Andreas Christensen in action for Chelsea against Aston Villa in the Premier League (GETTY Images)
According to the Mirror, Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen has sounded out a warning to the club’s Premier League rivals as the Blues surge up the table.
Chelsea looked to be in free fall just last month. However, the appointment of Thomas Tuchel has reinvigorated the squad and breathed new life into the team.
The Blues are unbeaten under the German and are now well in the mix for a top-four finish.
A title challenge appears to be out of the question. The minimum would be for us to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Thankfully, our recent form has put the chances of doing just that in our own hands.
“Now we are in the top four, we obviously want to stay there, and make sure we play Champions League again.”
Christensen had fallen down the pecking order under Frank Lampard. Tuchel, meanwhile, gave all players a clean slate and the Dane has been one of the players to benefit from that.
The German manager appears to have calmed down the team who looked more settled than they have done in recent months. Tuchel had a job on his hands to save the season and he has so far done splendidly.
“He has basically told us to be comfortable. To believe in ourselves.”
Chelsea are still far from their best. But they have made it a habit of eking out results even when the performances have not been top-notch. In time, the performances on the pitch will also match the results we seek.
“At the moment we are getting the wins. We might not play beautiful football for 90 minutes, but we are getting there.”
At the end of the day every point matters and the Blues have continually added to their tally under Tuchel.
There is still some way to go and the Blues will face a formidable challenge to keep hold of their recent gains. With fresh confidence and belief, the resurgent Chelsea side will not be an easy team to overcome.
