Cucurella says Chelsea need to ‘keep working and be ambitious’

Marc Cucurella joined Spain for the Nations League matches against Denmark and Switzerland. The Chelsea defender in an interview before leaving London said he was proud of his performances this season, but knows the Blues must continue to improve to take the next step towards achieving the team's goals.
"We finish now in the top four before the international break, so I think we are starting to do things well. It’s early and we still have a lot of games to play, but we need to be proud of the job we’ve been doing and keep working hard because the league is long and we want to stay at the top," said the left-back.
The Spanish international said that with a new coach and a different style of play the players need a period of adaptation. "We started a new project with a new manager and new ideas only a few months ago, so we need to be proud of the performance. We need to keep going at this level. If we play hard and train hard I think we can do good things this season.
"We have top players and a top young squad with a lot of ambition. For sure it’s early, so we have a lot of things to improve. Going into the international break third signifies that we are doing things well but we cannot relax. We need to keep working and be ambitious. We have the talent but we need to show on the pitch every week that we deserve to stay in the top four," added Cucurella.
