Chelsea's coach on the defeat to City: "I am quite satisfied with our performance"
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca expressed satisfaction with his team's performance in their opening match of the Premier League season against Manchester City, despite suffering a 0-2 defeat.
«I think we fought really well for most of the match. We were close, if not better. We played well, but we didn't take our chances. Perhaps the biggest difference was in the penalty area. I am quite satisfied with our performance.
We didn't score, but we created opportunities — for me, that is important. The first goal was scored almost from an offside position, and we nearly scored ourselves. Such moments can impact the result, but overall, the performance was good. It was quite clear that the team was trying to retain possession and dominate», Maresca said in an interview with Sky Sports.
Following the match, Chelsea sit in 17th position in the league table without any points. In the next round, the London club will face Wolverhampton on August 25.
