Mateo Kovacic urges his team mates to ‘wake up’ ahead of massive Spurs game

Well, we are all saying it, it’s nice to see a player say it to. Because they ALL absolutely need to wake up!

There have been some awful results for Chelsea this season, especially at the place that used to be a fortress, a place that teams were scared to come and play at – Stamford Bridge.

It’s embarrassing at times this season, especially when Chelsea are the better team, but the result ends up looking like they are in the league below their opponent at times.

Everyone has had their opinion on where and why it is going wrong, but whatever it is, it needs to be sorted out right now.

Chelsea have the biggest game of their season on Saturday at home to Tottenham. The visitors are just one point behind Chelsea in the league now and if The Blues want Champions League qualification, this is an absolute must win.

One player who more often than not does not deserve to be on the losing side is midfielder Mateo Kovacic, and he has spoke some truths here, as reported be WAGNH.

He said:

“We are still fourth so we are still in a good position but we need to wake up because they are coming from behind. We need to play these next games like we were playing in the beginning of the season and change some things as well, obviously.

“It was a good game from us, we played well, like we have for more or less the whole season, but we made some silly mistakes and we lost the points. We are still a very young team and we need to improve a lot. Now we will see if we are a great team because we have some tough matches to fight for the fourth position and we need to show ourselves.

“We need to improve a lot because we have tough games ahead of us and we have to be focused. We have to train hard every day, to prepare our games better and try to avoid our mistakes because we are making too many mistakes in these kind of matches and you get punished.

“We have a good week ahead of us to prepare for Tottenham and to play a good match. We know this match means a lot for us because Tottenham are close behind us so we need to prepare ourselves quite a lot to win this game at home.”
