Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has revealed the major problem at Chelsea following the Blues poor start to the season.

The Blues have made a poor start to the campaign, collecting just five points from our opening six fixtures despite spending £400million on new players in the summer.

“The supporters don’t identify with these players yet,” Zola told the Times.

“There are a lot of new players, young ones, and they are not fulfilling the expectations of the supporters and that is creating, let’s say dissatisfaction.

“When you invest so much money and you bring in so many new players the risk is you don’t form a group because it’s difficult. The players have to create a bond. It takes time.

“I hope the supporters understand the expectation level can’t be like it was four or five years ago. This is not the same team now. This team is forming itself. That’s the problem at the moment.”
