Petr Cech believes the current Chelsea squad can become one of the greatest in the club’s history.
Jose Mourinho’s side sit top of the Premier League table with 39 points from 16 matches and having lost just one game against Newcastle United earlier in December.
Tuesday’s 3-1 League Cup win over Derby County sees the Blues reach the semi-finals of the competition, where they will meet Liverpool for a place at Wembley.
Cech, who has featured heavily in the cup competition, but has played second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois in the Premier League, has told of his ambitions for the team this season – saying they could be one of the best in history.
“This team has the potential and the quality to become one of the best teams in Chelsea’s history if it proves it by winning the trophies,” the 32-year-old told reporters.
“But I keep saying you can only judge teams at the end of the season when you see how much the team achieve.
“In this moment, we have been doing remarkably well but we have no trophy in our hands. So let’s see what’s going to be the case at the end of the season.
“We want to win as many games as possible, as many competitions as possible, then let’s see what it’s going to bring us.
“It is difficult to know how many of them you can actually manage to win.
“You cannot say, ‘We leave this competition, we chase that competition’ because in the competition you pick you have one unlucky game and you have nothing. So you can’t treat competitions like that.
“We progressed in the Champions League, our aim, we’ve progressed in the League Cup, we are top of the league, so far we are doing well.”
