Pressure is growing: BBC report on Chelsea board’s expectations of Enzo Maresca | OneFootball

The BBC have put out a report on how the pressure is growing on Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca already this season.

After six matches played, Chelsea sit 8th in the Premier League table and have not had a good last four games in all reality. They might have beat Lincoln City last week but the performance was terrible and they were very lucky not to end the game in an embarrassing defeat.

Chelsea lost 3-1 against Brighton yesterday and Maresca has indirectly blamed the club’s transfer strategy as a reason for the defeat.

Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for Chelsea early in the second half and everything then went to pot for The Blues as Chelsea tried to hold on for a draw. Maresca says everything was fine until this sending off.

The BBC have put out a report on Maresca being under some pressure already after this strong of bad performances and results.

They report that Chelsea set Enzo Maresca the target of qualifying for the Champions League this season with the intention of reviewing that at the end of the campaign. But with just 8 points from 6 games and 2 Premier League losses in a row, Maresca will surely know the pressure is growing.

Something feels off

Something doesn’t feel right at the club to me. I don’t think Maresca has been overly happy there for a little while and you know he wasn’t happy with the summer transfer window.

I also don’t think some of the players are entirely happy with him at the moment either. It just feels like there is some underlying tensions around for many reasons.
