“I have tried…” – Defender could have his heart broken tomorrow night by Maresca decision | OneFootball

We’re still buzzing about Chelsea’s win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend, one which has put the Blues back into the Champions League for next season.

But this season’s European adventure isn’t over just yet – there’s still the Conference League final to play.

Badiashile on Chelsea’s European adventure

One of the Blues who has been a regular in that competition is Benoit Badiashile, and he spoke about what it had meant for him in a disappointing season for him personally where he didn’t get much first team action:

“Every game is important to show you are a good player, and I have tried to play as well as I can in this competition,” Badiashile said in quotes picked up on the club’s official website.

“It’s been good for the team to play in Europe. It has helped us to grow as a team. Chelsea are a big club and we have to win every trophy we can, so it’s normal for us that we have been favourites for every game we have played. Now the coach has told us to keep the same intensity and the same desire and to prepare for this game like normal.”

“This final is a good opportunity to win something all together. It’s important for the culture of the club. There are not many players who have won trophies. Building a good team takes time. Winning this trophy would give us a boost to prepare for the Club World Cup and then for next season,” the 24 year old concluded. But will he get the chance?

Enzo Maresca has kept his cards close to his chest on who he’s going to use in the final, and we suspect he will play his strongest team. That may well mean Badiashile is out, despite his efforts all year.
