On the eve of Chelsea's upcoming home match against Manchester City in the first round of the new Premier League season, the team's assistant coach Maresca commented on the future of the team's defender Chilwell in an interview. Maresca said, the team is currently fierce competition, every player is eager to get a chance to play in the game, but the reality is cruel, it is impossible to meet the wishes of all.
Maresca pointed out that Chilwell, despite training hard, is currently facing stiff competition in Chelsea's squad and is finding it difficult to get consistent playing time. He admits that for a player to be unavailable for an extended period of time is not a positive situation for either the individual player or the coaching team. Therefore, he suggested a possible solution - Chilwell should perhaps consider leaving Chelsea for more playing opportunities with other teams.
Maresca also expressed his recognition of Chilwell's individual ability, saying that he likes Chilwell's current form and performance. However, he also confessed that due to the team's tactics and lineup configuration, Chilwell is having a hard time finding a suitable position at Chelsea. This undoubtedly casts a shadow over Chilwell's future development.
As the transfer window opens, both Chelsea and Chilwell are faced with important decisions. For Chelsea, they need to maintain the competitiveness of the team while taking into account the personal development of the players, while for Chilwell, he needs to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision that is best for his future.
