Chelsea’s defender, Kurt Zouma thinks that their successive defeats in the Premier League have not affected the confidence of the team. The defender insisted that Chelsea must find ways to return back to winning terms by beating West Ham in order to be in the top four of the league table.
Chelsea’s undefeated streak came to an end when Everton defeated them last weekend and the loss was followed by yet another defeat at Molineux. The Blues decided to go all out for the game against Wolves and that is when Wolves struck a late winner to win the match 2-1.
Both the games were very narrow and Chelsea could have easily earned at least a point from the last game. The duration between the two fixtures of Wolves and West Ham was long enough for the players to get ample rest amidst the congested fixture. These days of rest were certainly required and it was well appreciated by Zouma as well. The French defender played in all the matches except one game so far.
‘It’s a difficult season because there are so many games to play in a short period of time, so it was nice to switch off a little bit,’ Zouma told as per the Official Chelsea website.
‘But we have a big squad and we have to be ready, especially with the two last games we lost. We have to bounce back. There is no other solution, no other way. We have to win on Monday. We know it will be tough,’ he continued.
‘West Ham are playing good at the minute, they have had some great results, but we have to be ready for that. We are confident. We are playing at home, unfortunately there won’t be fans but let’s do our job. We will fight for the three points, that’s it.
‘There is no stress in the team, everyone is still confident, and we are going to win this game.’
He insisted that despite the two defeats, his team is calm and optimistic. The Blues are wanting to go back to winning ways and climb up the ladder to the top of the table.
