“I am even more sure” – Maresca comes out fighting with latest comments, fans likely to be divided | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca has insisted he has no doubts over his ideas at Chelsea and claimed he’s even more sure than when he took the job.

The 45-year-old was appointed as Mauricio Pochettino’s successor last summer after guiding Leicester to the Championship title last season.

Maresca penned a five year deal at Stamford Bridge and made a brilliant start to the season, with the Blues flying high in second at Christmas time.

However, since a goalless draw with Everton in the last game before Christmas, where a win would have momentarily sent the Blues top, things haven’t been the same.

Chelsea are falling down the table and currently find themselves seventh, on a run of two wins in their last ten Premier League matches.

Despite this run, the Blues are still only a point outside the top four, and have a very winnable game against Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Chelsea’s drop off is alarming compared to earlier in the season, and whilst injuries have played some part, fans are rightly concerned.

Despite the concern Maresca has come out fighting, and before the Southampton game insisted he’s got no doubt about his ideas.

“Now I am even more sure (than when) we started, I don’t have any doubt about the idea,” he said as cited on X.com.

“The problem is in general people judge the idea because of the results. If I ask you one month ago if you are happy with the idea when we were winning every game and we were second, probably everyone would have said yes.

“Now that we drop points, we are seventh, people have doubts about the idea. For me I feel even more strong about the idea. It’s just a matter of results.”
