In the club World Cup round of 16, Chelsea Benfica took out to continue to the next phase. After the game, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca spoke with Dazn.
Maresca said:
“I am very proud of my players. Sometimes it is better not to say what you really think about the referee.”
“This is a fantastic tournament. All top clubs are here. We are happy to be part of it, but it is simply not normal for competitions to be suspended that way. How many games have stopped at the World Cup or the euros? Probably none. But here it happened six, seven, even eight times.”
“It's a joke. This is not football. I understand that matches for safety reasons may have to be paused, but perhaps this place is simply not suitable for football. Come on, boys' a delay of two hours? That is not football.”
