http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo has gone on to admit that his side need to win their upcoming home games in the Champions League, following a loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
The match saw Chelsea get run over by their opponents, who went on to score two goals in the first half of the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 managed to score a consolation goal for the Blues in the dying stages of the game, but that goal did very little to cheer the fans
up.
Following the result in the game, Shakhtar are now sitting three points ahead of Chelsea. Despite that fact, Di Matteo is confident that his side can confirm progress from the group, should the team manage to win their two remaining home games in the league.
He told reporters: “We must win our two Champions League home games and I'm confident it will be a different game for Shakhtar [at Stamford Bridge].”
The manager then went on to admit that his side is strong at home, but they need to look at the performance against Shakhtar and learn from it. He also went on to confirm that the Blues opponents did surprise the team with their performance, and hence the
squad couldn’t underestimate their opponents in their coming games.
Di Matteo then went on to add: “We're strong at home as well.”
"I think we have to just look at this performance as a single one"
"They [Shakhtar] are a very strong team and they showed that again tonight. It's a difficult group we are in and the Champions League is always very competitive.”
"You look at the other result in our group and it shows just how competitive it is.”
Chelsea are going to have to learn from their loss in the Champions League, as they look to build for their coming games.
With the Blues having to play Manchester United this weekend, they can’t afford to concede any more silly goals, and they are going to have to hold strong in the game.
Should they fail to do so, this Champions League loss could be followed by their first defeat in the league this season.
