Chelsea's Maresca slams Delap for 'stupid' red card
""For today we have a very a stupid red card, that was completely unnecessary, absolute it was a stupid foul, we can avoid that," Maresca said."
""I completely support and understand the red card like against Brighton and Manchester United that is difficult, but the red card against Nottingham and a red card today, we can avoid that and we have to avoid that.""
""It's embarrassing when it is a red card like today. It's embarrassing. Two yellow cards in seven minutes. Both I think we can avoid.""
""After the first yellow card I told him to four or five times 'keep calm,' but he's a player when he is inside the pitch, probably he is playing the game for himself and he struggled to realize and to listen around him.""
Liam Delap was sent off after receiving two yellow cards within seven minutes following his substitute appearance, ruling him out of the upcoming match with Tottenham. The first booking came for wrestling Yerson Mosquera to the ground, and the second followed a reckless aerial challenge with Emmanuel Agbadou. The dismissal occurred in Chelsea's 4-3 Carabao Cup victory at Molineux, where Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time through goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George and Estêvão. Manager Enzo Maresca called the red card stupid and embarrassing, said he repeatedly urged Delap to keep calm, and criticized him for playing for himself. The sending-off was Chelsea's sixth red card in nine games this season.
