Jadon Sancho, the rising star of Chelsea, had a memorable performance in Sunday's match against Tottenham, scoring a crucial goal in their 4-3 victory. But despite their impressive start to the season, Sancho revealed that his team is keeping their feet on the ground and remaining humble amidst talks of them being potential contenders for the Premier League title.
Under the guidance of head coach Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has been in fantastic form this season, currently sitting in the second spot after 15 games. They are only two points behind the leaders, Liverpool, and have a four-point lead over Manchester City, who were initially considered as the main title challengers.
While many football experts have started to consider Chelsea as genuine contenders for the trophy, Maresca and his players have been quite reserved in their response and have not let the hype get to their heads. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Sancho echoed this sentiment, stating that their focus is on taking one game at a time.
"We are not getting ahead of ourselves," said Sancho, who is currently on loan from Manchester United. "Every game is tough, and there is still a long way to go in the season. We are happy with where we are, but we are not looking too far ahead. Our focus is on the next game."
When asked about the pressure of being considered title contenders, Sancho revealed that the players have been reminding each other to stay grounded and not get carried away. "We have not achieved anything yet," he added.
However, Sancho did acknowledge one advantage that Chelsea has this season, which is their participation in the UEFA Conference League. This competition has allowed Maresca to rotate his squad and keep his key players fresh and fit, which has been crucial in their impressive run of form.
"We have a strong squad, and we can rotate players whenever needed," said Sancho. "Having two or three players in every position has been vital, especially with the Premier League and Conference League games coming thick and fast. It is all about finding the right balance and giving players enough playing time."
With Chelsea's strong squad depth and their humble approach, they will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the title race. But for now, they are taking it one game at a time and not getting carried away with the talks of a potential Premier League triumph.
