At 23:30 on August 18th, Chelsea will face Premier League defending champions Manchester City at home. The team’s new head coach Maresca attended the press conference.
【Chelsea’s Current Status】
Maresca: We have been doing very well since day one, and we are making progress. Of course, it is still too early to expect the team to play the way I want. In terms of the process, I think the team has exceeded my expectations, and I can see the team making progress, which is very important.
【Team’s Injury Situation】
Maresca: The only injured player is Reece James. All the other players are fit to play.
【Gallagher】
Maresca: Gallagher is back. He’s training individually. He’s undergoing some medical checks and training. He won’t be involved in the game. Currently, he’s trying to find a solution with the club.
【Against Manchester City】
Maresca: After working with Guardiola for eight or nine years, you’ll find that he’s not a coach who always does the same thing, he’s always changing. This is a good time, an opportunity to show yourself against the champions. It’s a good test opportunity, against the defending champions, against a club that has worked closely with the same coach for the past eight or nine years.
【Osimhen and Felix】
Maresca: The only thing I can say is that they are not our players, so it’s not right to talk about Napoli players or Atletico Madrid players. At this time, the club fully understands my thoughts, and hopefully we can bring in some players before the transfer window closes.
