Jamie Redknapp shares what he really loves about Chelsea under Enzo Maresca

Jamie Redknapp has delivered glowing praise on Enzo Maresca for his start to life at Chelsea.

There were many eyebrows raised in the summer when Chelsea appointed Enzo Maresca, giving him his first senior management role in the Premier League. It’s looking like a clever decision at this very early stage, though.

The Blues head coach has made a strong start at Stamford Bridge as his methods bleed into the players.

There’s no doubt that this is a talented Chelsea squad at his disposal, but we’ve seen in the past many top managers fail with the pressure and scrutiny in west London.

Maresca claims Chelsea must attack and defend better if they want to catch the best teams in this country. Ultimately, that’s got to be the aim for everyone at the club.

Jamie Redknapp impressed by Chelsea

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp really likes what he’s seeing from Chelsea this season under Maresca. In particular, he thinks that they’re looking extremely organised under the Italian boss.

When discussing Chelsea on Sky Sports Main Event (7:10pm, 25 September), Redknapp said: “They’ve got a lot of quality players. That’s never been the problem, they’ve got just so many of them. It’s starting to take shape. He’s (Maresca) coaching the team. They look very well organised. They are getting a little bit of belief and confidence.”

Blues tightening up defensively

It usually takes a good chunk of time for managers to get their ideas across to a new group of players, but there’s already signs that Chelsea are improving under Maresca.
