Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has revealed that he wants to win a piece of silverware this season but has played down his side’s chances of winning the Europa League.
The Blues are gearing up for their second match of the group stages against Videoton at Stamford Bridge after winning their opening match 1-0 against PAOK.
Chelsea have started the season in fine fashion and boast an undefeated record in all competitions this season.
As reported on FourFourTwo, Sarri admitted that he wants his side to win a trophy this season but wasn’t sure if the Europa League would be the one. He said:
I don’t know. The Europa League is a very unusual competition. At the moment, we don’t know the names of all the opponents. In the second round will arrive eight teams from the Champions League. It’s very difficult.
I am here to win, I want to win, I want to win something. I hope to be able to do it. Of course, [on Thursday] we need to change some players because we have spent a lot of mental energy and physical energy in two matches against Liverpool.
Then, after this match, we have to play a game in 60, 62 hours. I don’t know how many we have to change, but we have to change. In the Europa League, especially in England, we have only 60, 64 hours, so it’s more difficult.
The Blues also look set to mount a title challenge in the league this season along with Liverpool and Manchester City, with only goal difference separating the three sides at the moment.
