Latest Chelsea updates

🚨Enzo Fernandez: "When I arrived, there were so many players coming and going. It was a hard period with so many players in the dressing room.

We almost didn’t all fit! I think there were 30 of us or even over 30 players. It was crazy."

“Now you can see how settled we are and what a talented squad we have. We are a really good side and we all get on well on and off the pitch.

For the last 18 months to two years, we’ve had such positive feelings here.”

Enzo Fernández on his arrival at Chelsea:

“It was a very difficult negotiation, I had to call the president of Benfica to get him to accept the offer. He wanted me to stay.

Enzo Fernandez:

"I wanted to come to Chelsea at all costs and didn’t want to let the opportunity pass me by. Everyone knows that and thank God it worked out. I’m here now and I’m very happy! (Ben Jacobs)

Worrying.

Enzo Maresca: "Moises Caicedo is always the same way, a top player for us. The desire from him is to try and win the game. It's football."

Enzo Maresca: "I struggle to understand the different ways to judge. What about Rodrigo Bentancur to Reece James? Why is one a red card and one isn't? I think it's a red card tonight, it's clear. Why the difference? It is what it is."

Enzo Maresca: "11 v 11, we were better than them. We tried to exploit the best solution, the best space. We knew the space was for Malo Gusto and Estevao on that side. Tonight we can be happy, even if we didn't win."

(SkySports)

Enzo Maresca: "I think we showed we are heading in the right direction. I always say the same. The performance was fantastic. We were a much better team than them 11 v 11, but with 10 players, it is difficult. We dealt with it outstandingly."

Pat Nevin: "I think that was more than fine for - I really do. There's been a maturing of this team over the past number of months, from the summer, and it's noticeable. They have come a long, long way."
