Chelsea manager Enzo Mariska spoke to the press after the 1-0 victory over Leicester City in the 28th round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "This is why I was so happy in the end. The players gave their all and were incredible. It's not pleasant to prepare for something and have the other team come in and it be completely different. Between the first and second halves, we created enough to win the match."

He added: "Marc [Cucurella] scored a wonderful goal, but we had more chances to score a second. It wasn't easy for the players because we had to adapt, and they did that brilliantly."

Regarding Cole Palmer and his missed penalty: "Cole [Palmer] will miss more penalties in life. From the outside, it's hard to understand that; he wasn't well during the night but wanted to be there to help win the game. With Cole, we are happy with him."

He emphasized: "Sometimes fans don't understand how difficult it is. We prepared in the last three matches for one match, and Leicester played differently. We need 12 players on the pitch, and I believe we can get there."

On the goalkeepers: "We kept a clean sheet with Philip [Jørgensen] and today with Robert Sánchez. We are happy."
