Maresca Says He Has Just Been Through His Worst Days at Chelsea
Chelsea ended a four-game winless streak with a 2-0 victory over Everton as coach Enzo Maresca faced intense criticism during a turbulent week, the worst since his arrival.
- On Dec 13, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said `The last 48 hours has been the worst 48 hours since I joined the club, because many people didn't support us` after praising his players following a 2-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge.
- The slump followed defeats at Leeds United, Atalanta and a goalless draw with Bournemouth after stronger performances against Arsenal and Barcelona.
- Maresca noted the squad strains, saying they played 16 Premier League games, five without Moises Caicedo and 11 without Cole Palmer, and praised the players, saying `They are doing very well after a complicated week`.
- The result lifted Chelsea to fourth place, leapfrogging Crystal Palace, and eased pressure on Maresca with his first home relief since November 22.
- He distinguished fans from unnamed critics, saying he felt unsupported "in general" but was "very happy with the fans" while leaving unclear if criticism targeted online reaction.
