Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal yesterday, a frustrating result considering the Blues took the lead. Their new defender Maxence Lacroix spoke a little about his team’s feelings on the game.
“We are a little bit unhappy, of course, after losing, but I believe that we did well to be honest,” said Lacroix.
“We just have to adjust some points. I think it’s not easy to play there but we did good. We accept the loss but we want to learn from it. I think it’s good to learn about the mistakes and all the wrong parts. We have to go forward and go again.”
Chelsea improving under Alonso despite bad result
These kind of statements about “going again” start to grate after a while when results are consistently bad, but in this case we can excuse them. Chelsea genuinely did compete in the game, which is more than you could say for their last few efforts against Arsenal.
There is a long way to go, but any signs of progress are welcome right now, and even in defeat yesterday, we saw some.
