What we have now seen currently from Chelsea’s younger staff is indicators of improved mentality and character.
The way in which all of them collectively celebrated the profitable aim in opposition to Manchester United on Friday evening, figuring out simply how enormous of a aim it was, was nice to see and in addition very reassuring.
As a staff that’s younger and nonetheless uncooked and maturing, we have now not all the time seen this character and mentality all through the season and it’s been very inconsistent. Even when the chips have been down lately, honing in on being 1-0 down in opposition to Newcastle at half time, the character they confirmed to come back out within the second half and truly present up is admirable despite the fact that we misplaced the sport 2-0 ultimately.
We haven’t all the time seen that and actually, it’s solely one thing I’ve seen extra of lately. We now have typically seen heads drop and gamers not standing tall and standing as much as be counted when issues are going unhealthy.
However now could be the time to indicate that consistency in character and mentality, as a result of Sunday is your likelihood to safe taking part in Champions League soccer subsequent season, which is what each play needs, proper? Effectively, if you’d like it that badly, exit onto that pitch on Sunday and show it. It’s your time.
That needs to be all of the motivation you might want to flip up in opposition to Forest on Sunday and never only for half of the sport, for your complete 90+ minutes. You could win your particular person battles, win your duels, combat for each deal with and get to the second ball. You could dash, run all afternoon, and have the boldness to do one thing additional or take a shot on. That’s how we win this sport.
Forest are going to be absolutely up for it, the group will likely be as nicely and they are going to be behind them. They are going to be bodily. And as an alternative of displaying a timid response to all of that such as you did within the first half of the Newcastle sport, you might want to present internal and outer energy and be utterly motivated. Simply watch how Moises Caicedo approaches the sport and performs throughout it to see the very best instance of this.
In case you do this, we win. It’s that straightforward to me.
And if Champions League soccer isn’t a sufficiently big motivation for you, then check out the feedback made by Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville this week and use that as your motivation. Show these fools mistaken!
Jamie Carragher stated:
“I feel Chelsea and Nottingham Forest may each miss out. I can see that being a draw on the weekend.,“I’m unsure Chelsea have gotten the character and character to go there and win.”
And Gary Neville stated:
”They [Nottingham Forest] will give Chelsea a troublesome day, 100%. I’m unsure Chelsea can go there and win, I’ll be actually trustworthy with you.
“I feel if Aston Villa win, they’ll get into the Champions League as a result of I feel Forest will take factors off Chelsea.”
Show them mistaken, lads. Present them that you just DO have that character and mentality when it issues essentially the most. Flip up for the 90 and go away all of it out on that pitch!
