‘Nothing Has Changed for Chelsea After Barcelona Win’ – Maresca
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca says their victory over Barcelona does not change the club’s long-term plans, stressing that the team must stay focused despite the big pre-season win.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has downplayed the excitement surrounding his team’s recent victory over Barcelona, saying the win does not alter the club’s overall direction or expectations for the season.
Speaking after the match, Maresca acknowledged that defeating a big side like Barcelona was a positive step, especially for team confidence. However, he stressed that pre-season results should not be mistaken for long-term indicators.
According to the Italian coach, the game served mainly as an opportunity to test tactics, evaluate players, and identify areas still needing improvement. He added that Chelsea remains focused on building consistency, fitness, and cohesion before the Premier League campaign begins.
Maresca noted that while the win has given fans something to cheer about, it does not change their internal goals or the work still required to get the squad fully ready for competitive fixtures.
Chelsea supporters have reacted with optimism, praising the new manager’s calm approach and tactical clarity. The club continues its pre-season schedule as Maresca looks to shape a stronger, more disciplined team ahead of the new season.
