Enzo Maresca: The New Chelsea Manager’s Preparations
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has certainly been busy evaluating the squad as he steps into his new role this month.
Players Returning for Pre-Season
As the pre-season kicks off, players are trickling back to the training ground. Among them is the new signing Tosin Adarabioyo, who made his debut appearance after joining the club on a free transfer. The defense line-up remains a hot topic, especially with the upcoming match against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
Levi Colwill: A Key Player Under the Spotlight
Levi Colwill is one player many anticipate seeing in action, despite interest from top clubs like Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Last season, in his debut for Chelsea’s first team, Colwill often found himself filling in at left-back due to Ben Chilwell’s injury under Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure. However, it was widely believed that this wasn’t his best position.
Maresca’s Plan for Colwill
It seems Maresca shares this sentiment and plans to start Colwill in his preferred center-back role. According to The Telegraph, Colwill is expected to play in a central defense position, potentially with some variations.
Colwill’s Versatility and Future at Chelsea
Former teammate Lewis Dunk once described Colwill as ‘versatile’, highlighting his ability to perform in various defensive roles. However, his strengths are best utilized in central defense, where he can showcase his skills and solidify his future at Stamford Bridge. With talks of him being groomed for a future captaincy, the outlook for Colwill is promising.
