Xabi Alonso reveals half-time team talk as Chelsea beat Man Utd 2-0

There were different moments in the game. The first half was intense. There was momentum for both sides. United had their chances. We were close as well. So at half-time we had spoken and the reaction from Sevilla was better. We started quite well. We got the lead. We looked in better control. And after, with 2-0 and the red card, the context of the game changed. But, you know, it has not been easy. No, we have spoken half-time that we're going to win this game with the ball. So the improvement has been with the ball. The message has been to be better with the ball, not to give away that match, to change some things tactical. But we were more comfortable on the pitch. We looked better controlled. And that's when you feel better with the ball. Normally, you are better for defending as well. So I think that reaction, that change, has been important for the goal and for the feeling as well.
