“I was shocked Maresca outplay us with this formation” “Chelsea could have beaten us” – Arne Slot reveals why Chelsea are the only team better than Liverpool this season
Even though Liverpool defeated the Blues 2-1 in their October match, manager Arne Slot acknowledged that Chelsea was the only team to really outplay his team this season.
Reflecting on the game, Slot praised Chelsea’s performance and acknowledged their superiority on the day: “It was one of the games [Liverpool 2-1 win over Chelsea in October], maybe the only game, where I felt the other team was better than us during that game.”
Slot also weighed in on Chelsea’s potential as title contenders this season, commending their impressive form under Enzo Maresca.
However, he stopped short of making any predictions about their final position in the league: “I’m not there to judge which position they will end in the league table. I have to focus on my own team, but Chelsea have been impressive this season so far I was shocked with Enzo Maresca crazy twisted formation, that’s for sure he’s up their to compete for the title.” He said
Chelsea’s strong performances this campaign have positioned them as genuine title contenders, earning respect even from rival managers like Slot. With Maresca at the helm, the Blues continue to demonstrate the quality and depth needed to challenge for the Premier League crown.
