Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca found himself in a tense exchange with a reporter when the subject of his club's red card record under his tenure came up at a press conference.

Maresca pushed back firmly against the line of questioning, telling the reporter they were operating without the full picture — a sharp response that underlined the friction that can arise between coaches and the media over disciplinary statistics.

The Chelsea boss has been at the helm of the London club and their red card record during his time in charge had drawn scrutiny from the press. Maresca, however, made clear he believed the framing of the question was misleading.

"You lack information," Maresca told the reporter, a pointed rebuke that signalled his frustration with how the issue was being presented.
