'It's heading somewhere but we need to show it on the pitch in the end,' Kovacic says about the foundations that have been laid over the past 12 months in west London. 'We need to win titles because if you don't win titles then it's not so good. Chelsea are doing great things, making great signings and showing great faith in our coach, which is really important for him and for us as well.' Kovacic is no stranger to being among the end-of-season honours, having won eight major trophies in the Spanish capital and five more back in his homeland with Dinamo Zagreb. The 26-year-old relishes performing on the big stage and is eager to return to Wembley to add another medal to his growing personal collection. 'It will be really nice to be in another final,' he continues. 'The most beautiful thing in football is to play finals and then to win them. Chelsea is used to winning titles so we will do everything we can to play a good match in the FA Cup final and then let's see what happens.' https://i.imgur.com/wnRvR2E.jpg Kovacic was a Europa League winner with the Blues last season, helping us beat tomorrow's opponents Arsenal in the final Only five outfielders have played more Premier League minutes than Kovacic this season, highlighting his importance to the team in midfield, where he has been a key cog in harnessing the progressive football at the heart of Lampard's style of play. While he admits he wants to add more goals and assists to his game, our number 17 has been pleased with his contribution in SW6 in his first campaign as a permanent Chelsea player. 'I'm happy with my performances,' he adds. 'I think I've had a good season and I've settled well in my second year. Obviously I'm missing the statistics, which is the thing lacking in my game at the moment, but I'm improving on that as well. https://i.imgur.com/NuTrFmX.jpg Mateo in action against the Gunners earlier in the season 'I feel great here, so happy and honoured to be at this great club. Now I need to pay it back on the pitch, to be better and better every season, and hopefully next season is even better for us than this one.' The more immediate focus is on Arsenal, the same opponents we defeated in Baku last May to claim silverware. Kovacic will be hoping for more of the same on the north side of the capital tomorrow evening as the Blues look to end this drawn-out campaign with Cup glory. -- 当我漫游在斯坦弗森林时，我看见了雀尔西，米尔斯的女儿，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一处林地空间上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的记忆都离开了我，我像落入迷离 幻境中一般，因为雀尔西是伊露维塔儿女中最美的一位。她身上那袭蓝色的衣裳宛如 万里无云的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星闪烁的天空；她的斗篷上绣着金色的花 朵，她的头发漆黑如暮色中的阴影。她的荣光与美好，就像树叶上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是这迷离世界上方闪烁的繁星；她脸上有闪亮的光辉。 --
