As Brentford prepares to host Chelsea in a crucial Premier League encounter, manager Thomas Frank has shared his thoughts on the Blues and singled out winger for praise.
Despite Brentford’s recent struggles, sitting just five points above the relegation zone with three consecutive league defeats, Thomas Frank acknowledges Chelsea’s promising form. He highlights the high-quality players in Chelsea’s squad and their potential for future success.
Speaking about Chelsea, Frank expressed optimism about their trajectory, stating, “The talent and potential in the squad is extremely exciting. I can see the team competing in two years’ time or maybe earlier, depending on how the development goes.”
In particular, Frank highlighted Raheem Sterling’s resurgence, acknowledging the winger’s impactful performances for Chelsea this season. Sterling, under the guidance of manager Mauricio Pochettino, has been a consistent presence on the pitch, contributing significantly to the team’s success with 17 goal involvements in 33 appearances across all competitions.
Pochettino, echoing Frank’s sentiments, praised Sterling’s positive attitude and contributions to the team, emphasizing his importance in a squad that combines experienced players with emerging talent.
As Chelsea currently sits in 11th place, both teams are gearing up for a competitive fixture, with Brentford aiming to cause problems for their illustrious opponents while Chelsea seeks to build on recent positive results, including a commendable draw against Manchester City.
