When Chelsea is finding it hard to repeat their last year show in domestic premier league, it’s time to test their strength at European circuit that is why their next Champions league game against Israeli club Maccabi Tel-Aviv is being seen as a test to check if they are still worthy to be called the champions. It is yet to be believed that last season’s top notch performers are failing in every department of the game and manager José Mourinho also looks like helpless when it comes to motivate a losing side, yet Blues fans are known for not losing the hope and for that reason experts are still counting over Blues return in both domestic as well European leagues. North Londoners 27-year-old midfielder Nemanja Matić is the one who sees their Wednesday night game as the battle field to survive their odds in UEFA league. If we talk about the mood inside Chelsea dressing room, it is unbelievable; players need some kind of boost to revive their energy and next win could exactly do the same for them and Serbian player wants not to miss anything that night.
Matic, who was the only scorer from Stamford Bridge side during Everton loss, said on club website, “Of course we are not happy. Everybody is sad because of the result. Obviously we feel bad. We are in a difficult moment, and having four points after five games is not normal for our team. If you saw this game, I cannot say we deserved to win but we deserved a draw. Chelsea are not used to being on runs like we are at the moment but this is the reality. We have to work hard to get our game back to the way we played last season.
“I really don’t know what’s happened but it’s not good for us and we need to see what we can do better as a team. It’s good we have another game in a couple of days against Maccabi. We have to win, for our own confidence and for the fans. Then we have a derby against Arsenal, so I hope we will be ready for that and we can take three points.”
He did not categorically cited the mistakes his side has been doing until now but hinted they will try to shred off errors being done by them during the crucial moments of the game while if we talk about Portuguese mentor, he seems to be silent in the media these days, may be he is looking for an opportunity to lambast referees/media and all that!
