Chelsea fans have been left puzzled as ITV appear to delete a clip of Reece James naming his favourite Chelsea manager he’s played for.
The news comes after Chelsea were defeated by Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, losing to a first half headed goal by Mikel Merino.
The game was obviously not without its drama and Chelsea fans saw what they expect to see every time Robert Sanchez starts, and that is him making a silly mistake and giving away a goal. This time he got lucky, but Maresca continued to back his goalkeeper at the full time whistle once again.
Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber was seen mocking Maresca on the side lines in an interaction that has annoyed Blues fans even more.
All in all it wasn’t a good performance from Chelsea and it lacked intensity, desire, energy, and any kind of real belief that they could get something from the game.
We are now into an international break and a chance for Chelsea’s players and Maresca to have a bit of a reset before our next game against Tottenham!
Reece James, who is now going to be featuring for England under his former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, was seen in a clip posted by ITV speaking about his former Blues boss.
As posted by Absolute Chelsea, James said:
“The best [coach from the ones I’ve worked with]. There’s various reasons why. He brought trophies to [#Chelsea] when we probably least expected it, in a difficult period.”
As you can see in the post, the attachment video by ITV has been deleted. I have absolutely no idea why they would do that, but we all saw it so it was too late anyway!
