Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca has come out to say that Nicolas Jackson must learn for the future. This is coming after the Chelsea forward’s red card in the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle left the team without a striker for their crucial final two games of the season in their pursuit of UCL qualification.
According to him, he accepts the red card since it was the ref’s decision, and Chelsea must now plan on how to play without Jackson for the rest of the season.
Maresca added that sometimes the home team gets favored when it comes to officiating, and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
His words, “If the ref thinks red card, it’s a red card. We need to accept that. Sometimes in this stadium, it’s the noise that helps makes decisions, but I don’t think that about that one.
I haven’t spoken to Nico, it’s not the time. But I will speak to him in the next days.
His season for us is finished. He is our nine, our striker, so we have to find a solution for the next games. Marc Guiu is our other striker, but he has been injured for three months.
What you have to avoid is these kind of things, but it happened. Nico is now out for the season and hopefully he can learn for the future.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
