Despite Chelsea’s terrible form, head coach Enzo Maresca remains confident in his team’s path. As they prepare for Tuesday’s clash with Southampton at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are aiming for only their third league victory in 11 games, a win that could temporarily lift them into the top four and provide some relief for their 45-year-old manager.
The Blues’ recent three losses, including two back-to-back defeats to Brighton and squandering a lead against Aston Villa, have been particularly disheartening, threatening another season of mediocrity. The club has seen a worrying pattern of dropping points from advantageous positions, with a total of 15 points lost this season, 13 since Boxing Day, and an FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton.

Despite struggling to find the net, with top scorer Cole Palmer not scoring since January 14 and without an assist in 13 games, and striker Nicolas Jackson sidelined until April, the team faces a challenge in finding offensive solutions. Despite these setbacks, Maresca remains optimistic ahead of hosting the league’s bottom team, claiming that his strategies are effective. Reported By Express News.
“Now I am even more sure (than when) we started,” Maresca asserted. “I have no doubts about the notion. The difficulty is in general, people appraise the idea based on the results.
“If I had asked you a month ago if you were happy with the idea when we were winning every game and finishing second, you would have probably said yes. People are skeptical of the idea now that we have dropped points to seventh place. For me I feel even more strong about the idea. It’s just a matter of results.”
