Pedro Neto fuels Chelsea's Champions League charge and FA Cup ambitions, aiming for silverware and a triumphant end to the season.
Chelsea currently occupies sixth place, three points behind Liverpool and Manchester United, who are above them in the table. These three teams, along with Aston Villa, are fighting for the three Champions League qualification spots. With Chelsea currently outside the qualification places, the Blues will need to maintain their good form over the final 11 games of the season.
The challenge for Rosenior will be far from easy this weekend, when his team travels from west to north London to face Arsenal on Sunday. Rosenior's two defeats have come against Mikel Arteta's men in the Carabao Cup semifinal and will represent the toughest test the new manager has faced in the Premier League.
Despite this challenge, Neto is determined to finish the season strongly and believes that, under his new manager's guidance, his team is capable of ending on a positive note. The Portuguese star has even set himself the goal of winning a title this summer.
In statements to Chelsea's communications team, Neto made clear his ambitions and those of Chelsea for the remainder of the season. He explained that he wants "to do better than before and achieve everything I can with this football club and with the national team."
He said: "The club's objective is to win as many trophies as we can. We are in the FA Cup, we are in the Champions League. We are a little bit far from the title, but we have to make sure we are in the Champions League.
"The objectives are there, and we know what they are. Of course, as a club, we want to win trophies, and those trophies would be a wonderful way to end the season."
Neto arrived at Chelsea from Wolverhampton and has already tasted glory by lifting trophies with the Blues, including the Conference League and the Club World Cup. He explained that he joined the club to compete for titles, but admitted the Blues have work ahead of them this season.
"I came to this club to win trophies, as we did in my first season. It was an incredible first season for me. In the second one, we have a long way to go; we have a lot to fight for. So the expectations are very high. Of course, we expect to do better every year. Being at a top-tier club, the responsibility is also greater," he added.
