Chelsea striker, Olivier Giroud has come out to say that he and his teammates played to win vs Atletico Madrid. He recently revealed that Chelsea knew they could give the La Liga leaders trouble offensively, so they went for it.
According to him, the team has been strong defensively recently, so the players had to do everything possible to get the much needed away goal.
He, however, added that Chelsea must stay focused to finish the job, because the tie is far from over.
His words, “We came here with strong intentions to win the game, play our game and we know how we could give them trouble offensively,”
“We have been strong at the back in the defensive shape and very pleased with the win, it was a deserved win tonight.”
“We know the importance of the away goal in European cups so that is why I was pleased to help the team win the game, we managed it well and we were confident but faced a great team and I think we were very committed and knew their main strengths. We dealt with it but we have to stay focused and complete the job.”
“Not overconfident, we were confident in our qualities in the game. I did not know what to think about the goal, I just focused on hitting the overhead kick and was pleased to see it go in the back of the net, I had no clue about being offside, Mason Mount said he did not touch the ball. Good for the team, good for me.”
