Portugal midfielder, Deco, is extremely confident that Chelsea has the potential to get back into the Premier League title hunt.
Blues have now slipped 3 points behind league leaders, Liverpool, after they failed to grab full points from their previous game against Fulham.
Their West-London rivals managed a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Craven Cottage.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side has secured only one victory from their 4 previous games.
However, the charismatic midfielder continues to believe that Chelsea can turn things around in the New Year. He claims, ‘I accept that we haven’t been playing to our standards in the past few games.’
‘We have missed several chances of moving to the top of the league table. However, the time that matters the most for being at the top is the end of the season. I feel that we have the team, who can finish as Premier League Champions.’
Speaking on Chelsea Boss, Deco said, ‘Scolari hasn’t changed since his days at Portugal. I still believe that he’s as strong as he was then. I find him handling us in the same manner, as he was doing earlier in the season that earned him praise from everyone.’
‘We still have a long season to go. It is always a big test playing in England in the second half, as things can get exciting in the closing stages.’
‘This is the time when we made a comeback in the previous season. I believe we have the talent to do one better by winning the League in this season.’
