Chelsea should be ashamed of Bournemouth defeat, says Rudiger | Football News

Germany: The international challenges the Blues to show their true face with many things at stake in February

Chelsea should be ashamed of how he was defeated in Bournemouth, according to Antonio Rudiger.

The Blues were stunned in the second half at Vitality Stadium after losing four Premier League goals and for the first time in over 22 years.

"Everyone must be ashamed of what happened in the last game," said the German international Rudiger.

"Everyone needs to think deeply about this because you can win, lose or shoot, but that's the way that's important.

"In the second half, I can not really describe it, we went out and they scored after two minutes, then things went really bad, nothing came from us – N & # 39; Golo [Kante] had a half chance but that was all.

"If you look at the football point of view, we made it too easy for Bournemouth to lose the ball in front of goal, and everyone knows that Bournemouth is coming to the counter and waiting for him.

"We played better this season and that's what hurts, we have not really tried to change that result, that's what's bad."

Rudiger asked for an answer after a performance that, in his opinion, was not similar to a team claiming to be a high level and insisted on the importance of going back to basics.

"We call ourselves a high-level team, but that can not happen to us," he added. "We have to be strong mentally for the rest of the season.

"It's clear now, we are Chelsea, there has been a lot of criticism from outside, but here we must be serene and honest with ourselves.

"The tactics are not my business because I am not the coach, I am a player, but everyone must engage again.

Rudiger wants Chelsea to return to the basics after his heavy defeat at Bournemouth

"If we were talking about last season, we were strong in defense, the system was different, but we have to go back to basics, because it's not normal for a Bournemouth player to face four defenders.

"These basic principles are to win challenges, to look for challenges.It's good if you have possession of it, but everyone needs to know what is his job, that is, to say, to be above all a blank sheet.

"We have to find continuity because there are too many ups and downs, we have to win against Huddersfield and show a big reaction after the defeat of Bournemouth."

Maurizio Sarri admits he did not intend to take over as Chelsea's head coach would prove so difficult.

Perhaps the only bright spot of Chelsea's defeat at Bournemouth could be the alarm bell of Maurizio Sarri's team before February.

The Blues will face Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham in the Premier League before ending the month by defeating City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

"This month, we will show our true face, everyone must be ready for it," says Rudiger. "There are a lot of things on the line.

"The result of this month will show the direction we are going in. Everyone needs to know what's going on right now, if you think as an individual, you will fail."
