“Please come & save us from Maresca” “You’re one of the best manager in the world” – Chelsea fans calls out for Enzo Maresca exit after what he did in Arsenal 1-0 defeat
Chelsea fans slammed Enzo Maresca on social media for his reaction after Arsenal defender Jurien Timber asked him to ‘try harder’ during their Premier League clash on Sunday, March 16. The Gunners defeated the Blues 1-0 at the Emirates.
Mikel Merino scored the game’s only goal with a header off a Martin Odegaard corner kick in the 20th minute. However, it was a moment between Maresca and Timber towards the end of the match that caught the fans’ attention.
A video posted by @TheBlueDodger on X shows the Arsenal star around the touchline telling the Maresca to ‘try harder’ before offering him a handshake, which the Blues’ manager accepted with a smile.
Maresca’s reaction to Timber’s comment did not sit well with fans and they slammed the manager on X. One fan berated the Italian manager, claiming that former Blue boss Jose Mourinho would have reacted differently. The fan wrote:
“Fvck Maresca. Mourinho would have shoved him. He won’t even try that with Mo.”
“Maresca is so annoying man. Imagine this potato tried talking to Mourinho during a Darby match,” another fan added.
“This is not Chelsea,” a fan commented.
“Omg the mighty has fallen,” chimed in another user.
“What have we become? OMG!! I’m in tears man,” another fan tweeted.
