The pre-season isn’t just about warming up for the next season; it’s a golden chance to see which players might catch the new manager’s eye.
Enzo Maresca’s Pre-Season Strategy
Enzo Maresca is taking a thorough look at his squad through a series of friendlies, kicking off with a 2-2 draw against Wrexham.
Testing New Waters
Each half of the game saw almost entirely different lineups, helping the team get a feel for the playing style expected next season at Stamford Bridge. Reece James tried out a new position, but the real buzz was around the young talents stepping up.
Standout Performance by Marc Guiu
One standout was striker Marc Guiu, whose first-half performance won over Chelsea fans.
Chelsea Fans Advocate for Marc Guiu
A post on Chelsea’s official Instagram page saw fans urging the club to keep Guiu instead of loaning him out. One fan noted, “He showed great ability with his hold-up and link-up play. I’d love to see him get some game time this season.”
One user said: “He showed great ability yesterday with his hold up and link up play. i’d love for him to get some playing time during the season.”
Another added: “Train him until he becomes like Alvarez, give him lots of playing minutes and compete with Jackson. If he is better than Jackson and his finishing is good then make him the main player!”
A third claimed: “This kids going to be special, the way he moved yesterday was very promising.”
Another stated: “Don’t loan him Chels.”
Finally, one user said: “Don’t loan out.”
Despite the relatively low fee he joined the club for, there is plenty of excitement over what Guiu can bring to his new club.
Marc Cucurella’s Praise for Guiu
New teammate Marc Cucurella has already praised Guiu as “great,” and Barcelona wasn’t happy to see him leave.
Opportunities Ahead for Guiu
Guiu is expected to get plenty of chances to impress with a busy schedule of fixtures for the Blues this summer, starting with a match against Celtic this weekend.
The Drive for a Summer Win
While winning isn’t the primary goal of pre-season matches, there’s certainly a desire to notch their first victory under Maresca.
