Enzo Mareska, head coach of the Chelsea team, assessed the team's performance in the 1/16 final stage of the League Cup against Lincoln City. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the match, the hosts unexpectedly took the lead in the 42nd minute, but the "Blues" responded with two goals at the start of the second half. In the 48th minute, Tyreek George, and in the 50th minute, Facundo Buonanotte equalized the score.
In an interview with BBC Sport, Mareska emphasized that the game was not going to be easy because the opponent team is one of the most direct playing teams in League 1. He also noted the need to defend against the opponent's wing crosses, free kicks, and clearances.
He said he was a bit nervous due to the difficulties the team faced in the first half. However, things improved after the break.
This Saturday, Chelsea will host Brighton in a Premier League match.
