Chelsea star Levi Colwill speaks about playing in Wembley
Wembley games are special occasions in English football and decisive cup matches are played in the prestigious stadium. Apart from that, the stadium's history makes it a standout.
Levi Colwill was recently asked about playing in the stadium in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. The defender said on the matter (via the Blues' website):
"As an English boy, Wembley is a big thing. All the lads will be up for it, no doubt, but if I can help add a little more hunger then I will do that. We’ve got a lot of things to prove still this season, but winning the trophy would be a great way to back up what we’re doing."
Colwill has been a mainstay at Chelsea's defense this season, making 29 appearances across competitions. He has scored once and has provided one so far. Colwill has made six appearances in the Carabao Cup this term.
