In the friendly match held early this morning, Chelsea beat Leverkusen 2-0. New aid Gittens came on as Chelsea's substitute in this game and accepted an interview with the media after the game.

"I talked to Palmer, and he told me to come to Chelsea, and he said that. I also talked to Lavia, and I knew him when I was at Manchester City, but I was not very familiar with him."

"And Drapp, who was with me before when he was at Manchester City, and I talked to most people I knew."

Regarding the coach's request for him, Gittens said: "He wants me to work hard to score goals and assists, play a role in the game, break through one-on-one on both sides, make the last kick and work hard."
