"It was a great moment, I appreciate, always thankful. In some moments when you don't win games, they have been not happy, but it's normal. But overall, the fans have always been there. These are the kind of games that I fall in love even more with the players because you cannot imagine how easy it is to slip, to slide, because they are tricky games."
"No, as I said yesterday [Monday], the day after Everton, I started to prepare Cardiff. Focus on Cardiff. Now I just said on the bus I will watch [Saturday's opponents] Newcastle and I didn't speak with anyone. I didn't speak, no it's OK. I always said that I've been happy since day one. So it's not that tonight I'm not happy. I'm happy."
Enzo Maresca said he was happy after celebrating with Chelsea fans following the 3-1 Carabao Cup quarterfinal win at Cardiff. He described the 48 hours before the Everton game as his worst at Stamford Bridge and denied speaking with club hierarchy after those weekend comments. Maresca shut down questions about whom he was targeting and praised supporters for staying with the team despite poor results. He warned about the danger of tricky cup games where lower-league sides can cause upsets. Alejandro Garnacho scored twice and Pedro Neto also scored as substitutes made the difference.
