“We certainly didn’t” – Rival Manager denies claims and puts praise on Chelsea | OneFootball

A rival manager to Enzo Maresca has come out and denied some claims made about a recent game and heaps praise on Chelsea as a result.

The Blues lost 2-1 to Liverpool on Sunday evening in what ended up actually being a very close game of football.

BIG EXCLUSIVE!! Chelsea exploring ambitious move to sign Manchester City centre back as well as watching TWO Benfica defenders!!

Chelsea would have felt unlucky not to come away with more than zero points, and Liverpool would have felt relieved to have reached the final whistle taking all three points. For me, that has never been a debate.

Some have said that Liverpool deserved their win and Chelsea didn’t deserve even a point, but this is something that has been denied by Liverpool manager Arne Slot in his latest words.

And also, this is a fact, because Chelsea did dominate this game with 58% possession, especially when you consider it was at Anfield as well.

Slot speaks

Slot impressed with Chelsea

Asked about Chelsea ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, Slot said: ‘I don’t think we outplayed Chelsea, we certainly didn’t.

‘I think they were more dominant than us with the ball. In an ideal world I would have seen us dominate the complete game like we did in so many other games.

‘We are not there yet but the good thing about this team and the result was that if you face a team like Chelsea, you see a team that is fighting for every centimetre and for every moment and that is what we did.

‘I’m hoping in the future, hopefully in the near future, that when we play a game like this we are more dominant than we were against Chelsea. But that probably says a lot about Chelsea as well.

‘A lot of people in England were making fun of Chelsea earlier in the season for investing so much money and bringing in all these players that weren’t in the squad but in my opinion they have done really well in the last two of three years bringing so many talented players in.

‘They have such a strong squad with such a good manager that they will be up there in the coming years. That is my opinion, let’s see if I am right.’
