Enzo Maresca names Chelsea’s best game this season and answer will surprise fans | OneFootball

Chelsea have had a good start to the season under Enzo Maresca and the Italian has recently revealed what game he believes has been the Blues’ best of the campaign so far.

Maresca was appointed as Mauricio Pochettino’s successor this summer after guiding Leicester to the Championship title last season and signed a five year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have certainly taken a gamble in appointing the 44-year-old, but he recently revealed why he had no doubts about taking the job.

The Italian has adapted to life very well in the Premier League and the Blues currently sit fourth with 14 points from a possible 21.

Maresca’s men are unbeaten since the opening day of the season against Manchester City, but face their toughest test to date as they travel to Anfield on Sunday to face Liverpool, with the 44-year-old recently providing insight into how the Blues might approach the game.

Chelsea’s players have taken Maresca’s ideas on board quicker than many would have thought and already at this early stage he’s been able to establish an identity and a clear style of play.

The Blues look very dangerous going forward and are the second highest scorers in the league with 16 goals, just one behind Manchester City, whilst they have also improved defensively in recently weeks.

There have been some great performances such as the wins away at Wolves and West Ham, but Maresca has surprisingly picked the only game they have lost so far as their best game of the season.

“I consider the City game our best this season, for many reasons,” he told reporters in quotes picked up by The Independent.

“First of all because I know City, and second because we really played a good game, didn’t concede many chances. We had many chances before and after they scored.
