Alonso Sets Ambition at Chelsea as Pre-Season Kicks Off
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has officially arrived at Stamford Bridge on a four-year deal, charged with restoring the club’s former glory after a disappointing 10th-place finish last season. Alonso wasted no time gathering his players at Cobham for an intensive pre-season program. He insists on relentless hard work and total commitment to build a winning culture from day one. “You can’t hold back anything; everything is for the team,” Alonso said. “Hard work is a must. We need to create that culture through our daily process here.” The former midfield maestro also expressed excitement about the squad’s potential and his vision for an attractive style that connects with fans. Alonso’s first competitive test arrives on August 24 in a West London derby against Fulham.
