“For sure” – Enzo Maresca makes major claim ahead of big Tottenham clash | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea will be “fantastic” in the future as the Blues continue to develop and evolve as a side.

Chelsea head to Tottenham on Saturday evening looking to return to winning ways having lost to Sunderland last weekend.

Maresca will be under pressure to get three points, and Chelsea sit ninth having lost three of their last five league games.

Enzo Maresca predicts bright future for Chelsea

Chelsea have a great record against Spurs and have lost just one of the last 11 meeting between the two sides, whilst they’ve scored four goals on each of their previous two visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Blues are a side who still need to grow and develop given how many young players they have, but speaking ahead of the game Maresca feels the future is really bright.

“During Wednesday’s game, the first half was completely under control,” he told Chelsea’s Website.

“The second half, probably after the first goal we conceded, we panicked a little bit. I think it’s part of the learning process of this squad and this team.

“Wednesday night, we had one player born in 2007, three players from 2006, four players from 2004, one player from 2003, another from 2002, and the oldest player born in 1997. So, it is all part of the learning process.

“We took some risks, and I was told after the game that we had an average age of 21. So this is normal.

“They are young and they need to improve, they need to understand, and they need to live some experience to get better. For sure, in the future we are going to be fantastic.”

Maresca also faces a number of tough decisions including who his centre back pairing will be, and who will start on the wings.

There were ten changes to the team against Wolves, and there could be a similar amount again for Saturday’s game, which is bordering on must win territory.
