Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca says he’s trying to emulate Luis Enrique at Chelsea after he “built a spectacular PSG” team.

Yesterday was a bit of a wild day for Chelsea Football Club and in all honesty, they became a bit of a laughing stock after they publicly failed to get two new signings in the door.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make contact to sign Premier League and England star this summer!!

Chelsea were chasing a deal to sign goalkeeper Mike Maignan before the Club World Cup starts, with the transfer deadline running out at 7pm last night. It was announced quite early in the day by Fabrizio Romano that the deal for Chelsea to sign Maignan was OFF!

So then Chelsea tried to sign Jamie Gittens from Dortmund and that one became the big headline news of the afternoon. But they couldn’t even get that one done either even after throwing in a late offer to sign him.

It was not a great day for Chelsea at all and the club managed to annoy and frustrate their entire fan base once again.

Maresca ready to copy PSG

PSG have been fantastic, and they’ve done it all with a young and inexperienced squad. Although, they’ve also had some key experienced players in their team as well.

Maresca says older players are not needed

In an interview with Corriere this week, Maresca says:

“Luis Enrique has built a spectacular PSG, in my own small way at Chelsea I try to do the same.

“The Champions League final photographed the dominance of a young team, capable of great technical plays expressed at an infernal pace, energy, running, pressing, offensive talent.

“Only in Italy do we continue to think that young people are always too young and that experience linked to age is what makes you win matches. It’s a cultural choice, which costs you in loss of energy.

“Chelsea spent to set up a squad of very young talents, but this didn’t stop us from beating the record of the academy boys who made their debut in the first team.

“There were nine. We all have faith in them, and in the work of those who weaned them.”
