The 20-year-old has made five substitute appearances already this term and, while he awaits a first start for the Blues, a Champions League debut and frequent match action are signs of progress being made. 'However long it is, I try to give my all to the team, the club and the fans,' Broja says. 'Every time I do come on the pitch, I just focus on how I can help. If I can score, get an assist or just use my work-rate to hunt the ball down, I want to help the team as much as possible. https://i.imgur.com/xUif3tM.jpg 'I've always been a confident boy so it's important for me to keep that and remain confident. I feel like I can help the team a lot so I'll keep doing my best on and off the pitch in every way I can.' The new substitution rule permitting five changes in the Premier League has increased the possibility of involvement for players like Broja, who are pushing to establish themselves as regulars in the team. He believes the secret to success off the bench is to always expect the call and to be ready to make an impact regardless of the match situation. 'You know if you're on the bench that you now have more opportunities so everybody is preparing themselves mentally and physically to come on,' he explained. https://i.imgur.com/kwiqn7n.jpg Broja made his first appearance of the season at Everton 'That can happen at any point, whether it's in the last minute or half-time, whenever you're needed depending on how the game is going. It's about being ready, expecting it and staying focused.' The Albanian international enjoyed a productive Premier League campaign on loan at Southampton last term. However, despite the talk of there being other suitors for his services this summer, his mind was set on breaking through at the Bridge, a dream he has harboured for many years and which feels almost within his grasp. 'I was just focusing on myself and trying to get fit because I did injure myself a little bit in America,' he said of pre-season. 'You see the speculation but my full focus was always to be here and focus on Chelsea. 'This is one of the best clubs in the world and there's no better feeling to be playing for my boyhood club, the club I've supported my whole life. https://i.imgur.com/LjhnPU8.jpg Two months after his 18th birthday, Broja notched a hat-trick in an FA Youth Cup win over Huddersfield. 'Everywhere you go in football, there's competition and that's just normal. For me, it's just about being focused, keeping my head down and working hard. Hopefully that leads to many more opportunities but I'm thankful for those I've had so far. 'Chelsea have put their faith in me since I was a young player. They've always taught me to be resilient and a hard worker and always focus on football. Chelsea have taught me a lot, how to be a man and a good person, so I just want to repay their faith in me with my performances on the pitch, by scoring goals and winning matches. We trust each other and that's the bond you have. It's like a family.' While Broja was not among the movers this summer, the deadline day arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang has added to the striking options, yet there is nothing but positivity in the forward's assessment of the situation as he views the new signing as a source of inspiration rather than a rival for minutes. 'He's a great player who has done a lot in his career so far and now he's come to Chelsea I can learn a lot from him,' he added on Aubameyang. 'He's done it at Arsenal and at Barcelona so he's a good addition and he seems like a very good guy. https://i.imgur.com/DqdIYfO.jpg Aubameyang joined Chelsea on transfer deadline day 'I'm excited to learn from him and a few things he has learned over the years. It's always good to have that competition in the team.' -- 當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離 幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如 萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花 朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。 --
