Cobham, England, UK. 23rd September, 2024
1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea head coach:
(On the importance of the EFL Cup)
“No, no, it’s important, but not because we think that we’re going to win this competition, (but) in terms of it’s important because it’s an official game. It’s a different competition, but it’s, as I said, it’s an official game. So we’re going to try in the way we always try to prepare the game in the best way and try to win. But to think in the first game already thinking that because we were close last year, this year we want to… for sure, we want to try to win all the games. But the main focus has to be that it’s an official game and we we need to do our best to win the game.”
2. 00:40 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea head coach:
(On Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and his place in the Chelsea squad)
“We also need to understand that Kiernan was the main player at Leicester, arrive here now and is not the main player. He’s one of the player(s). For him, for any players in the world, you need to adapt, mentally you need to adapt because you go from, ‘ok, I’m the main player here, I’m one on the player(s)’. And that period requires a little bit (of) time that you understand that and you adapt to that. But I’m completely happy with Kiernan.”
3. 01:12 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea head coach:
(On the players who are not starting in the Premier League getting minutes on the pitch)
“Absolutely, like him (Dewsbury-Hall) and like all the rest of the players that they are not starting in the Premier League, but they are going to start in the Conference (League) or in the Carabao (Cup), the different competitions.”
4. 01:28 SOUNDBITE (English): Enzo Maresca, Chelsea head coach:
(On the players who are not starting in the Premier League, especially Mykhailo Mudryk and Benoit Badiashile)
“Now, it’s important for him, but it’s important for all of the rest, the other players. They are players that they train every day. Very good. But unfortunately, I cannot give them a chance. Like, I don’t know, Benoit. Benoit has been working very well, but he’s not getting minutes in the Premier League. But it’s not because he’s doing bad is because sometimes you have to take some decision(s). But Misha (Mudryk), like Benoit, like all the players that they are not getting so many chances, tomorrow is a good chance for them to get minutes and to hopefully win the game.

STORYLINE:
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said on Monday that US$ 40million signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will succeed at Stamford Bridge once he mentally adapts to his new surroundings.
The 26 year-old English midfielder, who followed Maresca from Leicester City to west London during the summer, is in line to start Tuesday evening’s Carabao Cup third-round tie with League Two leaders Barrow.
Dewsbury-Hall is yet to begin a Premier League match for the Blues and been restricted to just 43 minutes of top-flight action across three substitute appearances.
"I’m very happy with Kiernan," said Maresca. "We also need to understand that Kiernan was the main player at Leicester. He arrived here and now he’s not the main player. He’s one of the players."
