Chelsea now believe in their process but need to stay humble for title tilt

Chelsea have won the Club World Cup, which has boosted the positive vibe at Stamford Bridge under the new ownership of Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly. However, the board is not demanding a Premier League win, and silencing talk of a title challenge will be difficult if Chelsea make a fast start to the season.

While Chelsea looked ready to go in the pre-season friendlies, the unknown is how the relentless schedule will affect them in the long run.
