Following a disappointing 2-1 loss to Legia Warsaw, Chelsea's captain Reece James voiced frustration over the team's performance and decisions made during the match. Despite advancing to the Conference League semi-finals, the defeat drew boos from fans and left doubts about head coach Enzo Maresca's strategies, particularly his rotation policy. James emphasized the importance of respect for opponents and preparation, while Maresca acknowledged James' concerns about the team's approach to both the match and the competition itself.
"We are making progress, [but] that was for sure not progress, if anything a step back. Maybe we disrespected the competition today. If you don't prepare right, you'll pay."
"For sure Reece is right. More than the competition, Chelsea 'disrespected' the opposition."
