Chelsea lost to Manchester United 1-2. Maresca was interviewed after the game and explained his substitution.
Maresca: "The red card at 3 minutes changed the game. "
"After they were sent off, the 10-on-10 game changed the game for us. We should have started better. "
"This is indeed a red card penalty. We should have received a penalty from Joao Pedro. "
About substitution adjustment: "The opponent attacked with five players, so we deployed five players to defend accordingly. If it was 11-on-11 Just four people defended. The game situation did change after Casemiro was sent off. We performed much better at that time. "
"Palmer participated in the adaptability test this morning. He was not 100% in form. But he made extraordinary efforts for the club, for his teammates, for the team. Unfortunately, he was not in his best form. "
"We have to improve our opening performance. It is unacceptable to have a red card penalty in the opening three minutes of the game at Old Trafford. "
