Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is set to speak to Nicolas Jackson over his red card in the defeat to Newcastle, which could affect his chances of a Champions League spot next season.
The Senegal forward was sent off in the first half for elbowing Magpies defender Sven Botman in the face. VAR recommended a review after referee John Brooks showed him a yellow card.
“Of course, it (the red card) affects เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง the game 100 per cent and he has to learn 100 per cent. Especially at this stage of the season, with two games to go. “
What we have to avoid is these kinds of things because you have to have all the players available for the next game. It happened. He will be out for the season and he has to learn for the future. The next day, we will speak with Nico.”
Maresca did not appear to be complaining about the decision, but believes the atmosphere at St James’ Park changed some of the decisions.
“If the referee gives a red card, it is a red card,” he said. “But in some different decisions, in this stadium, sometimes the voices decide whether it is a foul or not. “
Even the red card, I thought in the second half, the spirit, the energy and the effort of the players was outstanding. We created two clear chances to score. “
It’s a pity we didn’t score and in the last minute we conceded the second goal, but I thought in the second half the team played very well. Now we have to win the last two games, we know what we have to do,”
Chelsea are currently fifth on points, level with Aston Villa with two games remaining, with Manchester United (home) and Nottingham Forest (away).
