Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has revealed that winning the Premier League title this season is a HUGE thing for the club.
The Blues picked up their first title on Sunday after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Wembley in the League Cup final, whilst they remain on top of the Premier League by five points and are still in the Champions League.
Chelsea’s midweek clash with West Ham United will see them attempt to push even further ahead of second placed Manchester City and defender Cahill has spoken about the desire and hunger to be crowned champions this season.
“The league is absolutely huge for us,” Cahill is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard. “We have been working every day toward that goal and we have put ourselves in a really good position. We need to keep pushing. The expectation level while I have been here is not just to compete, but to win something at the end of every season.
“Fortunately I have been able to do that at Chelsea, apart from last year. But that just made the hunger, both individually and collectively, to win something even more when we reported back for pre-season in the summer. The expectation level at Chelsea breeds that, especially in my case.
“When you have come from nothing to winning things, the feeling is absolutely amazing, It’s something you want to keep doing and doing. You can see the squad is stronger now and we have one trophy in the bag already.
“We have gone back to training after the Cup win and the manager has switched us straight back on to the league and how important that is. The League Cup was a competition I have not won before and so it felt fantastic. Now I want the same for the Premier League.”
