Despite Chelsea’s remarkable 8-0 victory over Noah, manager Enzo Maresca was quick to remind his players about the importance of staying focused and respecting every opponent.

While fans may celebrate the dominant display, Maresca’s comments indicate he’s keen to keep the team grounded and avoid complacency.

Reflecting on the early stages of the match, Maresca highlighted an opening lapse that could have cost the team.

“In the first five minutes, we conceded a chance. You have to be focused,” he remarked, emphasizing the need for Chelsea to maintain concentration from the very beginning of every game.

Maresca also stressed the importance of respecting their opponents, no matter the scoreline or perceived differences in quality.

“The way to show respect to them, don’t underestimate them. Football is full of these kind of surprises,” he warned, alluding to the unpredictable nature of the sport.

Chelsea’s manager made it clear that these moments of laxity are something the team must eliminate to continue their successful trajectory.

“We don’t need that,” he concluded, reinforcing his focus on consistency and professionalism, even in matches that appear one-sided.

With his comments, Maresca has sent a clear message to the squad that while Chelsea fans can celebrate, the team must keep their standards high and stay ready for any challenge that comes their way.
