In Premier League Matchday 2, Chelsea defeated Brighton 4-3 at home. Following the match, João Pedro and Emiliano Martinez were interviewed together by Sky Sports.

João, Emi, congratulations. João, before we talk about the match, how much of a boost was it for you seeing him (Emiliano Martinez) walk into the training ground yesterday?

I think everyone knows his quality. He's here to help us, and everyone saw that today. Yes, he's a very special player, a special goalkeeper. I think he has everything needed to help us in every aspect of this season.

João, let's go back to the match. At one point you were 3-0 up, but the final score was 4-3. When you're 3-0 ahead, shouldn't you have secured the win right away? Did you make it difficult for yourselves?

Yes, I think today's match was very special for me. I think I helped my teammates, I fought until the final minute. Yes, getting these three points was a very, very important win for us.

How impressive was Chelsea's attacking play in the first 30 minutes? Especially the chemistry everyone's been talking about between your three strikers?

I think our three strikers have great chemistry with each other. We try to help one another, and everyone saw that today. When I'm not scoring, Cole (Palmer) or Moisés (Caicedo) will be there. So I think we need to enjoy the game. Yes, hopefully we can reach a very high level eventually.

João, we know a new manager has arrived—this is a new era for Chelsea, and there are high expectations. But how much can having a player like him help in the journey to bring success to Chelsea this season?

I think everyone knows he's won many trophies and won the World Cup. Now we're playing together, and he's a World Cup winner. I think he can help us, especially with his mentality—he's very strong in that area. Yes, it's great to have him in the team.

What kind of threat can Chelsea pose to opponents this season? Everyone's talking about Arsenal potentially retaining the title, but you have no European competition, and so far you've won three consecutive matches across all competitions. What role could Chelsea play, or what key role could Chelsea have in the title race?

I think we need to take it step by step, match by match. We don't need to think about winning the title now—it's too early to talk about titles. I think for now we need to rest and then focus on next weekend's match, because that will be very important for us. Hopefully we can pick up three more points.
