In typical fashion, Chelsea’s season has been very up and down. The Blues started so strong that a collapse in the winter felt unexpected, but they’ve now managed to string some results together and have reached this exceptionally long international break with a chance to right the ship.
While they’re out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, they are still in the UEFA Europa Conference League, and that brings their biggest chance of silverware this season. Every team left in the competition operates on a fraction of the budget of the Blues, and there should be no excuses for coming home empty handed.
Legendary club captain John Terry agrees:
“We’re certainly the best team in it. In our games, we’ve played 50 per cent of what we can and still come out on top. I’d like to think the bigger the game the better the players will get,” the former Blue said in an interview with the Evening Standard.
