Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has warned his players there'll be no room for slackers ahead of next season's title push.
Tuchel has warned his Chelsea players they cannot drop 'one per cent' if they have any ambitions of fighting for the Premier League title next season.
The Blues strengthened their grip on a top-four finish with a 1-0 win at West Ham to leave them three points above the Hammers in the Champions League places.
"All the performances are a benchmark," he said. "When we do it now, we want to do it on Tuesday and then on Saturday again. This is how we approach our team and how you approach high-level sport.
"You can't be distracted by too many visions and goals that are too far away. I am very happy with the consistency of quality that we can deliver every three days.
"We play with courage and it is a really high level that we can produce consistently. This is what we demand for Tuesday in all different set ups, whether FA Cup, league or Champions League."
Tuchel also said: "We demand full focus and to reach your own highest level,' he added. 'We will demand that next season no matter what, no matter what the target is.
"The first target will be to win the opening match when it arrives and in pre-season we won't allow anyone to even drop one per cent, not even in friendly matches.
"When you sign up for Chelsea you sign up for the highest competition and you sign up for winning."
