The terrible 4-0 defeat against Bournemouth served as a good lesson for the Blues as they could be back to winning form very soon.
Gonzalo Higuain scored his first Chelsea goals and Eden Hazard struck twice as the Blues moved back into the top four with a dominant 5-0 victory over Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge.
In his post-match press conference Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has first spoken about his team’s emotions after Boutnemouth.
“I was completely focused on the team and in the last three or four days. Today the answer is really very good, but we have to be careful because we need the same mentality in every match. On Wednesday a lot of teams were in trouble, because it is difficult to have three days and reach the same level . In the Premier League you need to have that.
We have good potentials. We need to play the same football with continuity. We need to arrive with every match with application.
Will Bournemouth ever happen again?
I am not sure, but I hope so, we need to improve the mentality and we don’t need to lose a match for having the right motivation. We need to try to improve.
Motivating the players
We need to understand that in the future we will not have to lose a game for having motivation. We need to improve in this. Today they were really very motivated. But we lost 4-0 in the last match so we have to react. The level must be the same in every match.
Higuain
I know very well that when he arrived he wasn’t at the top. Now he is improving, I am really very happy because apart from the goals he is very good to play close to Hazard. On the pitch they are suitable to play one close to the other. For us it was very useful.
Huge test coming up
It will be very difficult for our opponents as well. At the moment we have to be happy about our season. We are involved in four different competitions. We have to fight if we want to stay in the top four and then we have to win something. It will be difficult, in the Carabao Cup with played Liverpool and Spurs, then we have to play City, like a Champions League. The championship is very competitive, we need consistency.
Performance
I think that we started very well in the first 25 minutes I really saw my football. We played for 90 minutes, we defended for 90 minutes. Today we played a very good match, but we need consistency now.
