π¨ Enzo Maresca on his midfield options:
"At the moment, I donβt think we have a natural replacement for Enzo. We have adapted Andrey Santos, but Andrey is more of a number six, Moiβs position, than Enzo. Moi is also playing a lot as, unfortunately, we have had Romeo (Lavia) out and Dario (Essugo) out at the same time."
"So they are playing a lot, but if you look at Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City β the clubs that play Champions League β they also have players that play in every game."

Maresca says his comments about lacking support were not emotional. He meant every word and stands by it.
He said the period after the Atalanta loss was the worst 48 hours of his time at Chelsea. He felt he and the team were not backed enough after that game.
He refused to say exactly who he was talking about. He made it clear it was not the fans. That led people to believe he meant the owners or sporting directors.
The club initially tried to downplay his comments as emotion after a big win. Maresca directly rejected that. He said it was not an emotional reaction at all.
No club official asked him to explain or clarify his comments. He also said any issues about moving forward are for the club to address, not him.
When asked again, he repeated the same thing and refused to elaborate. He considers the matter closed from his side.
He confirmed that transfer decisions are controlled by the owners and sporting directors, not him.
