Bertrand backs himself for long Chelsea future
RYAN BERTRAND will challenge Ashley Cole for left-back berth despite big interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool
RYAN BERTRAND believes his long-term future is at Chelsea.
The 23-year-old is wanted by Liverpool but is determined to bide his time at Stamford Bridge and compete with Ashley Cole, 32, for the left-back berth.
He said: I see my future being Chelseas No 1 left-back.
I dont concentrate on trying to dislodge him. I just focus on myself and my game and Im sure that time will come.
The twice-capped England ace knows competition is part of playing for a top club but in a World Cup year understands not playing could hurt his chances with the Three Lions.
Bertrand added: Being at a club like Chelsea competition is just a way of life.
In the back of my mind Im aware of the World Cup. Hopefully I can get enough games and you never know.
