In the second round of the Premier League, Madueke scored a hat-trick, with Palmer contributing one goal and three assists, ultimately leading Chelsea to a 6-2 away victory over Wolves. After the match, Chelsea’s head coach, Maresca, spoke to the media.
Maresca said, “We made some adjustments in the second half and performed better. I thought our approach in the first half was good, but we conceded four or five easy goals from set-pieces and counterattacks. The performance in the second half was completely different; we didn’t make mistakes and controlled the game. The tactical plan remained the same in the second half, but we were more accurate and did not give away easy goals.”
When asked if Chelsea could maintain such an offensive output every week, he said, “That is our goal, but other teams want to do the same, so it’s not easy. In the first 10 minutes of the game, we created two or three chances and scored a goal, but then we started making mistakes. Overall, the performance was good. Of course, there are always areas that need improvement; we can learn a lot.”
Regarding Madueke, he stated, “In the first 10 minutes of the game, he had two chances and overall performed well. The only thing I didn’t like was the foul he committed before halftime which led to a set-piece. We could have avoided that, especially against a team that performs well from set-pieces.”
