Mariska: We Missed Scoring, and It's Difficult
Chelsea head coach Enzo Mariska spoke to the press following the 0-0 draw against Brentford in the 31st round of the Premier League.
The coach said: "I think we shot more than 20 times, and the only thing we missed was scoring, but overall, it was a good performance."
Regarding the lineup that played the match: "We played on Thursday night, so the idea was to start the match one way and finish it another. I think the plan almost worked. But we missed many chances."
On his opinion of the performance: "We can always perform better, not just today, but in general. When you shoot more than 20 times, you should have scored enough to win the match."
On balancing the Premier League and the Europa Conference League: "It's difficult, but at the same time, it's good because it means we are getting closer to the end."
On whether staying in the Conference League is good: "Honestly, when you are the coach of Chelsea, you have to win all the matches, not just in the Conference League. It's the same pressure."
