AFPWHAT CUCRELLA SAID
Speaking to the media, Cucurella said, “I understand we have a responsibility because we play for a big club. When I played for more small clubs, not at this level, you don’t feel this [as much]. It’s part of the game, you play for Chelsea. A club that needs to win trophies.
“For me, we need to stay focused on what we need to do and prove. I always say it doesn’t matter if you win 10 or 11 games or five, the most important thing is the trophies at the end of the season. It’s time to show we are ready.”
Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
The Blues' best chance at winning a trophy this season is likely the Europa Conference League, as Maresca's side are already in the round of 16 and will now take on Copenhagen on Thursday, March 6, as they look to build confidence towards the end of the season.
