The Ecuadorian midfielder emphasized the team’s commitment to maintaining their winning momentum, stating, “We are going to keep on working hard… In the Premier League, you never know the result until the end.” He praised Maresca’s emphasis on composure under pressure and credited the fans for their role in Chelsea’s recent success.
