EPL We played eye to eye with them – Marco Silva on why Chelsea didn’t beat Fulham. The manager of Fulham, Marco Silva, has provided an explanation for why the expensive Chelsea club was unable to defeat his team on Friday night during a Premier League 0-0 tie.
Many Chelsea supporters are frustrated that Graham Potter’s team failed to score a goal against their London rivals on Friday night after spending more than 300 million pounds in the January transfer window.
The Blues are still in ninth place in the Premier League standings as a result of the scoreless draw at Stamford Bridge. And Silva said that his team adhered to the game plan and understood it completely.
A legitimate derby. An excellent derby from us. The guys truly grasped the strategy from the outset and carried it out flawlessly. We came here to take on the task and go head-to-head with Chelsea. Silva spoke to Sky Sports following the game.
I instructed the players to outperform their performance from the last match at the Cottage, and they complied. We earned the points, in my opinion, because of the way we constantly attempted to move forward and how well we responded when we lost the ball.
They pushed us back in the waning seconds of the game, which is typical, but our organization was excellent.
