Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has spoken about his team's 2-4 defeat in a friendly match against Manchester City. According to the expert, his team is progressing with each match, and mistakes are just part of this process.
Enzo Maresca"It's obvious to me that the team is progressing with each match. Mistakes are part of the process.
I've known Manchester City for many years, and even in control matches they don't concede possession to the opposition, don't give up many chances and often keep the ball. In the first 45 minutes, I don't remember them making 6-7 passes in a row, so it was a game without the ball on our part.
I think we lacked quality in the last third, especially in the one-on-one moments. Today we tried to do something new: instead of a fullback coming inside, we kept more or less the same structure: Malo (Gusto) played up top and Kiernan (Dewsbury-Hall) played inside.
Of course, we don't like to lose, but for now, the main thing for me is to see different things and try to be ready for official games at the beginning of the season," Maresca said.
