“It’s useless” – Enzo Maresca will enrage Chelsea fans with his words on major incident | OneFootball

Chelsea won today but were given an incredible 4th red card of the season when Malo Gusto made a silly slide tackle to pick up a second yellow.

Leon Osman went as far as to call it “the stupidest tackle in the world.”

Maresca continues to defend his braindead players

Malo Gusto’s silly red card.

But Enzo Maresca has consistently defended his players, despite their braindead moves like this.

If you were wondering what the coach would say this time, whether he would double down on defending his players once again or actually openly criticise them… just check this out:

“Again, it’s something we can do better. But I am not concerned. There are some of you who ask why I am not concerned. We can avoid it, for sure, but for me, the desire of the players is important,” Maresca said in his press conference after the game.

“It’s useless to make a second yellow card with a foul but Malo showed his desire. It’s the balance but we can avoid that, for sure.”

Honestly, his policy of letting them off the hook every time clearly isn’t working – why not try a different approach?

He doesn’t have to tear them apart publicly, just make it clear that he’s actually doing something to change this behind the scenes. Otherwise fans are left frustrated by a lack of progress in an area which is going to cost us time and again.

While Gusto was infuriating us, Josh Acheampong and Reece James were delighting us. They spoke to TNT Sport at full time about their feeling having played a key part in the win.

You can see the goals from Josh, Reece and Pedro Neto in the videos here. That second half salvo earned us 3 points and lets us relax in the second half.
