New Jersey: Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca praised his players after their commanding 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in FIFA Club World Cup final, saying he "had no words" for their performance.
"I have no words for the players, they all deserve this and it's a good moment," Maresca said.
The Italian coach emphasised the need for aggressive pressing against a team of PSG's caliber. "I think they are so good that if you give them back - that's my personal opinion - you have to press them very intense," he said.
"I think in the first 10 minutes we were able to do it, in our ideal world. We have to do that for 90 minutes, but we knew, with the weather conditions, it was not possible to do it for a long time, but we tried to be very aggressive," he added.
Cole Palmer once again proved decisive in a high-stakes match. The 22-year-old scored twice to set the tone and earned the tournament's Best Player award.
"It's a great feeling," Palmer said. "Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that. To put a fight like we did, it's good." IANS
