“It’s an important week. Barcelona at the moment and Arsenal on Sunday in the English Premier League. These are important games for different reasons, but it’s important to look at each game individually.
I always thought Enzo Fernandez was a great player. At first it was difficult for him to understand his role, but now he plays an important role for the whole team on the field.
Chelsea – Barcelona. On the eve
Barcelona’s high defensive line plays an important role, but we also need to be alert when we play without the ball. They create many chances and always score. We need to find the right balance between attack and defence.
Mark Cucurella will always be a big asset for us, not only against Barcelona and Yamal. During my time at the club, he has shown an amazing level, not only defensively, but also in our play together. He is very valuable and we are very happy with him, but Barcelona have a lot of players against whom we need to face with dignity as a whole team,” the UEFA press service quotes Mareska as saying.
As a reminder, the match between Chelsea and Barcelona will take place today, November 25, at 22:00 Kyiv time. On Football.ua online text broadcast of the match will be available.
