Enzo Maresca:
๐ On a staff meeting he prepared at Cobham:
โI think more than one month ago I prepared a meeting with all the people inside the building, the kitchen staff, groundsmen, kit men, everyone inside the building. I asked them to push until the end because our target was to bring this club back into the Champions League.
โI went to bed, at 11 oโclock, 12 oโclock, and I woke up at 4 oโclock, 5 oโclock. It was when we were third or fourth. I couldnโt sleep more. I started to think. I thought, โIt could be a good idea in the morning to arrive and pull all the people together in the building and share this message.โ
โSo I arrived here, 7am, I text Kev [Kevin Campello, head of first-team football operations], โKev, everyone in the canteen at 10 oโclock.โ And they were there, everyone, at 10 oโclock.
โThere are many people inside of the building, behind the scenes, who work every day. I will tell you the details. I said to the players in that meeting, โWhen I arrive here in the morning at 7 oโclock, there are people from the kitchen cutting the fruit in the same way. Cut, cut, cut, cut. So there are people behind who you cannot see, who are working every day to help you to reach your target.โ Itโs true.
โWhen I arrive here at 7 oโclock, the kitchen people are preparing breakfasts, and they are doing it all perfectly. The players, they do not see that. I tried to convince them that there are people behind who work hard and we need to push altogether to reach our target.
โBut as I said, if you say something when you win, you look humble. When you say the same thing when you are not winning, you look like you lack ambition. But my ambition since I joined this club has been always the same, to bring this club where this club deserves to be.
โItโs the reason why I joined this club because I saw the same desire from the owners and the sports directors, otherwise there was no sense to join this club. Because this club cannot just survive, itโs a club that you need to win games, you need to fight for something important.โ

โ๏ธ by tobymanor
STARTING XI:
Jorgensen - 4: Made one or two decent saves but horrible error to gift Villa 3 points.
Gusto - 4.5: Decent at times but also prone to heavy touches and misplaced passes. Has lacked cutting edge all season. Caught out at the back post for Villaโs first goal.
Chalobah - N/A (Speedy recovery๐).
Colwill - 6: Didnโt really put a foot wrong. Played some nice line breaking passes.
Cucurella - 6: Carried out his defensive duties reasonably well, not much else to analyse.
James - 6: Spread the play very effectively in midfield with his passing range despite a couple of giveaways.
Caicedo - 7: Ran Chelseaโs midfield as he usually does, got stuck in and moved the ball around precisely. Created a great chance for Palmer.
Fernandez - 7: Instinctive run into the box and poachers finish to score the opener, as well hard work on and off the ball.
Palmer - 5.5 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - 5: Not his day. Created good chances and showed his flair but had two very good opportunities that he could have done better with.
Nkunku - 4.5: Very quiet performance on the left wing.
Neto - 7.5: Great assist for the opener and penetrative runs both up front and on the wing to get Chelsea up the pitch, played with a lot of confidence.
SUBSTITUTES:
Tosin - 5: Quiet game after replacing Chalobah early on.
Sancho - N/A

Enzo Maresca ahead of Southampton [H] in the Premier League:
๐ฅ On Trevoh Chalobahโs injury:
โTrevoh had a check yesterday and he will be [out of action] for around one week to 10 days.
โOn the one hand itโs good that itโs not a big injury but on the other hand, it is a shame because we lose another player to injury.
โHe wonโt play against Southampton but we will see how he is for the next one.โ
๐งค On whether Filip Jorgensen will start against Southampton despite his mistake against Aston Villa:
โIf we need to change players every time there is a mistake, we will change many players but no, nothing has changed.
โHe is okay. He feels a little bit sad and upset because he recognises it was a mistake but overall he is okay.โ
๐ On Cole Palmerโs dip in form:
โIโm always concerned about general performance but Iโm not concerned about Cole. Cole is a human being. The problem with Cole is probably we rely on Cole for everything and lโve said since the start, we need to rely on the team. We are not worried about Cole at all.โ
โจ On how to get Palmerโs magic back:
โJust continue working in the way he is working. The other day, I think he had a great chance but overall the performance from Cole, every game we expect goals and assists from him, so itโs difficult; he is a human being.
His performances at the minute probably reflect the teamโs performances.โ
๐ On Southampton:
โFrom now on, every game and team is playing for something. They will all be tough matches.
โI really think that [it could be tricky vs Southampton]. Itโs football. I am not saying that for a message, I really believe every game is a tricky game. The differences are so tiny. We need to be focused on how we win the game.
โWe asked for a better performance [than Brighton], and the performance was there. We didnโt deserve the final result [vs Aston Villa], but we need to accept that in this moment itโs not enough, we need to find something extra to get results.
โOur duty is to prepare every game to win. From now on, we have 12 games to go and no doubt they are all big games for us.โ
