Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has said that his team deserved to lose against Leeds United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Leeds United were simply the better side in every aspect of the game; therefore, their victory was well deserved.
Maresca added that he took Estêvão off at halftime after the frustrated teenage Brazil international received a yellow card for kicking out at Gabriel Gudmundsson.
His words, “A very poor night. They [Leeds] deserved to win the game, they were better in all aspects.
There is nothing that we can take from this game. The only thing we can do is try to understand the mistake we have done, try to reset, because in 48 hours we have one more game.
I hope that we had a bad night because they were on the ball, off the ball, second ball, they were much better than us in all the aspects.”
On Estevao, “I think the feeling with Estêvão was, you know, a little bit ‘welcome to Leeds’
Sometimes aged 18, you struggle to manage emotion, so it was better to change him and to avoid any red card.”
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.
