The Chelsea left back is determined to break into the Blues’ first team squad in the upcoming Premier League season after impressing for Team Great Britain under Stuart Pearce at the London 2012 Olympics alongside veteran stars
such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985...
Chelsea’s young left back is now aspiring to break through into the club’s first team in the upcoming Premier League season after catching the eye under Stuart Pearce’s Team Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Bertrand
was a part of Team Great Britain’s football contingent that made it to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games but failed to win against South Korea.
Team GB lost out to the Koreans on a penalty shootout as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo will give him his
chance at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044.
Bertrand’s rise at Chelsea has been hampered by Ashley Cole’s wonderful form for the Blues as the veteran full back has hardly put a foot wrong during his time at the club but there is speculation now that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 man
might part ways with Chelsea over a wage dispute. Cole is currently in negotiations with Chelsea as far as a new contract at Stamford Bridge is concerned.
Bertrand said, "It's been a very good summer, playing in the Olympics was an amazing experience and now I'm looking forward to the season, which starts very soon. It was fantastic to learn from players who have had such good careers
like Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy.”
He added, “It really was a massive learning experience and the opportunity to experience another international setup after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 under 21s. Being at a home Olympics does give you that added incentive and to have so much support
from all the fans around the country was fantastic.”
Roberto Di Matteo will definitely want to test Ryan Bertrand’s capabilities at Chelsea but these tests will probably come in cup competitions such as Carling Cup and the F.A Cup rather than the English Premier League or the UEFA
Champions League.
