Oscar demands Chelsea response

Oscar says that Chelsea must bounce quickly after losing their last two matches.

Chelsea midfielder Oscar has told his teammates that they must respond quickly after their shock defeat in the Champions League.

The Blues lost 2-1 to Swiss champions Basel in their opening match of Group E on Wednesday, having led at the break thanks to the Brazilian's opener.

"We played well in the first half and at the start of the second, but we conceded a goal that destabilised the team and then fell behind," Oscar told reporters.

"It happens, but we do have to make up for it in the next game with a win. The system worked well today, but the ball just would not go in the net; we hit the bar, [Eden] Hazard went close. We had plenty of chances to make it 2-0 but ended up losing."

The loss marks Chelsea's worst start to a season under Roman Abramovich.
