Marc Cucurella believes that the power of Chelsea depth shows their ambition to do 'great things' this season.
The blues achieved their first victory of their 2025-26 Premier League campaign after the thrashing of West Ham with 5-1, with five different players who scored the goals.
Chelsea has been as busy this summer as always on the transfer market and brought in Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Jorrel Hato, while Estevao joined the club a year after his transfer from Palmeiras.
Cucurella insisted that the depth of Enzo Maresca's team is not an obstacle if they want to build on their success of the Conference League and Club World Cup.
“We had five different goal scorers [at West Ham] That shows that the team is very ambitious and has a lot of quality, “Cucurella told the club website.
“We have new players who bring a lot of energy and quality. It's about teamwork and we all showed that we can bring something to the team.
“We must all be important during the season. We have improved and we have to keep working.
“We have to continue in the way we ended up last season. We have to go step by step, Game by Game, we have a great season for us and hopefully we can do great things.”

Hato replaced Cucurella in the 69th minute of their victory on the Hammers, while Estevao got a final second after Cole Palmer was excluded during the warm-ups with injury.
The Spanish left back, which came to Chelsea in 2022, hopes that he can help teenagers to settle in their new club.
“Hato made his debut and I am very happy for him,” Cucurella added.
“He is a very good player, very young, and hopefully I can help him here with his adjustment.
“Estevao is very young but very mature. In theory he started on the couch, but in five minutes he had to be ready. He had to listen to the tactics and such.
“He had a great game. He had the chance to score at the end, but he has a lot of quality and he can improve a lot, so hopefully he can continue this way.”
