Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella remains optimistic that the Blues will recover from their recent setbacks and get back to winning ways despite Monday’s 2-0 Premier League defeat to Ipswich Town, Softfootball reports.
The disappointing result dealt another blow to Chelsea’s title ambitions and left Enzo Maresca’s side without a win in their last three league matches. However, Cucurella believes the team has shown enough quality this season to respond positively.
The Spain international urged his teammates to put the defeat behind them and focus on improving ahead of their next fixture in the new year. He insisted Chelsea should not allow recent results to overshadow the progress they have made during the first half of the campaign.
Cucurella admitted the Blues lost control after conceding an early goal and became too eager to force their way back into the contest, leading to costly mistakes. He stressed the importance of sticking to the team’s playing style and maintaining composure in difficult moments.
The defender also expressed confidence that the January schedule will provide valuable time for the squad to work on their weaknesses and regain momentum. He concluded by saying Chelsea have exceeded many expectations this season and must continue working hard to achieve their objectives.
