Boss ‘deflated’ after Chelsea draw
Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo spoke of his disappointment following his side’s 2-2 draw with Juventus in a pulsating Champions League tussle at Stamford Bridge.
Oscar’s double – which included a magnificent 25-yard strike – put the European champions in control.
But the Italians hit back and, despite only managing two shots on target, were good value for their point.
Di Matteo told Sky Sports: “It was a very good football game and both teams could have won it. We had chances to get a third goal and probably close the game but it was probably a deserved draw.
“We were in a great position to win the game and only got a draw but we knew we were playing a quality side.
“We made a couple of mistakes on their goals but they had good movement and quality finishing as well.
“We feel a bit deflated because we were ahead but it will be a tough group and we move on to the next game now.”
Oscar’s performance on his first start for the club was a definite plus for Di Matteo.
The Blues boss said: “It was a terrific debut for him. We were waiting for the right game to put him into the team and it was wonderful to watch him.
“He played a very big role for us and the second goal was fantastic.”

Good football from the blues but our main problems are from our defence,Petr cech,substitutions and the attitude of our players,anytime they are leading they waits till all thier goals are equalised before they tries to score more which i think should be worked on.I also think Mikel should e talked to,he like back passes too much and is prone to mistakes.
