Marco Silva described the West London derby against Chelsea as a "final" for Fulham, highlighting their need to secure a strong result to continue pursuing European qualification after a recent setback against Bournemouth. Despite missing out on Champions League hopes, Fulham is still aiming for the Europa League or Conference League. Chelsea, on the other hand, seeks to rebound after disappointing performances in recent matches. Silva spoke about the positive culture shift since his arrival in 2022, while Chelsea's Enzo Maresca defended his decisions to rotate players during a poor Conference League outing.
We have our goals to fight for. Any game is going to be important because the season is coming to an end.
When I joined, the club was down. The fans were not happy, it was a process to create our own identity and philosophy.
We are, for sure, not happy about the Conference League result, but at the same time, we try to manage a little bit and rotate players.
