Malo Gusto names one special “objective” Chelsea had on Thursday night to end disappointing habit | OneFootball

Malo Gusto has not featured as much this season as he did last, but he’s still had an important role to play, especially in the Conference League second string which has just earned its place in the final.

Speaking after the semi final second leg, the Frenchman noted there was one thing in particular that he and his teammates were pleased with: a clean sheet.

“We didn’t concede. It was our objective as well to have a clean sheet on Thursday because we were already surprised sometimes, especially in the second half of the last games,” he said, referring to some sloppy late goals the Blues B team had conceded, such as in the first leg.

“So it was important for us to do the job and that’s what we did on Thursday.”

Position changes not a problem for versatile Gusto

Players playing out of position is a real feature of the second string, and at times it’s felt like half the team is being moved around. But Gusto, like the rest of them, doesn’t have a problem with it:

“That’s what Enzo [Maresca] asks for, for us to be good everywhere, and that’s what I try to do. It doesn’t matter where I play, I just try to give my best to help the team,” explained the France international.

“It’s good for the team because it was our objective to go to this final and it will be important for the club to win this trophy, so we just have to go to the final and do our best to get this trophy. It’s a big objective for the club. We can be the first one to hold all the European trophies, so that’s going to be top for us, for the club and for the fans as well.”
