BlueCo took over Chelsea back in 2022, and the club now look set to miss out on Champions League football for the third time in those four years.
Chelsea may well fail to qualify for European football altogether, but the FA Cup final offers a chance to make it to the Europa League, should they beat Man City.
Speaking to The Standard, Lavia, 22, insists he still believes in the Chelsea project and opened up on another disappointing season.
“It’s hard to put names, because I think everyone in different parts of the season has shown leadership,” Lavia said.
“It’s more of a collective quality that we have. When you talk about leadership, some players we (might) think it’s off the pitch or being vocal, some players it’s on the pitch.
“I’d probably say the ones that have been at the club for the longest have definitely shown a lot of leadership at this club.”
Pressed to be specific, the midfielder said: “I could name a few. I’d probably say Enzo (Fernandez), because he’s won the World Cup and he’s got a lot of experience.
“When you talk about leaders, he’s a really good example because he doesn’t need to speak too much and when he does, everyone listens.”
Asked whether he still has full confidence in the Chelsea project, Lavia responded: “Yes, of course. The day I lose belief, I will probably be the first one to leave this place.
“When you're in the building, never at any point do you see a loss of belief. On a personal note, I 100 per cent believe we will turn it around and get back to the Chelsea everyone knows.”
