Filip Jorgensen expressed his delight at making his first start for the Blues against Real Madrid but admitted there’s plenty of work to do ahead of the start of the season.
Jorgensen joined the club from Villarreal last month in a deal worth €24.5m and will compete with Robert Sanchez for the number one spot.
The 22-year-old made his first appearance in the win against Club America and was handed an opportunity from the off against the Spanish champions, but the Blues found themselves 2-0 down inside 20 minutes.
Jorgensen happy to make his first start
Despite only winning one of their five games in America there have been some positives to take from the tour and you can see a clear style of play and an identity forming.
Going forward the Blues look good but defensively are where the issues lie with 12 goals conceded in five games, and there’s been a lot of focus on the high defensive line.
Enzo Maresca has spoken of his desire to drop the defensive line by four or five metres and Jorgensen admitted it was something that needs to be worked on.
“I think they are doing good but we have to work on some things,” he told Chelsea’s website.
“Also me, I need to be high when the defensive line is so high, but we can work on that as we have two weeks until the Premier League starts so we will work on that.
“No, I think they do it pretty good and I think I could also be high and make less space. We will get to know each other and will work on some things.”
On a more positive note Jorgensen expressed how happy he was to make his first start for the club, but also admitted he hates losing.
“Of course I am happy to make my first start at this club,” he added.
“For me I love to win and I hate to lose so I am not happy with the result.
“I am happy to get more minutes and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better on and off the pitch, get home and breathe a bit.”
