Chelsea Specials - Galagher becoming captain of Chelsea is an honour

Any player would consider becoming captain of Chelsea to be an honour, but for Conor Gallagher, the responsibility holds a deeper meaning. Reece James' injury has forced the academy graduate to captain the Blues lately, and he did so once more during last night's 2-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Despite just being 23 years old himself, the midfielder demonstrated genuine leadership to help us earn the three points from our close neighbors, with Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja scoring for the Blues. The midfielder is one of the team's more seasoned players.

Conor, a player who has supported Chelsea his entire life, feels that taking the armband and leading the team to victory means just a little bit more. Every time I lead the club, I feel incredibly proud, so having done so a few times now, it means so much to me. Clarified Conor. Every time I on the pitch in a Chelsea shirt, I just want to do so well because Chelsea is my club and I've supported them my entire life. The few times I've had the honour of leading this club as captain have been incredible, and I simply want to keep giving everything I've got to help the squad win games.

At Craven Cottage, Gallagher undoubtedly did everything in his power to support the team, as the midfielder ran 12 km throughout the triumph, the most of any player on the pitch. The England player takes pride in setting an example on the pitch and has worked to become more 'disciplined' in his play. He thinks that his efforts will assist our young team flourish in the future. We have a pretty young team here, and I think I'm one of the more seasoned guys in terms of Premier League experience right now," the midfielder continued.

"I've tried to be a little bit more obedient and to lead the team more on the pitch." To assist set a positive example at all times, I'd even include off the pitch.
However, you need a lot of leaders because everyone must contribute. Even though our team is young, we have many good players, and we work hard to communicate and comprehend one another's strategies, as you probably saw against Fulham. A team needs that to prosper, so we'll work hard and try our best to make that happen. This victory is significant for us, and it is crucial that we build on it right away.
