Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, speaking to BBC’s Match of the Day: “I think we shot more than 20 times, I think the only thing we missed has been the goal but overall, it’s been a good performance.”
On his team selection: “We played Thursday night, so the idea was to start the game in one way and finish in another way. I think the plan nearly worked. We just the missed the goal.”
On the performance: “We can always do something better, not only today but in general. When you shoot more than 20 times, you’ve made enough to win the game.”
On balancing the Premier League and Conference League: “It’s difficult, but at the same time it’s nice because it means we’re near the end.”
On whether still being in the Conference League is a good thing: “To be honest, when you are Chelsea manager you have to win all the games, not only in the Conference [League]. It is the same pressure.”
