Chelsea soccer manager Maresca has given an honest and direct response to the recent highly publicized Sterling and Chilwell situation in his conference ahead of the UEFA Europa League play-offs. In the face of much speculation and questioning from the media and fans, Maresca did not hold back but chose to reveal the true state of affairs within the team in an open and honest manner.
He began by confirming the fact that Sterling and Chilwell are currently training individually, noting that this is due to a combination of factors, including injury recovery, conditioning and tactical demands. Maresca emphasized that both players remain an integral part of Chelsea, but are currently facing the challenge of limited playing time due to the sheer size of the squad and competition.
Speaking about the future of Sterling and Chilwell, Maresca showed both a realistic and humane attitude. He acknowledged that the players may need to consider leaving Chelsea in search of a new arena if they wish to have more development opportunities and playing time in their careers. However, he also made it clear that as long as the players remain at Chelsea, they will continue to honor their contracts and be respected and supported as part of the team.
In response to questions about his management style, Maresca, on the other hand, has shown a firm stance and confidence. He believes that as a manager, his duty is to ensure the overall interest and long-term development of the team, rather than to satisfy every player. He admits that in the competitive business of soccer, there will always be some players who cannot get enough playing time for various reasons, but that does not mean they are neglected or abandoned. On the contrary, he will help these players keep their form and wait for their chance to come through individual training and psychological counseling.
Finally, Maresca also expressed his wishes and expectations for Sterling and Chilwell. He believes that whether they finally choose to stay in Chelsea or leave, they will be able to find the right path for their development and continue to show their talent and strength in the future games. At the same time, he also hopes that the fans can understand and support the team's decision, and work together for Chelsea's brilliant future.
