""I believe Enzo has a good connection with the supporters but any victory in the last second, any victory against Liverpool, Arsenal, big teams, can give you a little bit more and extra things. "In the last 30 minutes, the whole crowd were pushing, living the game and that's what we want to create. That environment which is nasty for the away team and gives you a little bit more legs or wings to run in the last couple of minutes."
"After Cody Gakpo's 63rd-minute strike cancelled out Moisés Caicedo's stunning first-half opener, substitute Estêvão Willian's 95th-minute finish secured a last-gasp victory which Maresca celebrated by sprinting down the touchline to join his players. The Italian manager was subsequently sent off by referee Anthony Taylor and did not conduct his usual post-match media duties, leaving assistant coach Caballero to speak on his behalf."
Chelsea secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool with Estêvão Willian scoring in the 95th minute after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Moisés Caicedo's first-half opener. Enzo Maresca sprinted down the touchline in celebration and was later sent off, missing post-match media duties. Assistant coach Willy Caballero spoke on Maresca's behalf and said the late victory could strengthen the connection between the manager and the supporters. Caballero praised the crowd's influence in the final 30 minutes and urged creating that hostile, energising atmosphere for more home games. Maresca had hoped fans might one day sing his name like José Mourinho.
