“I can’t drop him, He’s my main man” – Enzo Maresca reveals why he can’t drop 21-years-old Chelsea star (NOT COLE PALMER)
The stability of Chelsea’s starting lineup has been one of manager Enzo Maresca’s greatest assets thus far at Stamford Bridge.
In the Premier League, Enzo Maresca has maintained with a very consistent starting lineup despite heavily rotating between different cup tournaments. When Mauricio Pochettino was in the manager’s dugout at Stamford Bridge the previous season, things were very different.
The five Chelsea players who have started each of the team’s ten league games this season are Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo, Nicolas Jackson, and Robert Sanchez.
Paul Scholes has been impressed with Maresca’s impact at Chelsea, particularly with how he’s made ruthless decisions and built his squad.
Enzo Maresca considers Levi Colwill undroppable from Chelsea team
According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea head coach Maresca currently views Levi Colwill as ‘undroppable’ from the team’s best starting XI.
It is explained that the Italian manager has been impressed by the 21-year-old defender’s form in the opening months of the season. He’s noticed the England international’s leadership traits, too.
Colwill recently claimed he’s playing his best football under Maresca, so it definitely feels like a match made in heaven.
The left-footer is a ball-playing centre-half who builds out from the back superbly. Similarly, his centre-back partner Wesley Fofana is great in possession and compliments him well on the pitch.
Fofana previously admitted he enjoys playing alongside Colwill in the heart of Chelsea’s defence, where their partnership is only growing stronger as time passes.
Levi Colwill is the Chelsea pass master
Whether it’s long or short, Colwill’s passing is usually crisp and accurate. It’s one of the biggest reasons why he suits Maresca’s new-look Chelsea side.
Fotmob has some interesting statistics regarding Chelsea’s best passers. Colwill sits top of the pile for the most passes completed per 90 minutes by any Blues player in the Premier League this season.
Jamie Redknapp claimed last season Colwill’s passing is “exceptional” for a defender, something which he’s continued into this campaign.
