De Gea, “We need more effort to win”

De Gea was pleased with the scoreless match by saving Hakim Ziech’s important opportunity in the second half.

“It was a big save. Especially at this moment.” De Gea said. “It was a big opportunity for Chelsea and I helped the team with a save. Happy and in a good mood. But as I said earlier, you have to do more. It’s not enough to win the championship cup.”

The biggest issue in the game on this day is the decision that the handball committed by Calum Hudson-Odoi at the beginning of the game was not declared as a penalty kick through VAR. De Gea said he was confused.

“When the referee went to check the TV to decide whether to take a penalty kick, I honestly thought it was a penalty kick. I didn’t see it, but someone said it was handball. It had to be a penalty kick. But this is football and VAR. Now we have to focus on the Crystal Palace.”
