Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has spoken highly of new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

Dewsbury-Hall was a key player for Enzo Maresca last season at Leicester City, and the midfielder was a huge part of Enzo Maresca’s playing philosophy.

Dewsbury-Hall believes Enzo Maresca will win over the Chelsea fans in no time.

He said: “Will he (Maresca) surprise people? Definitely. Look, I do not want to be banging on saying we’re going to be doing this or that — he is almost unknown to a lot of people — but I can go off working with him and say my opinions and I think he is top, top level.

“Within a week (of Maresca starting work at Leicester last summer) all the players were sold. I was convinced. I am getting the same feedback here (at Chelsea) with the lads.

“I felt a bit stupid (when he first started being coached by Maresca at Leicester) because I thought I knew a lot about football. But he was teaching me things on a daily basis that I did not really know before. They were just little tactical tweaks — where you position yourself at certain times of games when players have the ball. It might sound little but in football, they can be so important.”
