Chelsea fulback Azpilicueta: We've lost fear factor

Chelsea fullback Cesar Azpilicueta admits they've lost their fear factor.

Azpilicueta feels teams are no longer scared of facing Chelsea.

"They get scared when you win lots of games in a row," he said. "When you win - that's when you get more respect. We need to manage situations better. We cannot draw this kind of game at Reading when we are leading 2-0. But we cannot be complaining all the time. We have to look forward and analyse the mistakes.

"It's about a little bit of confidence. When the team is playing better it's easier to have the mind clear to manage situations. These things can make a difference."
