After Chelsea beat Man United 4-3, see what Ten Hag said about his Players

Following the intense 4-3 defeat against Chelsea Football Club, Eric Ten Hag shares his reflections on his players’ performances.

In the aftermath of Manchester United’s dramatic 4-3 defeat to Chelsea football club, Eric Ten Hag shares his candid thoughts on his team’s performance and the outcome of the match.

At Stamford Bridge in the Premier League showdown, Chelsea emerged victorious with a thrilling 4-3 triumph over Manchester United. Cole Palmer’s remarkable hat-trick, including two goals in stoppage time, secured the win for the Blues.

Reflecting on the match, Eric Ten Hag acknowledges the team’s poor start, particularly in defense, but commends their dominance and brilliance in gameplay. He emphasizes the importance of collective effort, highlighting the need for better decision-making and concentration, especially in critical moments.

“You have to do your job. They know their jobs, and then they have to make the right decisions, and they didn’t do that.“

Ten Hag expresses frustration over the conceded shots and defensive lapses, stressing the team’s need to improve and learn from such setbacks.

“It is ridiculous. We showed we were fourth-ranking in conceding, and everyone is talking to each other after. We are good, and we have good defending as a team and a good goalkeeper, so I cannot do anything.”

“In five days, we dropped five points. That is unacceptable. We should have a high standard if we want to compete in the Champions League.”

Despite the disappointment of the result, he remains optimistic about the team’s resilience and determination to bounce back.

While acknowledging the high quality of football displayed, Ten Hag emphasizes the importance of translating performance into consistent results over time. He underscores the players’ responsibility to execute their roles effectively and make the right decisions on the field.

Despite the defeat, Ten Hag praises the team’s fighting spirit and character, affirming their readiness to face future challenges with resolve.

As Chelsea climbs the table with the win, Manchester United’s aspirations of closing the gap in the top four are hindered, raising questions about their prospects for Champions League qualification.

“I don’t know if the top four are gone. I have to see the ranking again. Points will be more expensive. It’s very disappointing that we’re doing this and making the wrong decisions. We gave away a game we should have won. As a team, we should deal with this.”

In the wake of this setback, Eric Ten Hag remains introspective, recognizing the need for improvement and a higher standard of performance to compete at the highest level.

Despite the disappointment, he reaffirms his belief in the team’s ability to rise to the occasion and deliver when it matters most.

“I enjoyed how my team was playing; it was fantastic. We dominated the ball; we dominated the opponent.”

“The team will be there on Sunday. They have character. They showed it today, fighting ourselves into the game,” he concluded.
