Following a recent high-profile football match, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed strong disagreement with officiating decisions that impacted the game's outcome. According to a report by Matichon Online, Maresca remains convinced that the winning goal scored by Manchester City was not offside, despite the match officials ruling otherwise.
Furthermore, Maresca voiced frustration regarding the conduct of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. The Chelsea manager argued that Fernandes’ actions during the match warranted a red card, suggesting that the officiating team failed to apply the rules consistently.
