Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his dissatisfaction regarding the scheduling of his teamâs matches leading up to the UEFA Conference League final. His team, Chelsea, will face Nottingham Forest in a Premier League match which is crucial for their Champions League qualification, while their final opponent Real Betis has an advantage with an additional two days to prepare, having played Valencia on Friday. Maresca emphasizes the unfairness of the situation, calling for regulations that ensure even preparation times for teams competing in European finals.
I am not happy, 100%. You cannot allow a team 48 hours more time when they are playing a European final.
I don't know if it's the Premier League, La Liga or UEFA [responsibility] but it is not normal to play a team who has had 48 hours more time than you.
It is not correct. I don't know who it is but there should be rules, absolutely yes.
Maresca said Chelsea's final league game should have been moved to match Betis, or the Spanish team's match moved to Sunday.
