Chelsea midfielder star Ravia has expressed his confidence and expectations for the new season in a recent interview. Although the past year has been full of challenges and ups and downs for the 20-year-old Belgian youngster, he remains confident that under the leadership of new manager Maresca, he will be able to work hand in hand with his teammates to build a strong Chelsea team.
Ravia's soccer career has had its ups and downs. Starting out with Belgian giants Anderlecht, then having to face unfamiliar environments on his own after joining Manchester City due to an epidemic, then moving to Southampton due to injuries and limited opportunities to play, and eventually being relegated to the Championship, each step has been full of difficulties. However, it is these experiences that have forged Ravia's resilient character and infinite love for soccer.
Ravia joined Chelsea for £53 million last summer as part of the club's summer reinforcement spree. However, under former manager Mauricio Pochettino, he only got limited playing time due to injury problems. Despite this, Ravia never gave up his love and pursuit of soccer, and he always maintained a positive attitude and worked hard to overcome all the difficulties.
Luckily for Ravia, he was favored by new head coach Maresca during the preseason. In the U.S. tour, Ravia performed well, starting all five games and contributing two assists, making him an indispensable member of the team. Maresca's familiarity and trust in Ravia will undoubtedly provide a strong guarantee for his performance in the new season.
Ravia is full of confidence and expectations for the future. He said that he and his teammates are working together to build a strong Chelsea team. Although the team's current performance is not ideal, he believes that as long as we work together and strive together, we will be able to usher in a better tomorrow. Ravia also revealed that he had worked with a number of world-class players when he was in the youth team of Manchester City, and these experiences have benefited him a lot. He hopes that he can show his talent and strength on the Chelsea pitch just like his predecessors.
Looking ahead, Lavia is expected to play a major role at the back for Chelsea. His midfield combination with teammates such as Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo and Dewsbury Hall will be the key to the team's offensive and defensive transition. Ravia said that he will do his best to contribute to the team and help them achieve better results.
