Enzo Maresca reveals what made him ‘CRIED’ after 4-1 win over Panathinaikos
When a highly rotated Chelsea team defeated Panathinaikos in the Conference League, Enzo Maresca was ecstatic and broke down in tears of happiness.
In their match against Panathinaikos, Chelsea was outstanding and won 4-1 with justification.
The fact that the team has a distinct identity regardless of who plays makes Enzo Maresca happy.
“It was a very good performance,” Enzo Maresca said after a 4-1 win over Panathinaikos in the Conference League.
“I think we struggled a little at the beginning of the game, especially off the ball in the way we were pressing. Then we made an adjustment and we were much better. On the ball, I think we were good.
“The performance was good and the important thing, I’ve always said, is that no matter how many players we change you can see the identity of the team. We can do things better for sure but I think the identity is clear, the way we play on the ball, and when we don’t have the ball.
“What we want is what the players are doing: taking the chance when we give the chance. Tonight again they showed this and I’ve said since we started that if we want to be there and compete we need all the players doing the right things. They are doing that.”
