Cucurella: More understanding of Maresca s idea; Chelsea hopes to beat Liverpool

Hupu October 2nd News Chelsea's official website interviewed Kukurelia.

"We are ready for a match like this," Mark said after his Champions League victory over the Portuguese team.

"No doubt, I think Liverpool deserved to win the league last season. This season, they started very strongly, but I think Chelsea has tried their best to fight against Liverpool in the last few games against Liverpool.

We played at home and tried to get all three points because the recent Premier League record has been a bit tough for us. We have a chance to win a victory before international match day."

The left-back believes that Chelsea's mid-week victory can serve as a springboard for the weekend, noting that the team was united in defense against Benfica at Stamford Bridge and maintained a solid late in the game.

"In the game against Benfica, we kept the clean sheet. At the last moment, we worked hard like a team and showed a strong team spirit.

I think we are working hard. We do need to learn, and try not to lose those easy balls. We need to keep improving. We are strong and talented, but we need to learn because every game is a good opportunity to improve ourselves.

It is very important for us to regain confidence, and the game against Benfica has helped us do this. This is the first time we have played at home in the Champions League in the past two seasons, so this game is very special. We need to create such an atmosphere on Saturday, and we will strive to get all three points."

Cukurelia and Maresca have worked for more than a year. He believes that the Blues benefited from working with the head coach on the training ground, but he also admits that the team still has a lot of room for growth.

"I think we know the head coach's mind better now. There are some things we've been working on for a long time, but I think we have some new players, and this year's preseason is only half the time, and we need time together.

This is not an excuse. We have strength and talent. It's a long journey, we're just starting and need to keep moving forward. What kind of results can we achieve at the end of the season, let's wait and see."
