New Era Under Enzo Maresca
Chelsea fans are certain that it’s the end of the line for two players following Enzo Maresca’s first interview as the club’s manager. Maresca was brought in to replace Mauricio Pochettino, who parted ways with Chelsea at the end of last season.
Maresca, who previously led Leicester City back to the Premier League by winning the Championship, took the reins at Chelsea. In his first interview, he seemed to take a subtle dig at his former colleague, Pep Guardiola, during their time together at Manchester City.
Maresca’s Insightful Remarks
Importance of Pre-Season
When asked about the upcoming pre-season training, Maresca emphasized its significance. “It’s very important because we need to know each other,” he stated. “I already feel I know all of them, to be honest, because I’ve watched so many games in the last two or three weeks. So, I feel I know all of them.”
Fans’ Reactions on Social Media
Chelsea supporters quickly took to social media, speculating that Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling might be on their way out based on Maresca’s comments.
One fan on X wrote, “It’s over for Chilwell and Sterling.” Another tweeted, “Who else noticed the look on his face?? Man got PTSD right on the spot from Sterling and Chilwell’s clips…”
A third fan added, “Great interview from Enzo, just hope he doesn’t change his principles and sells the English dross asap (Chilwell, Gallagher, Sterling, Gilchrist, and Chalobah).” Another commented, “‘I have watched a lot of games…’ Chilwell and Sterling in trouble.”
Players’ Performance Last Season
Ben Chilwell
Chilwell had a challenging season, making only 21 appearances in all competitions due to injuries.
Raheem Sterling
Sterling scored just 10 goals in 43 matches across all competitions last season. His performance was particularly poor against Leicester City in the FA Cup.
Potential Changes Ahead
Maresca might decide to part ways with Chilwell and Sterling as he prepares for the new season. Fans are eager to see what changes the new manager will implement as Chelsea gears up for the upcoming campaign.
