Dimusim 2008/2009 inilah awal debut Stoch bersama tim utama setelah
penampilan cemerlangnya di Reserve tea. Scolari memainkan Stoch
dipartai yg sangat penting sbg pemain pengganti yaitu melawan Arsenal
dimana Chelsea kalah 2-1 dan baru2 ini menang 2-1 atas Stoke city.
Dipenampilan terakhir inilah Stoch banyak mendapat pujian karena
berkat umpannya, Chelsea bisa memenangi game tersebut dengan
kemenangan dramatis

Chelsea yg cukup diandalkan sehingga Chelsea terus memunculkan

Berikut salah satu komentar Scolari setelah game melawan Stoke City
dimana Miroslav Stoch bermain cemerlang

Quote:

Luiz Felipe Scolari says the emergence of Miroslav Stoch has paved
the way for more youngsters to establish themselves in the Chelsea
first-team.

The 19-year-old Slovakian made his Chelsea debut as a late substitute
in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in November, but did not feature again
until Saturday's game against Stoke.

Stoch came on in the 82nd minute at the weekend as Chelsea trailed 1-
0, but they managed to claim an equaliser before the youngster's
cross led to Frank Lampard's injury-time winner.

And Scolari believes having that kind of impact will help the club's
young players to become an important part of the senior side.

"That was fantastic," he told the club's official website.

"Miroslav did very well twice and crossed, we scored and it was good
for us.

"It was good for the young players because the young players need an
opportunity, but whoever gets the opportunity needs to prove
themselves – not only for me, but for the people and the older
players.

"Next week maybe the players will believe more in the younger
players. There are good rewards and I will always give the young
players an opportunity. "
