League Cup: Chelsea boss Maresca lauds fans after 3-1 win over Cardiff

Enzo Maresca

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said he appreciated the backing of the Blues fans after they sung his name during Tuesday's 3-1 win at Cardiff in the League Cup quarter-finals.

Chelsea moved into the semi-finals thanks to Alejandro Garnacho's double and a Pedro Neto strike after David Turnbull equalised for League One leaders Cardiff.

It was a well-timed victory after Maresca claimed on Saturday that the previous 48 hours had been his worst at the club because he lacked "support" from "many people."

"I'm just happy, we're going to play another semi-final. It's what the fans deserve," Maresca said after acknowledging the Chelsea fans.
