It's hypocritical to say Chelsea is improving with the performance we have seen so far in this preseason matches. They conceded twelve goals in just five games and only scored nine goals. A lot of work has to be done in the defense.
Yesterday, I only watch the second half of that match but frankly speaking, Chelsea is not in any way different from what they've been before. Whoever plot Pottechino out has done a very bad thing to Chelsea. Seeing how €100m players were dominated by kids is very heartbreaking. I wonder how they are going to defend this team when premier league finally starts.
That's right, Chelsea management has made many mistakes so that their team is as bad as it is now and Enzo Maresca's task is very difficult, it is not easy for him to build a team from the beginning again like Chelsea now which does not have a strong team framework.
Several Chelsea pre-season matches have actually proven that they are now getting worse.
And I think there is nothing more to expect from Chelsea, they will not be better next season than last season and one way to make Chelsea rise is to provide support and also time for Enzo Maresca to build this team through the process, but if not then Chelsea will change coaches every year.
Folks, I get the disappointment. Right now Chelsea's not exactly on top of things. Still, lets not overlook Enzo Maresca's difficult circumstances. Considering the situation, he replaced Pochettino, who performed a respectable past season. Maresca is not now seeking to entirely reconstruct the team. He is laying on the basis Pochettino established. Sure, they looked a little wobbly versus Real Madrid in preseason, but those games don often foretell the course of the season. Right now Maresca requires time, confidence, and encouragement. From your perspective as the supporters and from the management. Here, lets not hurry to judgement. Not another coaching modification is what we need: stability. Should we follow the path, who knows: perhaps things will turn around.
