The fact that Chelsea needs to grasp a lot and learn fast comes from the exasperation of divulging the late goal conceded against Southampton.
The indication comes from the unbiased judgment of Chelsea’s new signing, Hakim Ziyech. He also urged that the Blues cannot allow that to occur again as it would be a problem later in the League to lose points.
For Chelsea, it was a vexing fate to the end of the game. We found Ziyech made an honest statement about the match and after assessing his reviews issued a serious warning for his teammates. The late goal did not go quite well as expected.
The Moroccan international footballer, after his debut with the Blues against Southampton, told in a post-match interview with the club website.
“Of course it will take time, but we also don’t have time, because the games are coming really quick, so we have to learn quickly.”
He was clear that the moment was to teach them something, but that is not possible at the last minute, anyway. Although the game was not a long lost one as there were a series of opportunities showcased.
“This is a moment we can learn from, but it can’t happen at the last minute,” he added.
For instance, Timo Werner earned his first two goals in the Premier League. Kai Havertz, his peer summer signing, also got his chance to be on the scoresheet for the first time.
Topping all that, the Chelsea midfielder Ziyech, was not all negative about the team. According to him, the club had a fair chance to go forward. The Moroccan international, after his first minutes for Chelsea in the Premier League, said that there were positive signs for the team.
It is now time for Chelsea to turn their concentration and focus towards the Champions League. The team is appointed to greet and receive the Spanish side, Sevilla in the home game for the incoming UCL group stage match.
