We Did Not Have To Lose For Me To Understand Chelsea Is Not In Title Race, Says Head Coach Maresca
UEFA Champions League: Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, who in recent times has been adamant and grounded about the reality of his side and claimed on many an occasion that his side was never in the title race, once again opened up on the topic after dropping points in three consecutive league outings. Chelsea were second in the Premier League table before a 0-0 draw against Everton, a 1-2 loss against Fulham, and a shocking 0-2 defeat away at Ipswich Town which has seen them fall down to fourth place in the table.
"Yeah, but I didn’t need to wait to lose games to understand that. Always said why I would like to tell you we are there because it is something nice, not something bad to be in the title race, but the reason why I said that was because I didn't think we were ready. I didn’t need to wait to lose two games in a row to prove to me or you I was right," said Maresca in a press conference.
Despite not being in the title race, Chelsea fans will be desperate to finish in the top four, to seal a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Maesca stressed the importance of every game from here on out.
