Chelsea have the resources to win, says Rosenior ahead of Arsenal clash

Newly appointed Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has expressed strong confidence in his squad’s existing capabilities as they approach the critical League Cup semi-final first leg against Premier League leaders Arsenal on Wednesday. The match marks Rosenior’s second game in charge and his first against top-flight opposition since taking over last Tuesday.\n\nThe 41-year-old coach, who ended Chelsea’s five-match winless streak with a commanding 5-1 FA Cup victory against Charlton Athletic on Saturday, emphasized that immediate success remains his primary focus despite long-term visioning. \”I’d love to be here six years or longer. But to do that, you need to start winning,\” Rosenior stated during Monday’s press conference. \”My focus is that I already have resources here to win.\”\n\nRosenior revealed extensive tactical preparations have been underway since his arrival, with particular attention given to analyzing Arsenal’s multifaceted gameplay. \”We’ve been working tactically on Arsenal from the moment I came into the club,\” he explained. \”We’ve watched all of their games, analyzed every aspect of their game, including set plays, at which they’re very good.\”\n\nThe coach specifically addressed emerging narratives labeling Arsenal as \”Set Piece FC,\\” dismissing the simplistic characterization. \”They’re a team who are very good without the ball. They have a really clear idea in the way they want to play with the ball,\” Rosenior noted, acknowledging their well-organized approach and effective set-piece delivery as components of a comprehensive successful formula.\n\nDespite the high-stakes nature of the encounter, Rosenior maintains a process-oriented perspective, stating: \”I’m not making it any bigger than the fact it’s the next game, and we have to win. That’s the way I see it.\” The Chelsea squad has responded positively to training methods, with selection decisions for the semi-final clash to be finalized in the coming days.
