On September 25, in the EFL Cup third-round match that concluded in the early hours of today, Chelsea thrashed League Two side Barrow 5-0. After the game, coach Maresca was asked by a reporter from hayters TV, “Would you consider putting Nkunku and Jackson on the field together?”
Maresca responded, “The issue is about defensive balance because we could consider having Jackson, Nkunku, Felix, Palmer, and Mudryk all play together, which would be great, but then who would defend? Me or you? We need someone to drop back and defend. The question is, I want them all to play because I really love football, I really love ball possession. The issue is, when you lose the ball, you must defend, and not everyone can defend at the same level.”
