Or, put in another way, how to turn the heat down fast enough so the soup won't boil over!”

“Ten years ago I also had a very difficult decision to make when we had (Carlo) Cudicini giving fantastic performances in Chelseaâ€™s goal for many years. I had in my hands a 22-year-old goalkeeper I thought could be in Chelseaâ€™s goals for years and years and years and this situation is quite similar.”
