Every word Enzo Maresca & Marc Cucurella said before Copenhagen against Chelsea

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and defender Marc Cucurella spoke to the press in the conference league before their last clash against Copenhagen.

The blues have a profit rate of 100 percent in competition since they lost their qualification against Servette in the second on -board.

Maresca hopes that the European trophy can be the first trophy that he as Chelsea manager will be after the outputs of his team in the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.

Chelsea sits outside the top four in the Premier League, as a title race collapsed at the beginning of the season after a break -in in December.

Maresca has named a 21-player tour group and has many options when Chelsea goes into the field in Denmark.

The head coach was accompanied by defender Cucurella when the couple spoke to the press on Thursday evening.

Enzo Maresca

On Copenhagen

“A very good team. You are great in the league in the conference. A good manager. Will be a hard game. Very clear what you try to do on the ball, especially, but also outside the ball. I have been together for a long time. Don’t change the way you want to play.”

On Palmer’s form

“I am happy about the way he was in the last game, or even in the villa with two great chances. In some moments he will not always score a goal, that’s normal. The good thing is that it is there. If he achieves, we are all happy. At the same time we are fine. It’s okay, no problem.”

About how Chelsea can improve

“We try to concentrate on what we do better, not only in games, but in training units. The main focus is on improving the players.

On Benoit Badiail and Trevoh Chalobah

“Both ready. Trev, luckily not something serious. Ben is back, trained for the last few weeks and days. Wes (Fofana) is not in the squad, but also back. Romeo (Lavia) started to train with us. We are slowly backing back, it is important for the last rush of the season.”

Holded players return to Chelsea’s injured players

Marc Cucurella

On the latest form

“We didn’t get the best weeks for us. Before that we played good football. In December it looked like we were the best players, the best team in the league. Now it looks like we were one of the worst teams. This can certainly happen. If we are young, we have a new manager.

On Chelsea fans who protest against Southampton

The most important thing is that we can show that we have a lot of energy, we want this badge in the best way.” We can understand your frustrations, but it is a long project. We are in a good way. Hopefully we can win something this season. “

When winning the conference league

“If we win everything, it is easier. We have a good opportunity to play against a hard team tomorrow. If we win this competition, we have the opportunity to bring a trophy. It would be the first time that Chelsea won this trophy. It could be something special. It is a great opportunity to show that we are ready.”

When Chelsea players have high standards

“Sure. You can improve every day, everything can be better. We are the same players who have won all games, but maybe with less self -confidence. This is part of football. We have no excuses. We have the quality.”

Play so many games for club and land

“It’s hard. We don’t have too much peace. We have to be ready, best recover and be ready for the next game. It is true that we play a lot of games.”

Be regarded as a “elevator dealer”

“Well … I think everyone has this role (to keep pressure from the team). I do my best to always help the team. As a young squad, the age doesn’t matter, we have to show that we are ready. We can improve, it is not an excuse. If we are ready, we are ready. It doesn’t matter that it plays age. Tomorrow. We don’t have to gain the game for Chelsea, if you have to win for Chelsea, if you At the end of the season, if they showed that it was shown that it showed that it was shown that it was shown that it was that it is to show, to show that it was showing that it was showing that it was showing that it showed that it was shown that it was showing that it was showing that it was showing that it was showing that it was showing that it was showing that it was.

About the importance of winning a trophy

On Robert Sanche

“It is difficult, because before I suffered a bit like Robert. He is fine. The most important thing is that he wins again. I have stayed in Brighton and the national team, I know his skills. He is a person, he can have good and bad moments. It’s about how he reacts in these bad moments. He has the trust.”

At his penguin celebration

The celebration, many people think, it is because of it (against Spurs). It is because I saw on the Internet that penguins choose a partner and a family for their lives. I want to remember my family. They always support me in my best and worst moments so that the celebration is for them. “

Tore scored
