🗣️ Enzo Fernandez: “I really don’t understand this question. If the coach says that we are not in title race, it’s because it’s like that. We are always training and playing to defend Chelsea and leave it as high as possible.”

🔵🗣️ Enzo Maresca: "I said many times that we are not title contenders because we win a game or lose a game."

"It's the feeling that we have inside. It's the reality for us and this is the reason why." (Amazon)

Former Chelsea keeper Schwarzer on Fulham's winning goal:

🗣️ "Robert Sanchez looked to hit a massive diagonal and he doesn’t hit it properly.

That enabled Fulham to hit them on the counter and players were caught out of position. The goalkeeper has to look at himself, it was a poor clearance."

Our final game of 2024 comes at Portman Road. 👊

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

🤝 “We will see if we make one change or two changes or three changes, now it’s a bit early, but for sure we are going to change something.

“For sure after a game you need to go again, no matter the result. Especially this month. We have already played eight or nine games in December, in 26 or 27 days. Now it’s also important to recover the energy and go again on Monday.”

😤 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦:

“We never thought we would win every game.

“We lost on the 18 August, and then after two months, and then after two months. But we know the reality is not just to lose one game every two months. It’s a matter of how we react and try to go again.”

Maresca also confirmed ahead of the trip to Suffolk that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed the Fulham defeat because of injury, while Noni Madueke and Renato Veiga’s omission from the matchday squad was a ‘technical decision’.

⚒️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐈𝐩𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡:

“I think all the Premier League games are complicated; no matter the other team. You see every game we play, it is always complicated. You see the other team, you struggle to beat teams and I think the Ipswich game will be exactly the same.”
