Marcos Alonso is only one of four players in the current Chelsea squad that were a part of the Premier League winning side of 2017.
When asked about what it would take for this side to get back to winning the league, he told The Athletic:
“Just a bit of consistency. It’s difficult to fight for every competition and then perform 100 per cent every week. Credit to Manchester City. Are they like a machine, generating win after win? Yes. They are doing well, to be honest.
“I think we have the quality (to do the same), there is no doubt about that. We just need to win more regularly. It is a long championship. We were close until the last month. It is a little bit of a pity to be this far (behind) at this moment. But we need to keep fighting and hopefully, Manchester City will have some bad moments and we will take advantage of that and close the gap a little bit.
“We will see if we get to the end of the season with a bit of a chance to get in the mix and fight for the Premier League as well.
Looking forward to the future he said:
“Of course I want to win the Premier League, I feel great here. I have always said it. I think the way I play you can see that I’m happy here. But there are also other people who have to make decisions.
“I just want to help, I just want to be important and lead by example. This is the main thing. We all showed character in the Club World Cup final. None of us gave up. We had never won this trophy before in the club’s history. I’m very delighted that we did our thing. We tried everything and won.”
Marcos Alonso has had some memorable moments at the club, winning all possible trophies at club level. He is now 31-years-old and has a hard time holding down a starting spot in Tuchel’s squad.
With Chilwell returning from injury next season, it may be time to move on the full-back.
