“At the moment I would not say there are obvious weaknesses (in Chelsea). There are areas that need to be improved, but if you look closely since (Ben) Chilwell, (Edouard) Mendy and (Thiago) Silva have played in the team, clean. sheet started happening a lot. We looked safe, and guaranteed from the set-pieces. “
“Things have improved dramatically from last season. I think there are still areas where Chelsea can do better and they will improve, but I certainly put them as contenders to win the Champions League and (Premier) League this season. , “said Cole.
“Bayern Munich, in my opinion, are definitely favorites because they are defending champions, but I will bet on the English team to go far in that competition and at least one of them will progress to the final. I think it will be a good season for us. “concluded the former top player Chelsea that.
