Firstly, the Italian coach said that it was a great performance from them, both on and off the pitch. He added that they have doing this from the start but sometimes they are good and sometimes they are not.
Later, Maresca was asked wheter this is a step forward to which he replied that he is not sure. He added that they want to win every match and when they get all 3 points, they are happy. Then, the boss was asked the question which Chelsea fans consider the most important one.
Enzo Maresca does not think Chelsea are title contenders
The Blues are doing really well at the moment. They are on third position in Premier League and have same points as Arsenal who are on the second place. This will make anyone feel that they are in title race. But, Maresca feels otherwise.
“I do not agree with that. We are not ready to compete with Liverpool, Arsenal and City for many reasons. Because we win today, I am not going to chance my idea. We are not ready for that” – Maresca about Chelsea’s title hopes this season.
Lastly, Maresca said that they are improving which he feels is the good thing. The Italian has high hopes that they will soon compete for title. This is a very good view from a manager who looks at the bigger picture.
