Enzo Maresca declined to clarify his 'brutal' 48-hour period comments and emphasized focusing on Chelsea's upcoming Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Cardiff City.
- On Monday, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca repeatedly declined to explain his weekend remarks at Cobham, saying he had nothing more to add ahead of the Carabao Cup quarterfinal.
- After the Everton win, Maresca described the previous 48 hours as the worst of his Stamford Bridge tenure and said he felt brutal treatment and a lack of support for him and his players.
- Inside Chelsea, attention turned to speculation about strained ties with co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart and suggested tensions with co-owner Behdad Eghbali, while reporters noted Maresca’s routine debriefs after games intensified scrutiny.
- The episode raised stakes by amplifying pressure around fixtures and making poor results more consequential for Maresca's standing, while observers warned managers rarely prevail challenging the Chelsea hierarchy before the next summer review.
- Maresca nonetheless insisted he was 100% committed to the position, respected others' opinions, and offered to repeat his point in Italian, Spanish or French while focusing on opponents.
