Chelsea interim coach Rafael Benitez has a created a doubts in the mind of the old players by saying new players are needed for them to continue winning.

The Londerners' joint-second top scorer of all time, Frank Lampard, looks unlikely to be offered a new deal with the 34-year-old's contract expiring at the end of the season, his agent said.
.
Media reports have also said another fan favourites Ashley Cole, and captain John Terry could also be sacrificed in the next 2 years after Chelsea showed they mean business by letting Champions League-winning hero Didier Drogba leave in May.
.
'' I think it's always easy to talk about the legends and you have to have a lot of respect for then '' Benitez told British newspaper ahead of Wednesday's Capital Cup semi final against Swansea City.
.
'' What they've achieved for this club has been fantastic, But you have to have new players and carry on winning games.That's what the fans are expecting ''.
That would be sad if it happens. I love all of them
