Di Matteo: I expected more from Chelsea

6.08.2012

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of his team in pre-season tests. The last of these "the blues" conceded embarrassingly defeat with 1:3 by second division Brighton, whose coach is former football player of Londoners Gustavo Poyet.

Previously, the European champions have lost from Milan with 0:1 and from the composite team of stars in Major League Soccer with 2:3.

Di Matteo explained the negative results that he can not yet rely on all players. "We have not yet gathered the whole team," said the Italian. "Some players are here only from 9 days, other - 16, third - from 21 and some have not yet returned yet. Only when this happens, we will be able to work together. "

"I expected more from my team in terms of the ball possession and movement on the pitch. I was hoping to show a better face than that demonstrated on Saturday against Brighton. We were too torn, not aggressive enough and did not regain the ball, once we lose it, "said Di Matteo.
