Every word Enzo Maresca said on Estevao and triple Chelsea injury worry after Wolves win

Send Push

Second-half goals from Malo Gusto, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto saw Chelsea thump Wolves 3-0 in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

The victory fires the Blues up to second while the visitors remain rooted to the foot of the table as they close in on the appointment of Rob Edwards.

For Chelsea, it was the perfect way to respond to the underwhelming draw with Qarabag in midweek and it's now two league wins on the spin following last weekend's triumph at Tottenham.

Here is every word Enzo Maresca just said after his side earned all three points heading into the international break.

What did you think at half-time?

I was very, very, very happy at halftime, to be honest. The difference between halftime and second half has been that we just scored goals. When you don't concede nothing, nothing, nothing, and you create four or five chances, you have to be clinical. We said many times, otherwise the game is always open, anything can happen. But fortunately in the second half, we scored goals.

Garnacho got two assists and it's the first time he's played 90 minutes?

He arrived here from another club where he was not training 100%. So his physical condition was not good. Slowly, slowly, now it's better. He's doing very well on the ball, but he's doing very, very well off the ball. He knows that to play with us, he has to be good on the ball and off the ball. Otherwise, he's not going to play. We are very happy with him at this moment.

What did you make of Liam Delap's performance and why didn't Joao Pedro go upfront?

Liam's performance was not easy for many reasons. First of all, because it's a long time without playing minutes. Second, because they are 11 players, almost at the age, so there is no space for Liam in behind. Liam is a 9 that needs space. He needs to attack in behind, he needs to fight, he needs to do these kinds of things. Against him, that they are a low block, for him it's a bit more difficult because there is no space that he can attack. And then the reason why we put Pedro as a 9 is because João Pedro was not completely fit to continue to press in the way we were pressing with Liam. So the idea was to put Pedro and continue to be aggressive with Pedro. Simon, how surprised

Malo's goal - long time coming and have players been talking about it prior to tonight?

Finally. Last year it was Cucu scoring a goal as a full-back. Hopefully this season it can be Malo. But Malo arrives always inside the box when he's playing in the way we played tonight. He missed some goals, he missed some chances. But it was an important goal also because it gave us the 1-0 that opened the game.

This week a data company valued Estevao at over £100m already and made him the most valuable teenager after Lamine Yamal in world football. Did you see that and what do you make of it?

You can see that, absolutely. He's top, he's a talent. Again, we are trying to help him to adapt and to give him the right meals. He's doing fantastic and for this club in the next 5-10 years he will be a top, top player.

Part of your job has been to try to stop a little bit some of the hype and excitement to help him. That's impossible, surely?

Absolutely, yes. I said already twice that the reason why fans pay tickets is because they want to see players like Estevao, like Cole. Because people are happy when they are inside the pitch. The only difference is that Estevao arrived from Brazil and needs a little bit to adapt. Slowly, slowly for sure he's going to start a game for us in the future.

Fans reacted to Estevao sub, useful to have a player like him in game like this?

Yes, but we understand. I was very worried before this game. Because these are the worst games, these are tricky games. Because everyone is thinking that it's going to be easy, blah, blah, blah. And then it's one second. So I can understand that in the first half people were not happy. Probably because we didn't score. I don't think because of the performance, to be honest. And then when Estevao was inside, the energy raised. It's because people love that kind of player. So we are happy that he can help the team. And also the fans, they can be happy.

Caicedo injured?

No, he was OK. He was OK. Just a kick, first half, in his knee. But he finished the game. I asked him after the game if he was OK. Joao Pedro, Neto and Enzo, they asked for a change. Because Pedro had a problem with his groin. And Enzo had a problem with his knee. So we need to see how they are now.
