Chelsea star Malo Gusto makes major claim after FA Cup win against Aston Villa
The words of Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto echo a sentiment of resilience and determination within the Chelsea camp despite their struggles this season. Following their crucial 3-1 victory against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, Gusto stressed that Chelsea remain a force to be reckoned with, highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong mentality.
In his statement, Gusto reaffirms Chelsea’s identity as a club known for its resilience and fighting spirit. Despite facing adversity, he underlines that Chelsea stand far from defeated and the players remain committed to improving week by week. This message resonates with the fans, instilling hope and confidence in the team’s ability to overcome challenges. Here is what he had to say via the Standard:
“We are Chelsea. We just have to show the fans we are not dead and that we work every week to get better. That is what we have to do.”
“[The difference] was the mentality. The mentality of us all together was very nice and that is why we won.”
“The coach told us to get a good mentality, stick together and to put pressure [on them instead] — and that’s what we did.”
The French international credits the team’s success against Aston Villa to their collective mentality. He highlights the unity and determination displayed by the players, emphasizing the importance of working together towards a common goal. This unity, according to Gusto, was instrumental in securing the victory, showcasing the team’s strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
“WE ARE NOT DEAD!!!”
Speaking of his personal contributions, Gusto has a total of five assists this season in 22 appearances across all competitions including one for Nicholas Jackson’s goal against Unai Emery’s side. Gusto also acknowledges the role of manager Mauricio Pochettino in instilling a positive mindset within the team. He mentions Pochettino’s instructions to maintain a strong mentality, stick together as a team, and apply pressure on their opponents—a strategy that proved effective against the Villans.
Taking inspiration from their FA Cup triumph, Chelsea must certainly demonstrate the same resilience and determination in their Premier League fixtures. Gusto’s call to “show the fans we are not dead” encapsulates the team’s responsibility to their supporters and the club’s legacy. With each match, Chelsea must reaffirm their status as a force to be reckoned with in English football.
Importantly, the remainder of the season surely offers Chelsea an opportunity for redemption and resurgence. By harnessing the momentum gained from their FA Cup victory, the team can turn their fortunes around and finish the season on a high note. Every point earned in the league will certainly be crucial in shaping Chelsea’s final standing and restoring faith in the club’s capabilities.
