If you ever doubted Enzo Maresca and this Chelsea team’s ability to deliver Champions League football back to Stamford Bridge, well, then he has just one teeny tiny little itty-bitty minuscule thing he’d like to ask from you.
It’s nothing big, really.
No, really. Just a small favor.
It’s simply ... how to say ... just, kindly, [FUN] right off.
Please and thank you.
“I didn’t have any doubt about the players. The doubt was from outside.
“All the ones that have the answers or the ones that have the truth, they were saying that we are too young, we are not good enough, they were waiting for Aston Villa to drop points for us to achieve the Champions League. They were saying that we were not able to win on this pitch because we are too young, because we are not experienced.
“Unfortunately for them, they have all been wrong. All the ones that have the truth and have the answer to everything.
“So in English, how you say? F off to all of them, because the players deserve that. The effort they have been doing is fantastic.”

(Last night’s 1-0 win at Forest was the first win we managed against at top-eight side away all season and was just our second win in our last eleven away Premier League games. Never in doubt!)
