Loftus-Cheek charges Chelsea teammates to do one thing for the remaining games; Here’s what he said.
Here is one thing we need to do to win the remaining games we have and here it is.
Cheek has called on Chelsea teammates to show pride in the final week of the Premier League season.
Loftus-Cheek featured in defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.
“You know what can happen here if they’re on their game and on fire. They can really dismantle teams. City were fantastic this season, even when it doesn’t look like they will win the league they always find a way. That is the kind of ruthlessness we want to get back to because Chelsea have had that,” he said after the 1-0 loss.
“City weren’t at their brilliant best but they still posed a threat and we made it difficult for them. A mistake for the goal can happen but other than that I think we had most the chances and for the most part, challenged them. It was a decent performance. We didn’t have that finishing touch at the end but we played some good football at times and defended well. It’s one of those and it is why they are champions.”
Chelsea are at Manchester United this week before completing the season at home against Newcastle.
Loftus-Cheek told chelseafc.com: “It is now all about our pride and sticking together. We want to finish to season strong because you don’t want to lose games no matter if it doesn’t mean anything. It is about us playing well for ourselves, the club and the fans because we owe that to the club. It was good to come here and have a test, and that should give us confidence going into the final two games.
“I don’t want to give all the excuses under the sun why we are where we are, but its been very difficult. It was up to us players to step up and ignore the noise. A lot changed, things we haven’t felt before,’ the midfielder added.
“Now, we have to look towards next season and getting that mentality ready and get us out of this whole. We don’t want this season leaking into the next. We have to get in the right frame of mind to get us ready to start next season firing.”
