Tonight, in the 20th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea fought Crystal Palace away to a 1-1 draw. After the match, Chelsea star Sancho opened up to the British media and talked about his insights into the match.
Sancho said bluntly, "We were amazing tonight, and we were in control of almost the whole game. But the goal we conceded at the end of the game was a heavy blow. As the coach emphasized in the locker room, we had to take advantage of our chances in the second half to seal the win. If we could have scored another goal, our opponents might have been more conservative, thus providing us with more space. Unfortunately, this did not happen and we can only face the reality, learn from our mistakes and move on."
Speaking about Chelsea's missed opportunities, Sancho said, "We created a lot of threats in front of the opponent's goal tonight, but the key is to capitalize on those chances. We're still playing at full strength, as we have been in recent weeks. But that's the way soccer is sometimes, you create chances and you don't always convert them into goals. But we won't give up and will keep working hard to improve our performance."
Sancho was thrilled with his assist: "I was able to pass the ball between my legs and the defender didn't even realize it. I immediately rushed forward to receive the ball and found Palmer in the center of the field in time. He was able to get the ball in the center of the field, and with a great shot, he scored the goal for the team. The goal showed our teamwork and reinforced our belief that if we keep this up, victory will come."
Finally, Sancho expressed his gratitude to the coaching team: "I am very honored to be able to participate in consecutive matches, and the coaches always make me feel highly valued. Here, I feel the warmth of home. I will do my best to contribute to the team. I believe that if we work together, Chelsea will have more victories."
