Costa: We have to improve our character and confidence

Diego Costa says Chelseas’s 2-1 loss to FC Porto on Tuesday night was due to the team ‘lacking concentration at key moments’ during the match.

The Blues were narrowly beaten by Porto in the Champions League last night, losing 2-1 in Portugal. Diego Costa, who led the line well and thumped the bar shortly after we had fallen 2-1 behind, felt we should have taken more from the match.

We had the game under control. We knew it was going to be a physical game. We began well. Things changed when they scored, but we quickly equalised. In the second half the same thing happened – we were lacking concentration at key moments of the game.

We are all united.  It’s not a good moment now. We must do more. We have a good squad with a great deal of quality. We have maybe lost some confidence in three or four games.

The manager knows the quality of his team. He knows what we can do. It is the responsibility of all of us. We have to improve our character and confidence.
