2 Chelsea players give their honest verdict about title race
Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer were both asked about the title race after yesterday’s loss. Both the players had similar view as their manager. They are focused on what is in front of them more than the title race.
“I really don’t understand this question. If the coach says that we are not in the title race, it’s because it’s like that” – Fernandez defending his manager.
Later, the Argentine added that they are training and playing to defend the club. He ended by saying they hope to end the season as high as possible. Palmer also shared similar views as Fernandez.
“Everyone said from the start we aren’t title contenders. We are just learning. It’s the first year under new coach, let us work on that” – Palmer on title race as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea fans are very happy with Enzo Maresca and the club’s performances. They are backing the Italian and his views. If we look at the past few seasons, the Blues have improved on a vast extent. They are very likely to make an UCL return.
