Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has admitted nothing comes easy at Chelsea as every player is expected to fight for their place in the team.

“That’s a collective mindset,” explained Azpilicueta when asked about the fight for the starting places at Chelsea.

“When you play for Chelsea, one of the top clubs in the world, you have to fight for your place. Nothing comes easy. When you step on the pitch you have to be at your best.

“In every training session, even when you don’t play, everybody trains very hard, and that’s why when the changes come everybody is ready.

“We have the same idea. Sometimes we adapt to different systems, sometimes in the same system different players which means there is a different style of play, but the most important thing is we are all thinking in the same way.”
