Enzo Maresca, the manager of Chelsea, recently spoke about the team's performance in their recent match against Brentford. Despite their victory and move up to the second spot in the Premier League, Maresca maintains that Chelsea is not a contender for the title. This statement comes after their 2-1 win over Brentford on Sunday, where Marc Cucurella and Nicolas Jackson scored for the Blues.
Many have been praising Chelsea's recent form, with five consecutive wins in the top-flight matches. This has led to speculations about the team being in the title race. However, Maresca remains firm in his belief that they are not ready to compete for the trophy. He attributes this to Bryan Mbeumo's late consolation goal, saying that a team that knows how to win titles would not concede a goal like that.
Maresca also pointed out that even though they closed the gap to the league leaders, Liverpool, who have a game in hand, their chances of winning the title are slim. He spoke about the importance of being able to compete for titles and not conceding easy goals, like the one they did against Brentford. Maresca believes that the team needs to improve in this aspect before they can be considered contenders for the title.
During the post-match press conference, Maresca also took the time to praise goalkeeper Robert Sanchez for his performance. He mentioned key saves made by Sanchez in previous matches, highlighting his contributions to the team. Maresca also mentioned Filip Jorgensen, who has been performing well in the Conference League, as an example of the kind of competition he wants in the goalkeeping position.
Maresca expressed his happiness with the team's current goalkeeping situation, with two keepers who can compete and help the team win games. He understands that it may be hard to believe, but he stands by his statement that both Sanchez and Jorgensen are doing a fantastic job for the team. This is the kind of competition and performance that Maresca wants to see from his players, and he hopes that it will continue in the future.
