Silva praised the team's first-half performance, stating that they executed their game plan well and controlled the pace of the match. He noted that they mixed up their play effectively, using short passes from the back and varying their approach to counter Chelsea's man-to-man strategy.
The manager expressed disappointment that his team did not maintain their level of play in the second half, failing to create clear scoring opportunities and allowing Chelsea to gain control of the game.
Silva believed that the second goal conceded was particularly harsh, and that a draw would have been a fair outcome given the balance of the match.
