Dewsbury-Hall: I cherish every opportunity I get to play for Chelsea

With a goal from Dewsbury-Hall, Chelsea beat Copenhagen 1-0 in the second leg of the UEFA European Association League round of 16 in the 2024/25 season and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Dewsbury-Hall said that he cherishes every opportunity to play for the team and believes that the team can win the championship.

The score of this game changed in the 54th minute of the second half. Copenhagen made a mistake in passing the ball. Dewsbury-Hall took the ball and broke through the defense and shot, helping Chelsea take the lead 1-0.

In the end, Chelsea eliminated Copenhagen with a total score of 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and successfully obtained a ticket to the quarterfinals.

"Copenhagen were difficult to break through, and they stayed very compact, making it difficult for us to find space to break through," said the 26-year-old. "The first half was frustrating, but we made some adjustments after the break, mainly in terms of player positioning. We were significantly better in attack in the second half, had more opportunities, and were able to get into more ideal positions and spaces. Fortunately, we won the game in the end."

“I got the ball in space and tried to control it, then with a little bit of effort, the ball bounced right in front of me. I practice this shot almost every day after training, so it was really nice to score it in the game.”

Dewsbury-Hall continued: “Any player will say that playing in Europe, no matter what competition it is, is the best feeling in the world and I cherish every opportunity to play for Chelsea, especially at Stamford Bridge. I have scored some goals here and hope to continue to do so.”

"We respect every opponent and we are also aware of our team's strength and mentality. I think Copenhagen is one of the strongest opponents we have encountered and they really caused us a lot of trouble."

In addition, Chelsea will travel to challenge Legia Warsaw in the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals.

Dewsbury Hall said, "We still have three stages of competition to play from the championship. Now we will focus on the top eight and fight one game after another. I believe we can go all the way to the end."
