Chelsea played out a tough match in Frank Lampard’s Stamford Bridge homecoming on Sunday afternoon, drawing 1-1 with Leicester City.
Chelsea came out firing in the first 15 minutes, with Mason Mount getting the opening goal.
But it didn’t last long and the visitors soon started gaining a stronghold in the game. Chelsea ended up probably being the happier of the two sides with a point, with The Foxes having the better of the second half.
Lampard’s side lacked the intensity they have been showing in his first two competitive matches so far, and failed to impress.
But it is only game day two in the Premier League and there will be no panicking at this stage, even though they will be very keen to get their first win.
Blues defender Kurt Zouma, who had a much better game on Sunday, is not concerned right now and believes the team will get much better.
Speaking to Goal, he said:
“He wants us to press very high and keep the intensity high. Unfortunately we didn’t do it today [against Leicester] but in the previous game, we did it well I think.
“We just need to score more goals. The work rate has to be high all the time for 90 minutes.
“That’s what we are trying to do and that’s what we have to do next week to win. We were tired. We tried to press but we didn’t have the legs so maybe we have to stay back more, control the game a bit more, try to keep the ball a bit better.
“But these are the things we learn. We will learn throughout the season. There is a long way to go and we are not worried.
“We are Chelsea. We are a big club. We wanted to win today. Unfortunately, we couldn’t and next week has to be a win of course. Every game has to be a win.”
