Chelsea's Club World Cup Success

Chelsea's recent triumph in the Club World Cup has not only solidified their status as world champions but also set the stage for their ambitions in the Premier League and the Champions League. Defender Levi Colwill, who played a pivotal role in the 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, expressed his confidence in the team's ability to achieve greater heights.

A Statement Victory

The match held at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium was a statement of intent from Chelsea. Colwill, who assisted in one of the goals, emphasized the significance of this win. "This is the biggest trophy I've ever won," he said. "I think the Club World Cup will be bigger than the Champions League, and we were the first team to win it."

Building on Success

When asked if Chelsea could leverage this success to win either the Premier League or the Champions League, Colwill was unequivocal. "Yeah, definitely," he replied. He recalled his earlier prediction about winning the Club World Cup and how it was met with skepticism. "I said at the start of this tournament that our plan is to win it, and people looked at me as if I was crazy. So I'm going to say the exact same thing now going into the Premier League and Champions League."

The Chelsea Identity

Colwill also highlighted the importance of team unity and the legacy of past Chelsea legends. "We're a team, and that's in the Chelsea identity. You stick together no matter what," he said. He mentioned players like John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Didier Drogba, who set the standard for success at Chelsea. "They were all amazing players, the best who won a lot, but we've got the best players in our team - young players for sure - and that's our plan: to win the biggest trophies for Chelsea."

Looking Ahead

With a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season and a Conference League win under manager Enzo Maresca, Chelsea has shown promising signs. Colwill believes the team is ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming season. "We're definitely capable of doing it. I think we've shown that. Everyone said that PSG were the best team in the world, but we won 3-0."
