“He will makes us lose top4 if he continues doing this same mistakes” – Ashley Cole warns Enzo Maresca ahead of second phase of the season
Although Enzo Maresca has been well praised for his contributions to Chelsea during the first half of the season, his squad began to show some signs of weakness during the holiday season.
Following a draw with Everton and consecutive Premier League losses to Fulham and Ipswich Town, Chelsea has lost their past three games.
Enzo Maresca’s success since taking over as Chelsea manager in the summer is demonstrated by the recent discussion of the Blues being possible title candidates.
But after a minor setback, his team has dropped to fourth place in the division table.
Regarding Ashley Cole’s remarks regarding Maresca’s mistakes, a former Chelsea defender,
The management of Nicolas Jackson is awful.
Ashley Cole has blasted Maresca for benching Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, during the team’s recent trip to Ipswich Town, where they lost 2-0—possibly their worst performance of the season.
With nine league goals this season, the Senegalese attacker is the Blues’ first-choice center-forward. Christopher Nkunku struggled to lead the line in his place, thus he did not start the Ipswich loss.
Ashley Cole tells Chelsea247, “I think the one thing that Enzo Maresca needs to learn is that he has to start with Nicolas Jackson when Chelsea play away from home.”
Additionally, Nicolas Anelka questioned Enzo Maresca’s in-game strategies and substitutions, particularly when his team isn’t playing well.
As the Premier League enters its second round, the former Chelsea and French forward thinks Enzo Maresca must make amends quickly to prevent a bad run.
