West Ham United crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has now admitted that the approach did not work out.

I think that those of us who play in front have to press the ball zones as best as possible because the problem is when the opponent has time with the ball to think about the pass and see the movements of our defence. But it is our way of playing: it gives us intensity to our game, and I think that when we bring that intensity, it is difficult for the rivals.
