After losing to Brighton 1-3, Chelsea coach Maresca attended the press conference and said the team cannot continue to make mistakes.

In the first 53 minutes, you must have felt that the team was in control of the game, and then what happened, how do you explain?

—It is indeed as you said, it is difficult to accept. We dominate the game, scored a goal, had more chances, and had no conced. According to the data, we had a 70% possession rate in the first half and also had a lot of shots. But suddenly, the whole plan changed completely due to our mistakes and red cards. In my opinion, the game is divided into two parts: the first half and after the red card.

Did you cause trouble for yourself because of these red cards? Is it possible for Disasi to come back?

- Of course we can't continue to make mistakes, because from the perspective of game changes, these mistakes are all big mistakes, such as the red card against Manchester United and today's red card. After that, we tried to adjust, Achimpon came on as a substitute, but he had been ill last week. Our two centre-backs at the time were Achimpon and Harto, who were definitely very good players and very talented, but they didn't play many times in the Premier League, so when you 10 players fight, you have to manage the situation well.

Then there is another question, the answer is the same as yesterday, the club did not mention it to me, so there is no news.

About the conflict between Badiacile and Dunk, is your team out of control?

-I didn't see the moment you mentioned, so I don't know if it was Badiacile's problem or the Brighton player's problem. I think it's also related to the momentum at that time, but I don't think this kind of thing is what leads to the goal conced.

This may mean that if things are not good for you, don't make yourself too nervous. I think this must be the key message...

- The message we just conveyed internally is very clear: you can't continue to give gifts against any team in the Premier League. Our gifts are red cards during this period, which is a huge mistake because the game has completely changed.

Egbali and the sports director went to the player channel after the game - they went to the locker room as usual, we had an office in the locker room, and after each game we would sit there to discuss the game, but they said nothing to the players, nothing.

When you substitute a player, you are a defensive player. Have you ever thought about replacing an offensive player?

-Yes, because of the red card, our first substitution adjustment was to replace Santos with Achimpon because we needed a central defender. Gusto came on the court because Minter faced Reese James one-on-one many times, so we tried to give Reese James some help, and the last substitution was because Harto had a cramp.

Why do the team make these mistakes?

- We certainly need to learn, and we need to learn quickly, so this may be the accumulation of experience. As for injuries, I think if you only watch the first half of today, you won’t think about the player’s injury, because we controlled the game and controlled the situation in the first half. Then, I want to say it again, that's the reality of the past two Premier League games, and unfortunately, two red cards have changed everything.
