talk about chelsea
05/06/2004. Chelsea's winger Jesper Gronkjaer insists Chelsea have achieved a lot this season despite their failure to put any trophies in the cabinat.
The Blues saw their last remaining hope of silverware dashed last night as they crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Monaco.
However, Gronkjaer, who opened the scoring yesterday, feels Chelsea can be proud of their achievement.
He said: "We have achieved a lot this year. We have moved a few steps forward as a club, even though so many new players came in.
"Of course, we have had enormous expectations because of all those new players but I still think we have achieved quite a lot.
"We have got more goals and more points than last season, and we have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
"We went out in the first round of the UEFA Cup in the previous three seasons, so it is been much better this season.
"At the end of the day though, you are always going to look at the silverware. We still have not won anything and that is disappointing. Hopefully that will happen soon.
"Now it is crucial for us to finish second in the league. It's a big game at Old Trafford and we must be together as a group.
"We have to believe that we can win there. We are all disappointed but we have to bounce back for ourselves and the club. It is going to be really important."
