Chelsea’s squad is now going into its second week of pre-season. Enzo Maresca, the new Blues head coach,
met his group of players last week and got straight to work on the training pitches.
Italian bosses have completely turned into a real estate -based team in just one year with Leicester City, leading to an
increase in championships. Therefore, it is interesting to see what he can do with Stanford Bridge.
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed via his Substack that Chelsea’s players are enjoying the training so far under Maresca.
He’s shared that one unnamed Blues star has been “so impressed” with Maresca and even learned something completely
new about the game that he had never known about before. Additionally, some of Chelsea’s Under-21 players,
who have been taking part in the first-team training, have also been enjoying the session and have been impressed by
the advanced training sessions. Leicester central midfielder Harry Winks was coached by Maresca last season and his
comments in February about the current Chelsea manager give us some great insight into him: Winks said, via talkSPORT:
“He (Maresca) is brilliant in every respect, he’s a manager who I think can definitely go to the top.
His understanding of football is something I’ve never seen before.”
Maresca is just at the beginning of his Chelsea career, so time will tell which players suit his style of football.
Recently, speaking to Alex Goldberg on Playback, Leicester’s Casey McAteer has already predicted that Blues youngster
Carney Chukwuemeka will have a strong season. Following Spain’s victory in the Euro 2024 final, Chelsea fans’ attention will quickly begin to return to club football.
New coach Enzo Maresca has already received most of his squad back, with the return of injured star Wesley Fofana.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been the highlight of the new signings so far, and his experience working under Maresca
could prove crucial in helping him adapt quickly.
Nevertheless, the club employees who paid attention to the international tournament have definitely seen a certain player to pay attention to this summer.
