Enzo Maresca on Spurs:
βThey are, first of all, have good players and manager. Itβs very clear what they want to do on and off the ball. What kind of problems they have, I donβt know. You have to be there to understand. A fantastic team, they beat City 4-0 two weeks ago.β
Enzo Maresca on Moises Caicedo inverting from RB:
βIt is something that was in our minds since day one but because of the Romeo injury and the Enzo moment, we used Moi as a holding midfielder. We used him right-back last game and in the future we can expect to see him there. For sure, it could be an option.β

Enzo Maresca on Enzo Fernandez:
βHeβs improving a lot in terms of understanding the game and the position. Now heβs arriving in the box. This is what we need from the attacking players. He has many things he can do better, all the squad do. Heβs in the right way.β
Enzo Maresca:
βWe take every game as a reference [for progress]. Our reference is just day by day, the training sessions. We can see clearly the players are on board, happy and enjoying the moment and way we want to play. Every game is a test.β
Enzo Maresca on differences between jobs at Chelsea and Leicester:
βI took exactly the same way - focus on the squad, these players, how we can help them and improve the team. The same way I took Leicester was exactly the same way. Focus on improving the players and the team.β
Enzo Maresca on why he is succeeding where Graham Potter, Frank Lampard and Mauricio Pochettino failed at Chelsea:
βI try to spend hours to understand how I can help the players.β

βEven the Italian guy [journalist] who is welcoming me [saying Ciao] is asking about the title race!.β
Enzo Maresca:
βIn terms of points and how we want to play on and off the ball, I was convinced weβd reach that moment but not so early. We can do many things better in both situations - attacking and defending. We are ahead of my expectations.β
Enzo Maresca: βI was upset in the first 15 or 20 minutes [against Southampton] because we were wrong in the way we were pressing.
I called some players to the bench, we needed to change. If you donβt press Southampton man-to-man, we struggle to recover the ball.β

π£οΈ Enzo Maresca: "The only focus is improving players and the team, no more than that.
I spend many hours understanding how I can help the players improve and to convince them. Today, we just finished the session and the last half-hour was just an extra session for some of the players to try to improve them.
We watch games, review games, look at how they can improve. I have four or five assistant coaches upstairs that spend time looking at the small details about position, control with the right foot, control with the left, play with the right, play with the left. These kinds of things."
