Maresca praised his team's performance, saying, "I'm very happy with today's result, as well as last week's. Our performance was good, and we were able to score five goals tonight." He also reflected on the team's recent achievements, stating, "I've been enjoying my time at the club since the start. We've had some great results, including winning the Conference League, Club World Cup, and finishing in the top four of the Premier League. It's been a fantastic journey."
However, Maresca acknowledged that young player Estevao Willian made an error that led to West Ham's first goal. He said, "Estevao needs to adapt to the Premier League's style of play. He made a mistake, but he's a talented player and will learn from it."
When asked about Chelsea's ability to score multiple goals with different players, Maresca emphasized the importance of the team's depth and versatility. He said, "We have a strong team, and when we have Cole Palmer, we're a much better team. But we've shown that we can achieve great results even when Cole is not 100% fit. Last season, we finished top four in the Premier League, and no one expected that."
Maresca also pointed out that the team's ultimate goal is to succeed in the Champions League. He said, "In my first season, I wasn't asked to finish top four in the Champions League. But now, in my second year, that's the expectation. We're working towards that goal, and I'm confident that we can achieve it."
