really special. After the goal, my teammates immediately rushed over to embrace me. It was truly a beautiful moment."

"In that moment, I felt incredibly free, as if all my efforts had been rewarded. It was a beautiful moment but also very emotional, so I really wanted to share this feeling with the fans as much as possible, and I really loved it."

"Especially because I wanted to change people's perception. My first Premier League goal was against Chelsea, so I always felt a bit odd about that. I've seen my teammates score at Stamford Bridge and felt the atmosphere, so I was always waiting for my turn. When that moment came, I felt incredibly happy and excited."

Of course, your return to the pitch has made your teammates, the fans, and Pochettino extremely happy, and you've been playing as if there's no pressure at all.

"A sense of responsibility has always been part of my playing style. I take responsibility, I show leadership, and I really enjoy my current position and being at this club, bearing this responsibility. It's not even pressure, but rather an honor. So I'm really living out a dream. It's like: 'Alright, this is what you've trained for all these years, so enjoy it.'"
