Enzo Maresca must pin Carragher and Neville quotes in changing room Sunday

What now we have seen currently from Chelsea’s younger workforce is indicators of improved mentality and character.

The way in which all of them collectively celebrated the successful aim towards Manchester United on Friday evening, figuring out simply how large of a aim it was, was nice to see and in addition very reassuring.

As a workforce that’s younger and nonetheless uncooked and maturing, now we have not all the time seen this character and mentality all through the season and it’s been very inconsistent. Even when the chips have been down not too long ago, honing in on being 1-0 down towards Newcastle at half time, the persona they confirmed to come back out within the second half and really present up is admirable despite the fact that we misplaced the sport 2-0 ultimately.

We haven’t all the time seen that and actually, it’s solely one thing I’ve seen extra of not too long ago. We now have usually seen heads drop and gamers not standing tall and standing as much as be counted when issues are going unhealthy.

However now could be the time to point out that consistency in character and mentality, as a result of Sunday is your probability to safe enjoying Champions League soccer subsequent season, which is what each play desires, proper? Nicely, if you would like it that badly, exit onto that pitch on Sunday and show it. It’s your time.

That ought to be all of the motivation you could flip up towards Forest on Sunday and never only for half of the sport, for your entire 90+ minutes. You have to win your particular person battles, win your duels, combat for each sort out and get to the second ball. You have to dash, run all afternoon, and have the boldness to do one thing further or take a shot on. That’s how we win this recreation.

Forest are going to be absolutely up for it, the gang will likely be as effectively and they are going to be behind them. They are going to be bodily. And as an alternative of displaying a timid response to all of that such as you did within the first half of the Newcastle recreation, you could present inside and outer energy and be utterly motivated. Simply watch how Moises Caicedo approaches the sport and performs throughout it to see the very best instance of this.

In the event you do this, we win. It’s that easy to me.

And if Champions League soccer isn’t a sufficiently big motivation for you, then check out the feedback made by Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville this week and use that as your motivation. Show these fools mistaken!

Jamie Carragher mentioned:

“I believe Chelsea and Nottingham Forest may each miss out. I can see that being a draw on the weekend.,“I’m undecided Chelsea have gotten the character and persona to go there and win.”

And Gary Neville mentioned:

”They [Nottingham Forest] will give Chelsea a tricky day, 100%. I’m undecided Chelsea can go there and win, I’ll be actually trustworthy with you.

“I believe if Aston Villa win, they’ll get into the Champions League as a result of I believe Forest will take factors off Chelsea.”

Show them mistaken, lads. Present them that you just DO have that character and mentality when it issues essentially the most. Flip up for the 90 and depart all of it out on that pitch!
