Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Chelsea, strongly believed that his team deserved to win against Crystal Palace, despite the 1-1 draw. He praised his team’s performance, stating that they controlled the game and did not concede many chances in the first half. Maresca acknowledged that Palace’s goal in the second half was fantastic but maintained that Chelsea overall deserved the victory.
However, Palace boss Oliver Glasner argued that his team deserved the point, especially with their solid defensive shape that limited Chelsea’s attacking opportunities. The game was filled with ups and downs and transitions, but both teams had chances to secure the win.
The introduction of new signing Jadon Sancho to the Chelsea crowd was a highlight of the match. Maresca expressed his confidence in Sancho’s ability to make a difference, especially against teams that defend with a low block like Palace. Despite having several clear chances to score, Chelsea was unable to secure the win.
In addition to discussing the match, Maresca announced that Nicolas Jackson, the goal scorer for Chelsea, had been given a contract extension until 2023. He praised Jackson’s performance and expressed his happiness with the striker’s contribution to the team.
Looking ahead, Chelsea fans can expect exciting performances from their team, especially with new signings like Sancho and the impressive form of players like Jackson. With Maresca at the helm, Chelsea will continue to strive for victories and maintain their competitive edge in the league.
