"We're going to try and create a winning team and that's a fantastic opportunity for me."
Some of Graham Potter's first words when he was appointed Chelsea head coach back in September. Words that you want to hear from your new manager, words they have to say and words every coach hopes comes true as they look to implement their philosophy at the football club.
Winning football matches is embedded into Chelsea Football Club. A club with a rich history and in a century when success is all that has been known at Stamford Bridge. So it was always going to be extremely difficult for Potter. He had to come in and work with a brand new squad, with players who had little to no experience of playing together after a hectic summer transfer window and the head coach had to try and get his style across to each and every one of them.
