Reece James says team's goal is to win the UEFA Europa League

Chelsea beat Juergenspor 1-0 in the second leg of the UEFA League semi-finals, advancing with a total score of 5-1 and successfully advancing to the UEFA League final this season.

The match not only consolidated Chelsea's strong performance in this tournament, but also marked an important milestone for the return of captain Reece James. After the game, James was interviewed and expressed the team's desire for the championship: "We are very happy."

"It's another final, but this is something we expected before the game. We're not just here to get to the final, we're looking to win this tournament. It would be a huge achievement to lift the trophy."

This victory is not only a breakthrough for the team, but also of great significance to James personally. After being plagued by injuries, he finally ushered in a healthy period of time this season. James said: "I am enjoying my current state."

"I've been recovering from injuries for the past two or three years, and this is the longest stretch of continuous fitness I've ever had. I'm just happy to be able to play regularly and contribute to the team."

“We are heading in the right direction and are now fighting for European qualification for next season. The competition in the standings is tight but I have no doubt we can do it. The win against Liverpool is a positive sign and hopefully we can keep the momentum going and finish strongly.”

As the captain of Chelsea's youth training team, James also encouraged the new generation of players: "It gives me a sense of accomplishment to help young players grow. They have extraordinary talents, which is why they are here. I will do my best to support them when I can help."
