4 games 3 red cards! Maresca: The good news is that we are improving, and 10 players can win the game

October 1: In the second round of the Champions League stage, Chelsea defeated Benfica 1-0 at home. After the game, Chelsea coach Maresca accepted an interview with TNT.

Maresca said: "The team's efforts are worthy of recognition. We performed better than the second half in the first half in possession and opportunities. The team's form has declined after entering the second half."

"We have conceded two or three goals in each of the last two or three games, which is unacceptable. We need to do better on the defensive end, but it feels great to have a clean sheet of opponents."

Speaking of Joao Pedro's red card, Maresca said: "The positive side is that we are improving, and we can win even if we fight ten people. But I don't think his second yellow card did not meet his opponent, but the action itself looks more dangerous."

"For us, this is a journey from this season, and after each game, we are constantly improving."
