Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUSIVE: the “Little Brother” interview with Randal Kolo Muani!
Chelsea is starting a new cycle under a new coach and with a renewed squad. Since Todd Boehly bought the club, Chelsea has experienced marked instability both on the bench and within its team. This year, former Leicester coach Enzo Maresca is tasked with creating cohesion in a team that lacks automatisms. However, the first results are not encouraging, with three defeats in five preparation matches.
Big defensive worries!
In a press conference, Enzo Maresca did not hesitate to point the finger at his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino, to explain the team’s defensive weaknesses: “Since pre-season, we have been working to solve this problem, since day one. One of my first meetings with the team was about the number of goals conceded last year with a very high defensive line. Offensively, we are present, the schemes are in place, we create chances. The problem lies in the defense; it is not only the defensive line, but all the players in general. It is an ingrained habit. We try to lower the defensive line by four or five meters to have an advantage. Last year we conceded many goals because of this problem. I hope we can solve it very soon,” he said, openly criticizing Pochettino.
