May 29 In the European Union final, Chelsea defeated Betis 4-1, winning the European Union championship in the team's first history. After the game, Maresca was interviewed by TNT.
Maresca said: "I am very proud and happy about it for many reasons. Personally, I feel good, but the fans deserve this joy, and they have been waiting for it for several years, so they deserve it."
"The club has invested a lot of money in the past two or three years, so they are waiting for the results. Hopefully this will be a starting point. Starting tonight, starting from this season, build important goals."
On the goal of next season, Maresca said: "We will work hard again. Now we will enjoy a week to ten days or so, and then start over."
Regarding Sancho's future, Maresca said: "I said at a press conference yesterday. From now on, we will sit down with the club to discuss and decide on the arrangements for next season. We end up with fourth place, thanks to Sancho; we won tonight, thanks to Sancho. We have a certain form in one season It's normal to go ups and downs, and it's part of the game."
Regarding not letting Rees James start, Maresca said: "I promise you that I always want Rees start, but I'm trying to protect him. He's played more games this season than in the past two or three years. He knows that, he's our top player."
"To us, he's as important as Palmer, but we have to manage him well. When I replaced him, he said to me: 'Old Don't worry, we'll win the game.'"
Regarding Gusto, Maresca said: "Gusto will tell you that he is one of my favorite players, but the problem is that concedes the ball, he passes the ball wrong. They are young and don't understand that it doesn't matter if they make mistakes, they have to keep going. But when we concede the ball and lead to the loss of points, his form is away from the game. He knows and understands that, but to me, Gusto is a top player."
