Marcelo Bielsa: We didn’t press well enough
Head coach on Chelsea defeat.
Marcelo Bielsa gave his thoughts after his side were defeated at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.
Leeds went into the match unbeaten in two games, but were defeated 3-1 by Chelsea in West London.
The Blues moved to the top of the Premier League, with the Whites moving down one place to 13th and Bielsa gave his verdict on the outcome.
“The result was fair and the difference was fair,” Bielsa explained.
“It was very difficult for us to maintain the score at 1-1 and we would have needed to defend better.
“It was because we didn’t press well enough at the start of the game when they played out through their centre backs, that’s why they dominated.
“We needed to make playing out more uncomfortable for them.
“Although we didn’t create many chances, the difficulty in the game was not neutralising them when they were playing out from the back.”
