Commentary from an Italian fachit.

Enzo Maresca commented on Chelsea's victory over Newcastle (2:1).

“I’m so pleased not only with the points we scored, but especially with our performance. I think there will be a whole performance both with and without the ball. Moments we were incredible both on the balls and without. I was so happy with everything I did, but especially since we danced without a ball, pressed at the same time, fought at the same time.

In the skin game I feel bad, less doubtfully, because I have to deprive the graves of the pose with a warehouse, but not a single way to be competitive. No matter how many changes we make, it is important that the style is preserved so that identity is lost.

I have said many times that the club never realized the need to spend in four, they were just talking about trying something that would be meaningful. “I’m amazed,” said the Chelsea head coach.

It is significant that after defeating Newcastle, Chelsea returned to the top 4.
