​Mount explains how his game has evolved from Chelsea academy to first-team | OneFootball

Chelsea star Mason Mount believes it is best for him to focus on improving his game for the team.

While Mount is a youngster growing up in the social media age, he prefers to let his football do the talking.

Rather than worry about what is being said about him - positive or negative - he listens to his manager and coaches.

His focus is on adding elements to his game so he can become a better player for Chelsea.

"I think that's the big focus of mine, what I do on the pitch," Mount told reporters.

"I haven't really looked too much into the social media side. With the fans not in the stadiums a lot of people have got a lot of things to say on social media or watching the game. I try to stay off it, even if we've won the game, it doesn't really matter to me.

"I know the focus of my performances and the team's performances are on the pitch, and we've got to do what we have to do on the pitch. The focus is what we do on it and trying to get the three points every game.

"Maybe when I was in the Academy I did a little flick here and there and a little step-over, but as you get older I learned in the Championship, that was my first kind of experience of it, they don't always come off and players that are experienced are going to read that. They know what you're going to do.

"Then coming into the Premier League and back to Chelsea, being quick on the ball, knowing what you've got to do before the ball comes to you, is the most important thing.

"As a midfielder you're always going to have that pressure in there to move the ball quickly. We're playing in the Champions League and playing in the Premier League, the best league in the world, so the ball needs to move quicker than you do and I definitely learned that, especially last season.

"So I'm just trying to evolve my game to be quick, to know what I've got to do when the ball comes to me, and that's definitely something I've learned over the last couple of years."
