After the final whistle, the head coach of the London team Enzo Maresca assessed the game of his team, the final result and the influence of young footballers:
“Very satisfied with the game. We started well, but I think in any case the opponent’s red card changed the course of the game a bit. However, overall we played well, scored five goals and probably could have scored more. We are happy with three points.
(On the advantages of youth in your team – ed.): It’s very good, especially when you give them a chance and they take advantage of it. This is important.
We have said many times that playing ten is difficult, and this season we understand it perfectly. Chelsea scored thanks to Marc Guay (born 2006), Tyreek George (born 2007) and Estevan Willian (born 2007). Very, very young players.
We always say the same thing, because it’s true: we like to go from match to match and now we have another very difficult game against Sunderland in 48 hours – we’ll try to do everything we can to win.”
The attacker also shared his emotions Jamie Byno-Gittenswho was recognized as the best player of the match according to UEFA:
“I think it was a quality game both for me and for the whole team. We played well, got the three points and dominated the game, so that’s the main thing. Adaptation? Everything is fine. I’m still trying to settle in, get used to the new team and the style of play, but everything is going well, so I’m happy now.
Every day in training and in matches we see football of the highest level. There is no day off. It’s just great to be around all the players who work hard every day.
Now we are in a good position if you look at the standings. We just need to keep playing well, try to score more goals to increase the difference between the goals scored and the goals conceded. Just continue in the same spirit.
