Enzo Maresca said he appreciated the backing of Chelseas fans after they sung his name during Tuesdays 3-1 win at Cardiff in the League Cup quarter-finals.
Chelsea moved into the semi-finals thanks to Alejandro Garnachos double and a Pedro Neto strike after David Turnbull equalised for League One leaders Cardiff.
The Blues didnt have it all their own way in a hard-fought clash, but reaching a third semi-final in 18 months provided further evidence of Marescas impact since he arrived from Leicester in 2024.
