Interview with the new Chelsea coach.
Enzo Maresca is not ready to retire from his first position as head coach of Chelsea, but he will change his mind about who will inherit the Italian compatriot Antonio Conte.
Maresca is already known as a coach who came to Chelsea with his ideas. When he sits down for an interview with journalists in Atlanta, the first thing he can remember is that Conte will remain the coach who won the Premier League in Chelsea.
Conte brought Chelsea to the title in his first season due to this fate. Before the start of the 2016/17 campaign, the club went on a tour of the United States. After being asked to perform in front of the team, Conte performed by singing his favorite Neapolitan song to "
On the contrary, Maresca insists that his five-year contract included provisions that he would not have to touch his butt, but adds: “If I said that if I help us win the title, then I sing shovechor!
Few people consider Chelsea to be one of the favorites to win in the upcoming season. The team has not won any medals since the Todd Boley-Clearlake tandem joined the club two years ago, and last season they were 28 points ahead of champion Manchester City.
Maresca knows better than others the scale of the task, how to stand in front of him in order to bridge the gap from his colossal robot sellers, not even talking about such teams as Arsenal. He was Pep Guardioli's assistant at Manchester City, who won six of the remaining seven Premier League titles when they took the treble in the 2022/23 season.
Maresca feels calm. “I would like to reach the same level (like Manchester City) as I have ever seen,” he said. “It takes time for the skin to work, especially if you change the idea”.
“Sometimes this looks like it’s true, but, for example, the people who are watching over us are focused on what we’re doing with the ball, we’ll be defending. Alas, I marveled at the richness of the last season of Chelsea and the world without giving a high pressure one on one. The stench must be noticed first. Mi hochemo grati aggressively in presingu.
“Before the game with Celtic, we sat with the staff and learned that they had played several friendly matches, and their first game in Les (with Kilmarnock) would be this weekend (4 games), and we played 45 vilin (only Carni Chukwuemeka is not replaced by. We could sit with our hands clasped and check, not risk, or we could gamble as we wish. I said: “There is no chance! We play the way we want, because we need to prepare before the season."
“The great difference between us and the dominant teams, Manchester City and Arsenal, lies in the fact that one club has the same coach for eight years (Guardiola), and in the other for five years (Arteta). We had two or three years.
“If we played against Celtic and Leicester, we would have played better, because I worked there as a river, and they knew a lot of speeches. Even if you start, the price you pay is on the cob. I'm 100 hundred chants away, so I'm on the right path."
One of the reasons why Chelsea asked Maresca, when they agreed to work as the head coach, was Leicester in the 2023/24 season as another club, and they finished in first place in the Championship - knowing that they had lost due to close rivalry with Guardiola. You want your team to dominate the ball, like Manchester City, which is another factor that matches the Chelsea bosses.
Ale Maresca stands up to the Duma, who is a clone of Guardioli, transforming Chelsea into a bunch of copies. Those same people told the club at the hour of the interview.
“I don’t think that people, patients, or the club will experience the same kind of football as Manchester City,” he said. “Because when I got to Leicester, and I met with the head of the board and the sports director, they said: “We want to change the style and want to play the same way the Network plays.”. And I told them: “We don’t have the same people, and I’m not the same manager.”. Those same ones happened in Chelsea. I said: “The idea is not good, but perhaps we need an hour, so the graves are as guilty as we want to lose.”.
\? These are the ones with whom I sometimes struggle for a little while, whenever I find someone to say: “Oskolki is a fox and with a beard, you want to fight like that.”. No, I don’t want to. I'm going to eat it the way I want. It’s possible, it’s close, because I got caught up in this idea, but it doesn’t mean anything.”.
No one has any reason to doubt whether Maresca will be choked by Guardiola. This began when Maresca won the adversity of Seville against Guardioli's marvelous Barcelona and won the treble in 2009.. In two La Liga games, Seville lost 0:7..
“I have to say that when I’m there, where I am, then I won’t be,” says Mareska. " I fought for Barcelona. On the field I realized that they are not the same ones who played against the other team. I was still studying and already marveling at the games, analyzing them, marveling at the training on YouTube, and immediately falling into a training robot.. How do you look after your squad and your children?. “I’m shaking,” Maresca said.
Their connection of the table is mitsny, so they often pray, including in the evening before this interview. Having taken over at Chelsea, Guardiola was one of the first to support him.
“We sleep a lot,” he said. " Guardiola sings that we can push harder."
Another great Manchester City coach, Manuel Pellegrini, made a great contribution to his coaching career: “He told me: “Enzo, you have to try to become a manager.”. Carlo Ancelotti, who won the Premier League and FA Cup with Chelsea, also supporting Maresca. Obidva taught yogo keruvati people.
So what does he think about the team, having taken it away from the downturns Of course, at the hour of the interview with Chelsea, how things turned out with the three or four mates, I can’t say too many good things about them.
Another Premier League club also wants to hire him. Maresca didn't know who was talking to him.
“I sensed the very thing that the stench (graves) showed me,” he said. “Christopher (Nkunku) was injured all last season, but I didn’t know how good he was. When I was healthy, I woke up. I know that Levi (Colvill) is even better, and he shows what I have discovered. There were doubts about Nona (Madueka), but since the winger is not suitable, he could take on a new role in the team. Before we do this, compete carefully and consider two options for selecting candidates for a position."
We have not yet begun to deal with last season's greatest Chelsea player, Cole Palmer, who was given an extended release after playing for England at Euro 2024. Palmer scored 25 goals in his debut season at the club, but it didn’t bother Maresca, who worked with him when he defeated the Manchester City youth team.
Under the leadership of Pochettino, the 22-river gravets has lost a lot of opportunities for self-expression, so that the high strength of Maresca can be used to irritate the attacker with the rank of adaptation.?
" You won’t lose money if you don’t work,” said Maresca. " I know that I love a little bit of freedom. Because Cole is like that, because he is at the same time, because he started for 10-15 years at Manchester City.
" Last season he scored over 20 goals. I'm sure you can score the poles, but it's not easy for any gravel to score over 20 in one round and repeat for the next season.
What we want from Cole, let him be himself."
Shortly before the end of the interview, Maresca was asked as if he had celebrated his first trophy in Chelsea. “I love cigars,” he says. " Partagas is the (brand) that suits me,” said Maresca.
Maresca took the team, as the cost is not cheap. But the stench will be a varity of skin penny, as Maresca will give away a spark that has not been seen in Chelsea for the last two years.
