Chelsea shockingly lost to newly promoted team, coach exclaimed 'too bad!'

TPO - Coach Enzo Maresca used the harshest words to comment on Chelsea players' performance when they lost 1-3 to Leeds.

Early this morning in round 14 of the Premier League, Chelsea suffered a surprising defeat against Leeds, a team in the relegation race. In the first half, Chelsea had 73% possession but Leeds led by 2 goals. In the 6th minute, the away team's net shook after a powerful header by Jaka Bijol. At the end of the first half, Ao Tanaka unleashed an unstoppable shot from 25 meters away, bringing the score to 2-0.

Chelsea tried to fight back in the second half but all they could get was a consolation goal. The team conceded another goal to leave with a 1-3 defeat, the most forgettable since the beginning of the campaign.

This defeat has fans questioning even more in the context of Chelsea's big win over Barcelona and just held a one-man draw against Arsenal. Even coach Enzo Maresca was puzzled by his players' performance.

“It was a very bad performance, for sure. They were better than us in every aspect. I try to analyse and learn from this game and focus on the next game,” he said.

We had a lot of the ball and we were 2-0 down. It's not about possession. Possession is about achieving goals. We didn't achieve any of them. They were better than us in every way today and deserved to win. Congratulations to them.

When you play well against Barcelona and Arsenal, you expect a better performance tonight. But it's not always possible."

According to this coach, the biggest problem was that Chelsea played without concentration: “That's the reality. In the Premier League, you need to try hard in every match, regardless of home or away, regardless of the opponent. We lost concentration. In the air, on the pitch, in duels, in second balls... In all aspects, they were better than us.”
