Chelsea goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 admitted the Blues were under pressure ahead of their trip to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur after a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic.
The London side took the lead through a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 goal at the DW Stadium and were looking to end the game with a 1-0 win when the Latics scored a late equalizer. With Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur both scoring wins over the weekend, the Blues
slip down to fourth place on the table.
Chelsea will head to take on the Spurs, with the home side having a two point advantage over the Blues with a game in hand. The Blues stopper admitted the pressure was now on his side to secure a win in the away trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Cech said while speaking to reporters:
“It's not an ideal point because we wanted to have three, and we can consider it as two points lost, but we have another game at Spurs and we need to get those points ideally back.
Unfortunately when we are behind and chasing, any lost points puts you under more pressure to win every game.”
While the pressure was intense, for Cech, the upcoming game was exciting as well because the Blues were not only playing for the Premier League title but also for the UEFA Champions League spot. He admitted the game was a must win for his side.
He revealed:
“You can lose some points at the start and catch up, and sometimes you have a great start then you have a run with some games when you keep dropping points, so let's see.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are currently nine points behind league leaders Manchester City and Cech revealed the two points they had lost at Wigan Athletic could go on to make a difference at the end of the season. The 29-year-old admitted he felt he was responsible for letting
in the goal.
Cech continued:
“I tried to catch the ball but it was too late. I deflected it and it could have gone anywhere but it went straight to their player, which was unfortunate.”
