Cahill: We can't be intimidated

Chelsea captain, Gary Cahill said Chelsea can not be intimidated by opponents who wish to knock them off their game. Chelsea have been a victim of rough and over aggressive treatment in recent matches, notably against Manchester United in the quarter final of the FA Cup and against Stoke City in the English Premier League.

Cahill believes that adaption to different conditions is the key to finishing the season as champions of England


He said: “It’s a case of adapting to different situations. Sometimes we have played our football and everything goes nicely but it’s not always going to be like that. Teams won’t always let you do that and they shouldn’t, either.

"For example, there was a lot of stop and start in the first half in our win at Stoke, fouls and heated situations which could have boiled over.

"We could have got into a scrap with them but they would have been the ones to benefit. It’s just about managing the situations and still playing our football. The manager stresses all the time that we still need to do the things we need to do.”
