Alex Scott praised the team's tenacity and improvement on the defensive end.


Following their 2-2 draw against Chelsea away from home, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott praised the team's resilience and noticeable improvement in defense. He noted that the team maintained good discipline and fighting spirit at Stamford Bridge, coming back from behind to equalize and take a valuable point from one of the Premier League's most attacking teams.  

 

After the match, Alex Scott said: "This is a positive result. We played better than before and showed a stronger fighting spirit. It's never easy to get good results away from Chelsea. Although our possession wasn't ideal in the second half, our defense was excellent, which is a huge improvement for us, and scoring two goals from set pieces is also very encouraging."  

 

"The first half saw frequent transitions between offense and defense, and the opponent may have had a slight advantage in the second half. However, we showed a strong desire to win, and our defense was more solid than in recent weeks. In the new year, we must continue to work hard and strive for continuous improvement."  

 

Alex Scott noted positive signs in the match, particularly Bournemouth's solid defensive formation in the second half, which ultimately secured a draw. After halftime, despite Chelsea continuing to apply pressure, Scott felt the team's defensive attitude was very focused and serious.  

 

He said, "Although it's a pity we couldn't hold off two shots from the opponent, we chose to focus on the positives and eventually got a point. The team's close cooperation in the second half was impressive, thanks to everyone's efforts. Despite the huge pressure from the opponent, we still did our best to improve our defensive performance. Our recent form has been a bit sluggish, and we haven't won for a long time, but this game shows that the team is steadily improving."
