🗣️ Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 3-0 win over [H] in the UEFA Champions League:
🤝 “For me personally it’s a big win, especially because the other team was Barcelona.
“But nothing changes in terms of what team we are, what we can achieve. For sure tonight’s win is important, but no more than that. It’s over, it’s finished, now we focus on the next one which is difficult again.
“We need to keep the momentum because it’s very nice and it’s much easier to recover energy when you win games, for sure.”
🧠 𝐎𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧:
“Even when it was 11 against 11 I had a good feeling that we had a good level. Barcelona is comfortable when they have the ball, but otherwise they are not so comfortable. We had the ball. We concentrated on ball possession and also circulating the ball.
“For me to have a good formation and good positioning is fundamental. We spent 85 per cent of our training trying to work out how to be aggressive, how to attack our opponent, because as I said is too comfortable when they have the ball. So we needed to take that ball away, always, and circulate it.
“‘And we tried to find opportunities. We scored three and then had three disallowed goals and many more opportunities, so I think we created enough to win the game.”
💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡:
“The feeling was very good, especially because it was at home with our fans.
“It’s always nice to share this kind of moment with them.
“But now, I told the players in the next 48 hours to completely switch off, have a rest, recover their energy, because here on Sunday we have Arsenal. My message after the game was just to recover energy, which in this moment is the most important thing, and then from Friday we start to think about .”
