Liam Rosenior's stance on Chelsea documentary revealed ahead of Wrexham FA Cup tie

2 hours ago 54

Liam Rosenior has been speaking about the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary series and whether the Chelsea head coach would like something similar produced for the Blues

Liam Rosenior is aware of the pressure on his shoulders to win silverware in his debut season as Chelsea head coach ahead of this evening's FA Cup fifth round tie against Wrexham.

The Blues make the trip up to north Wales tonight to take on the Championship play-off hopefuls with a hope of reaching the last eight of the country's oldest competition. After exiting to Brighton at the fourth round stage last season, former head coach Enzo Maresca said his side would be able to focus on the Premier League more because they were out of the FA Cup.

That caused some anger among Chelsea supporters and while Rosenior is not aware of that particular comment, he highlighted the significance of winning silverware early in his Stamford Bridge tenure. "I'm not aware of that in particular," said Rosenior when asked about Maresca's comment. "I'm aware that this is a club built on winning.

"It's a club that expects to win trophies and tomorrow we need to make sure we're playing in a manner of a club that's expected to win trophies. That's all I can focus on."

Chelsea's last domestic trophy came in 2018, where they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Almost eight years on, Rosenior said: "I wasn't aware of how long it's been that the club haven't won a [domestic] trophy. That's not in my thinking. My thinking is to win the next game, to get us a step closer to winning trophies."

Rosenior also praised the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary which has shown the public the Welsh club's incredible rise in recent years - and said he wouldn't be opposed to Chelsea doing something similar. "I think they're really good things," said the Chelsea boss. "I've watched them all, I'm learning. I've watched the Man City one, the Arsenal one. There's many documentaries out there.

"I think they're really good for the public to see actually what it's really like. I'm not making an advertisement. If it was done in the right way, I wouldn't be against it.

"But it has to be done in the correct way. I think being open to the public [is good], the public spends so much money following us. Giving them access at the right time in the right way is a positive thing."
