Cesc Fabregas gives his thoughts on what Chelsea has to accomplish to win the Premier League next year
Cesc Fabregas thinks that with the proper manager at the helm, Chelsea can turn things around for the next season. The midfielder reflected on his experience with the club in a similar position in 2015, when they eventually won the championship the following season under Antonio Conte.
He said: “Six years ago we had a really bad season with Chèlsea. Jose Mourinho left, Guus Hiddink came. He started to play younger players; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Andreas Christensen, Tammy Abraham to give them experience for next year. I remember in April, they signed Antonio Conte.”
He added: “He came to the training ground and talked to each of us personally. He then planned what he wanted to do with us to start over, and we beat Guardiola, Klopp, and Mourinho to win the Premier League. That can happen. I went through this six years ago. If you hire a person with knowledge, good character, clear ideas, and a willingness to work hard.”
