New Chelsea boss is set for the season with his newly assembled squad, and has already made some tough decisions regarding the team.

However, Enzo Maresca has said he doesn’t buy the idea of having a first XI. According to Enzo Maresca, anyone who doesn’t train well will be benched.

Maresca said: “I judge and choose the first XI depending on how they work every day, all of them.”

“If they are bad in training sessions and they don’t train with intensity, they are not going to play. If they don’t play on Sunday in the Premier League, and they think they’re going to play on Thursday, if they don’t train well from Sunday to Thursday, they are not going to play in the Premier League, and they are not going to play on Thursday.”

“Chelsea is a demanding club. You have to fight until the end to get your place. If you think I am going to give you a chance without working hard, forget it. The first XI is about performance. This is the way I like to work with the players.”
