What annoys me about conditions just like the Enzo Maresca one is that you’ll at all times see folks combating corners on one aspect, they not often attempt to see each side of a narrative. There are at all times two sides to a narrative. And no matter has occurred with Enzo Maresca at Chelsea, will at all times be depending on who’s telling you what’s occurred.
Chelsea can have their model of occasions, Maresca can have his. And lots of others can have completely different variations once more someplace in between.
I’ve by no means understood the Chelsea fan obsession with Maresca, anybody would have thought he had a Jose Mourinho impact at our membership. He didn’t. He’s removed from the worst supervisor we’ve ever had, however he’s definitely not near one of the best both. The stanning of him and the revisionism is simply bizarre. Sure, he helped us win the Membership World Cup, and a few issues he did at Chelsea had been good. However let’s not neglect that underneath Maresca, on the entire, issues weren’t that nice both. He misplaced a few of the dressing room as effectively, and fell out with sure folks on the membership, Bernardo Cueva being one in all them I learn about that has not been reported. He’s removed from a saint. He was additionally clearly having his head turned by Metropolis and desirous to go there while he was nonetheless Chelsea head coach. So, Maresca did some good issues at our membership, however was additionally must take some blame for the toxicity that we skilled.
On the opposite aspect of that, in case you ask Maresca, he’ll inform you he was handled poorly by Chelsea, and possibly he was to an extent. He earned a proper actually to get extra of a say in soccer operations on the membership. Everyone knows that we would have liked a defensive revamp, one thing Maresca requested for and received ignored. And now look, Xabi Alonso is coming in and saying the identical factor, and he’s excepted to have that actioned. So Maresca definitely has some foundation to really feel aggrieved too. Maresca I don’t suppose is a nasty particular person in any respect, I feel he’s in all probability simply opinionated, and there’s nothing improper with that. He was not their ‘sure man’.
There are ALWAYS two sides to a narrative, and other people on the market combating a specific nook and solely seeing tunnel imaginative and prescient on it proper now, want to recollect this.
All this chatter of Maresca going to Man Metropolis and what he did or didn’t do at Chelsea, and what Chelsea did or didn’t do, I actually couldn’t care much less anymore. He’s gone, we’ve received Alonso in, we received two video games left this season and an enormous summer time forward. That’s the place my focus is and all I care about proper now. Maresca can do no matter he desires, I’m not anymore. No level creating extra fan division, is there?
