​🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-Palmeiras Press Conference - Part 1/2:

🔹Enzo Maresca on Diogo Jota and Andre Silva: "It is a very sad day. I struggle to find the words. It's very difficult. You feel a little bit helpless. The only thing I can say is all my love to their family. It's a big tragedy."

🔹Enzo Maresca confirms Pedro Neto will be offered compassionate leave if he wants to take it: "It's very sad. We are also close to Pedro. It's his decision. I had a chat this morning. Any decision he will take is the correct one. It doesn't matter if he's on the pitch or not. It all depends on how he is feeling tomorrow."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "We prepare a game against Palmeiras, not Estevao. He will play for them, we don't care about if he plays for Chelsea in the future. We try to beat Palmeiras, not Estevao. We think about them as a team."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "This competition is special for Palmeiras, and also us. We are happy and grateful to be here. We work everyday not to just have fun, but to win games. Tomorrow we can play a game that we can hopefully continue and beat Palmeiras."

🔹Enzo Maresca on Romeo Lavia: "We are not sure if Romeo can be fit. He had a small problem at the end of the last game against Benfica. It is just a muscle problem. Tomrorow we will see if he is fit. Otherwise we will need to find a different solution because Moises Caicedo is suspended."

🔹Enzo Maresca on facing Estêvão Willian: "He's a Palmeiras player. I never spoke with him since he signed for Chelsea, but I met his family at Cobham. They are a nice, fantastic family. We will talk about his future once he joins Chelsea. Everyone knows he's a talented player."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "We had two games here. The facilities were good. Overall, it has been a very good feeling to be here in Philadelphia."

​🎙Enzo Maresca's Full Pre-Palmeiras Press Conference - Part 2/2:

🔹Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer: "Cole can play in both sides. He was playing against Benfica in the left pocket. During the season, he already played games in the left pocket."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "Chelsea you always have to play games to win games. Football is full of surprised, especially in this competition. Football is not about expectation, it's about what you do on the pitch. We respect Palmeiras. We need to be ready to win."

🔹Enzo Maresca on Enzo Fernandez: "Very, very good. If we achieve what we achieve, and we are where we are, it's also because of Enzo. He's [now] one of the main players."

🔹Enzo Maresca on Jamie Gittens: "I don't have any update. I don't know. Not yet, probably something can happen. I don't have any more information about that."

🔹Enzo Maresca on Joao Pedro: "Joao's situation is a bit strange, different. He was on holiday. Even if he was working... but we are very happy with Joao in the last two days. We'll see tomorrow to see if we can give him some minutes."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "I really respect Palmeiras because you can see how well they are in terms of organisation, they press, aggressive, ready for transition, quality players. You can see clearly the identity they have."

🔹Enzo Maresca: "We try to learn, not just against Flamengo, but every game we play. The Flamengo game has been the only time we've played in a new structure and system. Flamengo are a very good team, same as Palmeiras. It's not a surprise, I really admire Brazilian football..."

🔹Enzo Maresca on Enzo Fernandez: "He has to do exactly what he's doing, try to help his teammates, try to win games, try to be in the right position and try to do the right things. For sure, because he is from Argentina, he knows exactly the passion..."

There was a lot of satisfaction within the Chelsea camp soon after they made Joao Pedro their second signing of the summer.

This is the versatile attacker they had been planning to add to the squad for months.

With Isak firmly cemented as Howe’s first-choice CF, sources at Newcastle suggested Joao Pedro may feel he has a better chance of leading the line at Stamford Bridge than at St James’ Park, even if the plan was for him to both complement and stand in for Isak.

One Newcastle insider suggested a deal for Joao Pedro was there for the taking in mid-June and wonders whether, had they acted faster, they might have put themselves into a position where Chelsea could not have responded quickly enough.
