🗣️ Enzo Maresca:

"You have to be honest with them [players], because they realise when you are not."

"When you speak to 22 to 25 players and you are not honest, they can see that. At the end of the day, they prefer when you are being real with them."

🗣Enzo Maresca on close relationship with the players:

"They are all friends of mine. Because of my experience as a player, I like to be quite close with the players because they need to feel the head coach wants them to be close in every aspect, not only football."

"Most of the time we are talking about football but in general I like to be quite close with the players."

🗣️ Enzo Maresca:

"We are ahead of where I expected, to be honest. Since I have started, the players have been open-minded and they are taking in all of the information."

"Off the ball, we have already pressed in four or five different ways. On the ball, it depends on how the opposition defend because we try to find a different solution."

"Against Crystal Palace and in the friendly game against Inter Milan, we played in one way and then in the others we played in another way."

"We try to adapt to how the opposition defend and how they attack and prepare for the game."

"We know we are going to play a great team, with top players. They have quality and quantity. They have a good coach, and good ideas about how to play. But we have to focus on our players. Every team in the Premier League has quality, but we have to think about ourselves."

“I think they [Chelsea] have a very good squad; they need to find the right balance under Maresca but I expect Chelsea to have a good season.” “I think Chelsea got this decision on Madueke right, and it’s part of a strong summer on the market overall for the Blues." "I’d say they look better than last season – Jadon Sancho and Joao Felix are two great additions and of course they also added more players.” 🔗 Fabrizio Romano - Sky Italia #CFC | #Chelsea 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC
