The London "Chelsea” club lost to "Ipswich Town” in the English Premier League with a score of 0:2.

After the match, the head coach of the "aristocrats,” Enzo Maresca, stated that a tougher stretch had to come sooner or later:

"We expected such a stretch of the season this year. It is practically impossible to have a season without such a dip.

No one in this team expected that we would be where we are now. It just proves that we are far from competing and being consistent with the strongest teams in England.”

"In December, we played nine matches and won five or six of them, but then we got stuck.

In fact, during the last stretch of the month, we appeared somewhat tired.”

"We have to be satisfied with where we are now, but... it is obvious that we need to improve.”

The London "Chelsea” club has only managed to earn one point in the last three matches in the English Premier League.

The "aristocrats” have fallen to 4th place in the English Championship with 35 points.
