Chelsea captain Rhys James has stated that his team’s goal next season should be to qualify for the Champions League.
Having accelerated dramatically in recent weeks, Chelsea have risen to seventh place in the Premier League, but a ticket to the Europa League is the maximum the Blues can count on this season.
James feels that the status of his club obliges Chelsea to strive for higher positions, and Rees, who returned to the football field after five months in the infirmary, hopes to achieve this with the further development of the team.
“We study every day. We are still young and we had some bad days during the season, but overall we have improved and we are finishing the season strongly.”
“Europe is one of the highest levels in club football, and we are one of the largest clubs in club football, so we want to qualify for the Champions League every season. That’s the goal,” James told Chelsea TV.
