Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 5-0 win over Morecambe [H] in the FA Cup third round:

🤝 “It was a good afternoon in terms of we won, which is important, and the performance in these types of games is about showing how serious and professional you are and once again the players showed that.“

🚀 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐲𝐨 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞-𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝟐𝟓-𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫:

“It was a picture of the game as most of the time he was the only one with that amount of space because all the rest, they were man-to-man around the box so he was the one who could carry the ball and try that option so we are happy for him.

“He can do that but as a central defender you struggle to see them on the edge of the box attacking. But when you arrive there, we have to try that type of solution.

“Also, Axel Disasi tried a few times so that shows our central defenders were on the edge of their box and that is a good thing.”

💫 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞’𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞:

“Tyrique was good.

“Tyrique is doing well for us. He has already played some games for us in the Conference League. He is the same age as Josh Acheampong so is very young but hopefully we can give them more chances and they can become an important part of this team.”

“Yesterday he didn’t finish the session because he was unwell. This is the reason why.”

Nicolas Jackson on his nicknames growing up:

“I had a lot, Jacko, Nicks, CR7, Neymar, they (Neymar, Ronaldo) were my idols growing up”

(Premier League)

Chelsea are interested in signing Yeremay Hernández from Deportivo de La Coruña and have made him an offer.

Talks have been ongoing for some time and the Blues have been insistent on signing the 22-year-old winger.

Two clubs in Italy and Germany are also interested.

Yeremay has a €20 million release clause.

- Chelsea get linked to a random player
- I quickly open my Sofascore app to check up his statistics 😂

João Félix: “I try to enjoy every time I’m on the pitch, whether it’s one minute, five minutes, or 90 minutes.

I played 90 minutes and I’m happy with that. I tried to do my best and help the team. The only way to do it is to keep working, and when they need me, I will be there to help the team.”

Thoughts on the draw?

Renato Veiga wants to leave Chelsea to join @Borussia_Dortmund. He wants to play CB, his favourite position where he didn’t have space in the Premier League so far. Chelsea haven’t given green light yet.

(Fabrizio Romano)

🚨 Chelsea value Veiga at more than £20m and could look at signing a back up left back should he leave.

🚨 Veiga is thought to be keen to cement his 2026 World Cup spot with Portugal and may feel he has a better chance to do that away from Chelsea. (Matt Law)

He always said we were ‘the’ club and this is his home, never trust pro footballers guys

Enzo Maresca ahead of Bournemouth [H] in the Premier League:

💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Yes, Reece [James] and Romeo [Lavia] are okay [for Bournemouth] we are very happy for both.

“They played 45 mins the other day [against Morecambe] and are available for the next game. They are available and as we said, we will try to manage both because they are a
bit delicate situation.

“Noni [Madueke] is back and he’s available after illness. He’s trained with us and he’s 100 per cent fit for tomorrow.”

👀 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐚, 𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐃𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝:

“At the moment, I am not aware that there is an agreement for Renato. Yesterday he was here working with us and today he will be here. At the moment, he is our player.

“The only thing I can say is that we bought Renato from Basel, he has played in different positions and has played well. This has allowed him to be in the senior national team for the first time in his life. Even if he is not playing in his position, it means he can do well in the position he is playing.”

📈 𝐎𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞:

“For sure winning games breeds confidence, and always it helps you to continue to win. After the win over Morecambe, hopefully we can build some momentum now.

“Of course, Bournemouth will be a totally different game. They are a very good team, with a very good manager and it will be a different challenge. They are very tough, and they press with real intensity which makes it difficult for teams.

“That is the reason I think why they are doing well. Not only this season but also last season too, because they are very good at pressing.

“They always try to be intense and it’s quite clear what they do on and off the ball. They are direct, physically very strong and quick. So we know it will be a tough game.”
