At St. James’ Park, Chelsea controlled the ball and the number of shots, but two rapid goals from Newcastle halfway through the first half were the game-winning goals. Veiga quickly pointed out that both were preventable from our point of view, but the opportunities we had to return to the game may have changed the outcome significantly.

Veiga said, “We handled it well, but we had that ten-minute stretch with the two goals where we couldn’t keep our balance.”

We lacked VAR, so the first goal was regrettable whether it was a foul or not. After the first goal, we cannot give up the second. We must maintain our composure and, as the coach stated before halftime, avoid giving up a goal in that manner from a free kick. It is what it is, though. We had our opportunities.On our end, the game went well. We’ll learn from the mistakes and preserve the good. Football was the game, and we played it according to the plan. It’s unexpected, which makes it the “beautiful game.”

We’ll perform better if we take a chance. We concentrate on our sphere of influence. After concentrating on the Premier League and the Conference League, we proceed.It won’t take long for Veiga and his teammates to make amends. On Sunday, we head back north to play Manchester United in an attempt to win at Old Trafford for the first time since 2013. Veiga is anticipating it already.

“As Chelsea, we aim to win every game and then move on,” Veiga remarked. “Nothing changes; we simply lost a game and were eliminated; that’s just a part of football.” “We move on and prioritize the positives above all else.”
