Chelsea will miss out on the Champions League if Tottenham Hotspur continue their impressive form lately and the Blues drop any more points in the Premier League, but despite the huge blow that will be for the Premier League champions, Eden Hazard believes it could be a good omen for his side.
The Blues have been disastrous this season, winning few games in the course of the season. In 2018, the Blues have won only six games in 21 in all competitions, making it one of the poorest runs in the club’s recent history.
These results has seen the Blues fall to fifth position on the table, some 10 points behind Spurs who are likely to make the top four at the end of the campaign. That is a stark difference in the form that saw Antonio Conte win the Premier League in his maiden season at the club.
The painful drop from the Champions League spot could be a blessing in disguise for his side as history has it:
“I hope, for the Chelsea fans and ourselves, that we can achieve something. We still have the FA Cup to play for so we need to bring this trophy to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
When you play for Chelsea you want to be in the Champions League every year but last year we didn’t play in it and we won the title, so sometimes a bad thing can create a good thing. But we will play [to try to qualify] for the Champions League, for sure. We need to work together. There are six games left to play in the league and we will try everything to be in the top four at the end of the season.”
