A picnic, literally. The Chelsea yesterday it bombed the Noahdevastating 8-0 in the third round of the Conference League. Different and excellent responses received from Enzo Maresca in the turnover made, with Mudryk returning to goal, Enzo Fernandez producing three assists in 20 minutes, in addition to braces from Joao Felix and Nkunku. The Italian coach of Blues he talked about it like this at TNT Sports: “Difficult match because everyone expected us to win, but you have to be serious, professional and the most important thing is that they showed how serious and professional they are.”
The rotations did not affect the performance: “I was very impressed, especially because we are trying to change players every game. It works well. We have good players and we want them to get minutes. Some of them play in the conference, some in the Premier League, but everyone wants to play every game” .
The thing that impressed him the most: “The professionalism and seriousness we showed tonight. Tonight they showed seriousness. We are in the right direction and now the most important thing is to continue. We have one more match before the international break and we can rest some of them during the break. I would have liked to play with all these guys in attack. We need defensive balance.”
