Enzo Maresca on Chelsea's second-leg loss against Servette

Blues head coach Enzo Maresca shared his thoughts after his squad faced defeat against Servette in the second leg of play-off in the UEFA Conference League. In the post-match conference, the Italian manager mentioned he was "very worried" about the clash (via Chelsea News):

"I think the first half an hour was comfortable and we had three or four chances to make it 2-0. Then we concede the goal and it’s normal to suffer a little bit. I was very worried about this game.

"For them, it’s probably their biggest game of the season. This kind of game, you have many things to lose and not many things to win. This is why I was so worried yesterday and before the game."

The Blues are set to play against Crystal Palace in their next Premier League fixture on September 1 at Stamford Bridge.
