Aursnes admits after Chelsea v Benfica: I must do better | OneFootball

Fredrik Aursnes expressed his disappointment with the defeat in Chelsea - Benfica, and explained that he had opportunities to score during the match. The versatile Eagles player spoke to journalists in the usual flash interview after the referee’s final whistle of the Champions League match.

“It was a tough game against a tough opponent. We were always in the match and we always believed. In the second half we had good chances, I could have scored twice, I need to do better. We always believed in a comeback in the second half. We played a good game, against a good team, but it wasn’t enough,” Fredrik Aursnes began by explaining.

The Norwegian midfielder from Benfica was again questioned about the defeat, but once more reinforced the same message he had already conveyed: “During the match we always thought it was possible. But of course, it’s disappointing to lose, I think we could have taken more from here.”

“They helped with the full-backs in midfield, but we changed a bit at halftime, pushed higher, put on more pressure, I think we were better,” added Fredrik Aursnes, mentioning some adjustments by José Mourinho during the match.

The Benfica midfielder finished with a special word for the red fans who were present at Stamford Bridge and made themselves heard throughout the match: “They are fantastic. You can see how many were here today, they supported us a lot, gave us a boost, it was really great.”
