Chelsea captain Reece James expressed disappointment following a 2-1 defeat to Legia Warsaw, which he attributed to a lack of preparation and respect for the competition. Despite winning 4-2 on aggregate, James emphasized that the poor performance could affect the team's mindset going forward. Coach Enzo Maresca agreed, noting that the team didn't respect Legia enough, despite fielding a strong lineup. Their focus now shifts to an important Premier League match against Fulham, with a call to better engage their fans in upcoming games.
Reece James stated, "We had a 3-0 lead, maybe that played a part in taking our foot off the gas. If you don't prepare right, you will pay."
Enzo Maresca acknowledged Reece James’ sentiments, noting, "we need to engage [the fans], so it's what we have to do."
