Chelsea are currently fourth on the Premier League<\/a> and this weekend they are enjoying the winter break following which they take on Manchester United at home.<\/p>\n

Right now the Blues are in a bit of a turmoil having won just one out of their last five league matches which is why captain Cesar Azpilicueta feels the winter break might have come at the ideal time for them.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s nice to have a few days to switch off,\u2019<\/em> Azpilicueta told the club’s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018At the top level you need a high level of fitness, but also on the mental side you need to be focused and concentrated. <\/em><\/p>\n

‘With this break, we have the chance to switch off for a few days and get some fresh air. Then we will come back, do some work, and kick on for the last three or four months of competition with the power of the break behind us.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018They did well to fit it in the middle of the season, which is not easy with the busy schedule. I will have some time with my family and live without any rush or any travelling. It\u2019s nice to spend time with them. <\/em><\/p>\n

‘They support me through the year, and at the weekends we are off travelling. For us to spend a nice time together is important.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018You never know. Sometimes when you are in good form you might not want to stop because you are in good rhythm and you have wins in a row. <\/em><\/p>\n

‘At the moment we are inconsistent, so hopefully, we can get more consistent after the break and be ready for the next stage of the season.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s difficult to determine if this is a good time or not. It is what it is and we have to take it in the right way.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Following the break, the Blues have three crunch home matches where they take on Manchester United, Tottenham and then Bayern Munich one after the other.<\/p>\n
