Chelsea’s 2-1 loss to Liverpool left Enzo Maresca feeling that his team “deserved something more.” With Curtis Jones’ goal to settle the match at Anfield, the Blues suffered just their second Premier League loss of the year. Mohamed Salah’s first-half penalty had been cancelled out by Nicolas Jackson’s goal just minutes after the game restarted, but Chelsea lost the chance to move up to third place.
Maresca is certain that his team will be able to walk out of Anfield smiling. The player expressed his satisfaction with the performance to Sky Sports, saying, “We don’t like to lose or drop points.” “We deserved something more, but the performance was good.” For most of the game, we were in control. We possessed possessions and opportunities. Although we dislike losing, this is the course of action if we must make a decision. In and out of the game, the team displayed bravery.
One of the best performances of the season
In an interview with BBC Match of the Day following Chelsea’s defeat to Liverpool, Enzo Maresca stated, “We don’t like to drop points and lose a game, but if you have to choose a way, this is the way.” We came here to try to manage the game and dominate it. I thought our performance was outstanding, especially because we spent most of the game on their half of the field.
“There are some decisions that have been clear for everyone; the referee is there to take a decision, and they decide in a different way,” the referees said in reference to their decisions. Our performance was possibly the best of the entire season, so even though we lost, it was upsetting.”
