Some Interesting words from Maresca last night: π
Enzo Maresca:
βThe reason why I said this [about finding the positives after FA Cup exit] is because we are not ready to compete in four competitions in one season. As I said, if there is something positive, it is we can focus on the two competitions.β
Enzo Maresca:
βI know that probably after a while when the club is not competing for important titles, [the fans] feel a little bit frustrated. But they cannot think that suddenly... we are competing for titles and winning titles.β
Enzo Maresca:
βOur goal, our duty is to bring this club to win or compete in four competitions but at this moment we are not ready. Am I confident it will happen? Absolutely. In the next five or ten years this club can compete, no doubt...β
Enzo Maresca:
βWe are all ambitious. I try to convince the players every day that this club belongs to something different than where we are now.β
Enzo Maresca: βI grew up watching Chelsea winning games and competitions but this Chelsea is not the same as that one.β
Maresca: βThere are clubs that have been together for three, four, five years but they still struggle. Why should Chelsea, after six months, be winning the Premier League, finish top four or win four competitions? Why?β
