Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca reflects on his team’s thrilling 2-1 win over Liverpool and jokes that his red card was ‘worth it’.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has spoken about the thrilling 2-1 win over Liverpool, saying his red card in the final minutes of the game was “worth it”.

Maresca was sent off for a second bookable offense after celebrating Estevao’s late winner with the fans. Despite the dismissal, Maresca felt the reaction was instinctive and justified by the excitement of the moment.

Maresca spoke about the win at the Festival dello Sport in Trento, where he was a guest speaker alongside other notable figures in football. He expressed his satisfaction with the win, especially the fact that they came from behind to win in the final minutes of the game.

The Italian coach also reflected on the pressure he faced after taking over at Chelsea, a club that has struggled in recent years. Maresca mentioned that he felt the weight of being the only Italian not to have won a title in Italy, but fortunately, his time at Chelsea has gone well so far. Bringing the club back to the top has been a satisfying experience for him.

Maresca’s Chelsea side has been making waves this season, and their recent win over Liverpool is their biggest statement yet.

The red card means Maresca will miss Chelsea’s next match against Nottingham Forest on October 18. However, he will be back on the sidelines for the Champions League clash against Ajax four days later.
