Maresca: Now we often give gifts to our opponents, and this kind of thing can t be continued

Maresca said Chelsea players will recover before the Champions League match against Benfica.

Yesterday, the Blues suffered a setback in their game against Brighton. Maresca pointed out that the team needs to avoid making mistakes that change the direction of the game, but he is satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. He thinks the only thing missing is the second goal.

"We were frustrated because we only scored one goal and could have scored more. If we could score a second goal, even if only ten people challenged, the advantage of two goals in defense would be easier. Now we often give gifts to opponents, and this situation can't continue."

The Blues don't have much time to reflect on the loss to Brighton because they will return to the Champions League on Tuesday night. Benfica, coached by Mourinho, will visit Stamford Bridge. Maresca said he and his team will use the 72 hours between the end of the game against Brighton and the kick-off against Benfica to make sure the players are ready to rebound.

"We have 72 hours and then start over, and luckily there will be a game in three days, so we need to get back on our strength and strive to win on Tuesday."
