Enzo Maresca on Chelseaโs 1-0 win over Tottenham [H] in the Premier League:
๐ ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ, ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ซ:
โTonight the assist for Enzo [Fernandez] was a top assist. Enzo was in the right position, so I am very happy for both of them.
โCole Palmerโs performance tonight was very similar to the rest of his performances, the only difference is that in the previous performance he didnโt score or assist. Because heโs a top player, and probably the best player we have, every time he doesnโt score or assist it is news.
โBut for me it is something normal. We cannot rely on Cole to score or assist in every game.โ
๐ฅ ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐:
โTonight was very important, first of all because of the performance. We know how important it is in this moment to win games, but since we started we try to win games in the way we want and I think tonight the performance as very good and we are happy.
โProbably since day one we donโt work every day to win the game in the way that we played in the last 10 minutes, in terms of waiting for them and giving the ball to them. But if you want to become a team I think you need to also learn to play how we played in the last 10 minutes, to win a game in a dirty way.
โI think for 90 minutes, until the added time, we were in control, we created enough chances to win the game. We created enough chances in the first half.
โTo be honest that might have been my mistake because I made a change before I saw the added time and, when I saw it was 12 minutes, I thought it was probably too early to make that kind of change. Fortunately we won the game and we are happy.โ
๐ ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐:
โI want to say that my feeling from the bench tonight was that we have the best environment with the fans since the start of the season. I was very happy with the way the fans were tonight.
โWith them in the way they were tonight we are going to achieve important things, because they push us and they help us. So Iโm very happy and, please, if they can do the same until the end it is good for us.โ

STARTING XI:
Sanchez - 7: Kept it simple on-the-ball, produced a big save at end to deny Son.
Gusto - 7: Eight recoveries and six clearances, wasnโt great offensively but kept it simple overall
Chalobah - 8: Brilliant from the off, barely put a foot wrong defensively.
Colwill - 7: Couldโve been more convincing aerially, otherwise a fine performance without any silly errors.
Cucurella - 7.5: Sloppy at start in jumping out and leaving gaps but recovered well in second half and didnโt give Odobert a breather.
Caicedo (MOTM) - 9: Flawless all throughout even after picking up knock, deserved his goal to stand. Ball-winning ability simply on another level.
Fernandez - 8: Developing a top goalscoring knack getting in the box for his goal. Nine passes into final third and didnโt get exposed defensively.
Neto - 6: Kept it simple and shouldโve got an assist in first half from a wonderful cross.
Palmer - 8: Brilliant cross for Enzoโs goal. Defensively helped the pivot out well too, looking back to his usual self.
Sancho - 5 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - 5.5: Lacked ability to create separation 1v1, needs to quite simply just shoot more, take more risks.
Jackson - 7: No goal but still made it difficult for Spursโ centre-backs at times. Helps the attack become a lot more fluid.
SUBSTITUTES:
Madueke - 7.5: Pressed well from the front, showed great impetus off-the-ball when needed.
James - N/A
Tosin - N/A
Dewsbury-Hall - N/A: Came on late but showed great willingness in the tackle to swing the momentum away late on.
Thoughts? ๐ตโฌ๏ธ

โWes had a muscle problem a few days and we are waiting for more checks.
โFor Sunday, Romeo is out. If you compare Romeoโs games this season to last season, he has already improved. But the target with Romeo is just to try to keep him fit as much as we can and play more games next season than this season.
โWe are trying to do the same with Reece [James], itโs not the same but a similar situation. Reece [against Tottenham was on the bench, he is one of our best players, but he was on the bench because he try to take care of him.
โWe know that in this moment he canโt play every three days, hopefully soon he can, but the main target with him, Romeo and Wes is to keep them fit because we know how important they are for us.โ

โFor sure it will be very tough. You see on Wednesday night they lost Newcastle away, but it was a tough game. But I think from now on, every game theyโre going to be tough.โ
โItโs difficult. We are probably the only team.
Tottenham, I donโt know if they play Sunday or I donโt know when they play. So for us it will be more difficult. But now itโs also a matter of how we manage the tightness. We need to recover energy and we need to go again on Sunday.
โItโs much better to win and to prepare for the next game. Every time you win the next game, most of the time itโs better preparation. Hopefully from this game we can build momentum, knowing that every game will be difficult until the end.โ

Chelsea are in talks with UEFA over a financial settlement after breaching the European governing bodyโs spending limits.
UEFA will not include the income Chelsea generated from selling its womenโs team to a sister company โ Blueco 22 Midco Ltd โ for ยฃ200million in their assessment calculations.
Unlike the Premier League, UEFA does not allow for the sale of tangible assets to sister companies to count towards their Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
This means the two hotels โ the Copthorne and Millennium โ Chelsea sold to Blueco 22 Properties Ltd, another sister company, for ยฃ76.5m in 2022-23, and the womenโs team sale in 2023-24, will not be recorded by UEFA.
For 2023-24, UEFA assessed the last two seasons, allowing clubs a maximum loss of โฌ80m. Deducting the asset sales from Chelseaโs calculation leaves them with a ยฃ237m loss over that two-year period, albeit that figure will reduce when allowable costs are deducted.
The most likely outcome from Chelseaโs dialogue with UEFA is that they will be required to pay a financial penalty.
An official announcement is expected in the coming months.

Enzo Maresca on the changes to the #Chelsea line-up:
"The ones that are going to start I think, are going to be the right ones. Also because we have a few back from injury [recently]. Playing after 72 hours isn't the best after you've come back from a long time or an injury."
