“This kind of direction is bad” – Salomon Kalou finally reveals one thing Chelsea must do to bounce back to winning trophies
Ever since Todd Boehly acquired control of Chelsea, the team has had difficulties.
After placing 10th the previous season, Chelsea managed to finish in sixth position this time around.
Salomon Kalou, a former attacker for Chelsea, thinks his team will return to the top, nevertheless.
According to Kalou, Chelsea is a major club, and their return to glory at Stamford Bridge is simply a matter of time.
Kalou said: “Of course, they will [get back to the level we competed at]. It goes full circle, every big team goes around in a circle every ten years.
“You see today, big teams like Barcelona are struggling, but they’re going to come back because they’re a big club.
“When you’re a big club, and you establish yourself as a big club, it might take you a couple of years to get back to your level, but you eventually get there.
“I believe Chelsea will get back to their level – they need time. When you’re building something, you’re starting from scratch, so it’s going to be hard to be ready in one, two, three years. You need at least five-ten years, but I believe Chelsea will get back to their level.
“Every team has its identity, that’s for sure. Chelsea’s identity is different now. But, it’s the direction the club took. They need to back the new manager.”
