FT: Chelsea 3-0 Barcelona<\/p>\n

\"\"Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, speaking to Amazon Prime: “It is a good win. To be honest, it was no more than that. We knew how important this game was, but they are all important games. When you beat Barcelona, it is always nice so we are happy today.<\/p>\n

“We dropped points at Qarabag away, then we won against Benfica and Ajax, then we lost the last one against Bayern Munich. That shows all of these games are complicated.”<\/p>\n

“Barcelona are a team that feel comfortable when they have the ball. If they don’t have the ball, they don’t feel comfortable so we tried to keep the ball. Even 11v11, my feeling was very good because the team was playing well.<\/p>\n

“The defensive part is always important because you need balance. Fortunately, in the last month, we have started finishing games with clean sheets in the Premier League. It’s something you need to do if you want to achieve important things.”<\/p>\n

On 18-year-old Estevao Willian scoring: “It was a huge night for him, but I think it is also a huge night for the whole club and all the fans. It is a very nice for everyone.<\/p>\n

“We will see [if he starts against Arsenal]. For now, it’s time for us to recover our energy.”<\/p>\n

On the value his side took from the Club World Cup: “Winning it was very important for my players in terms of confidence because they realised that they can win games against any team. When you’re trying to build a winning mentality, you need to win games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘When you beat Barcelona, it is always nice’published at 22:51 GMT 25 November 22:51 GMT 25 November FT:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-284100","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
