"You're not going to win games or titles by just scoring goals, you need to defend," Maresca told reporters ahead of Thursday's Europa Conference League match at Astana. He emphasized the importance of defensive strength in Chelsea's success this season. Despite conceding three goals against Tottenham, Maresca pointed out that Chelsea had one of the strongest defensive records in the league, with only two clubs conceding fewer. This proved crucial in maintaining their position in the Premier League standings.
Maresca stated, "Even after conceding three goals against Spurs, there are just two clubs that have conceded less than us so that means defensively we are doing quite well." This highlights Chelsea's resilience in defense, indicating that the team focuses on both attacking and defensive strategies. It reinforces the idea that a solid defense is integral to achieving success in the league, as evidenced by their current ranking and lower goals conceded compared to rivals.
