Yes they have a lot of players and have also brought in some good names too. Imo Chelsea will make the UCL. I’m so sure of this but they won’t win the league. They don’t have European distractions. Pochettino have given them a sense of play and they’re bonding and finding the rhythm this preseason. They will make the CL, people are underestimating what being totally out of Europe brings in term of squad's fitness. It's three teams that one can boldly say are ahead of them.
In the next season, Chelsea cannot be underestimated with their new squad, but Chelsea just needs to focus better on a position that can bring them into the UCL next season. Because I'm also not sure that Chelsea can win the Premier League next season, but if it's just fighting for the top four in the standings, I think it can be very possible for Chelsea. With a new coach at Chelsea, they will definitely have a different spirit next season, especially in terms of trying to be in a better position.
Pochettino is reportedly quite happy with what their new players are showing, especially the two strikers they bought this season Christopher Nkunku and Nicholas Jackson, indeed this is a pre-season game that will certainly be different from the main matches in the league, then the pressure will start to be felt by the players. Chelsea especially when facing matches against strong teams, but what they are showing seems to give hope that Chelsea has improved enough, and this season they will be luckier because they are focused on domestic without any international competition to be had.
Become the English premier league champion? it seems that it is not an easy thing for Chelsea to get, because the English premier league has always been a very tight competition league. Chelsea have to compete with clubs that are currently experiencing quite good development too, Arsenal will certainly struggle to achieve what they almost got last season, along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and the defending champions Manchester City besides other clubs that are often be dark horses must be able to handle well by Chelsea if you want to be a champion.
