Chelsea have looked a different side under Thomas Tuchel, and Marcos Alonso has backed his side to keep up with their good form of late.
Marcos Alonso has called on his Chelsea teammates to keep up their new-found momentum under Thomas Tuchel.
Since the German manager took over from Frank Lampard, the Blues are unbeaten in 11 games, winning eight and drawing the remaining three.
In that time, Chelsea have won against Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, and Everton, keeping clean sheets in all of those games.
Their most recent outing saw Tuchel set a Premier League record after yet another clean-sheet against Everton.
Chelsea have a tricky tie against Leeds at the weekend, and Alonso has called on his side to build on their recent performances.
He said to the club’s website: “We are in a good position now but we have to keep winning games, and the only way to do that is to keep working hard,’ said the Spaniard.”
“We are training well, working hard, but we need to take advantage of this momentum now and try to keep winning games and get closer to the top.”
“Now we have another tough game on Saturday at Leeds. We just need to focus on having a good recovery and then be ready for that one.”
Alonso starred in the game against Everton and showed his usual offensive side. The Spaniard made the cross that eventually led to the Blues’ opener.
Speaking on his attacking threat, he added: “It is not easy to go through the middle, so I like to do these runs from wide to inside”.
“I’m happy I got the assist and I am a little bit disappointed with that chance. I was close to scoring but I have to keep working and hopefully the next one will go in.”
“When you are controlling the game like we did it gives you a little bit more freedom, but all we need to get together and defend well. That’s what we aim for, and that’s how it has to be to keep improving in the right way.”
