Chelsea have a new manager in Enzo Maresca, and the Italian is already prepping the team to play differently next season.

Mauricio Pochettino was Chelsea’s head coach last season, and Pochettino was more into intensity and counter attacks.

However, under Maresca, Chelsea will be expected to play a possession brand of football.

Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has revealed the new adjustments Enzo Maresca has been making to the team’s playing style.

He said: “The new head coach brings very good ideas to play. We are all happy to practice every training with him.

“Now it is just the beginning. We need to learn and to fix in every training the way he wants us to play.

“We are on this way to learn. If everybody has the idea of the coach to play, we will produce good football this year.

“We are playing with the ball already a lot. As he told us the first day, he wants us to be on the pitch to practice football training directly. His idea is to keep the ball, so we are practicing that now.”
