Chelsea's coach Enzo Mariska appeared in press statements after the victory over Los Angeles with a score of two goals to none in the first round of the group stage of the Club World Cup.

The coach said: "An excellent result. At this stage of the season, it is normal for us to deal with various matters. Overall, the performance was good."

Regarding Liam Diallo's first participation: "The advantage with Liam is that he knows our playing style, so the process of adapting is very quick. He also gave us the opportunity for Dario Isogu, who is another player we have, so this is good for both of them."
