Ajax defender Joel Veltman has sent a warning to Chelsea ahead of their Champions League clash on Tuesday at the Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea won the first leg of the encounter in Amsterdam, but Veltman insists that the Blues should expect a different approach from what they witnessed in the first leg when they arrive at Stamford Bridge for the reverse fixture.”We didn’t play well enough at the time. We have to play better tomorrow and in the final phase we gave away too much,” recalled Veltman to AD.

“They’re just a top team. But it is up to us not to let them come into their power.”Basically the same as six months ago against Tottenham Hotspur (in the semi-final of the Champions League). If we go along with their pace and the physical duels, then it becomes a kind of tennis match, then the game flies back and forth. We don’t want that.”
