Having had a fairly solid start to the season in the Premier League with 4 wins, a draw and a defeat, Chelsea are gradually gaining momentum.
Fourth in the Premier League, the London club is starting to attract observers under the leadership of its new coach Enzo Maresca. The Italian coach is aware of the good qualities of his squad but nevertheless wants to remain lucid.
For him, the Blues are still on the level of Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool. “ I’ve said it before, I really don’t think we can stand up to Arsenal and Manchester City. I sincerely think so. We are not ready and the reason, I have said it several times, is that City have been working with the same coach for 9 years. Arsenal have worked with the same coach for 5 years. If we want to be competitive for the important trophies, you need this time,” he admitted to journalists at a press conference.
Before continuing: “After Arsenal-PSG, they asked Luis Enrique the question. And he answered the same thing. That the difference was that he had been there at PSG for a year and a half. So imagine for us, just 3 months… It’s a huge difference. I am convinced that we cannot compete with these clubs. Our goal is to get closer to them little by little, but we’re not there yet. We will continue to try but there is no time limit. »
