Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has expressed his disappointment with his side's defeat to AC Milan on Saturday.
Last season's Champions League winners went down 1-0 to the Italian giants in Miami, marking their second successive defeat in their pre-season tour of the United States after a 3-2 defeat to the MLS All-Stars on Wednesday.
"It is always better to win, it gives you a good feeling, so we are disappointed with the result but I thought there was a big improvement from Wednesday's game," the Italian told Chelsea's official website.
"We get into good positions in the last 20 to 25 yards but we are missing a little bit the cutting edge in those areas, and Fernando Torres only played his first 30 minutes today, plus we are integrating new players - but we had a lot of good possession and good combinations.
"The final pass was a little bit missing today and in front of the goal we need to be a bit more clinical at times."
However, Di Matteo was pleased with the performance of summer signing Eden Hazard and is confident that the new players will integrate into the squad soon.
"I thought Hazard was interesting on the left and he looked a big threat but the organisation today was very good," he said.
"The squad is not together yet and it is just pre-season so you have the opportunity to try different solutions and options to see how that works. It has given me a good opportunity to have a look at some of our players and see what role they can play immediately or in the near future.
"That is what pre-season games are for, you give some youngsters a chance and see how well they have developed and what kind of future they can have for us."
Chelsea will begin their Premier League campaign against Wigan Athletic on Sunday, August 19.
