Rosenior denies rift with Chelsea players and blames lack of fight and belief

After leading the team to a 0-3 defeat to Brighton, Chelsea manager Rosenior attended the press conference. The following is a transcript of the press conference.

Talking about the loss

I want to say from a basic perspective, from the perspective of the self-esteem that players should have, this kind of performance is unacceptable. I have always defended the players, saying that the responsibility lies with me. But after tonight's game, the players need to look in the mirror. Tonight's performance is unacceptable.

Is there a disconnection between you and the players?

Judging from the performance on the field, it may be the case, but I don't think there is really a disconnection between me and the players. It is the players' lack of fighting spirit and lack of belief that led to this perception from the outside, which I cannot refute.

The fans' songs

Note: During the game, the fans sang "Get out, Rosenior"

I understand their frustration. As the club's manager, the responsibility lies with me. I need to examine the team's playing style and my selection strategy.

Is it difficult to reverse the current decline?

I am an emotional person, and this kind of performance is unacceptable. We lost 80% of the duels, and we were completely at a disadvantage in the header contest. No matter what level, you can't win a football game by making these mistakes.

Are the players fighting for you?

For now, regardless of whether they are fighting for me, the key is to fight for the club. The performance on the field itself is enough to explain everything.

Is there a risk that you are so outspoken and ruthless?

I will always be honest with each other, and I am the same with the players. This kind of performance is unacceptable. You represent Chelsea, and I coach Chelsea. If you can't bear this pressure, you shouldn't be here. This problem must be solved. I need to work with the coaching staff around the clock to make the right decisions for Sunday's key battle.
