Chelsea’s midfielder and England international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 has gone on to claim that the Blues could potentially go on and win the Champions League for the second season running, given the way the team has been performing this season.
Over the twenty two year history of the competition, no side has gone on and won the title two seasons in a row, however, Lampard feels that Chelsea have what it takes to do just that.
The team went on to draw their opening match against Juventus, but strolled to a very easy four goals to nil win last night against FC Nordsjaelland.
When talking about his side’s chances of retaining the title, the midfielder is reported to have said: "It’s a huge ask, but there is obviously a chance because we're in it. We've got confidence from last year and we've adapted our style a little bit this
year and it’s coming together.”
"It’s a long competition, you have to qualify first then you have to regroup in February if you get that far. It's a long road, but we believe at the minute and we'll have to keep working hard to try and get it."
Despite Chelsea picking up the win last night, the veteran midfielder has gone on to admit that his side were rather worried till the final twenty minutes of the game. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international praised the Danish side for the way they performed and for the
fact that they contained http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 for so long.
"It’s a tough game here, we came here against a bit of an unknown but we knew they play very good football and we had to bide our time. We put the hard work in and wait for the goals to come at the end.”
The Blues will now be looking to build on this win, as they look to win their upcoming Premier League and Champions League games.
Despite the veteran midfielder’s claims, it is still too early to predict just who will win the competition. However, should Chelsea continue to play at their very best, they could easily come very close to retaining the title.
