Live on May 2, 2019 Chelsea lost 1-0 to Everton in the 35th round of the Premier League, and In an interview after the game, Cheek talked about the match.
"We were all very disappointed, we knew what the atmosphere was like when we came into the game, it was like their final, we felt it right away," Cheek said. ”
"As soon as the second half came up they found out we weren't in shape and since then they've been fighting an uphill battle with the fans behind them and it's hard to be able to break them down, it's disappointing. We've made some mistakes in the last few games, there were no clean sheets against the opponent due to personal turnovers, but that's football. ”
Speaking of missteps, Cheek said: "It's up to us individually and as a team to adjust and improve, to prepare everyone, that's the foundation of football. If you don't have those foundations, then you're going to play like we've had in the last four games, it's not the level Chelsea should have, our focus isn't focused enough. ”
"We want to be in the top four, but we can't do as well as other teams around us. We need to win, and it's hard for us to handle it for now, and when the emotions calm down, we'll take a good look back. We had a lot of chances to score in today's game, the opposing goalkeeper made a wonderful save and if we could score those goals, I think we could have a win. ”
Commenting on AZP's missteps that led to goals conceded, Cheek said: "This kind of thing happens to anybody and I don't remember when it happened in his career. But that's one of them, and I'm sure he'll put that behind anytime soon because we have some big races to play. He's a very good player and no one is going to blame anyone else. ”
