Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has shared why he is not worried about the club’s disciplinary record. This comes after Malo Gusto became the latest player to be sent off towards the end of their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
According to him, even though he hopes the team does better in that regard, he is not concerned about the dismissals because it shows the desire of his players.
Maresca added that Gusto kept pushing hard despite the 3-0 to avoid conceding a goal.
His words, “Again, it’s something that we can do better, but I’m not concerned. I know that there are some of you that say, why is he not concerned? I’m not concerned, because I like to analyse. It’s a moment that we consider a red card, yes. We can avoid that, yes, for sure we can avoid that. But also for me, the desire of the players is important. Today, with 3-0, 90 minutes the game is finished.
Malo [Gusto] can avoid that, because it’s useless to make a second foul on a yellow card, for sure. But also the good part is, Malo is showing that he doesn’t want to concede nothing. They don’t want to concede a goal, they are playing for a clean sheet. It’s the balance, we can avoid that for sure.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
