Chelsea’s interim manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo is more than happy to have come away with a point in the game against Arsenal, this past weekend.
The Blues took on Arsenal in the Premier League, only days after they had gone on to beat Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League match.
As a result, the manager had no option but to rotate his squad and bring in fresher players, as he wanted to get the best possible result against the Gunners, while hoping to pick up the win against the Catalans.
Despite the match ending in a draw, the Blues manager seemed more than happy with the result and is quoted to have said: "I think it was a brilliant team performance by ourselves. When you come to the Emirates it's difficult to play against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429"
"We got ourselves in some good positions but the final pass was missing a little bit. But I thought it was a fantastic performance.”
"The organisation, the team spirit, the effort, the commitment, from everybody, we had a lot of changes today and everybody showed that they are Chelsea players."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 and Ivanovic for the game and this gave Arsenal a sense of hope that they could overcome their London rivals.
Given the fact that Arsenal had already put five goals past Chelsea earlier in the season, everyone expected the game to be a high scoring one.
However, that was not the case, as both the teams missed a number of opportunities in front of each other’s goal.
Nonetheless, Di Matteo is now going to have to get his team’s mentality back on track, as they are set to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 at the Camp Nou.
Given the Catalans loss to Real Madrid, they are going to be a little bit shocked in the upcoming game and Chelsea could end up taking advantage of this fact. As a result, the team would have a much better chance of making it to the Champions League next season, if they end up winning the competition this time around.
