Enzo Maresca: English fans don’t know how lucky they are to have the Premier League

Chelsea’s Enzo Maresca said recently that he loves the special environment and the passion in England, which makes the Premier League different from all other leagues in Europe in terms of entertainment. Looking back to the previous weekend's games, Maresca highlighted that five out of ten games had their outcomes changed during the stoppage time; one of them was Brentford 4 vs Ipswich 3, while the other one was West Ham 2 vs Manchester United 1, which was the last game of Erik ten Hag as a manager.

For Maresca, who did not have to wait for late-game drama in Chelsea’s own 2-1 victory over Newcastle, English fans might not realize how lucky they are. The Italian then said: “That is why fans are in love with the Premier League.” Here, you see it as just another league, but trust me l, you are from England you don’t even know how the premier league is seen in other countries. Here the game is never over. In different countries, if you are 2 goals ahead with five minutes to go, half the team is taking a 20-second siesta. It’s hard to come back. In England, it is quite a different culture. It is most likely the reason why it is so beautiful".

The win on Sunday meant that Chelsea has won five out of the nine league matches, and are only one point behind the Champions League spot in 5^th place. This team Chelsea has assembled is still young and full of prospects which makes Maresca’s vision exciting. Nevertheless, Maresca continues to follow the policy of sustainable growth rather than concentrating on the table. “I never spoke to the club about top four,” he said. “They always said the target is to build something important for the next four, five years.” We are doing that every day, towards that goal. I do not believe that to be pressure for the players – if you look at it match by match, then you realize where you stand without worrying about the top four or six."

The two teams will meet again in the fourth round of the League Cup on Wednesday evening at St James Park with the added bonus that Wesley Fofana will be back on the field. The young defender Fofana missed all of last season due to an ACL injury and demonstrated his determination against Newcastle after a clumsy knee sliding in the first half.
