Enzo Maresca faces a complex reality at Chelsea. Indeed, the Blues are struggling to find the consistency of the big teams. The Italian manager called for patience, recalling the significant changes that have taken place within the club in recent years.

Enzo Maresca has had a mixed start to his career at the helm of Chelsea in the Premier League. After a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in their first match, the Blues responded by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 6-2.

However, this Sunday, the Londoners relapsed by conceding a draw against Crystal Palace (1-1) at Stamford Bridge. This result places Chelsea in 11th position, in the soft underbelly of the ranking, five points behind the leader Manchester City and its runner-up, Liverpool.

Maresca sets the record straight

At the press conference following the match against the Eagles, Maresca wanted to clarify the situation. The Italian coach gave a realistic assessment of the current state of the club.

“There is one thing that must be clear: three years ago, Chelsea won the Champions League, yes… but today, it is no longer the same team”said the former Leicester City manager before continuing: “You now have to accept that if you don’t win sometimes, that’s normal.”

Chelsea travel to Bournemouth next Saturday for Matchday 4 of the Championship, hoping to quickly return to winning ways.
