Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 2-0 win at Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League group stage:
๐ค โIt was tough, very tough, which is exactly the way we expected the game to be.
โA Bundesliga team away is never easy, itโs always going to be a tough game. Iโm very happy with the payers, all of them did fantastic because it was not an easy game.
โWe could have scored many goals, we also conceded some chances, but overall I think we deserved to win the game and I am very happy for the players.โ

โIt was a very good challenge for all aspects. They were pressing high, they were intense, but no matter what the opposition do itโs important that we are ready.
โItโs important also to continue with that mentality, to try to win all the games. This is a good way to build something.
โI am very happy that we still have our 100 per cent record in the Conference League, hopefully we can finish exactly the same way. Now itโs time to recover the energy and go again on Sunday [in the next match against Aston Villa].โ

Nicolas Jackson thanked Unai Emery when he signed his new Chelsea deal. Emery told Villarreal not to buy a striker during his time at the club amid an injury crisis, citing a young Jackson as the solution to their problems.
Bournemouth have admitted that they made a mistake in pulling out of a deal for Jackson before he joined Chelsea due to injury concerns.
Jackson has never forgotten where he came from, sending truckloads of food for locals in Ziguinchor, Senegal, and Banjul, the capital of the Gambia.
Jackson is tired of Didier Drogba comparisons, telling those who bring it up that one is a โlegendโ of Chelsea while he is a โnobodyโ still finding his way.
Chelsea paid ยฃ32m to sign him in June 2023 but ask the Blues today and they will tell you he is worth twice that, at least, after his impressive performances in the Premier League this season. ๐ธ๐ณ

No player has a better shot conversion rate in the #EPL than Jackson this campaign. The same as Mohamed Salah. #CFC

In the last two or three years, especially with their new manager [Unai Emery] and sporting director. Theyโre playing Champions League already. For sure, they are there and want to be there.โ

โYou arrive late, itโs not easy and especially the strange thing, sometimes you play tomorrow on Friday and then play Thursday and on Sunday. Southampton, they donโt play any European competition. This is not something normal. We have two days after Sundayโs game and they have almost a week, six days - this is something not normal. But we are going to try and prepare the game in the best way and try to win.โ

โFor sure. He can work better on the ball. Off the ball, he is working a lot and he is helping us a lot. On the ball, for sure. Like tonight, when you face teams going man-to-man, the most important player is the goalkeeper because he is free and the No.9, you can try and contact with him and you can try to attack.
โAlso, he already scored goals but I think if he had more chances, he would score more goals. But we are very happy and we are not complaining about his numbers.โ
