Liam Delap: We have to win more honours for the club and help the team achieve outstanding results


Liam Delap signed for Chelsea in June and expressed his desire to compete for glory. Less than two months later, that goal has been achieved. In the past six weeks, he has quickly integrated into the team. After a short training session with his new teammates at the Cobham training base, he traveled to the United States with the team to participate in and win the Club World Cup.  

 

He made his debut in the opening match against Los Angeles FC, assisting the team's second goal with a precise cross, and then contributed a wonderful goal in the group match against ES Tunisia to ensure the team's early qualification for the knockout stage.  

 

Liam Delap played in all of Chelsea's games in the FIFA Club World Cup, except for the semi-final, which he missed due to suspension. Although he played actively in the final against Paris Saint-Germain, he failed to score, with both of his shots being well saved by Donnarumma.  

 

Ultimately, it didn't make a difference in the outcome of the game. What's worth remembering is the championship medal hanging around Liam Delap's neck and the emotional moment he held the trophy aloft before being interviewed at MetLife Stadium.  

 

Liam Delap said: "This is undoubtedly a great start, but we must continue this momentum into next season and continue to fight hard to win more honors for this extraordinary club. We are full of confidence in the team's future."  

 

"I haven't been here long, but I can clearly feel that the team respects the coach's tactical arrangements very much, and everyone has a strong desire to win. We have demonstrated this in the game, and hope to continue this performance in the future."  

 

In the final against Paris Saint-Germain, Liam Delap got the chance to start as a substitute and watched the team take a three-goal lead in the first half.  

 

Cole Palmer and Liam Delap have known each other for many years since their time at Manchester City's youth academy. In this game, he broke the deadlock for the team first, then scored twice after half an hour and assisted Joao Pedro to score the third goal. His performance was comprehensive.  

 

Liam Delap came on as a substitute in the second half and took advantage of the PSG defence's sluggish performance to successfully break through the opposition defence and create threats. As mentioned earlier, his many shots were saved by Donnarumma and he failed to score.  

 

The winger continued: “Before the game, there were a lot of rumors about PSG being the favourites, but we kept our faith and belief. We knew that as long as we followed our game plan, we would win, and we proved it with our performance.”  

 

"It is well known that Cole Palmer is an outstanding and unique player. But every player on the field has his own responsibilities. We must keep fighting and fight for every ball and challenge. When the opportunity comes, we must go all out, and we succeeded in doing so."  

 

Liam Delap, like his teammates, will now enjoy a valuable rest period to relax and prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 season, which will be his first Chelsea game. Although he has become a world champion, Liam Delap's ambitions remain as firm as when he joined Chelsea. "  

 

He said: "We must maintain a firm belief in winning and strive to win more honors. This team is very special and I firmly believe that we can continue to achieve outstanding results."
