“It is not easy, because don't forget that, this season, some players (who have left) have been very important for this team.
“They brought a lot of history to this club and I'm talking about (Branislav) Ivanovic, (John Obi) Mikel and, next season, also John (Terry).
“It's not easy to find the right replacement
and it's for this reason that I continue to speak about how we have to build something important, to replace players that have been here for many years.
“They achieved a lot of great results for this club.
“Now we have to find, together, the new players to replace these great players and write the history for this great club and I hope everyone understands this,” he said.
