Filip Jorgensen has insisted that the problem faced by the Blues defensively will be solved before they play Manchester City in the Premier League.
Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen insists that the squad will work on fixing their defensive problem shown during pre-season, this comes after the Blues fell to aa 2-1 defeat to the European Champions Real Madrid.
Lukas and Diaz gave the Spanish side the lead before Madueke pulled one back in the first half of the game.
The Blues lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in Charlotte, a defeat which gave volume to their pressing issues both playing out from the back and with their high defensive line, which Jorgensen stated will be addressed before the start of the season.
When asked about the poor defending that has seen Chelsea concede 12 goals in five matches, Jorgensen stated that: “We have to work on a few things. Also me, I think I should be a bit higher when the line is so high, but we will work on that.
“I could also be more high to make a bit less space between me and them [the defenders]. We will get to know each other and we will work on some things. We still have two weeks before the Premier League starts.”
Maresca previously called Chelsea’s defending with a high line “suicide” after the 4-1 defeat to Celtic where they failed to press well. But the Blues have another friendly against Inter Milan to work on their tactics before facing Manchester City on 18 August.
Jorgensen continued to explain that he is not the number one and must compete with Robert Sanchez despite starting at the Bank of America stadium, adding: “No, no… I have a very good relationship with Robert [Sanchez]. He welcomed me very well and I think we are doing some good training sessions together.”
