Enzo Maresca on Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong having lockers in the #Chelsea first team dressing room:

"It's not something that they have to take for granted. They have to work in the right way to get the chance to work with us."

Enzo Maresca:

"Now they are there they have to work hard and get the chance to be with us and defend that. When they are good, no matter the age they are good."

Enzo Maresca:

"I said since we start, the best time for Christo has been in pre-season as a number 10. I don't think he's a real striker. We have many number 10: Cole, Joao, Christo. I'm trying to find space for all of them."

Enzo Maresca on Marc Guiu:

"He's young, we don't know what will happen in January. We will see."

Enzo Maresca on adding Cole Palmer to Conference League squad:

"Depends in January. We don't want to sell players but maybe the ones that aren't playing a lot are probably unhappy and want to leave. Then we will decide."

Enzo Maresca:

"I just said to the players we have three Premier League games in one week. They have to be ready because they're going to play."

Enzo Maresca on Marc Cucurella:

"If you are in the right position, the ball will arrive there and we will have a chance. It's about understanding the game, the positions. Marc and all of them are doing fantastic."

Enzo Maresca on Marc Cucurella:

"Probably the other day [vs Brentford] was the first time he scored with his head, and today was the first time with his right foot. He said to me 'I was captain tonight too!'."

[via footballontnt]

Enzo Maresca:

"With Marc [Guiu], the problem is sometimes we forget the age. He is the same age as Josh Acheampong and has already scored six goals in this competition."

Enzo Maresca:

"He is taking his chance. He knows with Nicolas and Christo there it is not easy for him but he is working in the right way."

Enzo Maresca on Marc Cucurella:

"I don't know about last year, I was not here so it is difficult to judge. Sometimes it is more about understanding the position and the game. Marc is doing very well."

Enzo Maresca:

"In the last two games he has scored two goals but in the game against Leicester, he did very well. He scored with his right tonight."

Enzo Maresca:

"Not only about Marc, to be honest; all of them, they understand where they have to be when receiving the ball."

Enzo Maresca on if Cole Palmer will play in the Conference League:

"It depends about the January transfer window a little bit if players want to leave or arrive. So talking about this moment about the squad, I don't know. We will see."

[via BobbyVincentFL]

Enzo Maresca:

"In this moment, we can focus on the domestic competition and it's probably better."

Enzo Maresca on if Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will stay at #Chelsea:

"Unfortunately I cannot say that [he is not for sale]. Not only about Kiernan, but the whole squad. When the window is open, anything can happen."

[via BobbyVincentFL]

Enzo Maresca:

"We don't want one of our players to leave. It is sometimes a question for them because they are not happy and they want to play more. It is a matter of agreement between the club and the player."

[via BobbyVincentFL]

Enzo Maresca on Harrison Murray-Campbell:

"When you play the first game, it is never easy. He did quite well. He is good on the ball and good at defending. He deserved this chance. He was okay."

Marc Guiu, the hat-trick hero! ⚽️🎩

Enzo Maresca ahead of Everton [A] in the Premier League:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Joao [Felix] is back, you saw Joao [against Shamrock Rovers], but Romeo [Lavia] will probably struggle to play on Sunday. But we will see tomorrow [Friday].

🤕 𝐎𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲:

“Both are still out and will still be out for a long period.”

📈 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬:

“Reece will start with us for part of the session. So slowly, slowly is moving forward. That doesn’t mean he will be with us on Sunday or next Sunday.

“Tomorrow [today], part of the session will be with him managed then it’s building the right condition for him.”

😤𝐎𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤:

“No, it’s something that I didn’t know, to be honest.

“Hopefully we can go there and beat them. For sure, it will be a tough game, but we’re going to try to prepare for the game in the best way we can.

“The target is always the same: prepare the game to win the game and then we see. Everton’s stadium is not tough only for Chelsea. It’s tough for any club.”
