Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca spoke about Alejandro Garnacho’s performance against Benfica.
Alejandro Garnacho started for Chelsea in their 1-0 win against Benfica in the Champions League. The Argentine played the cross in for the own goal in Chelsea’s win and Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca spoke to TNT Sports after the match. Here is what he had to say about Garnacho:
“Garnacho was very good today. Not only on the ball but defensively… he was very good in the way he pressed.
“In the last third he has freedom to go one-v-one when he decides. To arrive in the box is important because it’s from there we score.”
