Chelsea new boy calls for unity following another defensive disaster show

Kai Havertz calls for Chelsea stars to unite and cut out on mistakes

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website (h/t The Evening Standard), Chelsea star Kai Havertz has called for his teammates to pull together and avoid defensive mistakes.

The Blues once again looked shaky at the back as Southampton put three past them in their Premier League fixture yesterday.

“We’re very frustrated about the result.”

With this, Chelsea have conceded an incredulous nine goals in their first five Premier League games. Unless something is done quickly, we may have to resort to a turkey shoot to have any hope of winning a match.

A Timo Werner brace put us two up against Southampton only for Danny Ings to reduce the deficit before the break. A comical series of events between Kurt Zouma and Kepa Arrizabalaga ensured the Saints drew level in the second half.

Chelsea responded quickly, with Havertz once again putting us ahead. It was not enough as Jannik Vestergaard scored in injury time to deny us all three points.

Havertz had to own up to his share of the blame for Southampton’s opener. He admits that Ings’ goal changed the complexion of the game going into the break.

“We had 42 good minutes in the first-half but then I made a mistake and we conceded a goal, which changed the game a little bit.”

Now that the game is gone, it is time we took the result and moved on. Rather than ponder over what happened, the focus should now be on not repeating the same mistakes in the games to come.

“We have to take responsibility for that; we have 11 players on the pitch and everybody has to work hard so we don’t concede goals like this.”

Havertz believes that the whole team must take responsibility to ensure that every player is at his best and ready to deal with threats when needed.

The result cannot be seen as anything apart from two points dropped. While it was a disappointing day at the office, the result has thrown up a few positives.

One of them is the attitude shown by Havertz. The German ace’s comments hint at fostering team spirit and ensuring each player looks out for the other.

We win as a team and we lose as one. Hopefully, in the days to come, it will be more of the former than the latter.
