Chelsea midfielder, Cesare Casadei has come out to admit to hating life at the club under Mauricio Pochettino. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, making only a few appearances as a substitute under Poch was a harsh reality for him, and he definitely wanted to play more for the club.
Casadei added that he was very happy when Maresca arrived because he is a fellow countryman.
His words, “It was pretty hard under Pochettino because I only made a few appearances as a substitute. Eleven games, but only 71 minutes on the pitch. I wasn’t too happy. Everyone would like to play more.”
On Maresca, “I was thrilled when I saw Maresca arrive at Stamford Bridge. I am not the only one who has already worked with him. [Kiernan] Dewsbury-Hall came from Leicester. [Cole] Palmer and [Romeo] Lavia played under him at Manchester City. The coach was very clear from the first day, and everyone understood his ideas. Being a compatriot is handy because of the language; I can immediately understand his tactical instructions. However, I am treated the same way as anyone else. There are no privileges.”
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.
