Chelsea have comfortably won the Premier League title under the management of Jose Mourinho.
Once again, one of the main reasons behind their success is the defense. Although, that defense did cost them in the Champions League but in Pl, Blues have been rock solid at the back.
Spanish international Cesar Azpilicueta has been one of the important members in the defense since the past few years and he was pivotal in Chelsea’s title winning campaign.
The former Osasuna full back is a versatile star as he is mainly a right full back. However, in Ivanovic’s presence on the right, Mourinho turned him into a left back and the 25 year old has been one of the best in the league in that position.
Azpilicueta is delighted after winning his first Premier League winners’ medal and has confirmed that he wants to be with Chelsea for years.
Cesar stated:
“I do not think about anything other than staying at Chelsea,” “I do not think about Spain. I’m in the best team in England.”
“At Chelsea, we have perhaps one of the future top players of the world in Eden Hazard. This year he had a great season; he deserved to be the best player in the Premier League.”
“There has been much criticism but we scored a lot of goals, we are the [second-best] attack of the championship. That means we have an offensive game but sometimes you have to know when to defend.”
Mourinho already has quality backup at LB in the form of Filipe Luis. However, the Portuguese manager will look to further amplify the quality of the squad in hope to finally fulfill his dream of winning the Champions League with the Blues.
