Enzo Maresca has hit out at critics after Chelsea sealed their place in the UEFA Champions League next season. The Italian manager was delighted for his players after they finished in Premier League’s top 5 with a win over Nottingham Forest on the final day.
Speaking to the media, Maresca went on an X-rated rant and wanted his critics to ‘F*** off’ after the final day of the season. He added that his players were young and believed the critics were too quick to judge them. He said via Football London:
Speaking about Chelsea’s approach to the match, he added:
Chelsea secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground with Levi Colwill (50′) scoring the lone goal of the match. The Blues finished 4th in the table, 15 points behind Liverpool.
Enzo Maresca was quizzed about his plans for the summer, and the manager was quick to state that it was not important. The Chelsea manager claimed that the focus should now be on the UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday and said:
Chelsea take on Real Betis in the final on Wednesday, May 28, at the Stadion Miejski in Wrocław. The two sides are without a trophy this season and have all eyes on the silverware.
Enzo Maresca’s side will be the first team ever to win the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League if they win the final.
