Revealed: How Chelsea have revamped Stamford Bridge to try and motivate their players

Chelsea shouldn’t need much motivation after missing out on the top four last season but a quick glance around Stamford Bridge this season should give them some encouragement.

The Blues are embarking on a new adventure under manager Maurizio Sarri and got their season underway with an impressive 3-0 win away at Huddersfield on Saturday.

World Cup winner N’Golo Kante, summer signing Jorginho and Spanish international Pedro got the goals to deliver three points on the opening weekend of the season.

It’s a promising start for new boss Sarri as he looks to revive the fortunes of a team that became fractured under the leadership of Antonio Conte last year.

Chelsea will not be playing Champions League football this term and need to claw back the gap that has opened up between them and their rivals in 2018/19.

One way the club has decided to help the players find their form seems to be with the addition of motivational messages inside the tunnel at the Bridge.

Chelsea have also added several messages from former players, including Frank Lampard and Jimmy Greaves, to the home dressing room as a reminder of the club’s greatest stars.

Under Conte, Chelsea finished fifth last season and were a massive 30 points behind runaway champions Manchester City in the Premier League’s final standings.
