Kurt Zouma is convinced that Chelsea’s “bad period” has been left behind after a 1-0 win over Fulham and revealed the message that Frank Lampard had reinforced his cheating streak in those troops.
Zouma found himself on the bench for the close victory at Craven Cottage on Saturday night, his Chelsea teammates ending a three-game winning streak in the Premier League.
They hope to win back to back against Leicester City on Tuesday night, not an undeniable task with the Foxes flying up in the third.
Despite the poor past form, Lampard sought to instill a positive message to his players to keep morale high.
And Zouma believes Chelsea are now in a difficult time and in a position to challenge Brendan Rodgers’ team.
“We take a look at Leicester, it’s a damaging team and we know their weapons, but the technique of the game is the most important thing,” he told Chelsea’s official website.
“We need to play ours and we have to win this game on our own. Array The coach told us to be positive.
“We know we had a bad time and we may have done better in many games, but all that happened is us now.
“This year you can see that the team wins everyone’s problems. Every game is different and difficult.
“It will be a very open match, but we have to do it ourselves. “
Although Chelsea are seventh on the table, Zouma, who has 15 of his 18 Premier League games, enjoys his role in Stamford Bridge.
“I’m getting better at many facets of the game,” he added.
“Before, I was young and needed a lot of information, but now I’m 26 years old, I have a little experience. I play week after week and the paintings never end. I have to keep running hard and be informed. “
“I’m happy to be back in Chelsea after what happened with the injury and then being on loan, so I’m laughing right now. “
