00:00Chelsea's head coach Liam Resenia wants to tackle the issue of red cards by creating a culture of accountability in
00:09the dressing room.
00:10He is unhappy with senior players such as Neto and Enzo Fernandes for receiving bookings for dissent at the Emirates
00:17Stadium
00:18and is looking for ways to drum home the importance of cool heads as the defining point of the season
00:25approaches.
00:26Liam Resenia revealed that Pedro Neto, who was sent off in Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates
00:33Stadium
00:34and was booked twice in the space of four minutes, has apologised to his teammates after the defeat.
00:42Chelsea have dropped to sixth place and are now six points below Aston Villa before visiting Unai Emery's side on
00:48Wednesday.
00:49Yeah, my job is to create a culture of accountability, where if you make a mistake, it's OK, you hold
00:58your hands up and you make sure it doesn't happen again.
01:00But you have to hold your hands up to the original mistake.
01:03If I make the wrong team selection or I get something wrong, my job is to be accountable and it's
01:07the same for my players in that moment.
01:09Yeah, you need teammates to help you, but it comes down to yourself as well.
01:14Pedro's apologised to the group. We miss him for Wednesday. I just need to see an improvement in the behaviour
01:21now.
01:22It's not just Pedro. We've had bookings, people speaking about dissent. We've had needless bookings in terms of fouls.
01:29If we are to improve and get to where we want to be, we have to make a conscious step
01:33now to make sure it doesn't happen again.
01:35Elsewhere, it feels like the entire footballing world is criticising Mikel Arteta's Arsenal for being over-reliant on set pieces.
01:43Here is what the Arsenal manager had to say.
01:46I'm upset that we don't score more and that we concede as well.
01:50So we want to be the best and the most dominant team in every aspect of the game.
01:53And that's the trajectory and the aim of this team.
01:57And as a club, we want to be the same. So it's great to do that.
01:59I don't know. I mean, you as an opponent or whatever, you get upset when you concede a goal.
02:04I was really upset the way we concede our goal against Chelsea.
02:07And Chelsea, look, the quality that they have, the amount of set pieces they score.
02:10Manchester United, they're doing so well.
02:12The same, I was at Man City. I used to work a lot on them.
02:15So it's something.
02:16And there are phases and there are moments when the team has an opportunity to do certain things.
02:23And the game is evolving and the game is becoming more and more difficult.
02:28Before, when you used to do a game plan and you just invert a fullback and bring an extra player
02:33in midfield, a false nine, opponents, a fini.
02:36Big overload, 4v3 inside, 2v1 inside, time on the ball.
02:41So dominant, 78% of possession.
02:44The other opponent, two counterattacks or set pieces, the game is done.
02:47Now, teams are adapting.
02:49Teams know after every sequence of play, whether it's a throw in, a restart of play, an open-page situation,
02:54after direct play, exactly what they have to do.
