by The head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca, was concerned about the “simple chances” of his team after being caught in the semi -finals of the Conference League despite a defeat against Legia Warsaw.
The 2-1 defeat against the team, which was currently fifth in Polish EkstraKlasa, full-time, and was the second home game in a row, in which the fans had loudly expressed their growing dissatisfaction.
Things could have been different if Cole Palmer had taken an easy chance to end his three -month drought within the first five minutes and to leaf through his shot when Christopher Nkunku asked for a good opening on the goal.
The recording of Palmer and striker Nicolas Jackson was a surprise in view of the score in the first leg and that Chelsea was locked up in a close fight to qualify for the Champions League and see on Sunday in Fulham in Fulham.
“The (opportunities) that we miss are unfortunately very simple goals,” said Maresca.
“Tonight we had two chances in the first five minutes, but it can happen. Hopefully Nico and Cole can start scoring goals very soon because they are very important to us.
“The idea was only for her, especially for Nico after more than two months, the idea was to continue building the physical condition for him. To give you a little speed to be better for Sunday.
“If you are able to score a goal, it could be a good thrust. But we have made the first leg result, but the good thing is that we have six Premier League games that are important to us. Fortunately, we can turn players.”
Chelsea is exposed to the Swedish side of Djurg-Arnen in the semifinals, but was sweated by Legia, which was beaten after 10 minutes with a penalty of a penalty of the former Tottenham player Tomas Pekhart, who was held home after the contraception of goalkeeper Filip Jorgenens.
Marc Cucurella scored his sixth goal of the season to compensate for, but Chelsea was caught from a corner again at the beginning of the second half. Claude Goncalves was released on the edge of the box to bring a corner towards the goal, and before Jorgensen was Steve Kapaudi, who set off.
“We are not satisfied with the defeat, but after the first leg we probably tried to manage the result, turn players and avoid injuries because we have an important game on Sunday. Not satisfied with the result, but we are in the semi -finals.”
Maresca added that he saw no reason for the alarm regarding the reaction of the trailers.
“The environment was good for me tonight, I didn’t see any bad moments of the fans. We have to include them.”
Legia boss Goncalo Feio thought about how close his side came to stage a shock.
“It is easy to get into the mistake that people make them believe that things are not possible,” he said.
“We played an amazing opponent. The lesson I want to make my players for all their career is that there are no impossible things.”
