Enzo Maresca has turned the temperature down on Chelsea a bit for now. He’s determined to avoid wasting pennies by turning the heating down a bit this winter, and he’s most likely sensible to take action.
For some, we most likely like to listen to our managers shouting out that Chelsea are again, and Chelsea are going to win the league, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth. However for me, I feel some realism is vital.
Yesterday’s efficiency was one of the best and most full one I’ve seen from Chelsea from begin to end in opposition to a prime aspect in a few years. We noticed Maresca’s fashion of soccer from the off and all through the sport, fully dominating the play. It’s coming collectively. It actually did make me marvel that truly, Chelsea is likely to be again right here. The boldness that the gamers are enjoying with and the way a lot they universally love and respect the gaffer, is all nice substances for a stunning meal!
However Maresca is sensible to show the warmth down on this younger crew and never pile on the stress. We’re doing effectively, however we should nonetheless curb expectations and provides a practical outlook of the place we’re at. It’s coming, and perhaps we do nonetheless shock many with our finish place this season, however even nonetheless, I feel we have to maintain issues cool for now.
Maresca was requested whether or not Chelsea have been title contenders on Sunday. He replied:
“I don’t agree with that. We’re not able to compete with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester Metropolis for a lot of causes. As a result of we win right now, I’m not going to alter my concept. We’re not prepared for that.
“The great factor is we’re bettering. Quickly, hopefully we may be there.”
I imply, while you take a look at the desk proper now, after 13 video games performed, it’s really factual that we’re at present contending for a title and are even above Metropolis who’re within the trenches. However within the grand scheme of issues, the season is lengthy and we’ve an extended technique to go on this marketing campaign.
Maresca looks like a really sensible man, and it actually is a good time to maintain that stress off this crew with confidence booming and performances getting higher and higher. I feel it’s a refreshing method and the correct factor to say on this second.
