Talent 'not enough' to play for Chelsea, says Mudryk

Chelsea return to Premier League action against Newcastle after the Blues got off to a flying start to the Conference League campaign with their second successive win after beating Panathinaikos away. 

Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk was key to the Blues' victory, providing an assist in the first half to break the deadlock and scoring in the second half before providing another assist. 

Ahead of the game against the Magpies, the former Shakhtar Donetsk striker said Chelsea is a club that is always aiming for the best results in the best competitions and that even if you have talent, if you don't work hard you can't play for the Stamford Bridge outfit. 

"Chelsea is a club that is always aiming for the biggest results and getting to the greatest places in many tournaments. Talent ain’t enough. If you want to succeed you have to work hard and be patient," he said.
