Mariska: It was an important result, and I am happy about it

Chelsea's coach Enzo Mariska appeared in press statements after the 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the 30th round of the Premier League.

The coach said: "It was an important result because we are approaching the end of the season. At the same time, we strive to achieve it in the way we want."

He added: "At times, the team was very good, but we weren't playing every day, and we didn't want to finish the match as we did in the last five minutes. If we want to become an important team, we have to win in a bad and ugly way, and I am very happy about that."

He continued: "Overall, I think it was a very good performance, and I believe we deserved to win the match, as we created enough chances in the first half to score. In the last ten minutes, I think the team showed effort, unity, and high spirit, and that is something we need."

He added: "If we measure it by the result, winning the Champions League is certainly important, but from my perspective, I try to see how we improve day by day, and I see, since day one, that the team is getting better and better."

He concluded: "Caicedo is very humble, very nice, and very great; he is one of the best defensive midfielders, if not the best, in the world right now. The best thing about Moisés is that he works hard every day. He is a role model."
