Consistency and Competition
Maresca highlighted the importance of consistency, stating, “We are far from competing, consistency and being there with the best teams in England.” This admission comes after a challenging December for Chelsea, as reported by Maresca, where the team faced several tough matches.
Room for Improvement
While expressing satisfaction with the team’s current position, Maresca was clear about the necessity for progress. “We have to be satisfied where we are but… we need to improve, for sure,” he remarked. This sentiment follows his previous comments on Chelsea’s inconsistencies and the need to address them.
Recent Developments

He praised the potential of young forward Liam Delap and made the decision to omit Noni Madueke from the squad, indicating a focus on team dynamics and performance. Additionally, Maresca has reflected on Chelsea’s recent defeat, further underscoring the areas requiring attention.
