May 28th at 3:00 am on May 29, Chelsea will play against Betis in the Europa League final. Before the game, Chelsea defender Rees James attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of himself and the team.

If the European Union wins the championship...

-Win the championship is of great significance to me and the club, and for many players, this will be their first trophy. There are a lot of young players who play a big role, so that means a lot. We hope this inspires us to continue to win trophys, and we haven’t won something for years. I hope this game will regain the feeling of winning the trophy and help players who haven’t won too many trophys so far.

About Jackson

- It's obvious that he made a mistake, but this season, he's crucial to us. As far as our game style is concerned, he plays a very important part. The mistake he made was over, we accepted that mistake and then put it down. Now everyone's eyes are focused on tomorrow.

Regarding the expectations for this game

- the level will be very high, we will face an excellent opponent, we will do our best to win.

Remarks about Maresca during the UEFA Europa League - his message has been clear from the first day - no match can be ignored and all efforts must be given. This is an important European battle. Look at tomorrow's finals, the opponent is a big club with a long history. This season, he (Maresca) has given us a lot of help and played an important role in our entry into the Europa League finals and ensuring the qualification of the Champions League.

About your physical state

—Absolutely the best, that's how I feel. This is the time I have played the most in two or three years. I am very happy to be back in the arena and continue to help the team. If I need to play tomorrow, I will be ready.

About Kessetdo

-I think he had difficulties before, but this season, both as a player and as a person, he has grown a lot. His English level has become better, which has helped. He is a key player for us and played every Premier League game, which shows how he has contributed to us.

About Captain

—Captains and leaders are acquired, not born. I was given this role at a very young age and went through a difficult period of injuries. My first season as captain was really tough, and I grew up a lot. The more I play, the more opportunities I have to help the team.

About the goal of this game

- Winning will be very helpful, that is our initial goal, and we can enjoy the victory after that.
