Levi Colwill is full of pride making his Premier League debut with Chelsea.
The defender impressed in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
"This is everything I've worked for my whole life, my whole career," Colwill told chelseafc.com.
"From being a little boy watching the games, it has been amazing. It is a blessing to be able to come here, especially to play against such a good team like Liverpool.
"When you hear all the fans going crazy it is the best feeling ever. From being a little kid and being part of the fans and shouting and then being on the pitch and listening to it, it felt amazing."
On hopes for the season, he also said: "What can't we do? It is as simple as that. Everyone needs to believe in that. We all need confidence to go into every game thinking we can win, and we will see at the end of the season what happens.
"We've got young, hungry players. Everyone has a point to prove. With all the players we've got who can make a difference, who can score, and players who do well at the other end of the pitch, I think it will be a good mix and an exciting season."
