**Kurt Zouma: “I Want to Keep My Place at Chelsea”**
Kurt Zouma, now a regular in Chelsea’s defense, is determined to maintain his spot in the starting eleven. Speaking on *Téléfoot*, the French defender expressed his commitment to improving and working hard for his place in the team.
“I want to keep playing, keep my place. You have to work hard for that,” Zouma said. “It’s the club I’ve always dreamed of. Mourinho? When he’s not happy, he shouts a lot. He taught me a lot. He doesn’t like losing and expects a lot from me. I try to give him the same in return.”
Zouma also shared his admiration for Chelsea’s manager, José Mourinho, whom he believes is the best coach in the world. Reflecting on Mourinho’s guidance, he recalled a conversation about Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane. “Last year, he talked to me a lot about Raph (Varane). He told me I was making the same mistakes as Raph. For me, he is the best coach in the world,” Zouma added.
