Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion [A] in the FA Cup fourth round:

🤝 “It’s for sure a shame, no doubt. We need to learn how to win games 1-0. I said many times.

“In the same way, in the last game against West Ham we were losing but in the end we won 2-1. That is part of the season, part of football, sometimes you are down and win and sometimes it happens like tonight.

“But I said already to the players weeks ago – and said again tonight – that as a team we need to learn to win games 1-0. That is what big teams do.

“We started very good and the only shot they had in the first half was the goal. We controlled and we created some chances. In the second half, it was more of less the same; probably their only shot on goal was the second goal.

“After the second goal, we had a few chances to draw but we missed.”

“It was planned. He is ok, training, it was just to protect him a little bit to avoid an injury again.“

“I don’t think we miss Joao. Joao is happy there and we are happy Joao is happy there [at AC Milan]. The only thing I can say is no-one would predict on deadline day we had two strikers injured. This is something that is difficult to think. It unfortunately happened but we have Nico [Jackson] to be back very soon.”

Former Wigan Warriors back-rower Willie Isa is set to become a player support and development officer at Chelsea, and will have a broad range of responsibilities.

The 36-year-old back-rower, who won three Super League titles and a World Club Challenge with Wigan, is known for his leadership skills and has been a role model over a decade with the cherry and whites.

Isa will work closely with head of men’s operations and welfare Kevin Campello and his time will be dedicated largely to player co-ordination around training and match days, with his new employer committed to growing support for its players across all teams.

Independiente del Valle sporting manager, Luis Saritama to fbradio105.7 on Kendry Paez:

“Last week we talked to Kendry Páez, there are two possibilities. There is a request from Chelsea for the player to have an adaptation period in Europe. We are analyzing it with all parties.”

“On the 17th or 20th of this month, Páez would make his trip to Europe. What predominates here is the decision of the club and the player, and the intention of both is to have a period of adaptation in Europe already, before he turns 18.

“I would not rule out the fact that Kendry is not playing these months with us, however this issue of the adaptation period is being evaluated. He has conveyed to us his intention to have a period of adaptation in Europe and we understand it.”

Paez will join the Blues after his 18th birthday.
