Chelsea London head coach Enzo Maresca recently tried to cool down the expectations of patients and experts in order to promote the club's championship ambitions this season.

While the team is showing progress and is consistently in the top 4, the Italian insists: the Blues are not yet ready to fight for gold. Maresca clearly described the difference between his team and the main favorites of the league.

In other words, the main factor is the stability of the project: Manchester City has been working with Pep Guardiola for at least ten years, and Mikel Arteta has been working with Arsenal for at least five. Maresca emphasizes that he has been in the club for only two years, and is leading the team to victory in the Premier League right away - without ignoring the real state of speeches.

The coach stated that specific goals for the season can only be discussed in the winter, since the team will save momentum after the difficult winter period. I would like to honor Maresca by adding his resonant statement, made after the victory over Everton (2:0). Todi Vin called the two days before the game the hardest from the moment he arrived at the club.

The coach explained that these words filled the atmosphere around the team. I noticed that although the results were positive, they were not giving the people proper encouragement. Internal pressure and external criticism, after numerous failures, created a toxic middle ground that reached close to the heart.. Maresca said that the team needs unity, especially if it goes through the recovery phase.
