Chelsea lost the Premier League match at Old Trafford 1-2 as Sanchez's exit put them outnumbered. It was the first loss of the season.
Maresca said "Everything collapsed with the exit three to four minutes into the game. It was a difficult situation for any team, not just for Chelsea. After that, all the plans I prepared disappeared"He confessed.
Regarding Cole Palmer's replacement "Palmer was not 100% in this morning's test. He explained, "I wanted to play for the team and made a tremendous effort, but after about 20 minutes, I felt pain and had no choice but to replace it."
Regarding the reason for replacing the two immediately after Sanchez's exit, "We judged that it was difficult to respond with 400 in a numerical inferiority situation because the opponent attacked five people in front." That's why I changed it to five hundred."
Regarding the background of the failure to hire Garnacho "I was ready to put it in, but Fofana asked to replace it due to physical conditions. So I put in Tyreek and the Garnacho input was pushed back."
Sánchez's exit revealed his painful feelings. "Roberto would have known. However, it was not easy because I had to make a decision within a second or two. But my thoughts are clear. It is much better to concede one goal in the first three minutes and have 11 players left than to have 10 players left."
