Player that Chelsea fans want to see more of “needs to understand how we play” says Maresca | OneFootball

A player that Chelsea fans want to see more of apparently needs to understand how the team play first, according to Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea beat ES Tunis 3-0 over night in the Club World Cup in America after Blues head coach Enzo Maresca named a rotated starting Xl to rest a few players.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make further checks on Portuguese international centre back!

Chelsea needed to avoid a defeat to progress to the knockout rounds of the competition, and they did that with ease in the end against an opposition that they were just much better than in terms of quality.

Marc Cucurella got a deserved rest in the game, with Josh Acheampong starting at left back instead, but before the game, the Spanish international was expecting another tough game. But it was far from that for Chelsea in the end.

Tosin was MOTM

Centre back Tosin Adarabioyo was named as the Man of the Match in the win overnight and he was also spotted wearing the captains armband during a part of the game.

I think he is quietly going about his business but seriously stepping up in this squad as a key player and also a leader and one with decent experience.

Santos came on as a sub

Andrey Santos against Es Tunis

Chelsea fans have been asking to see midfielder Andrey Santos play in this competition and they finally got to see him play last night as a substitute.

But Maresca has admitted that Santos needs to learn his way of playing and you’d suspect this is why we haven’t seen much of him yet.

Maresca said on Santos: “He’s working well, but he needs to understand how we play. It’s the same for all of the new ones.”
