Maresca: Sancho didn't play in the first two games because of technical reasons[SUCHUNFEI]

Blues coach Gianni Maresca attended the press conference and he talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About the injuries on the team

- No new injuries, everything is fine.

About Sancho

"Sancho did a great job, but of course the players can't keep the same level all season because the number of games is so high. He didn't play in the first two games for technical reasons, nothing else. Of course, he will play a lot of games.

About Palmer's influence

"It's great, I can see him enjoying the game, that's the most important thing, the players can enjoy football. You can see he continues to improve, no matter what position he plays. The last game against Newcastle he did well, the players worked hard and enjoyed it.

About Rhys James

"He has played two Premier League games with us in a row and done well, I am not surprised, what we want is to keep him fit.

About the pressure on the players

"The club never talked to me about top four, they always talked to me about achieving something important in the next four or five years. Of course, there are important goals that we strive to achieve every day. Are the players under pressure? I don't think so, frankly, if you go game by game you know where you are. It helps because if you start thinking about top four or top six, you need to think about June and for me that's too far away.

About playing against the best teams

"My thoughts are still the same, first of all, I think this team can improve in a lot of areas, we can defend better, attack better, control the game. As far as these things go, it's a learning process.

About the reversal in the Premier League this season

That's why people love the Premier League so much, the game is never over until the whistle blows. It's a different culture and that's probably why the Premier League is so good.
