🗣️ Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Everton [H] in the Premier League:

🤝 “We’re very happy and this was a very important win for us.

“Everton have been on a good run in recent weeks and came here in good form. We’ve dropped points in the last week, so it was important to get the win.

‘We knew it would be a difficult game but I thought we did very well and completely deserved to win the game. The effort from the players today was top and it was a good, important victory as I said.”

🥶 𝐎𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:

“I’m very happy for Cole [to score] and as I’ve said many times before, we are a better team with him in the side.

“But I really want to praise all the players and the squad, because we’ve had a lot of games recently. We’ve also played five games without Moi [Caicedo], 11 without Cole and almost all the games without Liam [Delap].

“There are important players for us and I’m sure people can appreciate that. It’s very important for Cole and hopefully it will give him a boost. Today was also important for all the players and the fans too. We are very happy with the result.

“Cole needs to be fit and that’s why we will manage him carefully. Hopefully we can keep him fit, that’s the most important thing, and hopefully he can be a help to us going forward.

“The effort is there from the players, you can see that. Reece and Malo are both full-backs but today, they both played as midfielders They caused many problems in the offensive areas.

“I’m very happy for Malo in that moment to score, he deserved his goal but I’m also happy for the team overall, for the performance we put in today. Now we must build on it.”

‼️ Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in eight of their 16 games, no team has done this more in the Premier League this season.

It has been made clear to Enzo Maresca that Chelsea's youth-led model WILL NOT dramatically change because it is backed by the hierarchy and starting to bear fruits.

Co-owner Behdad Eghbali along with sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley believe the project is starting to pay off.

And Chelsea have doubled down on their investment in youth by adding highly-rated recruitment expert Dave Fallows to work across football development.
