- Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to end a four‑match winless run and move back into the Premier League’s top four.
- Maresca made the remark when asked about Malo Gusto, praising Gusto and Reece James for adopting midfield roles and lauding the squad’s effort.
- Pressed to clarify, he said the lack of backing was from “people in general” and reiterated his satisfaction with Chelsea’s supporters.
- Reporters described the post‑match comments as cryptic after Maresca repeatedly declined to identify who had not supported him and the team.
- He highlighted extended absences for key players including Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Liam Delap, and Chelsea now turn to a Carabao Cup quarter‑final at Cardiff this week.
