The agonizing triumph of Chelsea over Liverpool by 2-1 could strengthen the connection between coach Enzo Maresca and the fans, according to Willy Caballero. After Cody Gakpo’s goal in the 63rd minute, which equalized Moisés Caicedo’s impressive goal in the first half, Estêvão Willian’s goal in the 95th minute secured a last-minute victory. Maresca celebrated the goal by running towards the sideline to join his players, which earned him an ejection from referee Anthony Taylor. Because of this, Caballero, his assistant, assumed post-match media responsibilities.
Maresca had expressed his desire for the fans to sing his name, as happened with former coach José Mourinho. Caballero added that this type of victory can strengthen the connection between the team and the fans. Caballero highlighted the importance of the fans’ support during the last 30 minutes of the match, creating a hostile environment for the opposing team and giving Chelsea an extra boost. The technical assistant hopes that this atmosphere will be repeated in more matches, knowing that the fans will always be present.I think Enzo has a good connection with the fans, but any last-second victory, against Liverpool, Arsenal or important teams, gives you a little more and extra things.
