DBasia.news – One foot of Chelsea is in the quarter-finals of the 2018-19 Europa League. The Blues won a landslide victory over Dynamo Kiev in the first leg of the Europa League last 16 at Stamford Bridge.
Dominating the course of the game since the first round, the Blues managed to win with a pretty convincing score, 3-0. The three successful home goals scored by Pedro Rodriguez, Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
In addition to putting one foot in the quarter-finals, victory over Kiev also became Maurizio Sarri’s fourth victory from the last five matches in all competitions. Seeing the increased performance of the Blues, Ruben Loftus-Cheek was optimistic that his team would be able to maintain momentum and finish in the top four while becoming champions of the Europa League.
“We lost and won together. Now the opportunity for Chelsea to end the season by being in the top four while winning the Europa League is not closed and can still be realized. We will also play some important matches soon,” said Loftus Cheek quoted by Evening Standard reported.
“If I and my teammates can win the Europa League, it will feel very fantastic, even if Chelsea can end the season in the top four. At the moment we are in positive momentum, I hope the team will be able to look consistent, “he added.
Not only hoping his team could maintain consistency, but Loftus-Cheek also talked about the issue of rifts in the squad. The player who had been loaned to Crystal Palace was firmly denied.
“Yes, we have experienced good and bad moments, but one thing to know, the players remain compact and live this together,” added Loftus-Cheek.
“After two big defeats against Bournemouth and Manchester City, all the things that have been built by this team can indeed be destroyed, but what happened instead, we completed everything in the dressing room, remained compact and togetherness in the team was also getting stronger, “he concluded.
