Chelsea
Honest thoughts on Enzo Maresca blues? Ange Postecoglou is the only PL manager Enzo Maresca has faced twice (or more) this season and won more than once.
๐จ Enzo Maresca's job is safe for now.
โก๏ธ Full focus inside of Chelsea is on the run-in, where they can still secure CL football and lift a trophy in the Conference League, and there is NO consideration being made for yet another managerial change.

๐๐๐๐๐: Ishe Samuels-Smith has signed a new contract at Chelsea until 2031. โ๏ธ
Samuels-Smith joined the Blues in the summer of 2023 and quickly showcased his versatility, composure and leadership within the Academy set-up.
Last term, he helped the Under-18s win the Premier League South title and featured in the FA Youth Cup, but he predominantly played for the Under-21s as they reached the semi-finals of the Premier League 2 play-offs.
Samuels-Smith was also named in the senior match-day squad on four occasions across the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup during his debut campaign as a Blue.
This season, Samuels-Smith has become a fixture in the Under-21s backline. He has made 32 appearances across all competitions, primarily as a left-back but also at centre-back.
He has also captained the Under-21s on eight occasions and netted twice in Premier League 2 this term, the most recent of which came in the victory over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
There has again been senior involvement for Samuels-Smith, as he was included among the Chelsea substitutes for the FA Cup tie against Brighton and Hove Albion and was also on the bench for our Premier League win over Southampton in February.
Congratulations, Ishe Samuels Smith! ๐

Enzo Maresca ahead of Legia Warsaw [H] in the Conference League quarter-final second leg:
๐ค โWe try to always prioritise the next match.

โThatโs when you see if youโre a good team or not, in a difficult moment. You just have to stick all together. The most important thing is the reaction, to continue to build something as a team.

โA few players, Reece [James] as well, play the same way, but the most important thing for me and for us as a right-back is to help the team and thatโs what we try to do. I just try to give my best on the pitch when the coach puts me in.
โThere are many things I can still improve. I have to work a lot more. For me itโs not enough, Iโm just at the beginning of my career, so I have to continue to work.
โThis year is different to last year, but Iโve learned a lot of things about the new position, the way I have to think on the pitch. For me itโs good to continue to be more complete. For the team, itโs important for me to try to help as much as I can, thatโs why I try to do as much as possible.โ
