Chelsea ManagerChelsea’s
interim Manager Rafa Benitez has criticized his players after their bleak
performance at West Ham United on Saturday which saw the European champions bow
to the Hammers in a 3-1 defeat.
Chelsea who started the game
on a bright note after taking the lead through a Juan Mata’s goal also
controlled possession to 83 – 17%.
The 52-year-old has admitted
his current squad (aside injured captain John Terry and Frank Lampard) lack
winning spirit.
“We have some of them, “he
said. “But, obviously, we have also players who are injured who will come back
and they will give another character or something different.”
He also acknowledged the fact
that most players in the current Chelsea squad like to possess the ball but are
not strong without the ball.
“And when you are not in
possession, physically, you have to cope and manage with players who are quite
strong and we didn’t do it well.”
Chelsea plays FC Nordsjaelland
in the final fixtures of the UEFA Champions League at Stamford Bridge on
Wdnesday.
