It will take time.
But the outlay has had little effect on Chelsea’s decline, and the Blues face a gruelling run of fixtures where they take on the majority of the top six in the next two months.
But Zola says it’s the spending that has caused the biggest ‘problem’ at Chelsea, as supporters have no infinity with the new wave of players.‘The supporters don’t identify with these players yet,’ Zola told the Times. ‘There are a lot of new players, young ones, and they are not fulfilling the expectations of the supporters and that is creating, let’s say dissatisfaction.
‘When you invest so much money and you bring in so many new players the risk is you don’t form a group because it’s difficult. The players have to create a bond. It takes time. ‘I hope the supporters understand the expectation level can’t be like it was four or five years ago. This is not the same team now. This team is forming itself. That’s the problem at the moment.’
