Christensen: We can't let them breathe
04 May 2021
Andreas Christensen has spoken about the importance of showing plenty of
steel in defence when we face Real Madrid in the Champions League
semi-finals at Stamford Bridge tomorrow evening.

After a 1-1 draw in last week's first leg in Madrid, Chelsea know that a
clean sheet in west London tomorrow will guarantee us a place in the
Champions League final, thanks to Christian Pulisic's away goal at the
Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
According to the centre-back, he isn't feeling any added pressure on the
defence due to that fact, and believes the key will be to stay calm and
repeat our performance from the first match and our recent games in
general.
'We know that we are a difficult team to play against at the moment, but
at the same time we have so much quality up front and in the way we play,'
Christensen explained. 'So there's no extra pressure from our side, we
will just try to do what we normally do, what we've done for so long now,
and at the same time show our quality going forward.'
He also claimed a big part of that is to continue ensuring we are a team
that opponents hate playing against, with that relentless approach without
the ball contributing immensely to our impressive number of clean sheets
under head coach Thomas Tuchel.
'We changed the system, which obviously worked really well, and every game
we are growing, not just as a back five but as a whole team. We're trying
to be a very difficult team to play against, a horrible team, and then as
soon as we get the ball we want to play good football, quick football,
with a lot of energy.
'Everyone's just trying to work on the same idea, there are new ideas
coming across that we've tried to take onboard very quickly, and at the
moment we're growing and when things work out you gain confidence and
you're just trying to do the same things, work on the same things and make
things work even better than they are at the moment.

Christensen in action in the first leg against Real Madrid
'There's a lot of structure and a lot of discipline involved, especially
when we don't have the ball. We want to bring a lot of energy, we can't
let them breathe too much. We try to be smart about it so we don't run
ourselves out of energy at the top level. As soon as we get the ball we
either take it calm or we take a quick decision to play direct.
'Against teams that are used to having the ball a lot, we might need to
herd them, if that makes sense, and when we have the ball they might not
like to run, so we need to use that. So we are always thinking about what
we can do to help ourselves and there's a lot of details to it.'
If we are successful in that aim of progressing against Real Madrid, it
will mean our first Champions League final appearance since we won the
competition for the first time in 2012. Back then, Christensen was on the
verge of joining the club as a youngster, with the chance of repeating
that success one of the reasons he was keen to come to Stamford Bridge.
'It's something we really want to try and win. That's why we all play
football, for these big trophies,' he added. 'I knew already that I was
going to go to Chelsea when they won it and I was following it very
closely. So I had that hope at the time, and it's still there, that I want
to do that too one day. Everyone at the club wants to be part of this
history.

Pulisic scores our away goal in Madrid
'Obviously I'd just turned 16 so I was quite young and knew it was
probably a long road before I could be a part of it, but the quality that
was at the club and the whole set-up, that was what got me here in the
first place.
'We've been fighting for it again for a long time and it hasn't quite
happened, but I think we are in a good position. We have a good balance
between the young hunger and the more experienced players. We're
definitely looking forward to tomorrow in the sense that it means a lot to
us and the club as a whole.'
