Enzo Fernandez Still Hopeful Of Chelsea Qualification For Champions League

The Blues have endured a wretched season this term, and are 13 points behind fourth placed Tottenham Hotspurs, with more than half of the season already completed.

Chelsea are 10th on the Premier League table and their next game is away at champions Manchester City.

Having endured successive Premier League losses to Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Chelsea have secured back-to-back morale-boosting wins at Aston Villa in the FA Cup and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Enzo is hopeful Chelsea have turned a corner and is eyeing a late push for Champions League qualification.

"The victory at Crystal Palace is worth a lot to us. Last week we defeated Aston Villa in the FA Cup," Argentine international Fernandez told ESPN in an interview published on Tuesday.

"We are changing our attitude above all, and obviously this victory gives us confidence for what follows ... Throughout the season, we've had ups and downs in the league and that is why we find ourselves a little far away of the first places.

"But there is a long way to go, we have trust in our work, in a new team, and day by day we are improving to be able to meet the objective, we want to play in the Champions League next year."
