Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s manager, claims the club can “back” them by winning the Conference League.
The Blues are strong favorites to reach the final against Real Betis or Fiorentina, which will be played in Wroclaw, Poland, on May 28. They are 4-1 up after the first leg of the semi-final against Swedish club Djurgarden last week.
When asked if winning a trophy, even in Uefa’s third-tier European competition, would suffice to say Chelsea are back, Maresca responded, “Yes, for me, winning a trophy, the Conference League, is a statement.”
“First, because you win a trophy, and then Real Madrid or other clubs don’t play the Conference League because it’s not the level they were at when they won.”
“We need to start there from scratch if we play in the Conference League because that’s where we are.”
It’s the only trophy Chelsea hasn’t won in the past, and it’s also good for the club because it means they can become the first team in Europe to win every European championship.
“From there, we’ll try to reach the semi-finals.” It’s a good place to begin to develop a winning mindset before playing games and winning prizes.
We hope to compete in various competitions in the future, but for the time being, that is currently the case.

6, 000 fans are expected to attend Thursday’s game at Stamford Bridge in London, where Djurgarden are 11th in the Swedish top flight.
Filip Jorgensen, the expected starting Chelsea goalkeeper, said: “We will take it as seriously as any other games.”
We want to reach the semi-final of a European competition.
No one seems to believe that this has yet been completed. There are still 90 minutes to play. We’re going to give it our all, and we want to win.
