Enzo Maresca was very pleased with his team's performance against Arsenal, both before and after the red card. For the first 35 minutes, Chelsea clearly dominated, pressing high up the pitch in Arsenal's half and creating numerous attacking threats.  

The game took a turn in the 38th minute when Moises Caicedo was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Mikel Merino. Despite this, Chelsea still limited Arsenal to eight shots, their lowest number of shots against them in a single Premier League match this season.  

In the second half, Arsenal's possession time increased significantly, which is understandable to some extent given that they had played 52 minutes longer than Chelsea. However, Chelsea continued to actively seek scoring opportunities, coming close to scoring several times in the second half.  

Enzo Maresca said: "Sometimes we should be satisfied even with just one point. Of course, our goal is still to win the game. I think we played better than our opponents in an 11-on-11 situation, controlled the game and the tempo, and didn't give them any chances. The red card changed the course of the game, but the players responded very well."  

When asked what pleased him most, Enzo Maresca said, "It's definitely the players' efforts. Arsenal are currently at the top of both the Premier League and the Champions League, and their defense is arguably the best in the league. In an 11-on-11 situation, I think we had the advantage. Although being down a man changed the course of the game, the players still performed exceptionally well."  

Chelsea had several outstanding players in this match, with Robert Sanchez and Reece James standing out in particular. Robert Sanchez made several crucial saves and effectively controlled the penalty area at critical moments, while Reece James demonstrated his all-around ability in the midfield pivot position.  

Robert Sanchez's performance was nothing short of brilliant. Against Arsenal, with only ten men remaining, securing a draw or even a victory depended heavily on outstanding player contributions, and Sanchez and Reece James were key figures in that effort.  

Speaking about the two players, the head coach said: "Robert Sanchez played exceptionally well. Against Arsenal, with only ten men, players need to make crucial contributions to secure a point or even win, and Robert Sanchez and Reece James did just that."  

“We are very pleased with Robert Sanchez’s performance, and Reece James has consistently delivered excellent performances. There is still one game ahead, and we will have to rotate players to manage his playing time, but he was truly outstanding tonight.”
