Maresca: We will try our best to win the competition we are participating in, we are heading in the right direction

May 29th News In the early morning of this morning, Chelsea defeated Betis 4-1 to win the European Union championship. Head coach Maresca talked about several topics about this game at a post-match press conference. During the break, how many times did you say to the players to express your anger? Maresca: No, I didn't do that. I think I have some expectations for the team's performance. I said two weeks ago that in football, you can't give any opponent any advantage. "

"We had no goal for them on Friday's game, and we played 100 minutes on Sunday and achieved important results at the last minute. So, I have some expectations for this. Then we made some tactical adjustments at halftime and we were significantly better in the second half and we were very happy about it. "

Palmer is doing well, can you talk about what's special about him as a player and why he helped the team reverse tonight with two assists

Maresca: The trough he's experienced this season will undoubtedly make him a better player, and we all know he's a top player. We need to help him appear in the right position at the right time. He's a quality player and can decide the game with goals or assists. As you said, both of his assists are excellent."

How important do you think the recent weeks are for the team's future development

Maresca: There's no doubt that a lot has been improved since we started. We also started to win games in a not-so-pretty way. This is not easy for a young team. ”

" For example, in the game against Nottingham Forest, we won the game in a not-so-pretty way, but that's very important. For me, the most satisfying scene tonight was that when we scored the first goal, the first thing we celebrated was Gusto and Badiacile, who were the players we replaced. ”

" This means a lot to me, it means the team is in a good spirit, we are moving in the right direction, everyone is helping each other, and it is a good starting point to build an important foundation. ”

Have you said Jackson owe the team something, did he do it tonight?

Maresca: Yes, he performed well. The first half was difficult for all of us, but we performed better in the second half, and he performed better. Not only did he score goals, he also worked very hard, and that's what the team needed."

What win this trophy means for this young team

Maresca: Hope this can be a starting point and help us build a winning mindset. You need to win the game, win the competition. The trophy we won tonight will surely make us better. ”

"I am also very proud of our performance in this Premier League season, which, in my opinion, is the hardest league in the world. You need to stay steady in 38 games and these players show that. ”

" That's why my outburst was a bit exaggerated after the Nottingham Forest game. But the reason is just because in 38 games, you need to stay steady. And we have the youngest lineup in Premier League history, which is incredible. "

You have won this trophy, will you still want to go back to this game? You should still look further

Maresca: Of course, we won this game. I have said many times that we will try our best to win the games we participated in. This season, a lot of people talk about the Champions League and the Europa League. But if you are participating in the Europa League, you can't win those games. So our goal is to win the Europa League, and we will participate in the Champions League next season, and then we will see it."

Then your goal is to win the Champions League

Maresca: [Laughs] No.

Will it be a challenge to stay focused before the next Club World Cup?

Maresca: We have 10 days off now and we need to recover our strength. Then we will start the Club World Cup. At present, our goal is to play one game at a time, step by step. "

" But to be honest, we have no specific goals for the Club World Cup now. The only goal now is to recover your strength, as this season is long. Don't forget that we started with the UEFA qualifiers, not the group stage, which has been a long season.
