Enzo Maresca on Chelsea's 4-3 win against Spurs in PL
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca shared his thoughts on his squad bagging a 4-3 victory against Tottenham Hotspur in their 15th Premier League clash of the season. While speaking in the post-match conference, the Italian manager appreciated the Blues comeback win in the away game and said:
"It’s an important win, firstly for the way it arrived, because to come in this stadium against this team and concede two goals, and then continue with the same plan on and off the ball, shows how the players are mentally strong. We are trying to work with the players on an off the pitch, but we’re also trying to work on mentality and togetherness. To come in this stadium and think you are going to win without suffering is impossible."
"For that, probably it’s the perfect win because two goals down, it was the worst picture for us, even if we were in control. We conceded two goals from Cucu, we created chances, we controlled the game, we kept the ball. At half-time we changed something tactically, and second half we deserved to win," added Maresca.
Enzo Maresca's squad maintained a ball possession of 61% against Spurs while having eight shots on target. With this win, the Blues are currently second on the Premier League table with 31 points.
