At the Club World Cup, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca spoke about his team's important victory over Palmeiras. In this quarterfinal match, the Londoners defeated their opponent 2-1 and reached the semifinals.
According to Maresca, this match was as difficult as expected, because Chelsea's season is ending, while Palmeiras's is just beginning. This difference had a noticeable impact on the action on the pitch. "My players put in a lot of strength and energy. They fought for victory every minute. I am proud of them," said Enzo Maresca.
In this match, young forward Estevao also showed himself for Chelsea. The Brazilian talent was purchased by Chelsea before the tournament for 34 million euros plus 27 million euros in bonuses, but the official contract only came into force from July 1. According to the agreement between the clubs, he will continue to play for Palmeiras for now.
Maresca: "We are happy with the victory and Estevao's goal. Today was a perfect night for Chelsea," he summed up.
Fans and the football community are following Chelsea's new talents and the team's results under the new coach with great interest. The club is preparing to write a new page in the fight for the final. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
