On August 4th, Chelsea lost 2-4 to Manchester City in a pre-season friendly. After the game, head coach Maresca said that the game was quite strange. In fact, Chelsea had prepared well before the game, and the team played well in the first half, but everything went wrong after conceding the first goal.
Maresca said: “It was a very strange game. We prepared well for this game, the game plan was excellent. In the first half, aside from the two goals conceded, we actually played well.”
“That’s how football sometimes goes, you prepare well, and then you concede a goal and the game changes immediately. In terms of possession, we did create chances to score, but we were lacking in the final third, especially in one-on-one situations in key areas.”
