DBasia.news – Cesar Azpilicueta, the Chelsea captain, is worried that his team will lose the opponent’s fear factor every time they compete at Stamford Bridge, which incidentally homes to the Blues.
Chelsea lost 0-2 to Southampton at Stamford Bridge. In the two previous home games, the Blues also lost to West Ham and Bournemouth.
According to Cesar Azpilicueta, because of the bad results, Chelsea is now months away from the feared team at Stamford Bridge.
“It’s true that when the team sees that we haven’t won the game, they come here with more confidence because they see they can do it. So, forget tactics. It’s all about restoring respect in you, being solid at home, because it’s not normal to lose so much in your own stadium,” Cesar Azpilicueta said at Soccerway.
“I don’t think the pressure of playing at home should be negative. Instead, it must be the opposite. We have players, we have quality and we have to turn things around immediately. The lesson was very hard, losing the last three matches at home and not scoring goals.”
“It’s hard to understand why this happened. Usually at home you find teams that are a bit more defensive, we can enjoy more time with the ball and you can create more chances.” “It depends on us. When you play at home, it’s not about rivals, it’s about yourself, about moving the ball quickly to find space, to create opportunities,” Cesar Azpilicueta added.
