The team indeed possesses quality players, but previous managers like Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard have struggled to elevate the Blues to new heights. Now, with Pochettino at the helm, Chelsea hopes for a fresh start and a renewed pursuit of success in the coming season.
Which brings us to the main central message of this article, below are 5 Chelsea players with a point to prove in the current pre-season.
1. Mykhalio Mudryk
With the appointment of a new manager who prefers to play with two wingers on opposite flanks, the Ukraine international player should have no excuses now. Todd Boehly’s decision to bring in this manager sets a clear direction for the team’s playing style and tactics. The player should feel well-suited to the system and have ample opportunities to showcase their skills and adapt to the new approach. With the manager’s support and a system that aligns with the player’s strengths, it’s time for the Ukraine international to make the most of this opportunity and excel on the pitch.
2. Levi Colwill
The England international, Levi Colwill, has attracted exciting interest from Brighton Hove Albion following an impressive loan spell with the Seagulls. However, Chelsea has turned down Brighton’s offer, indicating that they have plans for the talented player.
Having returned to Chelsea, Colwill now has a fantastic opportunity to prove himself at the club. With the guaranteed playing time at the US, he must make the most of this chance and showcase his abilities on the field. It’s a crucial moment for his career, and he should seize the opportunity to establish himself at Chelsea and demonstrate why he deserves a place in the squad.
3. Marc Cucurella
He turned out to be a huge disappointment for Chelsea last season
4. Raheem Sterling
Last season, there were high expectations that he would be the ideal leader for Chelsea’s team. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete nightmare to watch him perform. His performances on the field fell short of the anticipated leadership and impact, leaving fans disappointed and frustrated with his contributions. The season did not live up to the expectations placed upon him, and he struggled to fulfill the role that was hoped for within the team.
5. Romelu Lukaku
With transfer talks between Chelsea and Juventus underway, the future of the Belgian player at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain. If he stays at West London this summer, he will face the challenge of proving his worth to both Mauricio Pochettino, the manager, and the Chelsea fans.
Having experienced a disappointing season, he will need to step up his game and showcase his true potential to regain the confidence of the coaching staff and supporters. This will be a critical opportunity for him to demonstrate his abilities and make a positive impact on the team. The upcoming season could be a defining moment for the player, and he must seize it to show why he deserves to be a valuable asset to Chelsea.
