October 4th News Maresca said in an interview before the game that Paris and Chelsea had many injuries, which may be affected by participating in the New Club World Cup.

Previously, FIFPRO, the International Federation of Professional Football Players, released a report that Chelsea had a 20-day rest time after the Club World Cup and Paris had a 22-day rest time.

Maresca said: "This is the reality. If Paris and Chelsea have so many injuries, it may be some of the impact of participating in the Club World Cup. We have four or five defenders out of the game, but we will try to adapt and find the right solution.

It is really difficult, but I also trust the existing players. Of course, it will be better when you can change a player after four or five games. The more you play with your teammates, the more you understand. Sometimes you don't even have to talk on the court to understand what the other person means. And if you keep changing players, the situation becomes More complicated.

But I trust young players very much, not just young players I bought, but also young players in the youth training camp. Last year I gave Achimpen a lot of opportunities to play, which shows that I trust young players."

Maresca also talked about the issue of Chelsea's red and yellow cards: "I don't think there is any discipline issue. The specific situation must be analyzed. If it is a red card caused by a malicious foul or poor discipline, it is different from a red card against Manchester United or Brighton. In that case, you only have two to three seconds to decide whether to foul, which is really difficult."
