Maresca: Chelsea's Win Was a Bit of a Struggle, Despite the Scoreline
So, Chelsea won big, right? Like, really big. 4-0. But, let's be real for a second, the scoreline doesn't always tell the whole story.
And that's where the manager, the one and only Carlo Ancelotti, stepped in to give us the real lowdown. It turns out, even though they hammered their opponent (who we won't name, because, well, they weren't exactly the biggest threat), Chelsea weren't exactly firing on all cylinders.
Maresca, Ancelotti's assistant manager, echoed the sentiment: "The scoreline was great, no doubt about it. But the team struggled a bit out there. There were some moments where we looked sloppy, and weren't playing as cohesively as we could have."
He even went on to say that they need to "work on some things", which, to be honest, is never a bad thing. Everyone needs a little tweak here and there.
So, what does this mean for Chelsea? Well, it means they're not getting complacent. They're always looking for ways to improve, even after a dominant performance. And that's kind of a big deal, because it shows that they're not afraid to be honest about where they're at, even when the results are good.
This is all part of the Chelsea way, you know? They want to be the best, they want to dominate, and they're not afraid to put in the work to get there. So, even though they had a bit of a struggle, don't be fooled by the scoreline. This team's got their eyes set on bigger and better things.
