Chelsea have a good squad with lots of amazing talents, and many are looking at the potential of the squad, as they are mostly young players.
However, Enzo Maresca has pointed out a huge problem in the Chelsea squad.
According to Enzo Maresca, there’s a lack of leadership in the Chelsea squad.
Reece James is currently the captain, but Enzo Maresca doesn’t think he’s there yet, as well as other players in the team.
“I spoke with him and I expect from him more in terms of leadership inside the changing room,” said Maresca. “He’s on the way, he’s doing well, he’s progressing but I expect more.
“Most of the time, a player thinks that because I am captain I expect that you give me more. No, for me because you are the captain you have to give more. You have to give more than the rest. Sometimes, I am the captain I can give less? No, no, no.
“I expect it from Reece and his team-mates expect it from him to give always more in terms of leadership. He’s understanding that we’re expecting more from him. He’s our guy from the academy. It’s one of the reasons why he has to show more in terms of personality.
“He’s a reserved guy. But when you don’t have a proper leader, you need to build that. I think we don’t have a proper leader. We need to build them. Reece is one who is on the way but he’s not there. He needs to make an effort.
“The one that is doing fantastic is Levi (Colwill). At the beginning he was not a leader but now you can see he’s one of the guys that’s always speaking. Marc Cucurella is one of the guys, but we need more and more. It’s something that comes with age.
“In two, three years some of them will be better at that. We have to help them understand the leadership side.”
I think you have to give some more time to Reece he is young guy it is not easily to handle such pressure
