http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo has gone on to claim that he wishes to win as many trophies as he possibly can this coming season, as he is looking to build on last season’s success.
Last season, Chelsea went on to do the unthinkable, as the team went on to win the UEFA Champions League for the very first time in the club’s history.
That win proved to be rather crucial for the team and the manager, as it helped Di Matteo get appointed by the Blues on a permanent basis.
However, the Champions League wasn’t the only trophy the team won last season, as they also went on to claim the FA Cup over the course of the previous term.
Considering how successful they were last season, the team is looking to build on that success and win some more trophies this coming season.
"There's plenty of trophies to win this season," Di Matteo told reporters.
"We have a very driven team of players and they are never satisfied with what they've done in the past.”
"It's a fresh start for us. It won't be a problem from that point of view.”
"There are a couple of trophies our players have never won, and challenging for the Premier League, too.”
Despite winning so many trophies, the team failed to finish the league in a decent position. They managed to end the season in the sixth spot and Di Matteo is not happy with that finish. The manager is now looking to improve on that finish and thinks that
the new players that the team signed will help them achieve a much better league finish.
The Italian continued: "We finished sixth last season and I don't think anybody is happy with that. We certainly have to do better.”
"There was a big gap last season, and that is one of our challenges this season, to bridge that gap.”
“Twenty-five points are a lot of points. It'll be a tough season ahead but we'll try and compete.”
Given the ambition shown by the Italian manager, it is going to be interesting to see just how the team performs this coming season.
