Enzo Maresca Broaden Chelsea's Horizon Beyond Top-Four Finish

Chelsea's new manager, Enzo Maresca, has no pressure to achieve a top-four Premier League finish in his first season. He focuses on building the team's future over five years. Chelsea retains consistency, ranking fifth in the league, with no current injury issues ahead of their League Cup match against Newcastle.

Chelsea's newly appointed manager, Enzo Maresca, stated there is no expectation from the club's leadership for him to achieve a top-four finish in the Premier League this season. Maresca emphasized a long-term vision of building the squad over the next four to five years, as he prepared for Chelsea's League Cup match against Newcastle United.

After losing only three of their last 14 matches, Maresca's side finds itself in the fifth position in league standings, just one point shy of third-placed Arsenal. Chelsea hopes to maintain this momentum without any fresh injuries, as they anticipate their upcoming clash in the League Cup round of 16.

Additionally, Maresca addressed player rotation, noting that former Manchester United player, Jadon Sancho, seated recently due to tactical reasons, will have more opportunities ahead. Maresca expressed confidence in Sancho's performance, urging him to continue his hard work and seize upcoming chances.
