🗣Enzo Maresca:

"Very good result. At this stage of the season, it's normal you have to manage these kind of things. Overall, the performance was good, and we won the game."

"Absolutely [happy with his performance]. The good thing about Liam, he knows the way we want to play, so the process is quite quick. Good for both of them [Delap and Dario Essugo]."

"We need to recover. We have a game in three days [against Flamengo]. For sure, we are going to try to prepare the game in the best way and try to win."

🗣Liam Delap:

"It's a really happy feeling for me. I'm so excited to be here. To play and contribute in my first game is a good feeling."

"They've welcomed me really well. I've only had a few sessions, I can't wait for even more."

"It's really important to help the team, but I want to score some as well!"

"It's always healthy to have competition [for places]. It's football. It's an incredible club. You have to thrive off of competition."

🗣Mikel wishes Delap well but says he’s not who the fans wanted, the fans wanted Victor Osimhen:

“We needed somebody to come in and score those goals and finish those chances, but obviously he [Delap] wasn’t the guy the fans wanted, obviously we know who the fans wanted, the fans wanted Victor Osimhen to the football club but he didn’t.”

“He [Delap] is young, he’s gonna improve, he’s gonna get better, hopefully he hits the ground running and of course he’s gonna quieten those doubters, I wish him well, I hope he succeeds in this club. I still think Nicolas Jackson is going to be the main man”

🗣Mikel on Maresca:

“He’s building something special. Don’t forget the team, very young team. We’re putting so much pressure on them, it’s a very young team. If you look at this team in the next 2, 3, 4 years, I think we might talking about winning the Champions League.”

🗣Pedro Neto:

"The team did a really good work against a tough team. We came here, did a really good job, and we are really happy."

"Reason behind blowing a kiss to LAFC player after scoring? It's part of the game. I don't want to speak about it. In the end, we spoke - it's okay."

"Flamengo? To be honest we didn’t study them so I hope the boss is going to show us some videos on the way they play and we will be prepared.”

🗣Enzo Maresca:

"The environment was a bit strange. The stadium was almost empty, not full."

"Yes, very pleased. I am curious to see how Nico reacts [to Delap]. He competed with Guiu who is very young during the season. They are both good no.9s."

“After the Conference League final, Cole said he was quite bored receiving the ball but decided to do something different. I said to him you can do that from the first minute, why did you wait? We ask him to do that because we are happy he does that. Cole is our best player, a top player..”

🗣Levi Colwil:

"It wasn’t the perfect performance, but in tournament football, you just need to win. They had their chances, but hopefully next game we can minimise them.

"The most important thing was to get the win and that’s what we have done."

"Liam Delap? We're very excited. He's an amazing player and we know he’ll score goals for Chelsea in the number nine shirt."

"Delap choosing the cursed number 9 shirt? I know he wouldn't listen to that or read too much into it because he's a confident player. He's an amazing player, and we know he's going to score goals for Chelsea. That's the mentality we need from every player."
