Chelsea defender Lucy Bronz claimed that her team, “Miles Over”, during the 2-0 defeat against Manchester City in the final round of the Ladies Champions League, but she insisted that the situation can be corrected.
The Vivian Medima alternative ascended to the bench to twice and shoot at a tie leader, and Sonia Bombastor handed its first defeat as Chelsea president, four days after lifting the League Cup.
The Blues faces an arduous battle in the second stage to secure the first Champions League title, although the bronze is confident that it can do this when the two sides meet again in Stamford Bridge on March 27.
“I don’t think we were good enough,” said Bronze TNT SPORTS. “I don’t think we had enough effort in our deserts. We were dirty in our death.
“City was better organized. We were miles away from our game. Sonia said it was at the end of the first half. It improved a little in the second half, but this is clear that when they arrived and got their goals.
“Although we are two goals, we are completely confident that we can turn this.
“You will be the biggest game of this season so far. It is all to play for it. We know that we can score goals. We have goals around the field.”
Although it was the first defeat since it took over the club, Bombastor assumed full responsibility for the result, he also rushed to the bronze confidence in the following meetings with City in the Premier League on Sunday and Europe after four days.
When I was asked about her emotions after the match, Bombastor said: “A lot of frustration. For me, it comes to analysis now.
“I think today is a difficult night and sometimes it happens in football. It is okay for everyone to feel disappointed but tomorrow, we need to analyze performance.
“It is difficult tonight but my job is to make sure tomorrow, we have a positive mentality. What you can control is in the future. We have lost only one game in the season, that was important but that happens.
“I will remain confident in going to the second station. We have a lot of quality in the team and the freshness will be important. We have depth in the team.”
City has already set a plan about how the teams can interact with disappointment after the match -winning Medima admitted how Nick Kushing was “disappointed” after he was shortened in the final against Chelsea in Pride Park at the end of last week.
City asked questions about their opponents all the time, with 17 attempts to the goal in the match, but she was defeated 2-1 after he concluded Yi Hasijawa’s goal to beat the league leaders.
“This must be our standard,” Medima said. “We were really disappointed after Saturday (League Cup Final).
“Today was special, and we hope we can put the same performance next week.
“We have missed many players and I am really happy because we got this result because it gives us confidence and we hope that we can take this to Sunday and the game next week as well.”
