Maresca was pleased with his side’s professionalism in the opening match. Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said: “We are professional and have to adapt to any situation or environment. “What’s important is the behaviour of the players, the attitude, and once again today, they showed how professional they are and the desire they have, because it was important to win today and also not to concede a goal. “We finished the Premier League season and Conference League very strong defensively, without conceding many goals. Today we continued that and we want to stay with this attitude.” Meanwhile, Perry Groves was very impressed by Delap. Speaking on The Sports Bar, he said: “The big talking point is about Liam Delap. “His movement for Enzo Fernandez’s goal was outstanding, and the cross into the six-yard-box was perfect, and he’s put swazz on it. “I think he’s going to make a massive difference to Chelsea, and I said Arsenal should have bought him in January for £40m.” Watch all of the FIFA Club World Cup free on DAZN.
