Chelsea’s Young Squad Lacks Experience – Chilwell

Chelsea defender, Ben Chilwell has come out to say that he believes his side’s slow start to the season is down to inexperience. He recently backed them to turn the situation around, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Chelsea currently has a new manager trying to bring the best out of a young and new squad, therefore mistakes must be expected this early in the season.

Chilwell added that it is down to the players to also learn to take responsibility while playing for the badge.

His words, “It is such a young and new squad. It’s inexperienced in a way. There’s a new manager trying to impart his ideas and it is down to me and Reece [James, captain] to take on responsibility and be leaders in the group and guide the ship a little bit,”

“Especially in the last few weeks in what could be seen as a bit of a tough time. I kind of just try to guide the ship through that, stay confident and know what talent we have in the squad. We are confident and also have a great manager. We are very aware [of what’s wrong] but confident we can turn it around very quickly.”

“What the manager has come in and done is brilliant. We have all bought into what he is trying to do at the club. With such a young, exciting squad. I think it will be a good future. With a bit more patience, we will come good.”
