“Wow, the team has improved a lot since I left. I normally watch Chelsea matches when i am free so I was about to notice something about the team. Enzo Maresca has made sure that…” – Former Chelsea player Antonio Rudiger is stunned by one surprising detail about the current squad

Antonio Rudiger has revealed that he regularly watches Chelsea’s games whenever he can and is impressed by the immense talent in the current squad.

Rudiger, who made over 200 appearances for Chelsea and won the Champions League before moving to Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2022, shared his thoughts on the club’s current state. In a recent interview on *The Inside Scoop Podcast*, the 31-year-old, who was a fan favorite at Stamford Bridge, expressed his admiration for Chelsea’s roster.

“I always watch their games whenever I can, when I’m not playing myself,” Rudiger said. “They have so much talent. I don’t know how much they’ve spent, it’s their strategy, but the players they have—wow!

He added, “Some teams probably wish they could spend that kind of money and sign these types of players. I’m really happy for them.”

Chelsea’s transfer strategy has faced significant criticism, but there are now indications that their strong focus on youth could yield substantial rewards.

The club has made significant investments in top young talent from across the globe, completely overhauling the squad in just two years. After two challenging seasons both on and off the field, there are signs that Chelsea may be turning things around, with a promising campaign ahead.

The Blues have started the season well, securing four wins from their first six matches and currently sit fourth in the table with 13 points, just two behind early leaders Liverpool.

Enzo Maresca’s side currently lead the league in scoring and have exceeded expectations with their strong start.

With the abundance of talent in the squad, it was only a matter of time before things began to fall into place. However, while the start has been impressive, there is still a long road ahead, and much remains to be discovered about this team.
