Chelsea fullback Marc Cucurella is convinced of big things under manager Graham Potter.

Cucurella played for Potter at Brighton ahead of them being reunited later this season.

He told The Sun: “This is maybe another season (Premier League resumption).

“It is really good for us, the last games before the break we didn't play too good or get results but this is a new season.

“We have to stay together, play good football and win games."

Cucurella's faith that things will change when the Blues return to Premier League action this month stems from his confidence in Potter.

The former Swansea and Ostersunds manager faced critics when he first joined Brighton.

Cucurella gave a grin when asked about Potter's tactics being combined with a star-studded squad.

He said: “We have big players to do his ideas. I was really happy at Brighton with him and now he has come here and I think it is good for me and the rest of the team. He is a good coach because his idea of football is attacking.

“All of it is a process. The first season with Graham in Brighton the results were not good, they stayed down in the table.

“They continued with the same ideas, working, working and working. Then, last season and this season they played really good with the same ideas.

“We need to work and understand his ideas and the results will arrive.

“It is difficult because it is a new coach with different ideas and it is difficult to change without the time to train.

“This part of the season we have time, we meet more and know the ideas of the coach. This second part of the season, I am excited for."
