“This club belongs in the Champions League, but it’s not easy to do that in the Premier League. It is a tough and strong league where many teams are fighting for the same goal. But we did it, so we can have a good season behind us” stated the Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag.
The Dutch coach said in connection with the match that they had problems at the back in the first half, but they improved after the break. He emphasized that they should have scored their second goal first, and overall they could have scored more. He didn’t like the open game, they gave too much space to Chelsea, but the most important thing is that they got the fourth place, which marks the start of the Champions League.
THE Chelsea acting head coach, Frank Lampard he highlighted the use of situations by the teams.
“Manchester United were relentless in front of goal. We were better in the middle of the match. We competed with them in ball possession and creation of situations, and we even had more opportunities to score goals. But the fact that we were down two to zero in this situation says everything about where we are now” explained the club legend. He added that in the second half they defended very poorly, they were inaccurate in front of the goal, but MU was not, and that is why this result came about.
“There is potential in the team, but reality hit us in the face again. We have to work to change things he declared. – We are ending a bad season, but this has happened to many clubs.”
Lampard recalled that Chelsea had great success in the last 20 years.
