Enzo Mariska: This is important, and we fought until the end

Chelsea's coach Enzo Mariska appeared in a press statement after the 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the 28th round of the English Premier League.

The coach said: "I think we continued to play until the end. There wasn't a big difference between the two matches. Due to injuries, we fought until the end. After the international break, we can recover more players like Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke to participate in the second half."

Regarding dealing with injuries: "We competed well, and we stayed in the game. They scored a goal from a set piece; they are skilled at that. It's unfortunate, but I feel we are heading in the right direction."

He emphasized: "We controlled the game and created some chances. In the second half, we were present. Overall, I think we competed very well."

On Robert Sanchez: "We are very happy with our goalkeepers, and Robert was good today."

Regarding the competition for Champions League qualification: "It's important for us and for all the teams involved. When you win, you are close to the goal, but when you lose, you can see yourself far from it."
