Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said his weekend comment about spending the "worst 48 hours" since joining the club needed no further explanation as his team focuses on its tricky trip to Cardiff City for a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash.
After the 2-0 Premier League home win over Everton, Maresca said his players had been through a "complicated week," adding that "many people didn't support" them.
Asked if his comments had been explained to the club's management, the 45 year-old Italian said he did not need to add anything to what he had said.
"I can speak Italian, my language, Spanish very well, French and English. I think I was clear with what I said. When I want to say something, I am quite clear ... I said what I said after the game. It's finished," he said.
"I respect (the media's) opinion. I respect people's opinions. But again I don't have anything to add. My focus is on tomorrow's game where we can achieve a third semi-final in 18 months since I joined the club.
