🗣️ Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat against Leeds United [A] in the Premier League:

🤝 “They were better than us in all the aspects and they deserved to win the game.

“There is nothing we can take from this game. The only thing we can do is try to understand the mistakes we have made, try to reset, because on Saturday we have another game.

“In tonight’s game there was no-one that was at his best level. Pedro second half, Garna [Alejandro Garnacho] second half, probably they were our best players, because after we scored the goal we had two chances with Cole [Palmer] and Joao [Pedro]. Then the third goal killed the game.

“I hope that we had a bad night because it’s a game that you struggle to find something that you can take from the game. On the ball, off the ball, duels, second balls – they were much better than us in all the aspects.”

🤷‍♂️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬:

“For sure for different reasons the level is not going to be always the same. Home or away against any team, if you don’t perform 100 per cent, the Premier League is tough.

“When you play the way we did in the last two games against Barcelona and Arsenal, you expect a better performance, no doubt. But because we perform so well against Arsenal and Barcelona and over the last month, that does not mean that we are going to perform always in the same way.

“For different reasons it is not possible, because of the situations you have to manage. We have players that it is not possible for them to play every two or three days. When you change players, the level drops, that is the reality because they are important players for us and would be important players for any team.”

Enzo Maresca has been shortlisted for the Premier League Manager of the Month award for November. 🔵

Chelsea drop down to 4th after GW14. West Ham deny Man United going level with us. There’s only a 3 point gap between #CFC and Everton in 10th.

Chelsea’s upcoming December Premier League fixtures:

Bournemouth (A)
Everton (H)
@Newcastle_United (A)
@Aston_Villa (H)
Bournemouth (H)

Chelsea are 4 points worse off at the same stage as last season. Bournemouth are winless in 5 games ahead of the weekend game. Big month ahead, starting on Saturday. We’ll learn a lot about whether this team has improved or if it’s the same old during December. Time to step up. All well and good turning up in the big games but this is what matters.

Best wishes on your birthday, Ross. 🥳

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

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Moi [Caicedo] is suspended, but we don’t have any new injuries.

“We don’t know yet when he [Romeo Lavia] can be back. We don’t know [whether it’s long or short term].”

🤔 𝐎𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤:

“Most of the rotation we do is because we have some players who, in this moment, are not able to play every three days. So the rotation we have done in the past, this is the reason why.

“It’s [the schedule] the most difficult thing for me personally this season because, for many reasons, we have to make changes.

“We played two days ago, and we came back from Leeds yesterday afternoon and have a session this morning. Most of them cannot take part in the session because they need to recover, so we will try to prepare in the best way possible for tomorrow’s game.”

🥲 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬:

“One of the regrets I have after the game is I didn’t play Josh.

“The reason why we played with Trev [Chalobah], Tosin [Adarabioyo] and Benoit [Badiashile] is because analysing them, we saw that most of the time they were playing long ball for [Dominic] Calvert-Lewin, for [Lukas] Nmecha - and so we prefer physicality to win aerial duels. But even with that, we lost most of them.”

🤝 On 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐬:

“Facu is working well. He played some games at the beginning for many reasons, because Cole [Palmer] was injured, because Liam [Delap] was injured, so we had more space for him. But in this moment, we have all the players back.“

🍒 𝐎𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡:

“I think Bournemouth will be a similar game to Leeds. That’s where we need to be better.

“They are intense, Leeds were very intense. I think I said after the game that they were better than us in all the aspects and hopefully we can learn from that and be ready for tomorrow.”
