After losing to Chelsea 1-2 in the League Cup, Lincoln City coach Skubala said in an interview with the BBC that the team performed very positively in the game.
About this game
-While we didn't achieve the ideal result, it's a bit frustrating to see how the team performed in the first half, the players played very well, and few teams could press Chelsea as tight as they did tonight.
We were very positive in the game and had the advantage. In the first 15 minutes, Chelsea could barely organize the offensive from their backcourt, and we also hit a post. The fans here have created a great atmosphere and I am proud of the overall performance of the team.
I respect Maresca very much because he has brought some big-name players to the court. Until the final stage of the game, we were still struggling to score goals. In about 5 minutes, their high-quality performance hurt us.
About Chelsea's quick adjustment
- We know that they may switch to a double midfield formation during the break, and that's true. We know this will happen, but we become a little passive. Our defense became passive, which gave them more room. The ball fell at George's feet and he completed a wonderful shot. If the ball hits the outside of the post, we will be lucky. We may be a little panicked after that, but I think we reorganized well and started to re-control the situation, just not creating enough opportunities.
