With what am seeing, chlease will do great next season,.it is already surfacing, I think you're very right that the guys has really improved a lot, I can those times, at a time I decided that I won't waste my time watching them play, it was as if they weren't training, the bad result was something else, at a time I was even surprised to see them try to occupy the position they ended last season with and also lifting the conference league title, I wasn't easy, here they are making there fans proud, my question how are now going to scale through the world club cup finals, now that we are now in the finals toeet with PSG, although theres one thing I love Chelsea for, we aren't afraid of any team, PSG on the other hand knows that it is not going to be a work over for them.
I agree that Chelsea has improved compared to how they were in previous seasons, but I also have to say that they've not been impressive, especially in the CWC. What I have seen from Chelsea is glimpses of a good team, but they have not been able to maintain that level for the period of the match. There is still a lot to improve on because if they hope to be among the elite next season and aim to win the league, they will need to be better than this and be consistent doing it.
They will be tested when they face PSG, because so far in the tournament, they've not faced a top European team. I am not writing Chelsea off, but PSG is a better team than they are and if they find a way to win, that will make a lot of statement and increase their confidence level going into the next season.
Chelsea did perform quite well in the FIFA Club World Cup, and their striker Joao Pedro doesn't seem to need much time to integrate into the team, where he has been impressive and has already scored 2 goals. But that cannot be used as a sign that they will be successful in the Premier League next season because they haven't really faced any big teams so far and playing against PSG will really be a real test. Apart from that, it's not only Chelsea who are making preparations, but Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool are also very serious about making improvements, and I think those are the teams that will be the obstacles for Chelsea.
