Post-match press conference with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca after their 3-1 defeat to Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League.  Maresca admits Leeds were better than Chelsea “in all aspects” on the night and says there is “nothing we can take from this game” except to understand the mistakes and reset quickly with another match in 48 hours. He explains that the team cannot always perform at the same level after intense games against Barcelona and Arsenal, stresses the impact of rotation when key players like Moisés Caicedo, Reece James and Wesley Fofana cannot play every two or three days, and accepts that the level drops when those players are missing.  He says no one reached their best level in this match, highlights his goalkeeper and goalscorer as Chelsea’s standout performers, and reflects on how Leeds were stronger on and off the ball, in duels and second balls. Maresca also explains substituting Esteban at half-time to protect him from a possible red card after a booking, noting the emotional impact of an 18-year-old experiencing a “big, big impact” of Premier League football at Elland Road.  📺 Please subscribe, like the video and share wherever you can!  ⚠️ DO NOT copy and re-upload any part of this video anywhere otherwise copyright strikes will be made!

00:00OK, who wants to get us underway?

00:10Nizar.

00:11Hi Nizar, I was wondering where do you think that performance came from because I felt

00:17that you were in amazing form and then today I didn't see the team that I saw in the last

00:21two games.

00:22Yeah, no, I think they were better than us in all the aspects, they deserved to win

00:28the game, there is nothing that we can take from this game, the only thing we can do is

00:34try to understand the mistake we have done, try to reset because again in 48 hours we

00:42have one more game.

00:44What do you think happened between the Arsenal game and today?

00:48No, but it's not because we performed so well against Arsenal or so well against Barcelona

00:55all so well the last month that we are going to perform always in the same way.

01:00For different reasons it's not possible because of the situation that you have to manage, players

01:06that you have to rotate, so for sure for different reasons the level is not going to be always

01:13the same.

01:15When you come here but at home away against any team, if you don't perform 100% Premier

01:22League is tough against any team.

01:24Simon?

01:25Benzo, for pretty sure what you're saying, does it sometimes accuse you where this kind

01:30of performance comes from after watching the last two games and does it sort of emphasise

01:36how this team can't really be trusted yet to be a title contender when they keep throwing

01:41in this league before?

01:43No, for sure when you play the last two games against Barcelona and Arsenal, you expect better

01:49performance, no doubt.

01:51But for many reasons it's not going to be possible for every game, again, because we change players,

01:59because we have players that we said many times that for them it's not possible to play

02:02every two or three days.

02:04When you change players, also the level drop is the reality because they are important players

02:11for us but they can be important players for any team, Moy, Rhys, West, these kind of players,

02:16but we cannot use them every game, it's impossible because otherwise they can get injury again and

02:21be out for a month and month and month.

02:23Is there a concern then that the players that are coming in for them have got to do more in

02:28that game?

02:29I think tonight the game, there is no one that was at his level or best level.

02:37I think all the teams, all the ones probably, Pedro in second half, Garner in second half,

02:42they were our best players because after we scored the goal we had two chances with Kool

02:48and with Joao but then the third goal I think killed the game.

02:52Tom?

02:53You say that Leeds were better in last minutes to that, you say they would go away and you

02:58look at that.

02:59Your initial assessments as to why they're playing for them?

03:01Say again, sorry.

03:02What are your initial assessments as to why they're playing for them?

03:07I hope that we had a bad night because it's a game that you struggle to find something that

03:15you can take from the game.

03:17I think, again, they were on the ball, off the ball, duels, second ball, they were much

03:23better than us in all the aspects.

03:26Not to suggest that this is the only reason why you lost, do you feel that Jermain glanced

03:31or missed?

03:32What is this?

03:33He provides that link to the centre-backs, he offers an option of course of such a good

03:38tackle and intercept.

03:39Do you feel you missed him today?

03:40I think, again, we miss Moy tonight, we're going to miss Moy in the next game.

03:45He's an important player.

03:46In the same way, even if the results were different, but in the same way we miss Cole,

03:51in the same way we miss players that for us are important.

03:54Moy is a player that for us is an important player for any team in the world because he's

04:00top.

04:01Mike?

04:02Inzo, with the half-time substitution, were you protecting Estevez?

04:07Do you think he might get the red card playing 45 minutes on the yellow?

04:12I think the feeling with Estevez was a little bit welcome to Premier League, welcome to Leeds.

04:20The impact for him has been probably a big, big impact for him and the reason why we changed

04:27him is because he was already a yellow card and sometimes with 18 you struggle also to manage

04:34emotion.

04:35So it was better to change him and to avoid any red card.

04:43OK, thanks guys.
