Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso, gave an interview to the BBC microphones after the 5-1 victory against Bournemouth in a Premier League match.
Alonso said: "I wouldn't say it was a crazy match: there were different moments. In some situations we suffered, but that's okay. The important thing is that the boys showed great character, desire to win and quality. We were very good in the finishing phase, but we have to improve in the defensive phase. For example, we haven't had a clean sheet yet and we have to work on this to win games even with a score of 1-0, 2-0. It's a question of trust, of habit. That will come too."
On Nicolas Jackson, who scored a brace, the Spanish coach said: "Nicolas needs goals, he needs to feel important, to feel decisive and today (yesterday for those reading this) he had this feeling. He did very well, he made the right movements, he knew how to attack spaces and he also made some good plays connecting with his teammates, so I'm very happy for him."
