Maresca also addressed speculation about Chelsea's reported price for Fernandez in talks with Real Madrid. He stated that he has nothing to say about speculation and that Fernandez's focus is on the team. When asked if Fernandez will stay next season, Maresca simply replied "yes".

Meanwhile, Chelsea will face a tough challenge at the City Ground on Sunday, where they will face an in-form Callum Hudson-Odoi, a former Chelsea player. Maresca emphasized that Hudson-Odoi is now a Forest player and that Chelsea need to focus on their own players and team. He also acknowledged that Chelsea feel pressure to win games, and that this pressure can be intense.

Maresca is also preparing for next week's Europa Conference League final against Real Betis, and he emphasized that the focus is on Sunday's game. He acknowledged that Chelsea need to rotate and change things to recover energy, and that they need to make some changes for the final.

Chelsea's away form has been a concern, and Maresca acknowledged that they need to analyze their away performances. He emphasized that he likes to analyze game by game, and that they need to understand the reason why they struggle away from home. On the other hand, Chelsea have been successful at home, winning almost all their games.

Beyond Sunday and the Europa Conference League final, Maresca was also asked about next month's Club World Cup. He admitted that player burnout is a concern, but emphasized that he is focused on the next two games. He also stated that no one cares about player welfare, and that players will only play if they are not tired.
