"I always said it was a red card when there is no intention to go for the ball just when the intention is to kick another player. Why is it not a red card? The referee said it was not hard or aggressive enough. So to give you a red card, they need to see your blood or they need to see something. If the intention is to go there, it's a red card."
"Enzo Maresca blasted the officials after Bayern Munich made the most of Jonathan Tah avoiding a red card and gave Chelsea a rough introduction to life back in the Champions League. Chelsea's head coach did not hide his anger with the Spanish referee, Jose Sanchez Martinez, for only booking Tah for a cynical challenge on Joao Pedro during the first half at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night."
"Chelsea at least took heart from a spirited display after two years out of the Champions League. However they paid for mistakes at the back. Trevoh Chalobah scored an own goal and errors from Malo Gusto and Moises Caicedo led to Harry Kane easing Bayern to victory with two goals, including one from the penalty spot."
Enzo Maresca sharply criticized the referee after Jonathan Tah received only a booking for a cynical challenge on Joao Pedro during the buildup to Cole Palmer's goal. Maresca insisted the tackle warranted a red card and protested the decision, earning a booking himself. Vincent Kompany confirmed Tah was substituted at half-time because he was on a yellow card. Chelsea lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich as defensive mistakes produced an own goal by Trevoh Chalobah and errors from Malo Gusto and Moises Caicedo led to two Harry Kane goals, one from the penalty spot. Chelsea showed spirit despite the result.
