It’s been an utter nightmare supporting Chelsea in recent weeks. One of the very few positives (and you really have to squint for it) is Jorrel Hato, who has got better as the season has gone on, and under Liam Rosenior climbed to starting centre back while Trevoh Chalobah was out injured.
He spoke to the club’s official website about the FA Cup game today and how much it means to him, and what he expects from the fans.
Hato on Wembley experience and the potential atmosphere
“Now it’s a special one. It’s a semi-final in the FA Cup at Wembley, so I expect the same from the fans, like they have done the whole season.
“It’s crazy to imagine, we played at the Allianz Arena with 70,000 fans [against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League], and now we play in a stadium with 20,000 more.
“As a footballer, you can only get excited for these games and for those people you play for. So for me as well, I’m getting excited for it.”
