CHELSEA NEWS 🗞️ 🔵

Maresca full presser: Chelsea's performance After the first-half, they deserved to win the game, for sure, but after the second-half, we deserved to win the game. After the second goal was scored, we had three or four chances to win it. Why was the first-half so bad? The key for me was the goal we conceded. After three minutes, you concede a goal and the game goes in the direction they want. We scored twice in the second-half and could have scored more goals. We adjusted something at half-time. It's not easy to come back in this stadium. James impact He was, once again, top performance. He played for an hour as a midfielder and for the last half an hour, he was as a full-back. We are happy for him. What have you learned from this week? We won against Everton, achieved a semi-final and drew with Newcastle which is always an important result. I'm happy with the reaction from the players. Need experience at St. James' Park? Yeah, for sure, because they know better how to manage that sort of noise. Second-half character For sure, in the first-half, there are things we can do better, but the character and togetherness in the second-half. It's not easy with this noise and environment. Not many teams can do that. Does this show the players are with you? My last week has been good. We beat Everton, beat Cardiff and drew with Newcastle. In terms of results I'm happy. Half-time team talk I could see from the bench that the plan we prepared was the right one. My message at half-time was to continue doing what we're doing. Why were you booked? I was complaining because the same foul was a yellow card for us and they did exactly the same foul three or four times but it was no yellow card, so I asked the question and complained to the referee.
