Enzo Maresca disse Chelsea They are not ready to compete with them Manchester city and Arsenal Premier League title despite a strong start to the season.
The Blues are fourth in the table, with 15 goals, the only division players having won four and six matches under the Italian.
Cole Palmer, the undisputed best player in the league, the 22-year-old broke a record with four first-time goals in the win over Brighton last week, taking his tally for the season to six, while Maresca shows his quality. invejável strength in depth. Ao put on the pitch a completely overhauled starting XI to seal a stylish 4-2 win in the fifth Europa Conference League battle over Gent.
However, three months into his tenure, coach Rigitto suggested that Chelsea could challenge for the top two in the league to win a first title since 2017.
“We don't really know if we can compete like City or Arsenal,” he said. 'Eu really nervous, because we're not ready.
“The reason is that City had one coach for nine years and Arsenal for five. It's something you want to compete for important things, and you need time.
After the Arsenal-PSG match (on the third day), they ask the same thing to (PSG coach) Luis Enrique. The difference is that Arsenal had the same coach for five years, while Paris Saint-Germain had a year and a half.
“We (Chelsea) have been here for three months. It's a big difference. I'm really convinced that we can't compete with this club.
“The goal is to make a few people better and better. But at this moment we are not ready for that.
As for Chelsea, it will host Nottingham Forest on Sunday in search of four consecutive victories in the tournament, against a team that has not been able to win at home in the past two seasons.
The atmosphere around the club has changed since Forest's last visit to Stamford Bridge, last year, when Anthony Elanga's goal gave the visitors a 1-0 win, part of a run in which the Blues have failed to score in three Championship matches and we will only win one in six.
But after much criticism of a transfer policy that has seen its results stagnate as the club amassed players at a cost of more than £1.2billion over two years, it has become clear with Maresca's command that this approach will finally materialise.
“When you win games, it always creates energy, confidence and confidence,” he said. “It helps, not the treatment.
“But players just have to first realize whether the team is playing poorly or not. The results are useful, but they are convincing because we can clearly see the purpose of our identity.
“The results help (to achieve calm).” It is because of who é or what é. For the first two months, we had a lot of noise in the club, and I realized it was quiet inside. We hope that we can continue to do what we are doing now.
“I like to focus on the things I can control. The only part I can control is the football aspect. All the noise outside the club is something I can't control.
