The 26th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place, with Chelsea hosting newly promoted Leeds United at Stamford Bridge. Manager Rossenier stated that the players' passion and enjoyment of the game are key factors in the team's success, while also finding a balance between attack and defense.
Thanks to a hat-trick from Palmer, Chelsea defeated Wolves 3-1 at Molineux Stadium in the last round. With four consecutive wins, Chelsea currently sit fifth in the standings with 43 points, remaining in the race for Champions League qualification.
Chelsea manager Rossenier said, "I think everyone can see that whether it's Palmer, João Pedro, Enzo, Caicedo and Andre Santos, or the players in the back line, they are playing with great passion because they really enjoy the game."
"As the head coach, it's very gratifying to see all this. Because without passion, there's no energy or intensity. Everything looks good right now, but we must keep it up."
When discussing the team's overall form, Rosseneil said, "We have a very diverse attacking threat. We can see full-backs like Cucurella and Gusto also going into the penalty area to try and score. This is the kind of football I believe in."
“When you have different threats on the field, it’s harder for your opponents to defend against them. Right now, our attacking threat is really strong, but I also hope to achieve more clean sheets on that basis, and we must ensure a balance between offense and defense in the game.”
Regarding their upcoming match against Leeds United, Rosselli said, "In my opinion, the reason they are top and world-class players is because they can make the right decisions in an instant. My job is not to tell the players where to stand, but to put them in positions where they can influence the game in their own way."
"Maintaining fluidity in offense makes it difficult for the opponent to predict, which is a positive aspect. However, without proper structural support, it becomes easy to break through during transitions, so the key is to find a balance between the two."
