Enzo Maresca pleased with his team’s performance despite losing 0-1 to Arsenal, confident the Blues will return to form in the final stretch after gradually bringing back star players.
“I think we were in the game until the last minute. There is not much difference between the two games, considering the injuries. We fought until the last minute. After the international break we will have players back, like Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke, for the final stretch. “
“We fought well, the game went on, they scored from set pieces, they are specialists in that. It is a pity but I feel we are หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ going in the right direction. “
“We controlled the game, created some chances. In the second half we did well overall. I thought we fought really well.”
Enzo Maresca’s side were unexpectedly excellent over the first half of the campaign, but have looked overall woeful since Christmas.
There are things you can point to in Maresca’s defence: the loss of young buck Nicholas Jackson to injury, Cole Palmer’s curious dry spell, Robert Sanchez being quite possibly the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League this season.
On Robert Sanchez “We are quite happy with our two goalkeepers and Robert did well today.”
On the fight for a Champions League spot “It is a big fight for us and all the teams out there. When you win you are closer to the goal, but when you lose you see yourself further away.”
