Enzo Maresca is looking forward to the clash with Tottenham and says the team is ready

The international break is followed by the FA Cup weekend, which means two and a half weeks have passed since Chelsea took to the field.  

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says the game against Tottenham Hotspur is very important for the team, not only because of the history of the match, but also because of when the match starts in the season and the impact it may have on the final weeks of the season.  

Enzo Maresca said: "This is a very important game and it means a lot to the team. We know how important it is for the fans and the club, but it is also important for the team to qualify for the Champions League."  

"From now on, every game is important for the team and we need to try to get three points in every game. Therefore, we have to win as many games as possible and then see what results we can achieve."  

"If we can finish in the top four or top five, it will be good for the team and the fans because we can get the team back to where we were. But it is also important for the players because they can realize what they have done and do something for their future."  

When talking about the match against Tottenham, Enzo Maresca admitted that the opponent has also suffered from injury problems this season. He expects Tottenham to send out an almost fully healthy lineup, and Enzo Maresca believes that it will be a very difficult game.  

Enzo Maresca said: "Tottenham have many good players, so it's not an easy game. In addition, this is a Premier League game, which means we will encounter any difficulties in the league, because the problems faced in football are unpredictable.  

"Nevertheless, I believe the players will give their all and their attitude and behavior in every game have been outstanding. Now, we still have a few games to play and I hope we can achieve the best possible result."
