Chelsea was third in the Premier League last season despite starting the Premier League.
They slipped along the way as the season progressed due to injuries and Covid-19 to some key players within the squad.
The Chelsea player of the year added: “Every new year is special. I didn’t get to go away on a pre-season tour last season so to come here (Los Angeles) has been brilliant to get back at it. All the boys have been buzzing, a really good feel around the group and to get back to training and working hard that’s what we want to do. We’ve got a massive season coming up.
“After every year I feel I’m definitely getting older, more experienced, I still feel young but I need to step up and be a leader. As I play quite a lot of games and I am experienced for my age to be able to speak to the younger boys because I’ve been there and done that… to give them confidence when they come and train because it can be difficult when you come away on a pre-season tour.
“But I was just saying to them do what you do, you don’t need to do anything special, just play what your game is and you’ll definitely impress the manager. That’s the advice I’d give and to try to make them feel welcome.
“Of course, winning the title is always the goal, that’s always my goal personally you want to win the Premier League. It’s very tough to do that because you have to be so consistent throughout. We started last season very well and we were in a good position and then you lose a few games, drop a few points and you’re third and it happens so quickly. We experienced that last season and probably the last three so now it’s something we need to change.”
Mason Mount is currently in the United States with the Chelsea team on a pre-season Tour.
