Star claims club can’t afford to lose a single game
Nemanja Matic has claimed that the Blues can’t afford to lose a single game if they want to win the title, pointing to former club Benfica for proof, reports the Mirror.
“I have been on a run like this before, at Benfica, when we went unbeaten for nearly the whole season. We lost the title in the penultimate game of the season when we lost for the first time against Porto, who went on to win the title,” he told reporters.
“We played really well the whole season and were unbeaten for so long. But Porto also won every game. It was so hard to take. We lost the title, the Europa League and the Portugese Cup in two weeks. These things happen maybe once in a thousand years.
“But it shows what can happen and it’s a lesson for Chelsea. It shows you can never be certain of anything in football. If we want to win the Premier League, we must continue playing like this in every game – right until the end.”
