Live broadcast on 0/0 According to London Football Network, Maresca was interviewed by reporters after Chelsea's 0-0 win over Legia Warsaw.
Chelsea all but sealed a place in the semi-finals with a 22-0 win over Legia Warsaw in the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-finals. Goals from George and Madueke gave the Blues an edge against the Polish side and set the stage for next week's second leg at Stamford Bridge. However, Palmer's injury early in the game was a cause for concern. The 0-year-old held out until half-time but was then substituted.
About the game
We plan to play the best players in this game and give the other players a chance to recover. Overall, it was a great performance and the result was good. We played better in the second half than we did in the first half and we need to learn to deal with different types of games.
On the team's performance in the first half
It's not easy against a team that is deep behind and we have to learn how to play in that situation. You can handle the ball faster, take more risks, shoot more goals, like we did the first goal.
On the performance of George and Achimpen
First of all, happy for the Chelsea Academy because he is our child. He played well in the first half and took responsibility and he might be better suited in midfield. I especially liked Achimpen tonight. He can be a good player for this club. A good player can make a difference in different positions and he showed that. I've loved him since we started working together, but tonight he showed that he can be a very good player for this club. He is willing to learn and adapt to different positions.
About the atmosphere of the stadium
I've watched a lot of games and know the environment. I say to the players it's an honour to play in a game like this and I think we're doing pretty well.
About Palmer
Our plan was for him and Adarabioyu to be substituted at the 45-minute mark. Everything was fine.
About the state of Nkunku
He's a little lacking in confidence at the moment, but the only solution is to work hard, and Nkunku is training hard every day.
