Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has described his team’s 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC in their opening game of the Club World Cup as a “very good result.”
Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez found the net in each half to give the Blues a comfortable win over the MLS side.
“Very good result. At this stage of the season, it is also normal that you have to manage different kinds of things. Overall, the performance has been good,” Maresca told Channel 5.
The game saw Liam Delap make his debut for Chelsea, and the former Ipswich striker marked the occasion by providing the assist for Fernandez’s goal.
“The good thing about Liam is he knows the way we want to play, so the process is quite quick,” Maresca noted.
He also highlighted the debut of young midfielder Dario Essugo, saying, “We gave a chance to Dario Essugo, which is another player we have, so it’s good for both of them.”
