The mentor gave his comment after the defeat against the locals.

Enzo Maresca said he was pleased with Chelsea's performance in the match against Manchester City.

In the 1st round of the Premier League, the Blues lost at home with a score of 0:2.

" We were close, if not better. We played well, but didn’t waste our chances. Possibly, there was a great difference at the penalty area. I am completely satisfied with our.

We didn’t score, but we created chances - it’s important for me. Manchester City's first goal was scored in an offside position, and we scored in the same manner. Such speeches flow into the result, but the game was good. It was absolutely obvious that the team was trying to win the ball and dominate.

Today we played against the champions. We will continue to win matches in the same way. Stinks of maistry in moments like this. We had two or three moments. The stench of the maistry is that the morning ball is fussing. Grabula is on high, and this is the fire,” said Maresca.

In the upcoming round, London's Chelsea will play away to Wolverhampton, while in the middle of the season we will host the Swiss Servette in the UEFA Conference League qualification. Manchester City for the week at home gratify against Ipswich.
