Bournemouth played a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Chelsea, maintaining a clean sheet. After the match, Jorge Petrovic praised the team's overall focus. He stated that the point perfectly reflected the intensity of the game, with both sides creating numerous chances but failing to break through the opponent's defense. Although the team's midweek result against Everton was somewhat disappointing, Petrovic acknowledged their rebound in this match.
Jorge Petrovic said: "I think the draw is a reasonable result, and keeping a clean sheet makes the point even more valuable. We created chances, and so did they, and the game was very competitive. Although we didn't perform well against Everton, we were clearly in better form today. The team's focus and positive attitude were a major advantage for us."
In this closely contested match, any mistake could be magnified. Djokovic emphasized the crucial importance of maintaining discipline off the ball. He stated, "You have to be highly focused in these kinds of games because the outcome can often be decided in an instant."
“Part of this job is to stay highly focused even when the pace of the game is slow. Communicating, assisting the defense, and maintaining formation keep us alert. I made a few key saves myself, but the whole team performed exceptionally well. Achieving a clean sheet requires the collective effort of every player.”
"We created several good scoring opportunities in the second half, and of course, there was a goal in the first half that was disallowed. I hope we can break the deadlock in the next game, because I think we should have scored today."
