Tottenham confidently beat Chelsea in the 13th round of the Premier League.

"I knew all the problems we were working on, and today's match made them obvious to all. First of all, I hope that the players understood. Last week I noted that we are experiencing serious problems with the approach to the match, and today they repeated. The difference is only in the level of the opponent, which is why by the 16th minute we were two goals behind. But our difficulties do not end there.. Today we looked just terrible from a physical, gaming, psychological, technical and, especially in the first 25 minutes, from a tactical point of view.. We have a lot to do.. I knew about it well, and now everyone saw it.. I repeat, the main thing for me is that the players themselves understand it ", - Chelsea quotes the official website.

"We need to work in training. We are extremely limited in time, because in the conditions of the next every three days of matches we simply have no time to improve the team game and the actions of individual players.. We only have time to prepare for the next game ".

"However, we need to do something, since today's defense game has become a real catastrophe. At the same time, I'm not talking about defense players, but about the defensive actions of the team as a whole.. The players of the attack did not provide effective pressure, and the midfielders did not support the defense, as a result of which our line of defense failed again and again ".

"Already in the first minutes of the match, it became clear that it would not be possible to use Jorginho in the usual manner. We needed to deliver the ball from defense center players to defenders on opposite flanks. It was the only opportunity to win one or two seconds to dispose of the ball..

Today, the opponent surprised us by using the 4–3–1–2 "scheme instead of the usual 4–2–3–1 or 4–3–3.

"In just five minutes, the situation became clear. We were constantly losing goals, which is extremely dangerous in games against Tottenham. The loss in their half of the field threatens to turn into an instant counterattack, and in this component our today's opponent is one of the strongest clubs in Europe. In the end, everything ended in disaster, and the score at the end of 20 minutes of the meeting could well and should have been larger than 2: 0 ".
