The very fast process carried out by Enzo Maresca to make changes in the Chelsea team is surprising because it is actually not an easy job to revive the performance of a team that is slumping and Enzo Maresca has managed to do it well now and I am also sure that this is still the starting point for Chelsea's revival in the Enzo Maresca era because as time goes by there will certainly be better progress made by Enzo Maresca to make the Chelsea team continue to be in a positive trend.
I am not comparing Enzo Maresca with the previous Chelsea coach, of course there are significant differences that are clearly visible but what is certain is that now Chelsea is ready to compete for the title, that is a surprise that was not predicted from the start.
Maresca actually inherited a good squad from Pochettino because we can look back and see how Chelsea played well in the last months of the past season. Pochettino actually worked hard and succeeded to improve Chelsea in the last season and he gave this good squad to Maresca in the summer. It's great gift for Maresca but this coach actually did his great management jobs for Chelsea and their players.
He helped many players in Chelsea perform better in this season, and become better versions than themselves just one season ago. Winning Premier League is their dream of course but it is still a little far of reach now. They will need to focus on every match from now, and wait for bad performances of Liverpool to reduce point difference with this leading club, the biggest competitor for Chelsea in the league this season.
