"It was a great day out for the Bradford supporters, with no expectations. Myself and Steve like to play with the same principle and reflect what Wrexham's all about as an area - similarly to how we did when we were at Bradford. The underdog fighting spirit has got to be there because we know we're up against a team who are Club World Cup champions."
"It's great that Chelsea have given a young British manager an opportunity to manage a club of their stature. He looks to be getting them playing the way he wants. It's only significant if we back it up. We have to be consistent. We have a massive FA Cup game, then a huge game with Paris, then another huge game against Newcastle."
Phil Parkinson, Wrexham's manager, seeks to recreate the success of his Bradford City team that defeated Chelsea 4-2 in the 2015 FA Cup fourth round, recovering from 2-0 down. Parkinson and assistant Steve Parkin plan to employ the same underdog fighting spirit at Wrexham, emphasizing the club's identity and principles. Chelsea, managed by young British manager Liam Rosenior, recently won 4-1 against Aston Villa with Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick. Rosenior acknowledges the importance of consistency, noting Chelsea faces significant upcoming fixtures including an FA Cup match against Wrexham, a Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, and a Premier League encounter with Newcastle.
