Chelsea defender, Cesar Azpilicueta has come out to say that the club can challenge for trophies under Thomas Tuchel. The win vs Burnley recently took the Blues to 7th in the EPL, and the Chelsea captain is sure that the players will soon be fighting for silverware.
According to him, the victory on Sunday is the expected level for Chelsea because the club should always win such matches.
He added that Chelsea created chances and were solid at the back during the game, and he wants more of that against Tottenham on Thursday.
His words, “Chelsea should always win, that’s our DNA, we always play to win,”
“Chelsea deserves to be fighting for everything. We are far from where we want [to be], but with the new manager we have everything to play for.
“Everyone is very ambitious, we want to give everything to get as far as possible in every competition, so let’s keep working and Thursday, we are focused on an important game.”
“I think our last game against Wolves we deserved to win. Today we were struggling again to score goals.
“But it was a very good performance. We created chances and were solid at the back. We didn’t concede a shot, it was a solid performance.”
On his goal vs Burnley, “I saw the opportunity in front to run. Callum did very well and created the space for me. When I arrived I did not have time to think, I just hit it,”
“It’s been over a year since I last scored. I’m not used to it. But I’m just happy to get the win.”
“[Alonso] has shown his quality in the box. We know what he can give the team. Everybody in the squad is important, we all start from zero with the new manager.”
