Hupu, October 26th: Chelsea head coach Maresca accepted interviews with BBC and Sky Sports after the game was defeated by Sunderland 1-2.

"We started well with the ball, but conceded the second goal. Against a team like this, you have to know how to deal with it, and overall, we didn't do a good enough job.

It was not one of our best performances. If you don't play at 100%, you can drop points against any team.

I think when we lose a game like today, it's not just about one player, it's about me. Our overall performance was not good enough and this is something we need to learn from as soon as possible because there are too many games like this in the Premier League."

About Sunderland's equalizer

"It's very difficult when they have 7-8 players in the penalty area, but we need to do better"

About giving the opponent a final goal

"We have said it many times, such as If you can't win, you shouldn't lose. So we should deal with this better, but it's really worth learning. "

Sky Sports:

"I think our overall performance was not good enough. We know that in the Premier League, if you are just a little bit behind, you can drop points. It's so hard. Overall, our performance was not good enough.

We started well and scored a goal. Even so, we felt like we were lagging behind in terms of physical play and two-point shooting. It's always dangerous against this type of team. "

Talk about long-distance power throws

"The game is always difficult, they will bring seven or eight players into the penalty area. We try to prepare for this, but it happens.

Our performance was not good enough. When you don't perform well enough, you risk dropping points against any team. "
