Ben Chilwell believes it's "100% possible" that Chelsea win the Champions League and FA Cup this season and admits it's taken some time for him to adapt to Thomas Tuchel's tactical demands.
It was at the end of January that the German coach was brought in to replace Frank Lampard. At that point, Chelsea's campaign was in danger of imploding with the Blues ninth in the Premier League table and widespread reports of unrest among the squad.
The transformation overseen by Tuchel has been dramatic. Chelsea have risen to fourth in the top flight and sit two points ahead of fifth-place West Ham United.
On Sunday, they secured their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals by defeating Sheffield United and that victory came on the back of advancing into the Champions League quarter-finals at Atletico Madrid's expense.
Chelsea are unbeaten in 14 matches with Tuchel at the helm and more impressively is they've kept 12 clean sheets in those games. Understandably, expectations have increased that the Blues can end the campaign with silverware.
And Chilwell, who is currently on international duty with England, believes such success isn't beyond Chelsea this term.
“It’s 100% possible. We’re in both competitions and playing well, but it’s not something we’re talking about," he told The Telegraph.
"I think it’s in the back of everyone’s minds but at the moment – I know it’s cliched – we’re just taking it week by week and the manager’s indicated to us that what we need to do.
"We have to keep improving in training and going into every match with the same mindset that we have been.”
Under Lampard, Chilwell was a guaranteed starter at left-back. It's been very different under Tuchel, largely because the 47-year-old coach has opted to use a 3-4-2-1 system with wing-backs.
That has seen Marcos Alonso brought back into the fold and the Spaniard has often been preferred to Chiwell in Chelsea's key matches by the former Paris Saint-Germain boss.
The 24-year-old has started only six of Chelsea's last 14 games and admits it has taken some time to adapt to the demands of playing as a wing-back as opposed to on the left of a back four.
“My whole career, I’ve been more used to playing left-back than a wing-back," he said. "The formation we’re playing suits a lot of players and it’s working for us very well.
"So if I want to play I have to adapt my game to be able to play left wing-back as well as left-back.
“I’m working hard in training and, coming into games, I’m asking a lot of questions, where I can be positionally, so I can improve and get more opportunities to play in that role.
"But on the other side of things when you’ve got two or three players in each position that can do different roles and have different strengths, it makes everyone train a lot harder, which is creating a good buzz around the place.”
He added: “The main thing is when you’re playing wing-back, you’re already a lot higher up the pitch. When you’re playing left-back, you’re running on to things, using your speed to get up and down the pitch, which is my strength.
"Whereas left wing-back, you’re predominantly just in the attacking third, which I’ve had to adapt to. Against Sheffield United, I got a dubious goal and assist, so on the attacking side of things I’ve shown that I can play there as well as left-back.”
