Aurelio: We can bounce back at Chelsea

30th Sep 2009 - Latest News

Fabio Aurelio is confident Liverpool can bounce back from their Fiorentina defeat when they take on Chelsea in a top of the table clash on Sunday.

The Brazilian defender admits the 2-0 loss in Florence was difficult to take but feels they cannot dwell on the past and is eager to make amends at Stamford Bridge.
 
"We would have hoped for a better result here, but we can't think about that now and must think about the future," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.
 
"We have an important game in the Barclays Premier League against Chelsea on Sunday and we must try to make things right.

"Football is like this. You cannot think in the past, you must always look to the future. Hopefully it will be a different game and we can go there and get a result."
 
A poor first-half in the Stadio Artemio Franchi proved to be Liverpool's undoing as Stevan Jovetic's brace earned the points for La Viola.
 
The Reds improved after the break and, although they went close to reducing the arrears, Aurelio admits the players are frustrated by the result.
 
"I think it was a game of two halves," he said.
 
"In the first-half, Fiorentina started really well and we struggled to play and keep the ball. It meant we were under pressure and made mistakes.
 
"In the second-half we started differently. Maybe they weren't as strong as they had been and it allowed us to manage the game better.
 
"We were able to create chances but unfortunately we didn't take them and couldn't put the pressure on.
 
"We are very disappointed with the result."
